They look awesome, it's going to be great seeing the Dusk Raiders roll into the field in force
My only regret is that I like Cool Toys so much that my 50PL plague marine force doesn't actually have all that many plague marines in. :lol:

Your Stormcast situation reminds me of my Goblin situation. I still find baggies of goblins I never knew I had in corners of my hobby room.

It's hard to tell anyway because the photo is terrible but half these minis had fuzzy primer jobs that I managed to make at least acceptable. I found an internet tip that attacking the fuzz with a toothbrush can get results, and in this case it did. It doesn't fix it per se but clears off enough of the dusty paint clumps and exposes enough good primer underneath to be reasonable for battlefield purposes.

If you have too many goblins, I would be happy to take some off your hands.

I released the first public version of my miniatures game today.
Its on Booth right now but I also put a google drive download link in my post below to save you the trouble of signing up for a PIXIV account.
If you do happen to have a PIXIV account though I would appreciate it if you could download it there.

I ended up releasing version 0.3.0 of Annihilation Zone to the public so if anyone is interested go ahead and check it out. I'll post more about it later but I do also want to see if it's playable with just the rules I've written.

Currently I've written rules for 4 different models from the 30MM line.
The units and their corresponding models are:
Squire - Alto
Siegemaster - Alto(Ground Type)
Drudge - Portanova
Veloprime - Portanova(Space Type)

Great to hear you've reached a milestone with your game Karantu, I look forward to checking it out.

For my part I'm bouncing randomly through the backlog, especially looking for stuff I've primed with sculpted bases (my pots of basing gunk are empty). This Wolf Lord finally got her due while the closing ceremony was on.

Initially I was going to make a Trukk since the huge area at the back and all the seats looks pretty fitting but I ended up going for one of the new buggies instead. Its lacking a few bodies (both Ork and Squig) but I feel like I got the key elements down so I'm going to call it done and move on to my next one. I bought about 4 or so Tamiya kits so I'm hoping to get some more interesting stuff done.
Waaaaagh! This is how it starts ya skrawny yoof! Get a Tamiya kit and start sticking stuff on it!

And speaking of Gorkamorka, finally got pics of the latest Diggachick. A real sculpting challenge. I screwed up her face and I seem to have lost some of my painting mojo compared to some of my earlier ones. Not sure what's up. Just my ever worsening old-man eyes? Still working on the weathering powder effects. If I am a bit more careful next time, I think I can get some real oily/gritty warpaint effects going now that I'm getting a better handle on them. The base is magnetized, so she can be posed on vehicles like below. Image ImageImageImageImage
And I have one more on the bench, but have sort of run out of steam for now. Not sure how I want to do her gear and (lack of ) armor and apparel. Got enough swoosh for ya MIJ?

I'd say the paint job looks great! I love how you do your warpaint.

I finished up a Helbrute for my Dusk Raiders:

Many thanks for MiJ for sourcing the model and the very nice conversion work on it!

@konrad: Digging them digga chicks! Very distinct Australian-outback-after-nuclear-fall out vibe going with the orange desert base.

I hear it's time for a crusade! A champion has been chosen.

In deference to GW's new plastic pirmaris Emperor's champion, which I'm sure I everyone has seen by now, I want to say ...it's pretty good, but I kinda like mine better.
Continuing on my theme of no helmets, I chose a more stoic veteran head rather than a crazy yelling face.
