'Mech down
« on: 07 September 2016, 00:49:27 »
OK what to due with minis that are a mess  ::)

these are figs that just could not make. they were re-casts (one good use for these things  >:D), missing parts (things from trades) or got packed wrong.

these are the first batch I'm working some clan units

Nice job.

I think they would look even better mounted on bases as kill markers.

Very nice stuff!

That said, please bear in mind that posting pictures of recasts on this forum is VERY not allowed, no matter what condition they're in. [copper]

Yes I do know and these are not. I have a bunch of BD Stingers and Firebees that have been setup as wrecks. These are some that were ones that were missing parts or mods that did not work out.

Looking forward to seeing these in future games. Just not the Locust; It would be a bad omen. :(

I was thinking of doing that but with the different terrains I use I went with the loose parts. I can also use the loose bits as salvage markers also. Get a bit more bang for the buck  O0

I'd blacken these in places to represent energy-related damage.

I'd send it to me so I could graft on some MW:DA legs - probably Locust ones - and get that bad boy back into the Touman!

(of course, you then run the risk of it 'disappearing in transit' when I shipped it back to you ...  ::) )

* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky

a couple more pics  ::)

the Mad Dog was mission a leg and the paint was beat up so poor Wolf down.
the Marauder has a light black wash over the energy hits.
the Ares tanks had 3 of one side tracks so they are now broke  :P
