					<description><![CDATA[<p>Despite this being one of the busiest months I&#8217;ve had in a long while, I have managed to finish the Deff Dread for Dreadtober 2017. Adding another stomping wonder of Ork technology to my Death Skulls army. I won&#8217;t get too much into the RL issues keeping me from painting and posting. But I have struggled to keep up with Dreadtober this year and appreciate Todd for hosting it. For me, painting is a way to relieve stress so I am happy I have been able to get some of that done this month and finish the Deff Dread for my Death Skulls. Ork Deff Dread My other Deff Dread was pure close combat with four arms of bashing goodness. I gave this one a bit more ranges punch with a pair of missiles launchers. There is a certain irony that Orks are the easiest to convert due to their ramshackle nature. But I also feel the least amount of need to do so and the walkers. They already have so much character and fun &#8230;</p>

<p>There is a certain irony that Orks are the easiest to convert due to their ramshackle nature. But I also feel the least amount of need to do so and the walkers. They already have so much character and fun built in.</p>

<p>I was inspired by Greg&#8217;s last set of Orks where he added non-black-and-white checks. On the should I used blue instead for luck.</p>

<p>I took lots of pictures during the paint process so I hope to get another tutorial up for the Deff Dread. I already posted one for the <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/little-stompies-killa-kans/">Killa Kans</a> and <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/deathskull-morkanaut/">Morkanaut</a>. Painting my Orks are pretty straightforward and messy &#8211; perfect for short stints of painting time.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve seen a few pictures of Zone Mortalis games, and it looks like a blast to play. The very pricy table didn&#8217;t stop James from <a href="http://fourdadsoftheapocalypse.blogspot.com/2017/09/building-zone-mortalis-board-from.html">creating his own tiles</a>. Here he shares the supplies and steps he is using to build up his table for this high octane game.</p>

<p>Ok, so maybe his <a href="http://www.thebrushwizard.com/2017/09/tech-priest-dominus-conversion.html">Tech Priest Dominus</a> is well worth checking out too. This is an excellent conversion full of its own character and story. It&#8217;s been especially fun watching Scott build and paint this over the last few weeks on Twitter.</p>

<p>Ok, so many have been overwhelmed by that amount of Nurgle worshipers that have blessed us lately, but I liked Larg&#8217;s<a href="http://leskouzes.blogspot.com/2017/09/pandemonium-genesis-foetid-bloat-drone.html"> Blight Drone</a>. Not only are the colors and paint job crisp and colorful, but I like his slight conversions to the drone. The removal of the top prop alone changes the look dramatically.</p>

<p>The Hobbyist Girl needed to make a gift for a fan of Deadpool. She also wanted to paint chibi. So she <a href="https://hobbyistgirlblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/02/chibi-deadpool/">sculpted a Chibi version of Deadpool</a> and shows us all the behind the scenes steps. What I liked about this project is that it shows you don&#8217;t need to sculpt super intricate details on everything, especially if you want to learn to sculpt.</p>

<p>While some of the INQ28 stuff is a bit out there for me, I liked <a href="https://bigbossredskullz.com/2017/10/03/sideshow-extravaganza-11/">this chariot queen </a>by Big Boss Redskullz. There is a certain amount of impracticality, darkness, and oddness that meld well together. A great paint job helps complete the story.</p>

<p>The idea of a cavalry army is the far future has always struck me as odd and awesome. But to see Gothmog build a full <a href="http://sepulchreofheroes.blogspot.com/2017/09/fear-cavalry-my-converted-all-death.html">Death Corp Mounted Company </a>is amazing. It&#8217;s also fun to hear that the weakness of the army was the two tanks he took to fill in some heavy firepower. Clearly, needs more horses.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Quick tutorial post on how I added magnets to the Ork Big Mek in Mega Armor. While I don&#8217;t generally add magnets to my minis, this guy seems like a good candidateÂ to work on. This Big Mek is from the Meganobz box where you can build one of the Nobz into a Big Mek. The arm weapons don&#8217;t have options, so it is the backpack mount that I magnetized. This way I can either arm him with the Kustom Tellyporta Gun (which sounds fun) or provide a defense with the Kustom Force Field (probably more helpful). Drilling the Holes Once the main body and legs were built up, I left the top armor plate off. This is meant to be the weapon&#8217;s platform but works perfectly for adding the magnets. I set the piece in place and used a small drill bit to drill through it and the top of the body. To prevent the magnet from moving, I didn&#8217;t use a larger bit as the top plate so it would hold the magnet in &#8230;</p>

<p>This Big Mek is from the Meganobz box where you can build one of the Nobz into a Big Mek. The arm weapons don&#8217;t have options, so it is the backpack mount that I magnetized. This way I can either arm him with the Kustom Tellyporta Gun (which sounds fun) or provide a defense with the Kustom Force Field (probably more helpful).</p>
<h2>Drilling the Holes</h2>
<p>Once the main body and legs were built up, I left the top armor plate off. This is meant to be the weapon&#8217;s platform but works perfectly for adding the magnets. I set the piece in place and used a small drill bit to drill through it and the top of the body.</p>
<p>To prevent the magnet from moving, I didn&#8217;t use a larger bit as the top plate so it would hold the magnet in place.</p>

<p>I then swapped the top plate to the weapon sides. Both bits have a given location it aligns with the bit. Once I got it in place, I used the pilot hole to drill into the weapons.</p>

<p>Now I knew exactly where the magnets all needed to go to line them up.</p>
<h2>Adding the Magnets</h2>
<p>To get the magnet in the main body, I used the 1/8&#8243; bit which is the same size as the magnets I&#8217;m using. Centering on the pilot hole, I drilled into the body and cleaned it up.</p>
<p>I then used super glue to attach the magnet to the top plate. A dab of plastic glue and I attached the top plate, holding the magnet, into place.</p>

<p>The same was done for both weapon options. To get the magnets to align properly, I placed a piece of paper on top of the body and set a magnet onto it. I then put a dot of super glue onto the magnet and placed the weapon in place.</p>
<p>I could then use the paper to lift the weapon and magnet and let the glue dry. While a small amount of paper attached itself to the magnet, I later cleaned it all up and covered the hold with Liquid Green Stuff. This provided additional support for the magnet so it wouldn&#8217;t pop out later.</p>

<h2>The Results</h2>
<p>As you can see, both weapon options fit neatly into place allowing for flexibility and fun. This was a fun little magnet experiment and took hardly any extra effort.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Do you do many magnet conversions to allow weapon swaps?</p>

As this is the third annual Dreadtober event, many of you have either participated or at least witnessed the challenge before. Last year I hosted almost 100 hobbyists around the world to build, paint, and photograph a dreadnought type miniature. Over 50 finished their projectsÂ and tons more cheered them on. Where to Get Involved for 2017 This year Todd (SincaiN40K) is in charge of the event and decided to create a whole new website over on Blogspot to run it. Heading over to dreadtober.blogspot.com is where you can find out how to get involved and check out the latest updates. He has even set up an email address for the project to make it easier to keep track of going forward. So if you are excited to get a dreadnought-ish miniature built in October, sign up! As for me, I am transitioning jobs at the moment and starting a role and &#8230;</p>

<p>He has even set up an email address for the project to make it easier to keep track of going forward. So if you are excited to get a dreadnought-ish miniature built in October, sign up!</p>
<p>As for me, I am transitioning jobs at the moment and starting a role and a new company. So October is going to be even busier than the last few months have been. I still have a Deffdread that is built and primed, so if I can sneak in some extra time I plan to get it painted up.</p>
<h2>Book Sale Bonus</h2>
<p>While I am not running the event this year, I will still be reposting some of the helpful posts I wrote up last year on building, painting, and photography.</p>

This book is all about building miniatures, including converting and tips on sculpting.</p>
<p>From September 29th through October 1st, you can grab a <a href="http://amzn.to/2xIablb">free copy on Amazon</a>Â (I hope it works for all countries!). The only thing I ask is you read it, put it to use for your Dreadtober entry, and give it a review on Amazon.<br style="clear:both" /></p>
<h2>Let&#8217;s Get Started!</h2>
<p>So head on over to <a href="http://dreadtober.blogspot.com">dreadtober.blogspot.com</a> and sign up, and this weekend make sure to grab a copy of the book. I will be jumping where I can and resharing as many posts on the social networks as I am able to keep up with.</p>
<p>This is DREADTOBER!</p>

<p>While one of the things I have promised myself to work on is to finish a bunch of my half-finished projects before starting anything new, I have failed at that big time this week.</p>
<p>I have found with myself that sometimes I just don&#8217;t feel like painting. Just the idea of it overwhelms me with &#8216;meh.&#8217; Odd considering that this is my hobby and one of my biggest stress reliefs.</p>
<p>Instead, I find the desired to build models to be where I get pulled. So that is where I have been since I finished the Megaboss.</p>
<h2>Mentor Legion Terminators</h2>
<p>It started with moving my workspace inside. My gracious wife recommended we move the boys into the same room and use the smaller bedroom as my new office. And in this new office, I could finally setup the bookcases with glass doors to use as a display case.</p>
<p>While digging out my Mentor Legion, I found a few Terminators I had started re-posing a few years ago. Along with them were the Dark Angles from the Dark Vengence set. I knew IÂ had more terminators in my bits box of shame that I should build up.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="22802" data-permalink="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/work-in-progress-wednesday-9-13-17/building-terminators/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?fit=2048%2C1227&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="2048,1227" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-G85&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1504677957&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;13&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="building-terminators" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?fit=840%2C504&amp;ssl=1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-22802" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?resize=550%2C330&#038;ssl=1" alt="Mentor Legion Terminators Build WIP" width="550" height="330" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?resize=550%2C330&amp;ssl=1 550w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?resize=768%2C460&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?resize=1024%2C614&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/building-terminators.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></a></p>
<p>Well, it turns out I had thirty of these terminators along with the Blood Angel&#8217;s Capitan in Terminator armor. Each had come from various box sets over the years. Assualt on Black Reach, Dark Vengence, the Space Wolf vs Orks campaign, and the Space Marine big box.</p>
<p>Now I love the idea of the terminators, but the basic guy is so bland and blocky. Especially compared against the DV set or Space Hulk minis. But with some simple adjustments to the pose, you can make a big difference in their look.</p>

<p>Armed with a pin vice, 1/16&#8243; brass rod, and needle nosed pliers, I adjusted the angle of arms, hands, and even one of their legs. These were later filled in with putty and attempted to sculpt ribbing. Small adjustments to the arms changed the feeling and movement of the mini. From opening up the pose to making it look mid swing.</p>

<p>Many of the chapter specific icons I was able to scrape off. But I also left many of the general wolf, wings, and sword motifs and plan to work them into the warrior&#8217;s heraldry. Figured that I could use some of the old fluff for the Mentors where they would train with other legions.</p>

<p>Since I am not a gamer anymore, I have no clue as to the effectiveness of any of the weapon options. So instead, I went with the rule of cool and mixed it up.</p>

<p>And four squads of ranged Terminators, two with assault cannons, one missileÂ launcher, and the last with a heavy flamer. Each squad has a couple of chain fists to make sure they can break open all those tanks.</p>

<p>The Capitan was only slightly modified from the original miniature. Notably, the bare face was replaced with a helmet (actually only one bare head made it into theÂ build). Some of the Blood Angel icons were removed and some replaced with other icons where needed.</p>
<h2>Ork Mek in Mega-armor</h2>
<p>Another box in the backlog was Meganobz kit &#8211; also from the Space Wolf campaign box. My grown hoard of walkers needs some Meks to hammer things into place, so I busted out the Mek from the kit.</p>

<p>While I figure the shield generator would be more useful in the game, the teleporter weapon looks awesome. So I busted out my much-neglected magnets and actually put them to work. With a magnet sitting under the top armor of the Mek and matching magnets in each of the options, I can easily swap back and forth.</p>

<p>I also had the normal Mek sitting in the box so I quickly put him together. I think from the random bits between the two, I should be able to create a third &#8211; Deathskulls have a lot of scraps after all.</p>
<h2>Painting the Buildings</h2>
<p>The one thing I have been putting paint to this last little bit is one of the big buildings I built for my table. As these things are huge, it has mostly been dry brushing with the biggest brush I have.</p>

<p>I want the buildings to be neutral shades of color. Enough color to be interesting, but not stand out. They are also so large that my normal bottles of Vallejo paint would not do. It would a few bottles per building!</p>

<p>So instead, I am using standard acrylic tubes from the craft store. Not the stuff made for kids (it doesn&#8217;t stick well) but from the &#8216;fine art&#8217; department. They are super high pigment and thick, so would be difficult to use for normal miniatures, but for dry brushing buildings, they work great.</p>
<p>I will write a post with more details about the paint job once I finish, but I am happy with how it is turning out.</p>
<h2>The Backlog</h2>
<p>As part of this office cleanup, I have also started going back through the back log of other projects in the bits bin. I plan to update my old Trello board and do some triage on all the old projects.</p>
<p>I spent a good deal of time going through my big bits box of unbuilt models and started clipping parts into baggies. I plan to build up a few more random models and get everything primed. Found a Rhino I plan to turn into a Razorback, a drop pod, Ork Boyz and Nobz, and the rest of the Dark Vengence kit I never built.</p>
<p>With the sunny summer starting to come to an end, I will have plenty built and primed for the next 8 months of rain.</p>

<h2>Ork Warboss</h2>
<p>When the Orruk Megaboss was released, I knew I needed to convert one for my Ork Warband. Just over a year back, I <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/orruk-megaboss-unboxing/">posted my unboxing</a> thoughts and ideas for the conversion. The work continued off and on for the last year in bursts.</p>
<p>But here he is at last, my Orruk Megaboss conversion into an Ork Warboss.</p>

<p>The Tyranid skull was also a later addition that I had planned on doing once I glued the front bit into place. I had left it off to paint his face. After a bit of green stuff to fill the gaps, I added more putty to create the carapace ridges.</p>
<p>I used a Tyranid Warrior&#8217;s head as a reference and painted it to match my Behemoth army.</p>

<p>I feel like his skin is one of my best efforts to date. I spent a lot of time highlighting the green skin and adding red, brown and yellow glazes. I also wanted the texture to be softer on his skin so I used more blending and glazes as compared to the sharp highlights on the armor.</p>

<p>The weapons were fairly straight forward conversions as the hands were already separate bits on the Megaboss. Because they aren&#8217;t the main focus of the mini, I didn&#8217;t want to make them too snazzy (leave that to those Bad Moons). So the majority is rusted metal with small panels of colors.</p>

<p>The buzzsaw was painted a bit brighter metal since it would be more active in the choppy action. I debated on adding blood splatter but decided against it for the time being as I figured it wouldn&#8217;t add much and distract from the other colors.</p>

<p>The Orruk Megaboss kit is an impressive feat of engineering and an abstract puzzle to put together. It took a lot of fiddling to get the different chest pieces to fit into place. I used sticky tack to piece together some ideas.</p>
<p>As you can see, some stayed, others removed. While the demon head is kind of cool, it looked out of place. So an Ork glyph was swapped in. The boss pole also didn&#8217;t make the cut. I&#8217;ve seen some with awesome back banners, but I thought it took away from his bulky frame.</p>
<p>The new additions to his face were bits removed from the custom combi-shotta, in turn from the Deff Dread kit. I also rotated the buzz saw as now emphasized his posture of shouting down his enemy.</p>

<p>When painting, I left the front piece of armor off. It would only leave a glue seam along the two shoulder pads. Unfortunate locations, but it could have been worse. By keeping it off, I was able to finish the face and arms without all the extra armor plates being in the way.</p>
<p>It was nerve wracking gluing the pieces back together and sculpting the new details. I kept thinking I was going to scratch the face or stick a big glob of putty into his mouth.<a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="22545" data-permalink="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/warboss-orruk-megaboss-conversion/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?fit=1526%2C1104&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="1526,1104" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nexus 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1501764864&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.82&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;211&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01083&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?fit=840%2C608&amp;ssl=1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-22545" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?resize=550%2C398&#038;ssl=1" alt="Sculpting tyranid skull onto megaboss" width="550" height="398" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?resize=550%2C398&amp;ssl=1 550w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?resize=768%2C556&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?resize=1024%2C741&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ork-megaboss-tyranid-skull-wip-broken-paintbrush.jpg?w=1526&amp;ssl=1 1526w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></a></p>
<p>I used Milliput black as I had that available, but in hindsight, Green Stuff, or at least something not black, would have made it much easier. The black is hard to see while working with it.</p>

<p>As I mentioned up top, I had originally planted him on a simple resin base. But after all the effort to paint this guy, I knew he needed something more. The struggle was to provide the angle to match his stance. The original model has a chunk of rock under his left foot that I had removed.</p>
<p>So combining my tips from <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/build-custom-base/">creating custom bases</a>, and some new learnings from Andy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/creating-scenic-terrain/">scenic base tutorial</a>, I got to work on this ruined walkway. I hacked apart some flooring pieces to fit the round base and propped them up with some cork. A couple of ruined tubes, obligatory skulls, and putty to fill in the gaps.</p>

Yes, those soft, chubby toy dinos we all played with as kids. With some added layers of paint, and vibrant color choices, they look like display models instead.</p>

<h2>Why Dice Bags?</h2>
<p>For many tabletop games, dice are used to test skills and perform heroism. Bigger games require more dice. Sometimes whole piles of dice.</p>
<p><strong>Looking at you orks and all your dakka</strong></p>
<p>Forever I have been using resealable plastic bags to hold my dice between games. Functional, cheap and easy. But they rip or disappear in the fog of war (more likely blown away and picked up as trash).</p>
<h2>Greyed Out Dice Bags</h2>
<p>Thanks to the power and reach of Twitter, I have seen Mike&#8217;s dice bags pop up now and again. But it wasn&#8217;t until we started interacting as part of the Rainbow Warriors Project that I paid too much attention.</p>
<p>Not only did Mike break out an awesome looking bag for the project, but offered to customize a bag for each of us. I took him up on his offer for a bag for my Mentor Legion.</p>
<p>We discusses a few colors and details, and about a week later he sends me a picture!</p>

<p>In terms of quality, these bags are well made. The cotton is a thicker weight, almost a canvas and the stitching is tight and neat. And with the double layers (green and white in this case) these bags feel like they will hold up to abuse of gaming.</p>

<p>Last weekend I actually got a quick game in with my wife as I was teaching her the 8th edition rules (thanks to being only a few pages now!). So I found as many of my old dice that I could and dumped them in.</p>
<p>Ignoring the scatter and artillery dice, I probably had about 40ish dice in there and it was mostly empty. These things could easily hold hundreds of the smaller dice to make even the biggest Gitz happy with the dakka they could through.</p>
<p>The flat bottom and stiff sides made it super easy to through dice into the bag or grab more out when needed. It means that there shouldn&#8217;t be random dice spread across the gaming table or spilling out when bumped.</p>

<p>One of the cool parts of having the custom bag is having it as part of the army. As you can see, Mike did an awesome job of matching the colors and logo of the army. It&#8217;s a little thing, and I could have easily picked a more generic style, but the it feels awesome to plunk this down next to my Mentors.</p>
<p>In terms of price, it looks like most of the bags run between $20 and $30. So way less than a new character model. He does have a couple of leather bags shaped like D20 at the $50-$60 make, but look awesome. You can see a <a href="http://www.greyedoutproductions.com/shop/">selection of his bags on his shop</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: I don&#8217;t get a commision and Mike didn&#8217;t even ask me to write this up, but I thought he bags are awesome, and I have found Mike to be an awesome part of this hobby community.</p></blockquote>

<p>So what are your thoughts on dice bags? Do you have one of Mike&#8217;s or from another maker? Hit up the comments and let us know.</p>

<h2>Rainbow Warrior Deathwatch</h2>
<p>But first off, I did finish the Deathwatch marine I painted using the <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/rainbow-warriors-tactical-squad/">Rainbow Warriors scheme</a>. I took a bunch of pictures along the way and plan to do a full tutorial on painting him shortly.</p>
<p>Though I am still 50/50 on the leopard print. I may go back and fix that first.</p>

<p>Also, for the Rainbow Warrior Project, I am helping to set up the site. So in all my glorious free time (hehe) I am setting up another WordPress site for the project and allow all the contributors to showcase their miniatures. I&#8217;ll post more updates on that as I make some progress.</p>
<h2>Stompa!!</h2>
<p>In Ork news, I broke out the Stompa project box (yeah it&#8217;s taken that long I have it in a file box!). Where I last left the Stompa, I had the main body finished, minus all the little bits. So out come all those little bits onto the painting station.</p>
<p>The first to get knocked out was the big skull belly plate. Being the Death Skulls clan, it of course in a giant blue skull! With some copious amounts of scratches and weathering, it came together fairly quickly.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="22184" data-permalink="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wip-updates-8-9-17/death-skull-plate/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?fit=1432%2C1943&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="1432,1943" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nexus 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1502088348&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.82&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;171&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008608&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="death-skull-plate" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?fit=755%2C1024&amp;ssl=1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-22184" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?resize=405%2C550&#038;ssl=1" alt="Stompa Death Skull Belly Plate" width="405" height="550" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?resize=405%2C550&amp;ssl=1 405w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?resize=768%2C1042&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?resize=755%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 755w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/death-skull-plate.jpg?w=1432&amp;ssl=1 1432w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px" /></a></p>
<p>And glued into place. While Orks are known for their planning, I did have the location of the skull pre-planned so the armor plates behind the eyes would be red and not blue plates nearby to obscure the skull.</p>

<p>Next up is the little windows covering the grots, the skull plate that broke off the banner, and the back scaffold thingy. Oh, and the Grots are in the process of being painted with washes.</p>
<h2>Warboss</h2>
<p>But that is not the main attraction! The other long standing Ork project I am trying to finish finally is the Megaboss conversion. I last left him with the skin and face completed and all the armor plates base coated and washed.</p>
<p>But the front armor was still unglued (to paint his face). So I glued it into place and closed the gap with Liquid Green Stuff. That was nerve wracking though! Trying to scrape and sculpt a partially painted mini was stressful.</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="22185" data-permalink="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wip-updates-8-9-17/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?fit=2048%2C1458&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="2048,1458" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Nexus 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1501764864&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.82&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;211&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01083&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?fit=840%2C598&amp;ssl=1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-22185" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?resize=550%2C392&#038;ssl=1" alt="WIP Ork Megaboss Converted Tyranid Skull" width="550" height="392" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?resize=550%2C392&amp;ssl=1 550w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?resize=768%2C547&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?resize=1024%2C729&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/www.brokenpaintbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/wip-megaboss-tyranid-skull.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></a></p>
<p>But I continued and started sculpting the skull into a giant Tyranid head. It&#8217;s a neat bit on the mini, but I needed to bring it into the 40k world and adding ridges was an easy(ish) solution.</p>
<p>So I read back through the <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/improve-your-sculpting-tools-putties/">sculpting tips from Mr. Pink</a>, and started with the topmost ridge. I layered on each set once the previous dried. It was a long process of waiting for the putty to dry, which is why I worked on the Stompa at the same time.</p>
<p>Once completed, I painted it up in the same <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/how-to-paint-a-carnifex/">colors as my Hive Fleet Behemoth</a>. Â Not only does this tie him into my other armies, but the blue fit perfectly with the scheme as well.</p>

<p>All the metal areas were weathered a bit more with rust powders before being sealed in with spray varnish. From there it was highlights of Gunmetal and Model Air Aluminum. I&#8217;ve also highlighted the blue, white, and red armor panels which nearly completes him.</p>

<p>The final areas to paint are the straps and leather trousers. I will then add some more weathering powders over the whole mini to tie it together. As this model comes together, I feel it is one of my best painted yet and am super happy with him.</p>
<h2>That&#8217;s a Wrap</h2>
<p>So that&#8217;s what is currently on my painting table. Hopefully, the Megaboss will be done soon, and more progress will be made on the Stompa. I&#8217;m not sure if I will finish it anytime soon, but rather continue to make steady progress while I paint some other projects.</p>

<p>When I got my Stormtalon, I had looked around for other people&#8217;s conversions as I didn&#8217;t like the base model.Â <a href="http://handofjunk.blogspot.tw/2013/02/space-marine-stormtalon-conversion.html" rel="noopener">Danny&#8217;s conversion is very similar to the new Interceptor model</a>Â &#8211; cool conversion if you want the new plane and have an old kit lying around.</p>

<p>This week also had aÂ <a href="https://www.brokenpaintbrush.com/good-reads-27/" rel="noopener">Good Reads showcasing some great blogs</a>Â from around the hobby. This week had robots, scratch built tanks, and Death Guard Knight Titans!</p>
<h2>Inspiration: Putty and Paint</h2>
<p>Do you like looking at fantastically painted miniatures?Â <a href="https://el2.convertkit-mail.com/c/preview/pnceh9/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wdXR0eWFuZHBhaW50LmNvbS8=" rel="noopener">Putty and Paint is an invite only showcase site that has some amazing artists</a>. Being invite only could be viewed as elitist, but they also work hard to curate the work, so it is a fantastic experience.</p>
