The Brute conversion is, once again, utterly brilliant, although I am slightly flabbergasted by your immense dislike for parts of the stock kit On a related note, if you ever want to get rid of the parts that you didn't like, there is always room in my bitzbox, you know

As for the sculpting, while I myself cannot sculpt for toffee, maybe you should check out btldoomhammer's thread : It hasn't been updated in quite a while, unfortunately, but btldoomhammer is really great at getting crisp edges, which, I believe, has something to do with mixing GS and miliput. Anyway, his thread should have some pretty good advice on how to get armour plathing, trim and stuff like that right, so I can only recommend it.

And while I am a regular, one could say obsessive, reader of this thread, even I had already forgotten about that Obliterator DP: Holy cow, that thing is mean!

One question though, Rasmus: If even your regular Helbrutes are that huge and imposing, what will you do when it comes to building an Alpha Helbrute? Ohh, the anticipation!

Keep up the amazing work!

EDIT: Super awesome update on the last page, in case you hadn't noticed

@ Shrouded lord: No worries - I'm just teasing you a bit.

@ Krautscientist: Thanks a lot - I've just been looking a bit at Doomhammers thread, and there's some really good sculpts in there. I also had quite a revelation when I discovered GS/Milliput - I makes everything MUCH easier, and I pretty much use it exclusively for sculpting (sometimes greenstuff alone, for hair, etc.)

Hmmm... I wasn't at all planning on the Murderpack with the Alpha Brute, but now that you mention it, it's almost too good an idea to let go!

*sound of gears in my head grinding*

You know, I am seriously considering making q thread that gathers up all of the best works of chaos here on Dakka Dakka, I think I could probably just post half of this thread and krautscientists, oh and biohazard's. You guys are awesome.

Loving the new Helbrute but gutted as you seem to have beaten me to the punch with the claw. Haha. I'm planning on making a Murderpack Alpha and was going to use your Nurgle dread as inspiration with the sentinel legs and have plans for a claw similar to yours but mine will be more mechanical. Can't wait to see this guy with some paint on.

@ Biohazard - it seems like we do that a lot, beat each other to it - maybe we've been separated at birth?

Neat work on the hellbrute conversion.

Always great work on the conversions, and love the current paint scheme.

For sharper edges when sculpting I use a 50/50 mix of GS and yellow milliput - the real trick is to get the medium really stuck in position, sculpt and smooth it to the best of your abilities, leave it an hour and then come back and use a blunted blade (coated in Vaseline) to get that crisp edge you're after. When it's fully cured you can sand the bejebus out of it too!

Thanks for the advice - I use greenstuff milliput mix pretty much exclusively for all my sculpting, but I use a 1 part greenstuff/2 parts milliput mix - I got the advice from some great sculptors I know, and I actually much prefer that ratio - try it out.

dude just saying GW should emplooy you to design their chaos range...

I was sitting in my local gaming club last night at the paint table, and was too tired (I just started my easter vacation today - yay!) to get some serious painting done, so I borrowed a screamer from a friend there, to test out a colour scheme I've had i my mind for some time, using mostly my airbrush. It turned out annoyingly good, and very quick, less than half an hour total.

Now, be nice, and tell me that I don't need a speedpainted Tzeentch Daemon army...






This is weird - I can post new posts, but they don't show up in the thread?

They're here now - weird tho, kept trying to look... had to go to Warseer to read the post.

That's a great scheme, really striking, and doesn't look too overly airbrushed.

You definitely don't need a speedpainted Tzeentch army. No way. Nuh-uh.

Did it work?

Screamer looks lovely, though.

Dooooo IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT you do in fact need a speed painted army!

Only after you finish your Iron Warriors.

That's one nasty looking Screamer.

You don't need to speed paint a Tzeench army.


Except that you do.

Dangit, sidetracked again - the Emperor is disappointed with me. Not that it's anything new, since the last loyalist army I painted was Dark Angels in 1993. But still.

I borrowed a horror to test the colour scheme on smaller models - it works just as well, and is even quicker (about 20 mins, start to finish):





Right?

Bottom line is, I bought 30 assembled, cleaned, primed and based horrors from my buddy, along with a herald on disc and 5 screamers for next to nothing. Here's the army I'm going for (1500 pts)

HQ:
Lord of Change, level 3
3 heralds på disc, Level 3, one has exalted Locus

Elite:
3 flamers

Troops:
3x 11 horrors, irridescent horror

Fast:
9 screamers

Heavy:
1x winged daemon prince of Tzeentch, daemonic armour

I got home last night, high on the paint scheme, rummaged through my bits boxes, and found some interesting bits - I quickly knocked this prince together, he's a little rough, but It'll be cleaned up:





I've also got a balrog, that'll become a lord of change, and I only need to get two chariots of tzeentch (disc heralds and screamers) and a pack of flamers, then I'm good to go.


My apologies, Emperor - I'm sorry, but the ways of fate are changing.

Wow...now that's a Tzeentchian daemon!

Man, you just seem to have a knack (and endless bits bin) for these conversions. Would love to see your take on something not chaos-y someday. Orks and Dark Eldar seem like they'd be up your alley too.

Wooooow that's stunning kitbash there. I fear him!

Hobby ADHD - it's a wonderful thing!

The Tzeentch daemon prince is really cool, you have a good eye for creating these walking/stalking/flying things out of bitz.
I've been wondering if those phoenix wings would ever show up in a conversion somewhere...

Great work as always!

' I quickly knocked this prince together, he's a little rough, but It'll be cleaned up' I hate your effortless awesomeness. Yet another top notch conversion. Hands down the best conversion thread on the internet in my opinion. Almost enough to get me painting again.

I'd love to see how you do a step by step for those quick painted ones. I can kinda guess the process in my head, but seeing a video or step by step picture thing would be awesome.

They look good man. I can't wait to see that big eagleheaded demon painted up.

Oh Fakk! Guita rocking out Tizz Daemons!

The speedpaint scheme is delicious, and that griffon prince ...!

- Salvage Is Excite!

While I wasn't exactly in favour of you starting a Tzeentchian daemon army, that Daemon Prince is beyond awesome -- and easily one of the most inspired Tzeentchian models I have ever seen.

You know what, Rasmus: I have now come to the conclusion that you might be physically incapable of building a model that isn't fantastic -- go ahead, prove me wrong! I dare you!

Great conversion Guita. This should be a fantastic looking army when you're done.

This is going to be good.

That is one awesome Tz DP Guita, can't wait to see it completed and painted like your screamer/horror!

The Lord of Change looks cool, but are you going to Chaos-ify the eagle head with some of your GS magic? It looks like a plain eagle head that doesn't know what it's doing on a daemon's body at the moment.

Also, for the Balrog LoC, you should totally make it looks like some sort of colossal, horrifying Flamer of Tzeentch; give it multiple mouths spouting flames all over its body and stuff like that. I think that'd be really cool.

That demon prince is really looking nice.
If it's just an early WIP so far, it can only get awesome and beyond.
