Necrotyrant

 

Noticed casting just 1 body and 1 weapon is nuts due to the tiny amount of resin needed for that so decided to quick try doing something else.

There's oficial rules for the necrotyrant both in ultimate warzone  and the collectible miniatures game but neither art nor proper models were released ever. 

Necrotyrants are supposed to be necromutant failures: they retain little to no memory of their former selves and feel no pain due half assed nerve connections so they show a huge disregard for their own (and mates') survivability.

I think I'll give him a blade arm, like in the movie, just trousers and 1 classic dark legion shoulderpad, plus the mandatory belzerach and that's it.

Molds have been a failure (1st try) almost destroying masters but gave a 2nd try using years old silicone leftover I had around and looks like it worked.

Vacuum pot will be on my way maybe next week. Lots of money investment for non comercial non profit stuff but castings with bubbles are a no-no.

Me he dado cuenta que mezclar resina para piezas tan pequeñas es chungo, así que decidí hacer alguna figura más para poder manejar cantidades cómodamente.

Es un Necrotyrant a medias. Jamás hubo mini oficial; se supone que son necromutantes fallidos que no retienen memoria, tienen poca inteligencia y no conservan sensibilidad. Esta mezcla hace que sientan poco aprecio por su propia seguridad y la de sus compas (si no duele...)

Creo que lo haré estilo película,  con un brazo cuchilla.

Moldes hasta ahora mal, pero en un segundo intento con restos de otra silicona diferente (con años a sus espaldas, no debería haber funcionado) parece que bien.

Compraré una cámara de vacío,  pésima decisión puesto que no voy a sacar pasta de esto, así que no amortizar nada (podría ir modelando y pintando y no hacer copias de las figuras) pero bueno. La burra grande ande o no ande.

Belzerach | Necromutant

Since 90s I collected everything Mutant Chronicles but minis (maybe a couple for warhammer proxies) and never had a chance to play warzone but always had in mind to make my own minis and give it a try.

Recently I bought the deceased game Mutant  Chronicles the collectible minis game for 5 creds.

It came with 6 miniatures but I couldn't care less. The selling point for me was a simple grid game system with custom dice and maybe the best army building I've ever seen: You set a point budget (3 in skirmish games) so you can buy that many things on each category bronze, silver gold. Oh. And I came with all minis stats cards so I could make my own.

I started with most iconic stuff on that universe, that are necromutants (followed by razides and nephrarites I guess) and their trademark Belzerach gun. It's WIP RN I may cast weapon and body as they are and sculptur different arms and heads for each rank.

Lots of work (sculpting each from scratch would take me less time, effort and provide more fun) for something that won't go elsewhere but from manhole to living room but I'm doing because potatoes.

I bet Demimorgana will like this one.

Catch you later.

Siempre fui muy fan del universo Mutant Chronicles,  llegando a tener el juego de rol, warzone y sus suplementos, revistas... en los 90s me ponía palote pero solo jugaba a warhammer. 

Hace poco vi de saldo el juego de minis coleccionable por 5 rukkles y dije "a cagar, incluye los perfiles, me haré las minis".

El sistema de juego es ligerito. Esto que ves es el irónico rifle belzerach y el torso de un necromutante.

A ver cuanto tardo en perder interés...

The Green Stuff

 I'm basically posting to let everyone who might care know we are still alive. Some jobs changed,  some jobs went away some good stuff happened  but for the most part it was all regular s**t.

ATM I feel short on willpower to hobby anymore not to say the social media part of it, being the writing, the pic shooting, cropping etc.

Let'smake it clear, this green stuff we decided to take care of is a time sucking machine, keen on biting and screaming. Lost all my energy getting old, I hope he turns all gray or something quieter.

I'll call it a day when it learns not to stand on my ankle and bite my brushes.

Thanks. 

Horizon Wars part 2 (waifu edition ' )

 

This is my wife's attempt at mini sculpting. 6mm (10mm grid for scale) FarmHammer 🐤 Eggsdar faction, the op force for my Space Porks.

2 heavy tanks, a combat walker, regular infantry and a heavy infantry chi-ken. WIP status, needs weaponization. Hope you like her stuff, she insists adding that it's 'her first time' whatever it means.

Nail or Fail?

Las minis de 6mm (retícula de 10mm para escala) que ha hecho mi mujer para FarmHammer 🐤 los Eggsdar, antagonistas de mis pancetas espaciales.

2 tanques pesados, un bípode de combate, infantería ligera y un power armour chi-ken. Todo a medias, claro, faltan detalles como armarlos, Cañonizar tanques etc.

Insiste en que es 'su primera vez'. Que, son una castaña o están pepinos?

Horizon Wars X laZyMinis

 

Hi! Recently got Osprey publishing's HORIZON WARS rulebook (OOP AFAIK).

6mm combined arms sci-fi wargame set of rules with optional setting. I decided it will be the bacon and eggs conflict so started to sculpt 6mm piggy troopers (space porcs), tanks and mechs while wife will be doing the chicken empire or whatever it will be called.

For scale, each square is 10mm.

Hope that WIP means anything to you. Meanwhile, stay safe.

Hace poco trinqué HORIZON WARS de Osprey (descatalogado).

Un libro de reglas para combates a escala 6mm con transfondo abierto. Decidí ambietnarlo en la masacre de los huevos con bacon. Me puse a modelar porcos espaciales, mechas y tanques mientras mi mujer se puso con el imperio de los pollos.

La cuadrícula es de 10mm para que te hagas una idea de la escala.

Mejor algo a medias que nada, supongo. Salud!

Diary of a mech man pt 6 (the more you ignore me, the closer I get)

I'm neglecting that dude lately as my situation is weird right now. Family, work...

Measured stuff, cut the pieces that would end being shoulder pads, glued, drilled, stuck old cheap ass robot toy arms, cut the pincers and pinned / glued in position I was happy with.

Close to completion, have to cast small bits like rivets, sculpt power tubes, plating and such. Detailing at this point can be either a chore as I really wanna finish or fun distressed activity. We'll see.

Estoy dejando esto un poco de lado: gandulería, la vida que nos está tocando, el calor...

Medir, cortar, pegar, taladrar, enchufar los brazos de un juguete chungo, cortar, reposicionar.

Le queda poquito, a ver si me rallo con los detalles (poner tornillos, cables...) por ansia pura, o me lo paso como un enano. Veremos.

Diary of a mech man pt 5 (the belly or the beast)

The most useless part of the project so far, yet the most fun. I made some background texture for the cockpit. It will be 99% covered by the pilot so... I guess that was a little scape canvas to rest my mind over. Also built a small device to hang somewhere so everything isn't just on a table.

Glam shot before I cram it all inside the mech and thus, fall lost forever outside human sight.

La parte más inútil del proyecto a día de hoy, y la más divertida. Textura de fondo para la cabina que será cubierta por el piloto en un 99%... Supongo que ha sido un pequeño lienzo donde desestresar la mente. Un aparatillo de regalo para colgar por ahí y que no esté todo sobre la mesa.

Ala, foto de glamour antes de embutir todo en el mech y que sea inhumanamente posible verlo.
