Painted!!! Megalith :-)
August 23, 2009
The week of JohnCon was a heaping handful of Warmachine and Hordes. I played a lot…and I painted some too. 
Submitted for your approval…Megalith
Hulk Smash!
Please ’scuse me while I rest on this rock…
Do a little dance…Make a little love…Kill Skorne tonight. Kill Skorne tonight.
This pose is so much better than the standard one.
Nice work, John. Though I look at the model and keep thinking “Khaaaaaaan!”
Great looking paint and repose. I may have to disassemble Megalith and repose him. Thankfully not painted yet.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the repose. I am NOT a repose god, but when I opened the Megalith box, it just spoke to me and said “Hey…I am trying to do you a favor here…repose me.”
The key to the repose is that the hips are nothing more than a round rod through a hole. No machine work needed. The rock was a polished rock on a magnet…the magnet is still attached and served as a shim under the rock so I didn’t have to carve up the base..lol
The arms were the only machine work required. On that, all I had to do was use a cutting wheel attachment on my Dremel and cut a slot 90 deg from the one that is in the arm from the factory. YOu have 3 choices of how to machine the slot, so you have some flexibility.
Initially, this model was going to be a full conversion that included Megalith holding a tree trunk with two tire swings holding Mannikens in the tires. I just didn’t have the time to finish it, but Mega turned out cool. Since this picture was taken, I washed the wood down a touch with a wash made of 3 parts brown ink and one part red ink. I was trying to simulate the chestnut ink that Gdaybloke is so fond of.
