Warhammer 40,000: Building on a Budget

Miniatures Wargaming as I and others have said before can cost a lot or less on preference. In my case, I like building things on a budget. As such, much of my current Warhammer 40,000 Orks army is built upon practicality.

A recent example: my Killa Kans:

Finished: SD Gundam Unicorn

Again, it's been a while since I posted here in my corner of the Universe. I had a lot to deal with in real life, with build and paint commissions left and right. Every now and then though, I manage to take care of some personal projects like this one:

A SD Gundam Unicorn!

WARHAMMER 40,000: (ORK) BOYZ BOYZ BOYZ

It's the monsoon season here in the Philippines. And that means I'm staying indoors for most of the day. 

It's a good thing, at least for me. I have a few Ork mobs waiting in my queue so you know what that means: PAINTING TIME!

So in the past couple of day, I had 2 mobs of my boyz painted up and ready for battle! Firsy up are my 'Ard Boys:

Finished: Ultramarines Honor Guard

Whew!

As I say often here, another day, another kit finished.

And what we have here is an Ultramarine Honor Guard commissioned for my neighbor (and Warhammer 40,000 nemesis). This was my first time trying out Finecast and I say it was a great experience. I'm hearing a lot of negative about Finecast, with bubbles, miscast and all sort of other stories about their minis. Luckily, this Honor Guard came with just a few imperfections that I easily remedied.

Finished: Squad Barrachus of the Salamanders

As I always say here: another day, another kit finished.

A 5-man Combat Squad I speed painted in under 6 hours. I made them to fill up my 500- points Salamanders Space Marines Combat Patrol.

This is Squad Barrachus led by Sgt. Barrcahus (Mr. T. reference hehe) armed with a bolt pistol and power maul. The rest are plain old 'bolter Marines.'

Finished: Scratch built Warhammer 40,000 Ork Deff Dredd

I've been bitten yet again buy the plamo bug and here I am finishing plamo and minis left and right.

Just finished my Scratchbuilt Ork Deff Dredd today. Its mainly made from a Korean SD robot kit (called 'Omoroids'), an Ork Deff Kopta and a whole lotta other bits.

L/R Customs bags a win!

Our crew bagged 3rd place at Figure Realm's 2012 Swimsuit Competition.

Finished: 1/100 MG GPO1 in Maintenance

Another day, another finished kit!

This time its a Bandai 1/100 scale Master Grade GPO1. It's one of Bandai's early Master Grade kits. An indication is that absence of a full inner frame. What's there is a full frame for the legs and a full detail/transformable Core Fighter.

World's Smallest Haro ???

Been VERY busy these days with all the personal projects and commissions coming in as of late.

but well, during my breaks from building kits, I usually come up with stuff like this:

Life Update: Cebu Aftermath and Commissions

Again pardon the lack of activity here. Been gone for a few weeks because of *ehem* business. I had the opportunity to visit the island of Cebu to meet-up with my partners in crime over there. It's about an hours travel by plane or about 24 hours by boat. It was a great trip; Cebu is much cleaner and more beautiful compared to most cities here in Luzon. The people are friendlier too. And the food (especially the lechon) is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

I heard there's a Tamiya Factory there too.
