WAAGH! Drillteef

A while back, my buddy, Pat bought me a Warbus from Puppetswar.  Everybody in the world loves this model.  I've wanted to do something special with it from the start.  Now is the time.  I've decided to do it in the style of the bus belonging to The Electric Mayhem in the Muppet Movie . As you may know, the leader of The Electric Mayhem is Dr.Teeth. This is unbelievably appropriate, I think. The symbol for DrTeeth is AMAZING. I'd never noticed it before.  It's a tooth with wings and lightningbolts shooting out the sides.  Seriously, I may have to add this iconography throughout my army. Anyways, here's the bus with a basecoat of white.  The deffrolla is the standard kit from Games Workshop.  I can't lie, the Battlewagon Upgrade Kit is an ace product .  The fact that it comes with a cool, little Grot Rigger and a Lobba is icing on the cake. As usual, I am extremely pleased with my airbrush .  It makes ...

I got this tip from my fellow Freeboota, Chaplain. He said that he found a nail polish that crackled over a surface and created a really nice effect for power weapons. The polish is called " Avon Mosaic Effects Top Coat " and is available from your friendly local Avon dealer.  From what I can tell, it is similar in composition to White Out . I haven't tried an actual substitution yet, but I might give it a try.  One thing is for certain, though, you do want a very smooth surface to put it on. Avon suggests their Nailwear Pro+ to start, however the Nailwear Pro+ stuff is colored and I think you're better off using whatever paint (Citadel or otherwise) you want with a clear enamel over it before doing the crackle.  You'll probably want to pick up the white crackle, the black, or both. At any rate, the color you get is the color of the crackle, so in the image below, I'm using the white and the cracks show the blue I painted underneath. I didn't do any ad...

I have been meaning to start a blog about my hobby progress and now seems as good a time as any. I just completed a short project involving the renovation of my WAAGH!'s warlord, Mad Doc Drillteef D.D.S. This is what he looked like before I started.  Of course, this isn't a terrible conversion.  He's got the giant, over-the-top 'urty syringe, drill, and mask on.  It's pretty obvious he's a big ass Painboy.  He's just gotten long in the tooth. My warlord should evoke my abilities as a hobbyist and I've grown a lot since then. So the Doc got cut up, which is fine because he's used to it. I rummaged through my bitz and found an old Enterprise nacelle I could use for the Nitrous tank as well as some pintle turret bitz. A snug fit.  I also added some chaos trophy poles.  I chose the one with Necrons and Space Marines because WAAGH! Drillteef hails from Ultima Segmentum and they are the WAAGH!'s main opponents. I used t...
