Skitarii Ludi are on the march!!! Skitarii Army Musings and some Bushido WIP

So I took a bit of a break from painting to assemble an 1850 point Skitarii army. I am so excited about this project and this army in particular. Musings and army list after the jump!

Adventures in packaging a Reaver Titan for cross-country shipping!!

I finished the repair job on the Reaver Titan. Parts were challenging, but it was cool to see the beast come together again. The client's #1 concern was to have the model arrive safely and securely. I pinned everything I could with 1/16" solid rods and JB Weld, so the resin around the joint will break before the bond does.

On the workbench, and on deck! Reaver Titan and some Bushido!



On the workbench right now is a repair project: A Reaver Titan! The client had previously commissioned the painting of the Titan to another studio, but when it was shipped back to him it shattered.  Very upsetting, I'm sure.  It has languished in pieces for too long and has been sent to me for repair.  As it is the first time I am handling a Reaver Titan, it's a terribly exciting project.  Makes me want one of my own even more now!  1/16" rods and JB Weld should do the trick!



After the Reaver Titan is a large group of minis from Bushido.  The Silvermoon Syndicate.  This is going to be a fascinating and very challenging project, as there are many different styles and textures within the group, and lots of tattoos! It's a wonderful break from power armor and tanks, and will be a joy to do.

Imperial Knight Quartet Finished. What a blast!



Recently finished a very fun project: 4 Imperial Knights! All four were built using the new Imperial Knight Warden kit, though only two of the four are magnetized. The Knight Crusader and Knight Warden (rusty wasteland bases) are static, as they are for my personal army. The Knight on the snow base and the knight on the grey sandy base are for clients and are fully magnetized. I knew I would enjoy painting these beasts, though I had no idea just how much I would love this project. It is truly one of those moments where the experience outstripped expectations. Hope you like the end result!
