Hi all, this is my first post here, and I would just like to share my work with everyone here. Hope to hear some constructive comments!

I started dwelling into the warhammer world in 2012, right around the same time when I enlisted into the army. As of now, I'm more of a converter/painter than a player, though I do know the rough mechanics of the game and have a small thousand sons army to play a casual game.

This was one of my first conversion models, I'm really into the fluff of Thousand Sons, so I figured might as well create a daemon prince for a potential future army. Without further ado, Daemon Primarch Magnus
















sorry for the blur images, have not gotten the time to set up a proper set up to shoot him.

What do you guys think?

Managed to dig out one more old photo!

That is sweet man!
Really dig the conversion there.

Now that's a demon primarch. He looks spectacular.

Really awesome looking
Keep up the good work
Cheers
Mark

Um. Wow!

I really like it though I am not sure what is going on with his feet and cloth from the painted pictures.
Is he supposed to look as though he's kinda coming out/sinking into the terrain?

Would like some more shots from various angles.

Really though, excellent conversion

Welcome to Dakka!

Great work, looks very natural for a conversion on this scale!

Yes! that was what I was going for, the whole "my sons are dust" look, so it looks like he's rising up from the ground. I promise more photos will be up when i get my camera fixed..

More updates!

Right now, I'm working on the Daemon Primarch of the Iron Warriors.

I started with a couple of references including the cover art of the Horus Heresy Novel Angel Exterminatus (which is gorgeous I might add) and started collecting bits and here and there to kickstart the project.

Some of the items I got for this project
:Forgefiend (the layered body armor makes it a perfect torso)
:Hulk action figure (I was fortunate to go toy hunting with a friend and we found this action figure on sale and the scale was just right)
:Chaos tank bits

Here are some photos of the work in progress, again, apologies for the poor quality photos as my camera is currently spoilt (or might forever be by the looks of it)

Hopefully with this thread I will be more motivated to finish him and not procrastinate XD



shaved the hulk head and used styrene sheet to build the terminator "hood" (no idea what the actual term is called, any terminator expert would be a big help here!)



added scribings to the hood trimmings as well as playing with some bits to bulk up the hood





decided to change the scribings to sinews and more chaotic design (seems more appropriate now that he has ascended to daemonhood), and gave him his very own arc reactor!
the cables connecting to his head are made from green stuff as well as guitar wires for more variety.

Any advise or opinions would be really helpful here since it's WIP! Thanks all!

Ah of course, you've managed to pull off the effect quite well from what I can see. I was simply uncertain as the angle and cloth prevent me from seeing his feet properly.

Also;
Holy jeebus that's already looking amazing.
You're right about the Forgefiend torso being a perfect shape.

Keep up the goodness

I'm speechless. These are great keep up the great work!

Dang those Primarchs. They actually look like good representations of how a Primarch Deamon Prince would look. Keep it coming I can't wait to see him finished

This is awesome just give him some wings and he would be perfect i have to say you conversions are amazing!

I really like the way how you stood loyal to the Primarch details in the old works, giving them your own nice touch.

= INSTA-EXALT!

These are brilliant. You have put a vast amount of time and effort into it which I love! I can wait to see the second one finished!

Definitely awesome, will be keeping a close eye on this thread for more updates!

Exalted- excellent work being done here

PS> His brother Angron is on Dakka somewhere

Magnus is awesome!

Can't wait to see Perturabo finished.

Flawless!

Amazing! Magnus reminds me of one of the pillar men from Jojo's bizarre adventure

Can't wait to see more!

Oh my - these are truly awesome. You've taken the scale of the daemon princes up from what GW's models are and I think it's perfect! Really looking forward to see how Perturabo work out.

Keep up the good work

Will be following this. Brilliant work.

As a fellow Thousand Sons enthusiast... that is awesome.

I do hope that ForgeWorld releases a Magnus to go with the current Primarch range.

I liked the way you posed Magnus next to a Space Wolves dread ...

Magnus looks amazing but I have a sneaky suspicion Perturabo's going to be even better. The WIP shots are genuinely exciting. Stellar work!

Subscribed for sure, even with the mess thats going on with 40k atm... I just love seeing stuff like this bring such fond memories to the fore

The face is amazing. Can't wait to see it finished & along side his brother.
Also subscribed.

Inspiring work! That face is amazing.

:') this is beautiful

The only thing I thought looking at the first photos of magnus was 'hooves? Are you sure?' But you fixed that straight away by making him, umm, melt...

Looking forward to seeing perturabo too

Truly amazing work :-)

Fantastic model, what did you use to convert it from?

Excellent! One thing I'm missing on Magnus though are his wings.

He's a daemon- can probably manifest them as and when he chooses lol

i have to jump on the Bandwagon here, this is steller work i would like some more angels of Magnus just to see all his little detail and a close up of his face. i cannot tell you how much i love this thou great work. exalted and subbed

They're looking great, although I'm really reminded of the pillarmen from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure by your Magnus(which is far from a bad thing IMO)

Please keep up the good work

Damn, those are some sweet conversion skills. Keep it up!

Sir....take my gakking money and build me Lorgar Aurelian!

hey thanks! but yeah the hooves are deliberate as I referenced through many egyptian gods, and Khnum (the ram head) interested me a lot, with the horns growing out from Magnus chestplate, I thought I could add in some extra elements to make him more "daemon" than just a oversized primarch

Mainly bits from the tombking Necrosphinx as well as the beastmen Cygor, the hair were bits from the cauldron of blood I stole from my girlfriend XD

To be honest Lorgar was going to be my second project, but I for some reason I decided to switch it out >< sorry

thank you! but it was my first time trying to sculpt with green stuff:S ended up with lots of fingerprints, thank god for agrellan earth and pumice

Brilliant work, Magnus is spot on a Perturabo is looking brilliant, he's my favourite Primarch so I will really look forward to seeing what else you do with him.

May I ask, where you got the mesh from that you've used in the terminator armour?

very nice, will magnus have wings like his epic scale counterpart?

One small lore thing, though, isn't Magnus one-eyed (as in, cyclops-like) after he becomes a Daemon primarch?

haha, I'm surprised anyone actually spotted that detail, I use leftover wireform metal mesh, it's mainly used for sculptures

Unfortunately I don't plan on adding wings to the model

I based my Magnus on his appearance from the novel "battle of the fang", and also, lore wise, when others stare at Magnus, he's constantly shifting and changing form, so that's where Creativity kicks in XD

Ahh, nice. Then I approve of your source material.

I need to see more of this!!

Thanks for that. I've looked for mesh many times and usually you can get a small square for a not inconsiderable amount of money but I have already seen a colossal amount of wireform for a very, very reasonable price; you just need to know the right words to search for so a very big thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Really great job man your Magnus is probably the best I've seen this far and Perturabo looks just as promising. Definitively subbed here!!
Keep up the good work

You need to be sculpting for FW when they reach the Damon-Marchs

I love them both
Magnus is the best one I've seen
and Perturabo looks great so far, now was it just " oh that'll make an amazing body" and that was as far as you got or do you have a plan for the legs?

Absolutely amazing. The way you have his hands posed as if about to summon up some huge power and the size of the model/paintjob is stellar.
Magical.

Is he about to fight Bjorn in your last pic?

Any new updates?

Very awesome!

Really amazing work. I'm planning on something like this myself but looking at your work, I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board and put some work in. I'll be keeping an eye out for future work.

hey all,

been on a LONG LONG hiatus due to schoolwork and all but here's a small update.

Built this beast for a client, who requested for the wings.

Magnus Exalted






perturabo was left collecting dust after I started university,and the recent forgeworld release has got me hyped up to complete him. Hope to post again soon!

F'ing Sweet, that is.

Very cool.

Hang on a sec, I know I've got my wallet round here somewhere...

Good grief, that's incredible.

Just came across this thread as I was goggling a head for a conversion - mate that is the dogs b~#!%*&s - very, very nice work. - bet it feels worth the wait!
