The mech bay and lanner look great.

Here are some project updates. We started a Wolf and Blake campaign so I had to get some Black Widow's ready. I was having trouble with my process and a friend gave me some spot on advice. So, I started over on them Friday night, to have them done to use Sunday. I have a bit more to do on them but I got them done enough to dullcoat before use. In that batch I also modded a Gallowglass inspired by ST's gallowglass into the variant used by the Widows.

And yes my photography is lacking. For the time being that is as good as it will get.

In the final version of the Gallowglass I glued the old barrel in the upper right torso as the Er Large.

Which Battlemaster did you use for that? I noticed the one from the intro box was a bit of a different posture from the IWM one that you have in blue. Finally got around to getting the arms to stay on mine and I am looking at the plastic one to be modified into a -1D, cutting off the SRM6 rack for use elsewhere.

Your pictures are better than mine, also put the arms and pauldrons on the Marauder 9M2 so I will put up a picture of it on the old thread. The other will be turned into something more standard, like a -2R.

That's the Battlemaster from the Wolf's dragoons lance box

The Battlemaster is the Calvin II and the Zeus is the Zeus X Stacy from the Wolf and Black Dragoons set. My Uziel and Griffin are not from the set. I was low on time and those were already built. My Battlemaster in the 4th LG colors is a normal pewter sculpt. I have no built my two plastic Battlemasters yet.

It has came to my attention that my Uziel just happens to have the torso from the Wolf and Blake Uziel. That is a happy accident.

I looked at the plastic even though I have not built mine yet either. The arm is straight making it point the weapon whichever way you want. Which is why I was wondering if you had changed the pose a bit.

I found the WoB Celestial set with Berith's Archangel, I am wondering if I should use different configurations than the personal ones.

I did a little bending of the arms on the Battlemaster above. I tend to tweak all the minis a bit during construction.

It is me.

Your Quads have encouraged Dawn . . . she ordered a Barghest, Balius and Fire Falcon to add to the Great Turtle she wants to paint.

Looking pretty fine!

jbressel · « **Reply #41 on:** 15 January 2015, 03:48:00 »

I really wish that there were some nice clan quads...

Wikkid · « **Reply #42 on:** 15 January 2015, 04:18:52 »

The Fire Scorpion looks pretty erm...pretty.

jbressel · « **Reply #43 on:** 15 January 2015, 04:28:31 »

Ew......reminds me of that abortion of a movie, robot wars.

Wikkid · « **Reply #44 on:** 15 January 2015, 04:36:00 »

I haven't seen Robot Wars, so I can't comment.

Put a Fire Scorpion next to a Thunder Stallion, Bilious, and (arguably) the Stalking Spider, then it's a stunner!

Even stands up well to some of the IS quads on looks (although nothing will replace the Unseen Scorpion in my affections).

jbressel · « **Reply #45 on:** 15 January 2015, 04:42:40 »

The old scorpy is nice. I like the xanthos too. BTW, robot wars is the horrible unnoficial sequel to robo jocks. It was horrifyingly bad. The stalking scorpion is weird, the fire scorpion odd. Compared to some other mechs, its nice, bit its what I call "Iraq Pretty". When you're in the desert long enough a 2 becomes a 10. I'm surprised there isn't a nice clan wolf totem mech, or a ghost bear.

Wikkid · « **Reply #46 on:** 15 January 2015, 06:56:01 »

'Iraq Pretty' is still better than a camel!

faithless · « **Reply #47 on:** 15 January 2015, 12:34:48 »

I like the stalking scorpion figure, especially in the heavy large loadout. It is pretty fun to play too. I have another used one to build. I will need to make jump jets for it too. I have a reseen and unseen goliath. Plus when some stuff eventually shows up, a thunder stallion.

jbressel · « **Reply #48 on:** 15 January 2015, 13:49:20 »

Yeah, but only two choices. Other than my little pony......

faithless · « **Reply #49 on:** 15 January 2015, 14:59:31 »

I forgot I have one of those to build. I wanted it cause the butt cannons made me laugh.

And the Snow Fox.

Not horrible, hadn't seen him before, but a bit lackluster.

faithless · « **Reply #52 on:** 16 January 2015, 12:19:11 »

I built and magnetized my first Ares. There are magnets inside the shoulder pads as well for the variants with missiles. I still need to do some greenstuff work around the torso magnets.

I also magnetized my new sculpt Cauldron Bourne, along with a waste mod using the waist of the first sculpt madcat/vulture and some sprue.

jbressel · « **Reply #53 on:** 16 January 2015, 12:41:06 »

I do so love magnets

faithless · « **Reply #54 on:** 16 January 2015, 12:49:20 »

It has became a habit. I got lazy on the templar I built recent and did not magnetize it. I keep thinking about correcting that error. I need to start buying the magnets in bulk. The packages at the shop are expensive for how many I use.

faithless · « **Reply #55 on:** 22 January 2015, 13:58:42 »

Not much to show painting wise but should have some late next week. But I have been building stuff.

Archer 6s and Wolfhound 4wa

Gyrfalcon and Eyrie

Colt Ward · « **Reply #56 on:** 22 January 2015, 14:12:57 »

Is that a Griffin IIC between those two Falcon mechs?

faithless · « **Reply #57 on:** 22 January 2015, 14:14:34 »

Yup forgot to mention it.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #58 on:** 22 January 2015, 14:26:59 »

Lol, did you have that before I brought mine?

faithless · « **Reply #59 on:** 22 January 2015, 14:30:22 »

It has been up on my pegboard since the spring. I got it down at wizards.
