Gav Does inq28mm

[greenstuff_gav]

what's hat? another bandwagon?!
i've done some Inq28mm before, but with the talk of a mixed event, thought i'd put together a crew to mix in with my 54mm Mechanicus stuff

so, i've started with the servitors from the Space Marine Techmarine box;


i spotted one with cables inplace of an arm who reminded me of someone...

can you guess who?


It's Magos Rowne!
plasticard box, Hasslefree head and GS detailing


he's just about ready for undercoat .. i was going to pull the box apart and make it nice and square but just started a new job so have other things on my mind 
will be undercoating him tomorrow and starting work on the first servitor

[MarcoSkoll]

Mini Rowne!

but with the talk of a mixed event

Don't be too overoptimistic about it at the moment. I want to see it happen, but it's not off the drawing board just yet. It needs a lot of buy-in.

[Dolnikan]

Very, very interesting, I am curious to see what else you can make, Rowne looks very good so far.

[greenstuff_gav]

Don't be too overoptimistic about it at the moment. I want to see it happen, but it's not off the drawing board just yet. It needs a lot of buy-in.

even if it doesn't it'd be nice to have warbands for both scales
if i can help, gi'us a poke

anywho, mini-rowne is undercoating so there's not alot to see on that front

however, another familiar character appears...

guess who!

The main issue is getting enough players at both scales who won't start arguments (that would not be good). I expect the INQvitational needs to happen and kick off INQ28 events first.

guess who!

Is it that git I had to run away from to avoid a plasma cannon to the face?

[Molotov]

Awesome to see someone with your skills taking up the INQ28 baton, Gav. I'm expecting big (well, small...) things!

[greenstuff_gav]

so, i've started painting Rowne and fixed the clear plastiglass screen

just gotta clean up the edges with GS and paint before final layer of highlighting all round

Is it that git I had to run away from to avoid a plasma cannon to the face?

certainly is!

[Dolnikan]

Rowne looks really good, the face in the box is very haunting.

I wonder who else we will see.

[greenstuff_gav]

well, i've done more work to 5t-V3 or Steve


and he has a friend!

a varient of my standard Mining Servitors; a buzzsaw for cutting things apart (with reinforcing arm to aid in application of pressure!) and a claw for lifting cut things aside. the cast was terrible so i replaced a pipe with guitar wire

and here's where we stand at the moment!


i plan on adding an actual person to the crew, i found one of the old Female Cadians from Phoenix Miniatures so i'm sure some form of Guard Lady will appear and maybe another Mechanicus (as i've got a huge pile of Guitar wire these days!)

[Dolnikan]

The servitors are great. The plasma cannon is really well built and has a bit of a classic feel. Where is the buzzsaw from?

[greenstuff_gav]

aye, the plasmablaster was reminisce of the old school plasma cannon on the Imperator titan
the buzsaw is from the Ork Nobs box set  

[CantStrafeRight]

Nice work sofar. 


Out of curiosity how do you handle Magos Rowne in-game?  Does he count as having 2 heads, do you count them as separate characters or is it just one character using a normal hit location table?

[greenstuff_gav]

thanks
welcome to the 'clave! be sure to post an introduction to yourself;no doubt someone will be along wit the Big Yellow Welcome

as to rules, it's simply a switch of damage locations; i use the Head Damage Table for the Left Arm and apply arm damage to hits to the head
rules can be found Here with servitors and the like

Beautiful work Gav:)

I have to say I think the frontal trim of the box might look better mettalic as looks a bit homogenous with the rest of the box. But thats nit picking!

The downscaling is fantastic to see in general. How much quicker or not would you say you found making these up?

[greenstuff_gav]

i think for some, like Rowne himself, the conversions are alot quicker than with 54mm; you can get away with alot more corner cutting & the smaller surfaces mean less work overall
saying that tho, there's more careful choice of components; i think it's harder to find specific characterful stuff ...

i've repainted Rownes box-rim and it does look better

also, there's more work to the next tech priest ... not alot of WIP shots as while i was working on the armature the missus said "hey, that looks like a willy.." and it was all i could see :lol:

still well WIP, but even with my thickest guitar string the marine servo-hands were huge so having to sculpt one
also going to add tools and gubbins to the end of each string and bulk out the hood some

also, digging around in bits boxes (yay for working for a wargames shop!) i've got some more members of the crew

don't know if i'm going to magnetise the skulls to the two diff characters bases (to swap between), mount all three Skulls on one base or make small bases for 'em individually yet...
