The Collector's automata from across the Imperium. Their shells are useless once their Abominable Intellences have been cleansed--someone's gotta keep their husks so they don't fall into the wrong hands, might as well be someone who appreciates them.
Been slowly working on and off with these lot for months now, been in a real slump with my mini work, until some key pieces of inspiration struck which made me instantly want to have them in miniature form--and looking around broken minis and key bits I've been hanging onto for a while, got into the groove from there with others--I'm both happy and displeased with these lot, I think the kitbashing on all of them is excellent, and the painting is actually okay for such a long break, other than the little holo-table bot I do think the rest look a little generic however, tried to spice it up with those circular patterns which is alright I guess.
The (totally not a Tech Heretic) Collector. That little top piece I've had for almost 5 years, been trying to find a use for it forever.
my fucking sick Flamethrower-wielding Ballerina. She has little wheels for feets!!
Then for the rest, I've been wanting to tackle a 40k version of Marathon's S'pht for a while now, last year I made a Compiler and I absolutely loved it, wanted an excuse to have one in an Inquisitor game
And I saw this AMAZING blog, @cardo-de-comer with both 2d and 3d artwork, and such striking colours. I try to make colourful miniatures, but these just looked gorgeous. I knew I was gonna have a little hologram out of that upside Tau drone piece, originally was just gonna be a flat piece of transparent plastic that I'd do a diagram on, but seeing their work I knew I just had to have someone on it.
At such a small scale, those tiny little roughly 1mm dots is the best I can do to attempt at recreating that amazing texturing work.
For the bot that was shown off last on my blog, I was playing this amazing demo for an indie game called Hypogea, the robot in that was super distinctive to me, and I knew I had to recreate it.
Certainly my biggest post on here, and despite the complexity of these minis they were actually made pretty quick, just not been feeling that great, and took FOREVER to paint. I've got some more Frostgrave Wizard ideas, and I recently got myself the new ODST minis that came out, got some fun sculpting ideas for them. Hope to get back into the flow of things.
