Conversions, Merch, oh my! BTS #68
🕑 Added 2020-05-14 21:13:50 +0000 UTCWhat up, mini family?!
A little bit ago, I mentioned that my wife and I were going to start fulfilling the miniac merch again v.s. using something like teespring/red bubble. That way you can sell whatever you want, and also moderate the quality of the products better. We're a little behind schedule because the people we used to make enamel pins are getting hung up by the corona virus, but over here at miniac HQ, we're trying to make the most of our time.
We got a few shelves set up and my wife organized all the merch by type and size so when the store launches we'll be ready to go. We also went out to Uline and picked up a bunch of shipping materials for all the various items. We're pumped!
On the hobby side of the business, I decided it was time to start working on my own personal AoS army, which starts with a sick kitbash that I'm have a LOT of fun working on.
This is one of the more conversion heavy examples that I'm working on. This model will end up being my Kastellan of the Blood Knights, or the leader of the unit. She's female, which I'm super pumped about because you never see female Blood Knights but they exist in the lore. The lower half is Cold One Knights, the upper half and shoulder pad is Melusai, the shield is a grave guard upgrade sprue, the head is from the Coven Throne kit, and the helmet is a Black Knight helmet that I hollowed out. The next steps once the green stuff dries is to start working on various armor elements and chainmail to help the various parts flow together nicely. I'm excited about it so far!!
That's all for now. PAINT MORE MINIS!

Conversion and kit-bashing (building) are my favorit part of the hobby! Looks great Scott! Awesome 🤘🏻
Looking forward to a Miniac family brush case. Crossing my fingers! Looking good on the mod. I haven’t tried it yet myself, but I’m waiting on a shipment from Green Stuff World to get started.
Kitbashing is so much fun! cant wait to see the final result
Look into a D2G machine, worked at a T-Shirt company you can get home models for 3-5K. Super easy maintenance and they print on absolutely anything in minutes might speed things up!
Thank you for the support!
Yeah, I'm finding a new found love for conversions. It's something I wish I'd have started a while ago!

Can't wait to see all your vampires AND buy some new merch
Nice! Can’t wait for your store from home to be up and running so I can grab my shirt to rep the family In AOS I am doing a similar project. For me I’m working on a Slaves to Darkness warband that is merging the lore of AOS and Chaos but also with the lore of Fenrir of Norse mythology. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and note taking. But the ones I’ve kitbashed and customized they have been some of the most fun I have had in the hobby. So, I look forward to see your Vamp army grow!!!!
