Quick Post! Adam Devitt, the guy who sculpted my Space Apes is back at it with a new Kickstarter. What apes? These:

This time he has created a leader bot called "The Collector". But you can add on any of his older projects like these:

Fall of the Apes - Part 2

Funny, I called this the fall of the apes because I planned to paint all these guys over the fall. Not that it really matters, as long as I'm having fun. Anyway, onto the minis!

By request: Damn you; damn you all to heck!

The Squatches were primitive beings until they were genetically enhanced during the last war. Utilized for labor and as soldiers, they've become skilled enough to stand one their own. Now with the war over, they seek a new place in the universe. Taking odd jobs and expanding their ranks with similar aliens, they've started to make a name for themselves. 

Fall of the Apes - Part 1

One of the inhabitants of the forests of Locust 4 are the Squatches. Rumor is they were brought here as laborers, however they are much more cunning than they first appear and eventually won their freedom. Despite looks they are a rather advanced species who prefers to live in harmony with nature. However when push comes to shove they will brandish a weapon like any other to defend their own. As such, these days can be found among many crew's working from the Locust sector... and in some instances running as a full pack.

A group of "native" Squatches welcomes home those who lived among the aliens.

It's been over a year since I backed the Space Apes III kickstarter by Adam Devitt. Being a fan of all things scifi I knew they'd be a great addition to my collection. Planet of the apes, Wookiees, Yeti's, Bigfoot; there's plenty of reasons to have some scifi apes in the collection. So it was about time to put some paint on them and get these guys to their intended use! 

Searching the Stars - Eldar Adventuring Party Part 2

 As the Summer of Eldar comes to an end, I'm pleased to present to you the Eldar adventurer Niten Starsearcher and his crew of exodites!

Starsearcher and company search some ruins for ancient artifacts.

If you need a reminder of the builds, check it out over here: Part 1 Link.

Searching the Stars - Eldar Adventuring Party Part 1

When I started the Summer of Eldar project there were lots of ideas. The main focus was of course to finish painting some of the base coated Biel-Tan in the display case. I also painted up some Alai mercenaries I had started/collected. While those were great, I still wanted a Stargrave crew. I though of a crew of Corsairs, or just bulk out the Alai more; and then inspiration struck.

Here we have the beginnings of my Eldar Adventurer and his exodite companions. So far it's only modeling, but since they are some pretty extensive conversions I figured I'd show them off.
