I just started my first blog, if any of this interests you please pop over and take a look :)
https://wakesemporium.wordpress.com/

Hi everybody! This will be a place for me to put pictures of my various WIP projects. I dont get much time to work on stuff and I usually have alot more going than I can handle XD so this is likely to have alot of near completion and scattered works. Apologies if that bugs you XD

I think I mainly would like to share to provide others with inspiration and maybe get some tips/tricks in turn.

So please enjoy and let me know what you think!

Ill start off with my newest mini project, custom Mega Nobz for myself. I did just purchase a large order of Vanguard orks but I wanted to see what I could achieve at this scale. I am amazed at the detail that was retained by the shapeways prints (I just wish I was a better painter!)
Pictured here with my Vostroyans
I apologize for my sub par photo taking skillz :)

Ive also been working steadily for some time on star wars stuff. Here is just some of what I have going on right now, only the Storm Troopers are finished.

Ive been working on this custom Hellbrute for like a year trying to get him where I want him, still not quite there but he will get there eventually XD Also included is the model he is based off of.

I also have a Stalk Tank model ive been working on with that hellbrute, It is very 'realistically' proportioned based on a set art piece so its extremely fragile. When I get around to doing more with it ill probably post it. It will likely be a diorama at his point, maybe of the ghosts?


Finally atm I ahve spent a bit of time on a sort of hive world Hover Bike gang im doing, I like the way they are coming out but I wanted a big showpiece for them and also to be able to use for RPing so that what you got here.

I should also mention that most of my stuff isnt actually for Epic Armagedon as you guys play it. I mostly use my miniatures for Role play purposes and also for a custom set of the Epic Rules emphasizing realistic, company level, Character Driven, Imperial Guard Centric rules. Which is why you might see some non standard basing. IE alot of single characters :)

I don't think I've seen a 'modern scale' infantry project like these Mega Nobz. Very nice.

the thing next to it is a 3d printed stormtrooper dropship though.

Jabba and Gamoreans would be easy actually XD

You need to make the gamoreans and jabber then if they are easy...... ;) would love to see the finished result.

Plenty of love for 6mm starwars ! or 8mm would be cool with 3 minatures to a stand apart from hero characters!
