Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Hell Talon
I have a weakness for airplanes. I think it goes back to my childhood when I made plastic Airfix kits and hung them from my bedroom ceiling. I used to try to shoot them down with a torch.
Anyway, here is my latest kitbash, a Chaos Hell Talon. I kitbash rather than buy Forge world because (i) I have a limited budget and (ii) I enjoy the challenge of making something unique.
It is not quite finished. I am still waiting for my emblems from Forge World and I have to add some bombs.
It is now in playable condition.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the Jedi Starfighter is it not? Nice idea for a Hell Talon, I must say!
ReplyDeleteNice kitbash indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin and Geek,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your kind remarks,
John
Yes, it makes for a convincing 40K flyer even if it also looks clearly Star Wars like. For Apocalypse exactness isn't necessary, IMHO. More's the better and since most of us aren't independently wealthy conversions like this are the way to go rather than spending thousands on Forge World.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I wouldn't have known it was SW unless it was mentioned! Very convincing.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteYou are having way too much fun!
Isn't retirement great!
All the best!
