Blast from my past, Ebay sales.

As some of you are aware I have been collection figures for some time now and there comes a time when you just need to let some stuff go to make room for the new shiny shiny and for the funds topay for it :)

After selling my Warlord Titan to Dave at Weemen, who I had the pleasure of finally meeting at Blog Wars 9, with a little help from Alex who organised another great tournament. It came to pass that the Imperial Knight was once again a top tier codex at the event and that got me thinking!  It also came to my knowledge that I have not played Apocalypse for some time and as these are primarily for the Apocalypse game,  by buying a Imperial Knight army they can be used for a standard game and Apocalypse it's a win win situation. 

So it's with some regret that I have decided to let these go, for another commander to take them into battle, I hope you like my auctions.  Good luck and happy bidding :)

How cool are these Taurox conversion sets :-

Now I don't know about you but the new Games Workshop's vehicle the Taurox hasn't really inspired me although I love the Militarum Tempestus Scions figures and I had a thought of painting them like British Paratroopers from the second world War. I could use the Forge World's  Elysian Drop Troop vehicles and army list then I saw this..... OMG

The conversion set is from my old friend Kit at Zinge Industries he told me months ago he had an idea of making wheels for the new vehicle coming out before it was released,  but I had no idea it would better then the original, in my opinion it's 10x better.  I spoke to Kit last night and he told me that the sets went down a storm at Salute and they sold out in no time.  He informs me he is frantically in the process of making more...

My Throne of Skulls Nurgle Army WIP shots Typhus and Heldrake

You have had a blast from the past now for some new and up to date conversions, in preparation for our next trip to Throne Skulls I'll be taking a complete and pure Nurgle Space Marine army with no allies.  Now I know a lot of people take allies to competitive competitions but I'm too much of a purist and I'm so unlucky with dice that I would never win even with a Necron army with the Storm Lord.  I like to turn up with well painted (pretty) themed armies hoping they will be bedazzeled by the army and go easy on me :)

First up is my Conversion of Typhus, It's not much of a conversion but when I bought that Fine Cast model I was a little shocked how small he was I've got Forge World  Terminator Deathguard bigger then him, so I wanted to pimp him up a bit.  First thing was to make him taller, I butchered a Mutilator and cut the bottom of his legs off above the knees and at the hips so I could put typhus in a taller and better pose, I also added mist trails from the Vampire Counts Coven Throne as noxious gas for ever billowing out of his suit, Oh and a pour helpless Imperial Guard Commander who is about to face his doom.

Second is my Heldrake or Hellfly as I like to call it, converted from a Heldrake's wings, a Landspeeder thruster, the air vent from a Storm Raven (which had been left off my Storm Raven as I feel It's too tall, but that's another story for another blog), An Arachnarok complete spider kit apart from one set of legs and flexible power cables purchased from zinge.co.uk  Some serious remodelling of the Arachnarok had to take place to get the model to look like the desired effect, I was looking for a cross between a blowfly and a wasp, I think I achieved it don't you.
