100 thank-yous, MaxMini alternate heads, and a sneak peek.


The 100 thank yous go out to the 100 followers of this blog, a recent occurrence here at PaDA.  Thanks to each of you for your input, it helps the creative process immeasurably.  Inspiration is key to sticking with a project and all of you add to that inspiration.  It's amazing what a community can add to an experience.

I recently found that my favorite bits seller (Ebay's Hord O Bits) started carrying some of MaxMini's conversion bits, including the heads I use for the Blood Pact.  So I ordered a few extra bits and bobs since I wasn't paying international shipping.  I picked up their Steam Knight Helmets for use as some Night Lords with particularly old armor, and some Skull Tribe Helmets for some skull faced Night Lord action.  Unfortunately it seems the Skull Tribe heads are a bit small for the Astartes frame, so they may find their way onto a Blood Pact honor guard.

(The sneak peek is special 100th follower event where you can see the cluttered workstation in the background of the pictures below.  Enjoy the mess. :) )

  1. Those heads do work well... I might have a few extra when I'm done building my terminators if you need more. And I agree on the Hord O Bits shout-out.

  3. Well, aren't you just Mr. Popular? Not hard to see why, either; I suspect you may be familiar with every bit known to man, EVER. Enjoy your milestone!

  4. I've always wondered what those heads would look like on a Marine body. The worry for me is the scale not looking right. I look forward to seeing the painted results!

  7. I think that other than the bottom two pictures, which look like Ork skulls, I think those Skull Tribe heads look really good on Marines, not too small at all.
