Greenskin Grotesque White Metal Shields...

This last weekend on a trip down to Cancon 2017 in Australia, I picked up the first set of white metal casts from Eureka Miniatures and am very happy with the results.
If you are interested in purchasing sets please get in touch via orders@limumworks.com. A set of 8 white metal shields is $10AUD + shipping.
These are the first release- Grotesque Shields 01- and I am working on a number of other 28mm scale Oldhammer inspired pieces.
See previous posts for some painted samples of the resin prototypes.

Orctober...

An update on my sculpted and 3d printed shields- Here are a couple attached to some of the Crooked Claw Kev Adams sculpted goblins. The goblins are classic sculpts which are being produced along with an extra range for the Greenskin Wars Kickstarter campaign.

Reworking the Grotesques...

With the 3d printer back in action, rebuilt, focused and performing well I'm back on the grotesque shields making some small updates and adding new designs. I plan to have a set of 8 in total with casts in resin or white metal for the goblin horde.

Oldhammer Goblin shields...

Initial tests of new shields sculpted in ZBrush and printed on the B9 Creator. I have around 10 variants planned- great for a classic Oldhammer Goblinoid rabble. Also a sprue of helmets and some tests for a Chaos Dwarf sculpt.

Narcissus...

Being a big fan of the original Alien film and the special FX of that era I have always been impressed with the design of the Narcissus shuttle. It is iconic and elegant with its' wedge shape kludged together with 70's model parts. This is a 3d print from my b9Creator from a model by aaskedall (Thingyverse) finished with acrylics and measures about 60mm long. It is not completely accurate but nice detail and relatively convincing at that scale.

Old lead, new resin...

The printed backpacks cleaned up and drilled to mount on the Rogue Trader marines...

Printing...

I am working away on a bunch of old Rogue Trader pieces- Marines and Renegades. After digging out the old lead and purchasing a few additions to the collection online I've found I am short on backpacks. The old lead packs are great but with some loose details and the expensive prices they now fetch on the second-hand market I thought I'd print my own based on the old design. Rough modeling in Maya and some work in ZBrush and the .stl files were ready to go. I've done a few variants...

Also here are an array of mines I designed to use in a terrain piece and some other bits I will be adding. More to come as I prime these and put them to use.

Thunder Warriors...

Some of my favorite minis are the old Rogue Trader era metals. The first Space Marine I picked up around 1991 was a Marine in Thunder Armour along with a Crusade Armour marine- see below. I've always liked the John Blanche artwork for the Unification Wars depicting these hulking proto-marines. With those images in mind I started to put together something that could do them justice...

These prints are done at 30micron resolution from a B9 Creator. The design is based on the old Crusade Armour Bolter with some modifications.
