Dusting off the Cobwebs

Hello fellow hobbyists! It's been a little bit since I posted. I ended up with a herniated disc that prevented me from... well life in general. Never fear, a wonderful medical team helped me get back to semi normal. Still working on the rest. 

So finally after weeks of collecting dust, I resumed some hobby projects! I picked a few easier ones off my desk, figures I had started while waiting for a larger group to dry. Thought it was better to ease into things after a hiatus. So lets get to it:

Industrial robot TR-7L is ambushed by wild beasts while attempting to recover some scrap.

Dunger Crossing

 Citizens take warning! This area is a known path for wild Dungers. While normally docile, Dungers can be very dangerous if provoked. It is recommended that you steer clear of them for safety. Thank you for your cooperation. 

Great models full of character!

Spent some time visiting family recently, and so the next Summer of Eldar models aren't quite ready yet. While you wait here are some more models I finished while waiting for others to dry. 

Three Drones Meet at a Cave...

Since the Last War, production of new weapons and equipment is limited. So it's fallen on most to rely on arms dealers who resell salvaged equipment. While not great for an organization who doesn't have much of a budget, it does help balance things out as there's only a limited number of goods out there. You just have to know the right Arms Dealer to get what you want... and hope you can reach a reasonable bargain. 

Two drones attempt to hold back the Feldspar drone from emerging from hiding

I know I hinted at some something for the Alai to work with... but while I was waiting for them to dry I knocked these minis out. 

The Running of the Birds

It’s all gone to the birds!

The Saffron tribes head to market.

The high plains of Locust 5 are home to several species of large bird-like creatures. Some are good eating, some have been tamed for carrying goods, and others are even large enough to ride. Regardless of how they are used, they are a vary common sight on this world.

Indigenous Life Forms

The untamed planet of Locust 5 is home to all sorts of indigenous life forms. Among them are the scouts of the Saffron Tribes. These low tech tribes have used their psychic gifts to help them see a better path. That there is more to gain by acting as guides to prospectors who arrive to their planet than fighting against them. 

A couple of bounty hunters broker a deal with some local scouts. 

Knocked a few quick models out this week. Meant for more background NPC types... but cool effective models in my opinion. More after the break.

Something is on the wing!

Even though I’ve been a little quiet, hobbying has been progressing! I’ve been trying to get a bunch of stuff prepared for winter painting. The weather around here is already too cold most days to prime with spray paint. So I prep for the days it warms up. However I really wanted to paint something, so I grabbed something I knew would be quick:

Scrap Apes are looking for a meal...

The Scrap Apes are something all ship captains have to keep an eye out for. These curious beasts are not only strong enough to rip open the hull of a ship, they also like to feast on some of the components when they do!

Hitting the Mark

With the completion of the Ork crew I've been trying to do a steady supply of building. My favored primers are all spray cans, so we're getting to the part of the year where we need to button things up. The more I get built and primed now, the longer I can progress through the winter. 

Galaxy's most wanted

That said, sometimes the urge strikes you to do something different. I had such a great time with the Orks that I decided to knock out a few enemies for them to fight.
