I do a lot behind the scenes at Holo Writing, from actual novel-writing to handling our graphic design, marketing, and social media presence. One of my most recent projects has been teaching myself to design eBooks in Adobe InDesign*, and this is the fruit of that! 😀 Then I figured, while I’m updating the guts, […]
Space Marines
Introducing the Pug of War!
View this post on Instagram If Pentalion was a Crusader… Sweet #fanart by @phouthong_phimmarath! #sccomicon A post shared by Jacob & H. P. Holo (@holowriting) on Mar 26, 2017 at 11:34am PDT Sometimes a piece of fanart comes along that digs into your brain and won’t let go. Last year at SC ComiCon, Phouthong Phimmarath […]
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Chaos Daemons Tzeentch army, with 95% conversions. My Chaos Daemons army is easily the craziest modeling project I’ve ever embarked upon. All but one model in the entire army have some sort of conversion work, and many involved extensive conversions. The theme behind the army is a space marine force gone horribly […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Wolf Guard Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves wolf guard conversions. The wolf guard conversions form the meat of this army, and they take a lot of forms. The large size of the terminator bases, as well as the models themselves, presented a lot of opportunities for some really dynamic poses and interesting bases. I […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Vindicator Conversions
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Space Wolves vindicator conversions. What do you get when you cross 3 Space Marine vindicator kits, spare Cadians, a lot of green stuff, and an overactive imagination? Something like this! Each vindicator kit comes with a cannon shell. I took one, built up a plume of green stuff, and attached it to the […]
Warhammer 40K: Space Wolves Dreadnought Conversion
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 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 […]
