Once again, very inspiring! Our recipes for converting World Eaters Terminators are virtually identical, so these would look right at home in the 4th assault company. You know, just in case you don't need them anymore Any ideas for the weapon in the Captain's right hand? Oh, and were did you get that armoured loincloth thingie on the ninth model from the top (the one with the Khorne icon as his helmet crest)? Is it from the Storm Vermin kit?

As always, I'm thrilled to see more!

Its always an Honour to hear from the Hunters brother. As for the bit imnot actually sure where I got that Kraut, I think it may have been from an ork? I tend to browse Hoard o Bits and buy really random bits and pieces. Lol. That Icon bearer is actually my 2nd favourite terminator. I cant wait to sort out some meaty lightning claws for him and his brethern. I still need to add the Khorne symbol to his forehead as well. Deimos (my fav) will be getting a sword of some description. I'm thinking of arming him similarly to Abaddon which would mean turning his fist into a claw and adding the twin bolsters somewhere.

Cheers

Hmm, you may want to consider a Bloodletter sword for Deimos - or even better, one of the swords from the Bloodcrusher kit. Those make awesome (daemon) weapons for officers - I used one with a Khorne rune as its handle for my Raptor Lord Charun (see my sig, although I believe you already saw him here or on TOS).

Just tacked together a squad of Lightning claw Termies myself. Termies are always a treat to build! If only they were just as much fun to paint...

Yeah I was thinking one of the Daemon swords or maybe the sword from the Chaos Lord on Manticore. I'll have a look and see what I can find. And yeah I saw Charun over on ToS great looking model. I'm actually a little concerned about painting these Termis. Gonna paint up the rest of the Zerk squad before starting any of the other units. Deimos will be last probably so I can perfect my technique and paint him as well as I can.

The champion sword from the Bloodcrusher kit is looking extremely brutal! So brutal, in fact, that I did not yet dare use it on an actual model I am saving it for some special project. But seeing as Deimos is probably going to be your army's leader, it might just be a great choice for him. The Manticor Lord and all his bits are admittedly also very nice, too!

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I have only painted one of my WE Terminators as of this writing. He turned out reasonably well, but - like you - I am saving the truly spectacular models until my prowess at painting is big enough -- I only hope I will eventually have a go at them instead of being afraid of painting them forever

I'm looking at the Bloodcrusher Champ sword and I am very much liking what I see. I'll get round to painting soon. I have to! I've been on such a build frenzy this weekend that I'm running out of models
Speaking of which...

Look who showed up to dinner......

Looking good, mate! I am still a big fan of the helmet conversion you did! It combines the best of bold worlds (sinister menace and the snarling grimace). Are the long horns at the top the ones from the Tzeentch icon that comes with the regular CSM kit, by the way?

Spot on. The long ones are from the Tzeentch icon, the curved ones are from the Soul Grinder sword and the small ones are from a CSM helmet.

Great! Those horns have been lying in my bitzbox for ages without an apparent use. Now I at least have a good idea what they might be used for

Wow, four days without internet and I miss almost three pages of scratchbuilt goodness!

I officially demand a detailed tuto for your titan's legs! (I feel the urge to give a try at a Subjugator of Slaanesh )

The DP is looking great with the armorpiece!

Hyenajoe. I'll try and sort out a more detailed step by step of the legs. I quite fancy having a go at a Subjugator myself.

Like I said I'm back at work now so updates will be a little slower. I've ordered a few parts for my Titans torso those should be here the end of next week hopefully so I can start working on it again.

I had a play around with Demios' leg design tonight and came up with this. Looking for some opinions. What do you think of the skull? Or should I go for a simple planet?

Huh, quite a tough choice... It's always awesome to see the World Eaters legion badge recreated, but the skull is also looking very nice. Both would probably work out equally nicely, can't really decide...

Sorry, I'm not helping, am I?

Two questions, though: In the first two pictures, the skull's alignment with regard to the maw looks slightly off, while it fits perfectly in the third picture. Did you change the position between the pictures or is it just a perspective thing? In any case, it's probably only blu-tacked anyway, right?

And what bit did you use for the jaws? Looking very nice!

Thanks buddy and no youre not helping Yeah its just blu-tacked at the min, I used the top row of teeth from the Defiler faceplate and the skull is from the Cairn Wraiths from WHFB
This one

Hm, I almost suspected that the jaws were from that facemask. A pity really, I love that bit far too much to cut it up

Nevertheless, it's a lot of fun to see the amount of thought that goes into every part of Captain Deimos! That's how it should be for the big man in your army!

Yeah thats exactly how I feel buddy.
Here I was just messing around with some blu tack and a couple of bits. I think I may have ti use this on a Nurgle DP in the future. Obviously with a lot more work done to it.

Everything's looking really nice, I really like your huge walker. If you did a double LR and filled the gap between them you could have a four legged walker kind of like an AT-AT.

Oh no you've started me off thinking about defilers again....lol

I say "with"! Very cool looking!

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

Can I suggest that you keep the skull, but paint the forehead as a world. It's really the best of both worlds

GiraffeX that's a pretty cool idea. With this type of leg it would have an almost catlike look to it. I think I'll stick to bi-pedal for now though.

Rawson thanks buddy glad you like.

Tarar2d2 I like that idea although due to the size of the bit (the skull is tiny) I think I'd struggle to pull it off. Looking at it again today I really like the look of the skull so it will stay. I'll try and glue it all and work on it a little more when I get home from work, after I've caught up on Game of Thrones.

A very nice start on the Nurgle DP! Just take care not to get yourself entangled with too many projects at the same time, or you'll end up just like me and never get to finish anything

On a related note, all that talking about your Chaos Lord got me so much in the mood that I had to go and build yet another one myself (it's in my WE thread, if you want to take a look). I hope you're proud of yourself!

Just had a look at yours mate. Looks good. im still wanting to see your new dread though

And if im inspiring you to go build stuff then I am indeed very proud

What is the face plate for your dread from?

Drew14, The Dred faceplate is a Defiler skull mask.

Those daemon princes are fantastic. The heads you made for them really bring out more character than the normal ones. And if you dont mind, i may steal that idea for some of my own daemon princes to come.

Thanks for looking buddy. And I really dont mind at all as long as you show your results on here.

Little text update on where Im at,
Im still waiting on a few parts getting to me from Hoard o Bits for the Titans torso but I did get another two lascannon sponsons so have finished the legs. I also received a Tau Devilfish kit today for some extra detailing for the torso. Ill explain later
Today is my first day off in almost two weeks so Im a little beat but here are a few pics Im still waiting on my order getting to me from Hoard o Bits as that has the main part of the torso but I wanted to get the basic structure of the legs done before I worked on the torso. It still needs quite a bit of detailing and the hips need finished but let me know what you think.

Tau bits in a Chaos Warhound? That really is chaotic

An exceptionally cool conversion with the defiler, though I feel the legs look a little lanky, at least when looking at it from the side...

Completly agree with you Saintspirit,
Ive added another couple of armour plates. Hopefully this resolves the skinny thighs a little.


Heres a very rough look at the start of the torso

I see it now!

i envy you
