Subject: Banelord of Khorne - A Slightly Different Take (01/04/10 - Seriously I'm Almost Done, I Swear)
|
 |
Violent Space Marine Dedicated to Khorne
|
I wanted to wait a while, and have some actual pictures to show before starting this blog on my attempts at scratch building a Banelord of Khorne. So hope everyone enjoys.
Having been in the hobby for over ten years, I've accumulated a ridiculous amount of models I knew I was never going to get to. So after the PDF of the Banelord of Khorne was released by GW, I figured I'd try scratchbuilding something bigger than a tank, and use all those unopened models I had as well.
While a scale accurate Banelord Titan would have been impressive, I didn't like the idea of having to lug around a model over three feet tall. So the fluff behind my Banelord would be that this particular Titan was salvaged by the Dark Mechanicum, into a leaner/meaner construct with the bound demon being more animalistic than anything else. Size wise, it should be about the size of a Reaver Titan when finished, with a profile similar to the ED209 from Robocop.
Here's what I have so far:
The battle head is made from a Landspeeder with a Leman Russ turret and some plasticard to construct the Khorne skull features.
The carapace is from some plastic shells I was able to find at work, Whirlwind missile launchers will be put in the turrets, and a large banner over the middle. I used the WHFB Black Coach driver as a totem up front.
The pelvis is a combination of the Defiler torso, a Basilisk shield, the bottom of a Drop Pod, and a FW Chaos Icon.
Upper legs (and yes I am using Fiddlestix for the frame of this thing)
One of the legs and feet.
And finally the beginning of the Doom Fist.
I still haven't started on the cannon arm or the tail, as I'm hoping to finish detailing each component before moving on to the next one. Hopefully I'll be able to update this blog regularly, so any comments or questions are welcome.

"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |

When this is done, the quality will match , if not surpass the FW one.
But the amount of bits spent on it seems to be expensive ><

Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling & started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible with legit comments. I'm on a chair

Great work so far, really liking the creative use of bits. As others have said, this must be costing you a pretty penny, but it looks like it will be worth it.
The drop pod bits are excellent, big pieces like that with good detailing are just begging to be used for conversions.
Keep it up!

Thanks for all the comment. In regards to the question of bitz I had to buy, this really was an attempt to use a bunch of kits/parts I already had lying around. Other than the FW pieces, I've only recently bought the Defiler, Landspeeder, Whirlwind and Drop Pod (although, now that I think of it, that is quite a bit ;-)
I'll try and answer a few of the comments/questions:
- I agree that the exhausts are a bit on the weedy side, contemplating adding some height to them with plasticard tubes.
- The havoc launchers will be from the Whirlwind kit with added chaos icons, and the tail will be done with heavy gauge aluminum wire and plasticard mostly.
- I'll try and get some photos of the legs from a frontal angle later today.

Here are some more shots of the legs, with a figure in there for scale sake.
Here's the leg put together, still have detail and cable to add.

Very nicely done! Will you be doing something for the rear of the claws as well? It seems a bit unbalanced right now; or will they be attached to the base? The kasrkin really puts tthings into perspective as well...
I'll eagerly be awaiting updates.

I'm glad everyone seems to like it. To answer a few more questions:
- It's definitely going to have to be pinned to the base I'm planning.
- I'd like to add a back toe to each foot, but not sure if I have a bit that would work (still trying to track one down)
