CAN WE FIX IT

 With the challenge starting soon, some may wonder why I'm still posting up stuff, well it's not like I'm likely to run out of models during the challenge, plus I'm trying to move a lot of stuff out of my room at the moment, as were hoping in the new year to get my hobby room finished, with custom shelving and a bed which help my health a lot. So first up today is a Tech Marine on jetbike, this is actually version 3, 1 was okay but felt I could do better, version 2 never got into paint, but the front and mid section made it into version 3 with a new engine and wings, the tech itself came off of version 1.


Painted in my normal color scheme, and the grab was a lot of work, but worth it. Next is a Tech Adept, you may remember that in my background the Imperium are investigating my chapter, and sent a Inquisitor, I thought it would make sense that they sent a full entourage and a tech would make a lot of sense, the model is a Forgeworld one, not sure if they still sell it, as so many are now out of production.


Went with normal Tech colors red and white, with lots of metals. I've also finished another squad of Kroot reinforcements, these are for the Krootox squad, which now has 5 Krootox, and 17 Kroot, which is a pretty descent size.


These are all kitbashed and not as GW intended, but add some nice variation to the squad, painted in my normal colors just variations. Who knows I may have another post before the challenge, but until then have a Great Christmas, and stay safe, and have fun !

PAINT WHAT YOU GOT 2025/2026

 Yes it's that time of year to start the next challenge, for anyone not familiar with this challenge it's all about getting models finished, so it doesn't matter if it the model is almost finished or brand new from a box you got for Christmas it's about finishing part of your hoard of models ! LOL Everything counts, single models entire armies ( probably talking smaller scales on that) scenery vehicles, if it's a model in your collection it counts, and whatever scale you prefer as well. The start date is the 26 th of December 2025, until the 28th of February 2026. Just in case you need some inspiration here are some of last years entries :


Hope you can join in and take part, even if it is only one model, it's an achievement, if you want to take part, leave a comment below, or email me at wargamesterrainworkshop.co.uk if I don't currently follow your blog, please leave a link to your blog. All that remains is to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

LADIES NIGHT

 As I continue to work through the four boxes of Kroot I got for my birthday and just because my wife thought I needed some more models (not really, but I think she was trying to cheer me up, and move out of bed at the time ! LOL) I've added to the hound unit, which in my case are all female. To achieve this I trimmed their crest quills down and also used a more muted skintone, and Quill colors, as you often find in birds in nature.


I still would like to add another 3 to make this unit the second largest. I've also finished 3 additional headhunter kindred, these can use a acid spit attack in close combat, the throat crests were added with greenstuff.


I've also managed to finish the second basic Kroot squad, and it now is a full size twenty person squad, the models all came from the Kill Team boxset, but the arms were not ment for these bodies, I kitbash them around a bit, to add some variation.


Still another 1fourteen models to go, so expect to see more posts on these in the future, that's all for this post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
