We Really Need to Stop Meeting Like This


I feel like I'm blogging Geoshift's customs every other day, but a deal is a deal - you keep making awesome creations, I'll keep writing about them.

Great use of the BrickTW Terra Cotta Warrior armor and Warhammer skulls. The Death Eater mask fits well with these combos too.

Geoshift keeps finding ways to wow us with these hybrids. I can't wait to see more.

That's Not a Gun...


...this is a gun. Geoshift debuted his most ambitious (and bulky) Warhammer minifig to date. Yes, the armor and weapons seem large relative to the fig...but that's Warhammer, man. Beautiful paint and great composition.


I am still convinced that there is an opportunity for someone to craft a variety of pieces, similar to Warhammer bitz, that can be used this way in customization work. With Shapeways lowering barriers to entry, perhaps we'll see some soon.

You can see more of Geoshift's creation on Flickr.

More Warhammer/LEGO Hybrids from Geoshift


Geoshift continues to impress with his blending of Warhammer kit pieces and LEGO minfigures. Although one might think a simple application of Warhammer 'bitz' is all it takes, but attention to balance and fantastic painting techniques are what really make this figure shine.

This really makes me wonder if a custom house could provide similar parts for customization that could be added and mixed for effects like these. The sigils and insignias seem to be great additions to armor and shields.

Warhammer/LEGO Hybrids on the Rise?


I recognize that the use of Warhammer model parts in creating custom minifigures is not a new concept; however, it seems the frequency of their use is increasing...and that's a very good thing. 

Take Geoshift for example. He plans on having a series of minifigures inspired by Warhammer, and so far that series has been fantastic. The shield is the real centerpiece here and amazing through and through.

If you would like to learn more about the world of Warhammer, I recommend you start at the Games Workshop website. Although familiar with table top gaming, I have to admit I'm a bit of a neophyte when it comes to this type of wargaming and their use of detailed minitures. I'm hoping over time to become more familiar to help others find the best ways to scout and buy these parts for customization.

Darkness Decends on the Death Dealer


Geoshift shows us his latest fantastic creation - The Death Dealer. The gun really jumps out (I'm guessing it's a modified Warhammer rifle), and the details on the armor are nothing short of amazing. The Arealight helmet is a nice finishing touch, and works with the rest of the composition.

You can see this and more on Geoshift's Flickr stream. Now it's time to see if I can find that rifle...
