I started painting up a few more units for Historicon this November, they're based up and have their main colors blocked out and washed.
Last weekend five of us got together for a burgeoning fall tradition: SHIT II. My Vidaar took on Jon's Kuld, Eric's Elvorix, Karl's Ki-kat and Chris' Jaarl in a no-holds-barred muppet bash-em-up. We played three scenarios concocted by Karl, our tournament organizer, with ample breaks for a mexican foodtruck lunch and various complaint sessions. A few pics are below, including my recently completed Veteran Styrsik, Nhilde and Steepus.
I think I lost one of the last two weeks, either that or I wasn't very productive. I've been filing and cutting away to convert the last of my Russes. Getting the sponsons off the hull is an utter pain so I think they'll be coming down to the maker space with me to have a meeting with the bandsaw and belt sander.
The Executioner turrets are done, I used an old 40k 2e Chaos Plasma Pistol for the gun. It fits pretty good for the era, I think.
The Conquerors turrets are two bits of plasticard and the Stormbolter taken off of the plastic Colossus Robot from the Imperial Guard sprue. Two of the tanks have the plates I'm using to cover the sponson locations, just more plasticard.
I've been building up some reinforcements for the Imperial Guard Armored Company this past week. I got a bunch of the low hanging fruit (no conversions) as well as a few of the simple conversions built.
The Medusae, Griffons and Hellhounds fell into the simple conversions
category. The Medusa is just an AT Basilisk gun chopped short, the Griffon an SM/TL basilisk gun chopped short, and the Hellhound some plasticard tanks with SM/TL Hellhound turret.
