The cockpit will be done, I feel I'd be doing myself an injustice if I didn't detail that area as well. I have a Sentinel pilot body now and it fits in the space a lot better than the SR turret I had in. I want to finish the main build before concentrating on that though. Any sign of your envelope yet? The Royal Mail site says it's pending delivery for the last couple days.

I can't wait till I have Deimos and his Terminator Bodyguard all painted as this pic will be retaken then.

Hrm... Toes...

One thing that would kinda fix them would be to take it from the sort of 'emu' setup it is now (two centered, one splayed to each side) and simply set the toes up so that it's two on each side. Even just splaying them evenly would help, I think.

Alternatively, though I know you don't do plasticard much, a single layer of the thicker stuff encasing the toes- even just over the top, would probably do the trick. Doesn't change the shape, just makes them feel a little sturdier.

No sign of the letter yet, buddy, sorry. But let's not lose hope just yet -- the German postal service is hardly a hugely efficient organisation at this point, so I have learned to be patient...

In other news, Deimos is still a ridiculously awesome model

I'll see if I can come up with something for the toes although to be honest I was always quite happy with them. Now you have me doubting myself!? :-D

Managed a minute amount of time before work this morning to throw a few details at the Gorehound base, so now it's Goldilocks time. Too much? Too little? Or just right? Remember there will be another Cadian behind the barrier once I get some more bits.

Assuming the first image isn't flipped, I feel like there could be some more behind the right leg (left side of image), but if you stopped now I don't think it would deter anything.

That photo with those three guys in with the Gorehound in the background just scream badass! Base looks cool, the carnage wrought by this mighty machine

I love the new banner, while the previous one was awesome, this one just seems nicer in my opinion

Moltar, behind that foot is a wrecked rhino, it's a little hard to see but will be a bit more prominent with paint.
Nashbashem,Thunderfury, thanks guys. No more to show yet as I'm nightshift tonight and tomorrow but will hopefully have progress on Monday. Or if I can't sleep tomorrow I'll try and work on it some then.

I picked up a box of Cadians yesterday to use as casualties but after looking at the kit I decided to move plans forward to build some Traitor Guard/Cultists. I have ordered a set of Scions as well to use as an HQ type unit. These pics are very early WIP so still have all the Aquila etc. The plan is to have a PDF force who have only recently thrown in their lot with the Ruinous powers so haven't fully defiled their armour yet. Also as Khorne is the God of Martial Prowess I thought some hardened veteran guardsmen would fit more than zealous cultists. Although I have built my cultists from the new DV box as well.

I like it! I feel the Cadians could do with a tad more chaosing up though- I know you're going with less defiled armour, but at the moment they look a bit too generic. I reckon paint could help though.

Here's an idea for a subtle conversion- give some or all of the troops some hands nailed to their armour- the hands of those who didn't fall to the whispers of chaos and were murdered by their brethren. Not sure what hands you'd use though- for my Emperor's Children I use Genestealer hands, but that's because I have a lot of spares. Also, they look a little large (I justify it as preservatives that the Chaos Marines have soaked their grisly trophies in, causing them to bloat to much larger than usual size as a side effect of the tainted oils).

Thanks buddy, all the Aquila and stuff will be removed and it's scary you mention hands as I have a couple of bits like that I was going to use on them. I'll get back to them on Friday I'll be going for pretty much the same colour scheme of the GW traitor guard in the Eye of Terror codex. A little different to my WE but still enough to tie them together.

Your chaos lord just looks stunning, there is no other word for it. I absolutely LOVE him. Mind if i borrow this idea for my iron warriors? :p

Thanks buddy, I'll be painting soon and he will get some colour added then as well as a few other units. And by all means borrow away.

Thank you sir!!

I really like how you used the GK terminator torso, and it just looks so good overall.

As i'm going for iron warriors, i'm thinking of doing a similar thing now, But my chaos lord will likely stand in for Abaddon

Thanks buddy. I'll be working on the Gorehounds base ASAP. After seeing Nighthunters progress on the 'survivor' I'm feel in all inspired. In the meantime I was sitting the other night and had one of those 'let's see if I can' moments. So I built a wee Eversor counts as. It's pretty rough and I'm really not happy with the head but it could work. I think anyway.





I promise there will be paint soon........probably.....hopefully........hey look a butterfly........

Always good to see the Officio Assasinorium getting some love. I like the claw and the use of the dark elf executioner head/

Thanks buddy, I quite like the way he's turned out.

So today I had these on my desk
Space Marine Venerable Dread


And these along with another box of Cadians.


Been working on the dreads tonight for a while but don't have a lot to show yet. Will get back to them in the morning and update with more pics then.

Can't wait for the new pics o.o

So I've decided to have two Dreads armed with dual dccw. In game these will provide a shield for my Alpha and the other two who will have more ranged weaponry.

Early WIP on the DCCW Dread.


2nd Ranged Dread to stand alongside Voorhees. Ignore the mess of poster tack on these obviously GS will be tidier.


And using the new Dreads Torso on the Alpha, looking to add some rib detail to the torso. It's not quite there yet but I think I can make it work.


Let me know what you think folks.

Love the head on the second one, is that a kitbash or part of the new spess wolf kit?

Overall, they look fantastic!

That Helbrute Alpha looks positively beastly. I love it!

Also, you know what would look great on one of those Helbrutes/Dreadnoughts? A short ball-and-chain "flail" weapon. I started making one out of the Chaos Terminator mace head on a paperclip wrapped in modelling chains, although I have yet to construct an arm for it.

Thunderfury, the heads are both completely kitbashed.

Squigsquasher, that's a brilliant idea and perfect for the Dccw dread. I'll have to see what I can do with that.

Great job on the Hellbrute conversions. Very characterful and entirely lethal. I love the dynamism of your posing.

Beyond tallented! I really enjoyed this entire thread! thanks for posting it all!
I can't wait to see a finished Titan! I like Khorne but the models have been crap IMO, you make it all look 110% better! The way it should look. Serious details into everything including the older terrain ruins.

Master builder!

Tinfoil, thanks buddy that means a lot coming from someone as talented as yourself.

Kelly502, thanks for checking my stuff out. On the subject of the older ruins there's another two awaiting final details and paint so expect to see them soon.

I've decided that this week is build week and the next few weeks will be paint week as I keep getting carried away buying/building stuff. The Traitor Guard will be worked on but only after I've finished a few World Eater units. I'm having to try and discipline myself as my mound of grey plastic is growing by the week.

On the note of Traitor Guard, I picked up a box of Bullgryns to go with the two boxes of Cadians and the Box of Tempestus Scions I have. I also got a heavy weapons team cheaply on eBay. It's starting to look like my Traitors could be a side army all of their own. As I've said before I want them to be very recent converts to chaos as such there won't be a lot of crazy mutations or even all that much spiky bits. I'll be trying to show their allegiance through the paint scheme more than anything. I wasn't sure how I was going to build the Bullgryns but after seeing how similar they are to the Locust Mauler from Gears of War I'm thinking a nice chain Maul and possibly some Ogre Kingdom helmets could work. Although I do like the creepy masks they have as standard.


I worked the idea of my Havocs a little more as well. Still have 4 to build but I'm happy with the progress so far.


As always comments and crits welcome.

That Bullgryn is looking wonderfully creepy. love it.

I like the Havocs too, although the missile launcher needs a bit more chaosing up. Also, I kinda think the Havocs would look better without the "bunny ears".

Is it just me, or does the Bullgryn look rather... Borderlands-y?

Please, please paint the mask up as white with a red stripe.

Loving the havocs!!!!

The ones with the Heavy Bolters have excellent poses

I'd remove the right ear on the missile dude.

Sorry for the delay in replying guys. I do have something to show tonight though. I've painted something! Haha I've base coated some Zerkers and a couple of terminators. What I want to show though is a couple more ruins and the base for the Gorehound. Still WIP but I've spent a few hours on the base, the ruins were rather quickly painted, I will go back and add a few more details to them but they're good enough for the tabletop just now.



I noticed I'd put the ladder on upside down while I was painting it.


And now onto the base and a couple of little details I've been adding.
