Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves dreadnought conversion. This dreadnought conversion was actually a little trickier than it looks. The model is mostly stock, except the feet were adjusted slightly to allow it to stop on a poor Cadian. Getting the angle right proved difficult, given the lack of mobility in the stock model. Green stuff and […]

Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves terminator army. I’ve loved terminators for about as long as I’ve loved Warhammer 40K, and I always had this itch to do an all-terminator army. When the 5th Edition Space Wolves codex came out in 2009, I picked it up and was immediately drawn to the customization options […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Tervigon Conversion
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Tervigon conversion, with vomited termagants. I used the trygon kit to build this tervigon. For the “birthing” part of its rules, I decided to show it in a rather unconventional way. My tervigon vomits termagants! I used the Mawloc jaw as a base along with green stuff and […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Mawloc Conversion
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Mawloc conversion. The mawloc is based on the trygon kit, but I heavily modified the head. I used the mawloc mouths and tongues from three trygon kits along with green stuff to form the head. The space marine was easily add by cutting the ends of the tongues, gluing the […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Hive Tyrant Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Hive Tyrant conversions. With only a few minor modifications, I used a carnifex kit to make this hive tyrant. The most significant change is to the area where the legs and torso meet, where enough material had to be shaved off in order to get the tyrant to stand up […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Broodlord Conversion
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Broodlord conversion, with freshly sliced space marine. This conversion used genestealer and tyranid warrior parts. Only the head and the feet are from the genestealer kit. One genestealer foot came with an extension for slotting into the base. I took that extension and merged it […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Zoanthrope Conversion
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Zoanthrope, with psychically exploding space marine. The exploding space marine was made using standard space marine bits, metal wire, and green stuff. I used the wire to create a sub-structure and then built the green stuff on top of it in layers until I reached sufficient […]
The Dragons of Jupiter: Cover Work-in-Progress
Kaneda’s dropfighter ground to a halt just outside the city. Explosive bolts blew the rear hatch open. The locks holding his armor released. “Move out!” Kaneda shouted. Crusaders stormed out of the dropfighter. Kaneda raised his Gatling gun and followed. He stepped off the metal ramp and onto the moon’s surface. Ice crunched under his […]
Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid army. While I’m not the best painter or converter or player … I do have a lot of fun with the hobby. And for me, that’s the whole point. I currently favor Warmachine over Warhammer 40K for my […]
Engineer Likes WordPress
Starting near the end of February, 2013, I began an experiment. I stopped playing video games for a whole month and started a blog. Because, you know, why not? Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed blogging quite a bit. You see, I love statistics. I love numbers. I love analyzing data. It’s part of being an engineer. […]
Warmachine Tactics – Cryx: Epic Skarre
Warcasters are the stars of Warmachine, and Cryx has no shortage of powerful and fun-to-play warcasters. Today, I’m taking a look at Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast. IN SHORT: Feel like outshooting Cygnar for a change? Try Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast! No, serious. She can actually do that. But if you don’t […]
Warmachine Tactics – Cryx: Epic Asphyxious
H.P. Holo: I see you’re using Odiferous. Jacob Holo: His name is Asphyxious. H.P. Holo: Yeah, but isn’t he the one that farts out those clouds of noxious fumes every turn? Jacob Holo: I guess … H.P. Holo: Then I’m right. He’s a stinking fart machine. So there. Warcasters are the stars of Warmachine, and […]
