He had a krootrifle and was surprised when it was not a kroot but a guardsman. That gave me the idea...I love skaven models (Yay Isle of Blood), hate tau models...eureka!<br />
<br />
However, where I live - near Little Rock (thats in Arkansas for the geographically challenged), both 40k and Fantasy are going rather strong. Especially after the release of 8th ed. Which I have yet to play but will. <br />
<br />
So the challenge in this project is two fold.<br />
1) Convert Skaven in to Tau, Kroot and Vespids. <br />
2) Be able to use the models both for 40k and Fantasy.<br />
<br />
Somethings of note:<br />
1) When I make armies, I go for fluff and cool models first.<br />
2) When I do this, no matter how bad it sounds, it almost always (90%) works beyond all expectations.<br />
3) I am not that great of a painter. I have been in the hobby since 1994 but didnt seriously start painting til about 18 months ago and then only on and off.<br />
<br />
So following those I planned out lots of different combinations and took a couple months just to plan out what I wanted. Then I found a lil online store called Micro Art Studio. They produced Nezumi heads. That have an asian theme. That are cool asian themed. And I must have them.<br />
<br />
So I ordered th ashigaru hats. Looked through ebay for all sorts of bitz that I could not find from the Warstore. 13 days after I ordered, the heads came. No joke...how appropriate is that? Surely the Great Horned Rat was smiling on me. <br />
<br />
And he was - a day later, MAS (Micro Art Studio) released the Nezumi Samurai heads. These were cool. These were awesomely cool. And I must have them. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, problems did occur. Did you know Skaven models and Tau models are not as easily compatible as say Humans and Elves? I know, shocker. I should have guessed. I didn't and lots of extra work ensued. <br />
<br />
After lots of trial and error I was able to come up with some nice looking conversions, if I do not say so myself. I will place some in the next post!Gribardsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02309085961953259601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511324700970007287.post-53159865597730983342010-12-27T20:05:00.000-08:002010-12-27T20:05:35.335-08:00A new journey beginsWell, I am finally getting around to documenting my modeling experiences. THere will be lots of changes. I am just throwing this together right now. I will get some decent backgrounds and such over the next couple of weeks, I hope, as time permits.<br />
<br />
So what will this be all about?<br />
<br />
Well to start with it is documenting a couple projects I am working on: <br />
1) My Skaven Tau<br />
2) Warmachine<br />
3) Odd and random models I have put together/converted and am painting up.<br />
<br />
This is mostly to keep me motivated, because I have a lil bit of ADD when it comes to modeling.<br />
<br />
A word of warning, I am using my phone's camera. Even though it is nice, they are not the best of pictures, so bear with me.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back for upcoming pictures!Gribardsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02309085961953259601noreply@blogger.com0
