15mm 40k project, Tau infantry done

[danldunbar]

Hi guys
Here is my WIP HQ squad, the 2 blue figures are conversions of some spare AB French Napoleonic officer figures, the helmet on the troopers will be the standard helmets for the regular troops, I was going to have the troops in picklehelms, and bought a heap of Peter Pig heads for the conversions, only to find they were way to small, so I will convert the blue moon WWI German heads, it fits with DKoK better anyway, the officers head is an old glory French cavalry head, I will hand paint the standard, all comments welcome, more pics on my blog.

Hi guys

Painted the regimental flag for the 103rd kampfgruppe, named after my old unit, will start painting the command squad tomorrow hopefully, I have also been working on 3 Lamen Russ, need to pick up another turret, 1 will be a Vanquisher, 1 a punisher, and a standard Lamen Russ battle tank.

Wow, 6 straight posts with no replies.

Command squad finished, it's pretty dark here due to being overcast, so had to use a flash and the colours are a little washed out, pretty happy with how these guys turned out, I stuffed up the gluing of the flag and it is a little off centre, couldn't fix it, so it will have to do, have added a size comparison shot with the LRs for those who wanted one, all comments welcome, more pics on my blog.

Hi guys

My order of Wusuq and Star vikings from 15mm UK have arrived, they will become (along with some other figs) Death Guard plague marines, being Chaos Space Marines I want them to be a similar size as my Blood Angels, so I will need to stretch the body of most of them, then I will go to town with the GS, these figures will look very different then they do now, below are some shots of some of the figures before and after stretching, I get a good 3-4 mm extra hight after stretching, but it's a bit time consuming, looking forward to detailing these.
The heads Of the Wusuq will make great helmet less plague marines, they will also get a lot of bulking out with GS, i also received some of their scifi beastmen, these will be used in the traitor legion ranks, stay tuned, all comments welcome.

An update on theWIP 15mm Death Guard, working on the first 10, the conversion part is about 80% done, a bit hard to see all the detail in the pics, looking forward to painting these guys, are they Nurgley enough? Have added before and after conversion pics, more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Unfortunately like all boards and threads, there are some instances when a thread goes on without any replies. Everyone gets it now and then.

However, these are looking superb! They're really coming along and those blue Krieg are fantastic! I see the 3 Leman Russ', will you be doing more Artillery? Basilisks etc.

[danldunbar]

Hi Cosmic, yes will be doing a lot of other armour, self propelled arty, assault guns, APCs, etc.

Hi guys
These plague marines are ready for paint, here are some better photos, I like how they turned out, primary colour will be rotten flesh green, and catachen green detailsthe same as my 28mm Death Guard, I will do more mutations and some head swaps with the next 10 marines, more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys
What do you think, leave them dark green, with a couple of shades of highlights and paint details, or go the 2tone green the same as my 28mm DG?

Dan! Looking good mate. Good to see you're keeping the 15mm world as interesting as ever

-Steve

[danldunbar]

Hey Steve, long time, how are you? You've moved more into 28mm? Any plans for further 15mm stuff?

Not unitl Pedro Navaro agrees to make more Harook

[danldunbar]

Yeah, Harook are great minis, you have a winner there in my opinion, hope they are doing really well for you.

[danldunbar]

Hi guys
This squad is finished, pretty happy with them, the next 10 will have more mutations and head swaps, my favourites are he champion with his tongue out and the plasma gunners, heaps more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys
Some pics of my WIP 15mm Death Korps of Krieg heavy siege assault gun, which barrel do you think I should use? This is the Emhar. 1/72 Mk IV female, its already a little larger in length and width, but not hight, then the Airfix model, I have stretched and widened it, added 4 heavy flames for close support, i also left the side profile lozenge shape alone, as i had re shaped the airfix kits slightly, more pics on my blog, what do you think?

Started a Demon Prince for my 15mm Death Guard army, he is about the size of a regular GW Space Marine, will post a size comparison pic later, he still needs a lot of work, any ideas on details to add? More pics on my blog, All comments welcome.

Hi guys
The first batch of DKoK armour is getting close to the painting stage, I decided to base them, I like making little vignettes, so added some supporting grunts, advancing under cover of the tanks, the last 3pics show the design for my Chimeras, I will build up the hull slightly under the turret so it is horizontal, i have added a mantlet to the assault gun, still debating the colour scheme for these, I'm now thinking blue grey, or field grey, I want a plain single colour because i plan to go the whole hog with weathering, and single colour will bring out the effects, the infantry are yet to be converted, all ideas and comments welcome, more pics on my blog.

[danldunbar]

Hi guys, the base colour done, it's hard to tell in the light, but there is a nice subtle shading on these, the blue grey has come out just the way I wanted, what do you think? These will get the works when it comes to weathering, just need the base to dry. More pics on my blog.

Hi guys

These are only 70% finished, still need to do a lot oil paint and pastel work, but they are starting to come together nicely, I'm really happy with the blue grey colour, I topped it off with a turquoise filter that brought out the blue perfectly, more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Superb!! I'm astonished a the level of detail on such small vehicles, great work.

[danldunbar]

Thanks Cosmic.
