Alessi are usually amongst the first Karists to arrive on a new world, moving quietly amongst the populace for some time spreading their faith and gathering recruits. Multipart, plastic model, sculpted by Dave Whitaker and studio model here painted by Angel Giraldez.

Here is another competition piece. The challenge was to make a building out of nothing but scraps. I made this ramshackle water treatment plant out of pieces of a printer and an old cassette deck, amongst other stuff. Turned out to be a win 🏆 1st place! #scalemodel #trashbash #scratchbuild #wh40k

Another modeling article from the archives: Back in 2020, Iain made these alien trees using plastic Christmas baubles and hot glue! See how it was done here - www.thecommguild.com/roller/theco... #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop

A little tech support... Rogue Trader-era Squat Tech Priest, bought on eBay 20 years ago and dug out a while back for something different to paint. #PaintingWarhammer #OldHammer #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K

The Hunter War Mech, a robot unit for the Epirian Foundation in Maelstrom's Edge. Multi-part plastic kit, painted by Golem Painting. #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop

Another old terrain article from Iain - back in 2017, he put together a plantation dome using components from the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprues, some foamcore, aquarium plants, and a plastic salad bowl! Check it out here - www.thecommguild.com/roller/theco... #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting

The Niimbus Battlesuit, a lightweight suit utilised by some Champions of the Artarian Remnant in a scouting role. Plastic kit sculpted by Anvil Industry and painted by Todd McNeal. #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop

Another tutorial from the vaults! In this article, Iain shares how he made some military storage buildings out of storm drainage channel and detail components from the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprues! www.thecommguild.com/roller/theco... #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop

While the original Maelstrom's Edge rules are currently out of print, you can grab the V2 Beta rules for free from the Maelstrom's Edge website: www.maelstromsedge.com/118/Trial%20... youtu.be/w6naSGYmlWs #MaelstromsEdge #Tabletop #MiniatureWargaming

Time for another article flashback! In this walkthrough from 2017, Iain shows how to make sci fi buildings using modular storage trays, with detail components from the Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprues. Check it out here: www.thecommguild.com/roller/theco... #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting

If you see this, RT something with fire 🔥 A while ago, in a random fit of madness, I made a light-up grill from Maelstrom's Edge terrain sprue components and a battery-powered tealight candle... #MiniaturePainting #WePaintMinis #Tabletop #MaelstromsEdge

Da Harvesta! Kitbashed Ork Battlewagon, cobbled together back in 2011 from a Land Raider and a Chimera, a few assorted bits and pieces and some plasticard. #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer40K #Orks

A plastic model kit from a simpler time! This multi-option gun carriage kit was produced by PDC Gaming through Kickstarter back in 2013. We have what we believe are the last remaining sprues in captivity, available while stocks last. Grab them here: www.maelstromsedge.com/medge/store....

Some old terminators, from my commission conversion day... A Black Consuls Librarian (commission from 2007), and a Space Marine Chaplain, Space Wolf Lord, and Grey Knight Champion from 2005 (well before there were plastic options for any of these!). #Warhammer40k #PaintingWarhammer

SecDef Rapid Intervention Team - multi piece resin models, also available as STLs for 3D printing. #MaelstromsEdge #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop

Robot! Build from plastic tubing and guitar string, with a plastic bead for an eye. I had originally intended to build an army of these to run as Necrons in Warhammer 40K... but then I didn't do that. #PaintingWarhammer #MiniaturePainting #Tabletop #Robot

Once upon a time, I built a stompa from two rhinos and a metric crapton of plasticard. Sold it on eBay, so as with so many of my conversions from back in the day, I'll likely never know how it looks painted... :( #Warhammer40K #PaintingWarhammer #Kitbashing #Orks

Forsaken Chieftain, command model for the Broken in Maelstrom's Edge. Resin model sculpted by Anvil Industry, painted by Maz Wiernikowski. Aso available as an STL for 3D printing!

Some Iron Wolves Space Marines, painted back in 2012-2014 for Adepticon. #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer40K #SpaceWolves #Tabletop #MiniaturePainting
