Col.Gravis' Hobby Thread

[Col.Gravis]

It's a nice idea, an not one that crossed my mind so kudos! My only worry would be I'd be creating a bigger limit on poses for the Ogryns, having a weapon in this style (I kinda figured on it being Thompson SMG like) lends well too some two handed poses for variety in the unit while a pistol type weapon lends more too one hand or the other, leveled or low leaving four poses only essentially.

I'll run it by the client though, nice one, thankyou!

Hi Gravis, great to see you're still labouring away on all that Praetorian goodness! Can't wait to see how these will turn out and you knows, this may be the beginning of a whole range of commissions

Gravis - what ever happened to thoes rough riders you were working on?

[Col.Gravis]

Hephesto, thankyou, I am seriosuly considering I might look at that yes

Tallarn, I parted company with the project, however the bits which were finished are available from TrooperPX through Bartertown [URL="http://www.bartertown.com/trading/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=87669"]HERE[/URL].



Time got the better of me, and I lost heart with the project realising I could do better, one day I'll get a revised version done with better posing options and all the parts something based around my Colonel Ackland conversion, the character who by name appears in BoLS Macharian Crusade pack.

Another quick update, some of my own stuff this time as I've just finished the conversions on some new Sergeants to replace my Lasgun armed one's for the newest codex - yeah I know it's been out a while now but I'm a slow hobbyist at the best of times and I don't have half as much time as I'd like for working on them.

I've done 6 for the time being, for each squad of my two up till now finished Platoons, the other platoons will have to wait until I've got my GT army ready.



And then these are my favourite three, they're all fairly simple conversions, some more so then others, but I'd sooner these then just using the stock sergeant models as are - they're my Junior Officers.

This one is based on the Bugler model.



This one the stock Sergeant model with Chainsword, the simplist of the lot.



And finally this one, probably one the most extensive of these models based on a Lasgun armed model (normally held across the body in the left arm).

Thanks a lot I didn´t imagine that it was a miniature of Gaunt!

Very WIP progress, but I'm making a start on a Nurgle CSM army, first unit has got to be Plague Marines.





And an earlier, but slightly better close up of one.
