Dragged into Turbolasers Episode 131: A major disappointment - Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon Space Orks

What happened to the necks of orks over the years?

We talk with our friend Brad about all of the newly revealed Warhammer 40k Armageddon Space Ork models. We discuss how disappointed we are with the new models and how the initial reveals got our hopes up, only to be dashed by the complete reveal of the Armageddon box.

Resin Casting: Molds for Nemessos Miniatures

I am back to silicone mold making!

Over the years, we have experimented with creating silicone molds to create resin copies of some of our conversions. Eventually, we shifted to creating single-piece molds due to their simplicity and have used them to create copies of some of the tiny firearms we have converted in the past. Recently, our friend Brian of Nemessos Miniatures inquired whether we could help him create resin casts of a series of heads he designed for an antiquity-inspired elf army, which he could use across various game systems. Having always been impressed with his careful conversion work and attention to detail and scale, I enthusiastically agreed to help. It would prove to be a great way to dust off my casting equipment and start creating resin copies of conversions again!

GorkaMorka: Red Gobbo Conversion

For Da Revolushun!

Over the last few weeks, we have been excited about greenskins in various forms, from painting a longsnout, to discussing the upcoming editions of Warhammer 40,000 featuring new Ork models, to playing Space Gits. Sadly, our blog has not focused on the more diminutive grots and gretchin, despite our love for them, particularly the late 90s-era GorkaMorka grots. We realized we had an opportunity to change this when we found a resin cast of the Red Gobbo (a Rebel Grot special character from the GorkaMorka Digganob expansion) that we made when we started to create one-piece silicon molds. Resin is a lot easier to work with than metal, so we decided it would be fun to convert the Red Gobbo and showcase them here on the blog!

Trench Crusade: Terrain by Redwetskeleton

A Life Entombed.

Recently, we commissioned Redwetskeleton to create a Trench Crusade Communicant. It is a stunningly grotesque model that fits perfectly in the horrific setting. In addition to having him create the Communicant, we asked if he could also create a few pieces of terrain to accompany the miniature. He ended up building a small board’s worth of terrain pieces, which I wanted to showcase here.
