Spawn Team

Here is the whole ensemble. I even tried to get a bit creative with my humble camera phone a few snaps later...

Spawn 6

The tentacle monster approaches!

Thanks for reading!

Spawn 5

The second spawn to use some flamer bits. I quite like the way his head worked out, but unfortunately I think I had ran out of ideas with his legs. Really dislike.

Thanks for reading!

Spawn 4

I think this is my favourite spawn. I kind just went for it on this guy and made a scorpion type thing. I really like it!

Thanks for reading!

Spawn 3

The title says it all really. Spawn number 3 is ready to go an leg around like a loon. I feel as though the whole red eye thing works really well here

Thanks for reading!

Spawn 2

Here is spawn number 2. Turns out I didn't take too many photos of this guy on his tod. I quite like the way the little space marine head is refusing to be overtaken by the techno virus.

Spawn 1

Finished up the first of the chaos spawn. Here is the hug monster!

Not entirely sure that I like how his teeth have turned out. It'll do!

Hobby Doldrums

An alternative title may have been 'On Ambition Overtakes Skill'.

Not sure when this'll actually go up, but I'm writing it in early May, and I am stuck, and I have been stuck for what feels like a couple of weeks. Summer is haltingly beginning and so hobby time is drying up slightly, but that doesn't really help with the fact that I have really struggled to make any tangible progress over recent weeks. Very frustrating.

Progress with what you say? Well, remember my spawn from last April (what do you mean you don't? Go here)? I decided it was time to sort out my Iron Warriors, and that their supposed mix of demon flesh and armour would be a good start point for me to experiment with before cracking on with the rest of the army. 

My plan was for a mottled purple flesh that would work nicely next to the dirty silver of their armour. I tried and failed. Then I thought that a blue may work. I don't think that it does.

So I tried several different things, and went back to black undercoat a few times too.

Here are my failures...

Still quite like the purple to blue gradient on the tentacle up there. That might stay.

Spawn done!!!

The spawn are now built and greenstuffed through and through...

Spawn Progress

Made some progress on the spawn. Legs and heads pretty much done...

Spawn

Decided to build some chaos spawn...

Havocs

Finished up the heavy weapon dudes for my Iron Warriors...
