Hello you all!
Decided to join the fun and show my collection of small armies. No big loads here I am afraid.
I begin with showing off everything small scale that i have. And will then continue to active or future projects.

You will see BFG, Wamaster and 6mm SciFi Miniatures(mostly Epic).

Image
My little pile of tiny stuff :)

I start with BFG as it is allready on top.
Image

My fleet is in the Transition from everyday Chaos to Tzeentch fleet.
Image

Here my big ones wich never saw battle to this day. :D The Papercard skelleton is my beginning of a scratchbuild demon cruiser.
Image

Sketch for the Demon cruiser.
Image

This shows the progress of 10 or 12 years... ok only on the bases :)
Image

Next up Warmaster!
Image

Now Warmaster is a special thing. Nearly none of this armies or models are mine or painted by me. Somehow i got the dump for the warmaster armies of my friends but i think only one stills plays tabletop. Its a bit strange.

Image

The first one is an Empire army from the only one who still plays tabletop.
Image

A selfmade Nazguhl!
Image
Image

Nrearly all armies have missing parts or incomplete units but in the case are tons of bits so i think i can make them playable.

Next up is a mostly unfinished Tomb Kings army. This Army is from a friend I have no contact with anymore, but i i will find him and then I will buy it from him. :D
Image

The few painted Units... whats up with all this green ?
Image

After some Undead we have Dwarfs!. Again this Army belongs to a friend i don't even know where he lives or what he does. This Army is not playable i think. Have some more strips and bits. Strange are the bend bases. Don't know how that happend.
Image
Image

The second Empire army. This Time from my cousin. He gave it to me officially. So i have the right to play and enhance this Army. This amry has a ridiculus amount of knights. Most are randomly painted and unbased.
Image
It is also the best painted army.
Image

Enough of this swords&sworcery!
Let's bring out the guns!

This my friends is the first Box of Tabletop I ever bought! I spend all my pocket mponey i gathered from Cristmas to birthday for this and a bunch of sisters of battle. I even got huge discount because i bought at a GW-store opening event. Saved around a hundred Deutsche Mark. :D
So this is pure nostalgia! That sayed, nobody wanted to play Epic with me, so i never played it at all. :(
Image
Image

My Ork army! The only thing not from the Box are 4 Cybots and 3 Fightabombas and my recently made Großer Gargant (Big Gargant?).
Image
This stuff is poorly painted! Remember its my first tabletop stuff ever and i was around 10 or something.
Image

The Space Marines! Of course i painted them red. Damn i hate Blood Angels nowadays. I will strip them from their paint and change to a different chapter. Maybe White Scars or Salamanders. The only additional Units here are 3 Vindicators, 8 Cybots, 2 Thunderbolts (i think) and 4 Landspeeders.
Image
Look at this nightmare! :D
Image

But wait there is more!
My first purchase of 6mm after over one decade. Bought them via my local hobby store and waited only half a year. :D Ramjacks, HQ Battalion and Buggys from DRM.
Image
Somehow i overwashed the buggy. :-/

So after seeing the Chaos Titan kitbash from Xenocidal Maniac I got very inspired.
First the Link to his thread. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25467

I wanted to do something similar ut my bitbox is empty. No Epic bits, nearly no 40k pits that aren't tyranids. So i searched through the very few bits i had and then decided i need some plasticard as i never used it before. After a long search in the next city i finally found some sheets of 1mm and 0,5mm plasticard.
I decided for an ork gargant because of my inexpirence in the scale and material. Long story short - pictures!

There's some in the rulebook. If you don't have a copy it pretty much boils down to:

1) Assemble, base and prime
2) Base coat
3) Wash
4) Drybrush with the base coat and lighter colors
5) Paint the details and the base
6) Seal

I tend to switch 3 and 4.

All this and in addition I personally find that at that scale exaggerating highlights even more than you would at 28mm tends to give more pleasing results. I've really gotten into serious extreme edge highlighting with my vehicles, for instance, to make them pop. As with everything though do what YOU like and YMMV :D

Unfortunatly somehow i lost 2 of the books from the box. :( Only the rulebook is left.
But thank you very much for this breakdown. :)

Yes, i thought about that too. Think i saw it in the forums... maybe in your log? :)
I will use the orks the get used to the scale and test some methods. The Infatry wil be the hard part i think.

Picture of the feet:

Some Ork progress:

Was thinking about the direction of my ork army and just remembered these. Don't have any but saw them in my local hobby shop. For Stompas or some other gargant like machine. They are compatible to 40k Orks so size could be good.
