About the Project

Woke up this morning and decided I'm gonna kick the hobby butterfly in the nuts and complete a project for dungeonalia today. Looked up at the pile of potential and decided that the futuristic dungeon crawler space hulk needed some tlc. I got the Box of the shelf blew of the dust then realised most of the models had been used on other projects, never fear the bits box was to the rescue so I cobbled together the bits I needed to make the set complete by this evening.

This Project is Completed

Hunted out the models that I needed from various boxes of toot.

Rebased the little dudes onto original sized bases so they fit on the board squares.

Thought it would be cool idea to convert the captain so he has a power sword.Thought it would be cool idea to convert the captain so he has a power sword.

Cut off his powerfist with snippers leaving a big gouge in his leg.

Never fear as purity seals quick and easily cover a huge amount of sins.

Bam ? Made the purity seal from two slithers of card and a blob of green stuff.

Found some metal terminator bits whilst looking for a power sword so that's the 2nd captain sorted.Found some metal terminator bits whilst looking for a power sword so that's the 2nd captain sorted.

For the bases I went with good old sand I know bits of metal and mesh would make more sense but with my self imposed time limit I'm going with space rocksFor the bases I went with good old sand I know bits of metal and mesh would make more sense but with my self imposed time limit I'm going with space rocks

Howling griffons are my chapter of choice so went with Averland sunset and mephiston redHowling griffons are my chapter of choice so went with Averland sunset and mephiston red

Was going to use the v2 speed paints but did not have the colours I needed so went with good old gw base paints as they will give a great coverage that should only need one coat and will also act as the base coat saving some time.

2.15 everyone is now based red and blue
