Weekly Finds #69

Despite my brain being completely fried from work, I've managed to amass a large collection of twelve articles this week. They range from tutorials on sculpting all the way to the correct movement of vehicles. This week also sees the release of the much awaited expansion for both 'Nids and Space Wolves. It looks like I may be collecting a non-mechanised Space Wolf army... time will tell of course.

Servo Skull Collector by Jakob Rune Nielsen from miniaTEXTures - This miniature oozes with individuality. I can just imagine the servo skull collector being right at home in a John Blanche painting. It even has a small shield on his should like many of Blanche's own miniatures.

Ork Thunderhawk by Loken from Apocalypse 40K - This is an amazing scratch-build by Romeo from Battlefoam... yes you read that right, scratch-built. I can't not look at this and think Thundaork. Since seeing this I've been tempted to start collecting an Orks army just so I can scratch build all sorts of Orky things. As well as an excuse to buy an Ork Kill Busta Tank.

Building Backdrop by Jakob Rune Nielsen from miniaTEXTures - A WiP that has me thinking of relatively cheap ways to add lots of terrain to the table. Particularly terrain that blocks line of sight. This is something that tournament organisers and game store owners should take a look at. Especially, since most tables have maybe one or two piece of terrain that offer skimmers and flyers any form of cover.
