Commisar for the 3rd Tigers

So I have been painting this weekend - This time it this astonishing miniature from Mega miniatures: Commandant Swag

I really like his commanding positure – Arrogant and wearing a cap that is definitely bigger than everybody else’s. I painted this one in brownish-grey uniform, as he is going to join the Tallarn 3rd Tigers, as part of my  Al'rahem Tallarn project.

Enjoy!

Tallarn Chimeras

I’ve been working on a ride for Big Al (Al'Rahem) and the infantry platoon he will be leading. I wanted them to be mechanized, to benefit from the outflanking that he allows. That called for some Chimeras, and I wanted to change the profile a bit to make them stand out from the Chimeras I have for the Catachan Jungle boys.

SandWyrm have a cool guide for changing the Chimera from a Russian APC style to a Nato APC style by pushing the turret back. Check out the tutorial he made: http://theback40k.blogspot.se/2010/04/converting-set-back-chimeras-part-i.html

Another thing I wanted was ability to change the hull mounted weapon, as Heavy Bolter might not be the best choice for all scenarios. Magnetizing them is however easy, as all it calls for is a bit of plastic card glued on the inside of the hull + some rare earth magnets.

 

Enjoy & have a nice Sunday!

Tallarn Desert Raiders 1st squad

I got my hands on some Tallarn Desert Raiders recently - They have been om my wishlist for years! I wanted two things, one was desert camo uniforms and the other new bases in a desert theme, something that I have never done before.

Desert bases needed some research, as I really wanted something different from the hey-look-i-glued-sand-to-the-base feel that many Warhammer Tomb King armies got. So after researching with doctor Google I came across this tutorial: http://z8.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index.php?showtopic=25298 Avesome work by Garganthor, check it out as it is well worth the time.

The desert camo inspiration came from this one:

 

 









And this is the result - Have a nice weekend!
