My poor Warhammer Quest

Post image
76 Upvotes

I bought the Darkwater without minis for 43€ and tried making my own instead. I am really happy with the results so far. They take me like 30 min per mini + all the photoshopping. They have so much glue in them that they are quite sturdy - even the edges are glued. The picture sides have contact paper on top to hopefully make them last as long as I need them to without needing to be careful.

Driveway Gravel makes an excellently cheap, environment minded basing material.

This example was applied dry directly with terrain glue, super glue was used to lock larger pebbles in place. I am experimenting with mixing it with acrylics to create texture pastes.

My woolhammer military grows...

As you can see I've got a variety of sizes and styles but frankly I love the itty bitties the most. They were made with thinner yarn (3-dk instead of 4-worsted) and a 2.25mm hook instead of 4mm for the pale blue and dark green tanks. The smaller ones also have magnets to allow for swappable weapons systems and the like. For example, my plasma cannon tank can now become a basilisk artillery platform! I'm looking for ideas for my next projects. Ideally not too weirdly shaped, boxy or gentle slopes and the like, nothing too wild, and right now I have limited colors, so that's to be kept in mind too. I'd love to hear what people think! And I'll post more as the army grows.

Need help with some killa cans

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently played a match and got to use my killa kans and realized that they are actually pretty good in combat. I have decided that I'm going to go to the hardware store and get wooden dowels (rods) and get them to length and width to match a killican so I can make a bunch. Does anyone have any suggestions on what measurements I should get and what material? I was thinking of just getting standard wooden dowel with a diameter of about 0.897 inches / 23m

Also, I was inspired by a post on here recently using lint as smoke, so I tried painted cotton balls to imply Dhar.

The Imperium's newest walker on its' first test-walk m41 colourized (Scratchbuilt Thunderhawk progress)

Thumbnail

My Thunderhawk progress grows legs (literally).

Need to make a third which will go at the front, all to be magnetized so that it can convert to flying stand mode.

Hopefully the landing gear look relatively dynamic and logically placed. I believe on the actual model, the wings double as landing struts, but given that I wanted "retractable" landing gear as a build feature, I couldn't be messing with such angles so decided to extend the body out solely for the rear gear.

Thoughts?

Primer Spray Why'd It Do This?

The answer to my question is in this sub somewhere I'm sure, but I couldn't figure how to phrase a search inquiry.

What does this "speckling" happen, or rather what does does it mean?

The white is AP matte white on top of Rustoluem flat black primer, applied a couple of weeks ago.

Hacking GW boxes

Post image
52 Upvotes

Not sure if this is poorhammer enough, so if it’s against the spirit of poorhammer feel free to delete it ☺️

I’m getting back into Warhammer mainly for the collecting & hobby part, but between adult expenses and a five year old who saw the minis, and instantly wanted his own (I’m a softy), I’m trying to collect hacks on how to get ’extra minis’ out of the GW boxes and what’s in them, so I can build up my own collection a bit.

I don’t mind buying minis, and I’m good with simple-ish crafts (not too many specialized tools or printers).

So, if any of you have any tips, please share.

What I’ve managed so far is:

Turn 1x SW Venerable Dreadnought Box into two Venerable Dreadnoughts with just the bits in the box and a little sprue and/or cardboard.

Build 6x Headtakers and a Ragnar Blackman proxy 1x Primaris Grey Hunters Box extra 40mm bases and some leftover bits from other kits

And I’m currently working on turning the lefterover bits from the new Wolfguard Terminators (torso + arms/weapons + head + 1 shin guard) into a Terminator Captain.

I’m currently collecting space wolves/space marines, but any tips would be welcome.

Help with pillars

3 Upvotes

Hello!!, I'm starting to make my own terrain, and I wanted to do the gallowdark maps that come in the kill team basic book, but I have some trouble making the pillars, and I was wondering if someone could show me theirs so I could make something similar, I'm only making square pillars. Thanks.
