From beyond Black Fire Pass...

Some old lead and some recent acquisitions-
Diving into the boxes and bags in the farthest corners of the cupboard I found a few pieces that I hadn't seen for decades and finished them up over the last few days. These Orc, Goblins and Undead are a mix of white metal miniatures from various years but all hold up well when together. The Fanatic was always a favourite of mine after seeing it in the old Armies book in Kev Adams' army- it is a solid base (pre-slotta) from 1984. The peg legged orc is old piece from 1988 sculpted by Kev Adams- I've added one of my recently produced grotesque shields to his back. The Goblin champion is another Kev Adams sculpt but was released recently by Crooked Claw.




These undead are all North Star range bar the central figure which is an old 1983 solid base Zombie from Citadel's Dungeon Monsters Starter Set. It needed a lot of love after being painted in thick enamels.

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.
