Work In Progress

Hobby Works in Progress Articles, News & Updates

Hobby Works in Progress: the glorious land of gluey fingers, half-painted heroes, and the eternal quest for “just one more wash.” This is where projects live mid-transformation—some nearly done, others still in primer purgatory.

Here’s your look behind the brush strokes: in-progress shots, sneak peeks, stalled ambitions, and flashes of brilliance that might just kick your own project into gear.

Check in often—someone’s always building, painting, or completely rethinking their color scheme at the last minute.

My buddy Beef (hold the cheddar) stopped by the other day with a new WIP, a Ravenguard Dakka Dreadnought. He converted this puppy up good, with a bunch of solid true scale aspects, heck you can’t even tell those are sentinel legs till you see it from behind. The model kinda almost reminds me of […]

Well Jkin has been at it again. He’s taking a small break from his Thousand Sons army and working on something new. Now instead of making some Astartes look noble,  he’s afflicting a their vehicles with Nurgle’s Rot. I’m sold, because boy does it look good so far! He’s gone to town on this thing, […]

Welcome to another great work in progress post on Jkin’s Pre-Heresy Style Thousand Sons. He’s really putting a lot of work into these guys, and it definitely shows. It’s nice every once in awhile to see a hobbyist doing something for the love of the hobby, rather than what plays well- or is considered the […]

Check out these gorgeous WIP shots of Jkin’s Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons. It’s pretty amazing what can be done now with all the plastic kits out there!

So I need to get my creative juices flowing and maybe you can help.  I’ve had these converted Terminators for a few years now, and just got around to augmenting them with newer bits and such for my Iron Hands Army. Originally I wanted them to be all sweet Pre-Heresy style, but eventually I just settled on […]

I put the finishing touches on my Stormraven Gunship over the weekend, by adding some landing gear and tightening up a few details that were bugging me. When I started this project I was hoping I could make the gear long enough to touch the ground, while allowing some room for the wingtip thrusters to […]

I had been thinking about making some “Chaotic” Thunderwolf  Calvary models for awhile now.  When I saw the preview models for the Bloodcrushers a few weeks ago, I knew I’d be adding some “space wolf lords” to my Chaos army. So I just got some of the new Bloodcrushers and started converting them up. Here […]

Well true believers, I have managed to just about finish up my Stormraven Conversion. I know, I know, it took like two months but to be fair I did open up a gaming shop in there someplace! I really tried to put a lot of detail into this puppy and actually rebuilt it twice, as […]

Well I’ve been diligently working on this guy off and on for the past week or so. Here is where I’m at now. I’m just waiting on a few things from Forge World to finish it up and then post the how to guide.  Of course you don’t have to use the FW parts I’m […]

Well I’ve been diligently working on this guy off and on for the past week or so. Here is where...

Deep down inside me I knew it was going to come to this. I would fall to the sweet siren song of converting up a Stormraven, and there was nothing anyone, not even my girlfriend, could do about (trust me she tried). Going in I had a good idea of what I had in mind, […]

So far we’re up to working on the pistons and weapons for Warhound #1.  We knocked the rest of that assembly out in one night, and managed to clean and trim the weapons. We went ahead and cleaned up all the weapons I bought for both Warhounds just so we could have options to use […]

Well we were able to get more done on Warhound #1.  We’re working on the torso now, and while its not quite as hard as doing the legs, it’s still important to make sure everything lines up correctly. I also plan on going back and painting the interior. I just want to get the outside […]

Well I couldn’t help myself. Being a long time follower of all things Chaotic, when the Forgeworld Chaos Reaver  Titan hit I just had to have it. But I was afraid that he would be a little lonely by himself in my display case so I bought two Warhounds to keep him company as well. […]

Here is my WIP conversion of the new Tyranid Harpy model.   It’s basically supposed to be a flying monstrous creature, so I figured I’d base it off the Carnifex and let the rest just materialize as I go.  I’ll be working on cranking out all the special Tyranid creatures over the next few months, […]
