belloflostsouls has posted this image of the new weapon option for the stompa kit. The deathroller! Perfect for the battlewagon or the stompa, I know my orks deserve one or two of these for their vehicles and the stompa when I build it!

But it would not be hard to build one of these for yourself…

Modhails space hulk project website (click on his name below to check it out) has some totally awe inspiring pieces of 3D terrain for space hulk, and he responded to one of my comments with the below. (edited so it makes a little bit more sense away from the comment discussion)

I’ll just give a few tips to get you by, until I can start working on the beast again:

-PLAN! I spent 3 months just planning what I wanted/needed, discussing how best to go about it, gathering references, collecting bits to use for scenery.
-Make sure you get your measurements straight! You don’t want to end up with corridor sections that are too large or too small… Don’t forget to figure for the thickness of the details you will add to the walls
-Realise things of this size and detail are long term projects, don’t expect to get it all finished in one summer. I don’t expect to finish this beast before 2010…
-Don’t forget this is fun, don’t let it become a chore. 

As to detailing:
-Get more reference material. The more you have, the more ideas you’ll get. Leaf throught all Games workhop publications you have, looking at artwork and pictures of terrain. Look at industrial architecture, architecture in general, etc. Get the Aliens trilogy and look at all the set photo’s. Do this all with a sketchbook at hand…
-Learn to think in layers and simple shapes. Most detail can be made by putting several layers of material on top of each other, or by combining several simple shapes. Those large vent stack, for example, are just the caps from bottles of sportsdrinks, stuck onto PVC tubing… This is camouflaged by adding some tubes and riveted bands of mayo tube foil…
-Stock up on plastic tubing of different sizes. This projects consumes tubing like crazy!
-Build a stockpile of odd bits and bobs. The most seemingly useless stuff can suddenly become awesome if glued into a space hulk at the right place and painted over. Take for example the vent stacks mentioned earlier. And the moulding along the top of the corridors with the massive tubes? Those are just plastic ice cream sticks…

Some very helpful tips in there. And I will be adding some of the extra bits he talks about to my rather HUGE stockpile of bits and pieces ready for any terrain building I do.

If anyone has any other tips, just drop them in the comment section so we can all share in them.

Recently I have been looking at genestealers in a new light. (checkout my genestealer hybrids post). But I would also wanted to add somemore genestealers, I wanted them to stand out from the standard ones everyone else uses.

So a unit upgrade is in order! Looking at everyone elses ideas has led me to try and come up with something different, inparticular how the unit upgrade is shown on the models. To this end I picked flesh hooks, why them? Well I want them for a kill team game, and they can still be standard genestealers for space hulk. So I thought about how to show the hooks. The hooks mounted on the chest look odd, and in the mouth are cool, but I have seen them done that way plenty of times. So I decided to go with them in their hands! Yep, spiderman style.

This I hope will make them stand out in games. A little bit more than if I had had simply done the hooks in mouth like everyone else.
