Grime Lights - A Prequel

Some time ago (this time last year as it happens), I titillated audiences with a tiny teasing of world building.....

Well, okay, I faffed about with some background ideas (see: Ordo Nemuritorus) that never truly came to fruition and no one really noticed....

Since then I made up this little warband of 'less martial' figures who then sat on the top of my bureau to gather dust and cobwebs (literally), whilst I worked on other projects (my Elven Exiles are growing apace).

I've always been meaning to properly build up the world of Pūrvachāti much in the same way as I did with Lychgate last year. In fact, the roots of Pūrvachāti started out quite a few years ago, beginning with my love of the ancient ruins of India and Thailand and their contrast with the more contemporary structures seen in the countries' today.

Originally, I intended to paint these guys in very subdued colours in a similar palette to the Dutch Masters. However, now I'm more leaning towards something more impressionistic, something of a grubby riot of colours.

Anyway, until then....

Nu Metal - Possible New Project

 

Okay, so today, because the weather was rather nice, I visited my local zoo with the Runtherd and it got me all inspired because I saw lion tamarinds (that look just like Jokaero), licky skinks (which remind me so much like the old 40k slann models) and capybaras (because they're my favourite animals).

 

Now, the cause of this inspiration? Well, way back into my childhood, whilst my sister was into Sylvanian Families, I, being something of a tomboy, was more captivated by Battle Beasts (along with Monsters in my Pocket - the gothic 80's version of Pokémon). So, in the meanwhile before my super secret project starts, I'm really tempted to do some kind of space menagerie; with a slann, a Jokaero, and a whole host of other anthropomorphic races (I really want to make some kind of space capybara, maybe based on a Skaven model), because that's the kind of mad thing they used to do back in the Rogue Trader days.

 

Does anyone else have any other animal ideas to anthropomorphise into the gothic darkness of the 41st millennium?

Nu Metal?

Okay, so it really has been a long time since I've worked with metal miniatures and with a super secret project I have coming up soon, I thought it would help me to get back into the groove of converting metal.

 

So this is Inquisitrix Inlatura 'Lat' Balaur, a very very simple conversion with a little greenstuff.
