That would be interesting indeed. Not heard anything from FW yet myself but that means nothing.

Last night saw me getting frustrated with wings and claws.

But you guys asked for it so here it is..............




Automatically Appended Next Post:
I've not scarred the body up yet or made the 2nd wing so will be on with them tonight.

To get the wing and claw to fit the pose I have had to do some reconstruction of the joints and use a chunk of GS (thankfully it adds to the Nurgle feel) just to get the dynamics right. I am going to add a touch of GS to the wings once complete with pustules etc but need to see it all together to judge were these will go.

As for the head I am in a dilema so as always will ask for advice from you guys.

The standard Heldrake neck is fine but is bending the wrong way for my model. I can't heat and bend it the way I want so was toying with using a Terrorgheist neck from WHFB. I have a Mawloc jaw that I am using with the head and something quite cool IMO for the the head.

Should I go with the dragon neck or just accept that the darke one is not perfect? Or do you guys know something different?

Both of the wings and the body are magnetised for transport and also could be used in a different pose if needed.

Base is going to be a toxic spillage theme across the army so will make more sense when done.

C&C so far welcome as always

...climbing a tower...?! AWESOME!

It looks great so far mate. What exactly is wrong with the neck?

it bends up if you know what I mean for the gliding pose. If I could have it the other way it would look more sinister and 'lurking' on the building as if he was peering round/over the edge.

The Terrorgheist neck bends the other way but is much more animal like as opposed to the mechanical feel of the drake.

The idea came from watching Transformers and seeing a Decepticon on the building with his wings down around the skyscraper...

You could always use the terrorgheist's neck, and break up some of the armour pannels from the helldrakes neck and mash them together like it's been 'absorbed' into the flesh. Some GS would also make it more convincing.

and i'm glad someone got something good out of the transformers movies. lol!

Gonna pick a terrorgheist up through the week and mess around with it. May have a use for some other parts from it?

First 5 zombies are done and I thought id see what you guys think at this point. I've got 60 IG helmets to make the hads and will pick up plenty more legs. The WHFB zommbie bodies give the model their dynamic look but obv dont have IG fatigues on.

Is this a problem?

Do they look silly?

Should I just use zombie heads with IG bodies and helmets?

Thoughts and suggestions please people

Yeah, nightmare. Not got all the bits for the 105 yet but can prob knock 80 together. Fortunately painting them will be relatively simple.

You can always buy a box or two of IG and mix the bits with those that you already have. I did that. Zombie torso with IG legs etc. Looks good and helps extend the theme.

They look good though.

Something about the zombies proportions seem off. Might just be the camera angle, but I’m getting a bobble head vibe from them. The helmets seem unnaturally perched on their heads. Have you thought of just taking a hobby knife and/or drill to some normal IG heads to zombify them up a bit?

The drake is looking very nice, love the tower base idea.

With zombies the GW ones just don't cut the mustard, it's a shame your local is a GW store really otherwise there'd be a world of alternatives. The guard shoulder pads help if you can get something like them as the join to the torso is just off somehow with the upper arms somehow being above the shoulder on the GW models. Also might be an idea to incorporate a bit more regular guard and use greenstuff etc to vary them up. Aside from that some very pretty bits in progress, and it's always good to see a drake without the horrid flight stand!

Thanks guys, you confirmed my thoughts. The heads on the GW zombies just are a bit cartoony and whilst giving the zombie/undead pose I think they just dont look right. I can't convince myself with them.

The helnets are niot meant to go on a head and trying to trim the zombie head down is a PITA so may give it up as a bad idea. I will keep the 5 as in 105 they will blend in and I will try a load of other methods. Only need to put 20 or so for GW use so may look at some non GW ones too.

In my mind I wanted to create the effect of just turned gaurdsmen so maybe Nev may be correct and I could just mutilate some gaurdsmen.

There is gonna be enough of them that the blend could work.

Was initially for an Armies on Parade board that I have in my mind but I will leave the details of that for a much further date.

Bad time guys, my dremel has died. Won't hold charge and according to the forums this is a regular thing for the stylus charger.

Can fix it with a capacitator but don't have a soldering iron so will have to get a new one. Nobody on eBay selling the unit either as it's oop.

To get that recently turned guardsmen look have you thought about combining normal guard with bits from the empire flagellants set? There are some really crazed guys in that box with lots of bear arms which should match up well. It's just a hunch but check it out I think it might work for you

Had a look at them mate but they don't work fir me I'm afraid. Gonna mix up both Guard and zombies in mismatched ways to get the total number up.

Hot a new capacitor for my dremel today so will get on with fixing that and can rock some more on my 1st drake.

Whey, my dremel lives and my Heretic choler is up so I am gonna get back on this project at the same time as my White Scars. I have some hobby energy so am gonna do the drake, more zombies (bought some more guardsmen), and get the Other FW stuff cleaned and prepped ready for assembly.

Damn shiny box syndrome....

I went and bought 2 knights yesterday afternoon so have even more in the 'to do pile'

I seriously need to get some models built and GW need to stop making new stuff.....

Gonna have myself 2 Nurgle knights as bodygaurds for my reaver....

I know I said I was going to put some more progress in but I had to make some Librarians for the Scars this week. I WILL NOT FAIL in doing the drake and maybe a few other bits this week. I picked up a terrogheist head and neck for drake which should take care of my earlier stated problem.

Pics in the week guys

Well, I promised some update of pics and tonight I've been working hard on my drake.

Not finished quite yet as I've got to do the claws and melt/bend the ribbons on the head, put the flamer in and the side wings somehow need fitting.

Tail pieces are from a mauler fiend and half the neck from the terrorgheist kit.

There has been a LOT of clipping and re posing involved in everything from the wings to the neck but I'm really happy with the result so far.

Will hopefully do the claws tomorrow and secure the head and flamer.

I'll also put some pics of the separate pieces so you can see where the joins are etc.

Finally, apologies for the sideways pics but my iPad messes with me from time to time. I'll edit the photos when I'm in work tomorrow and have them the right way.

Anyway, I'm tired and going to bed so I hope that satisfies some of you heretics out there and gives the loyalists something to worry about

Night all...

Pics have been corrected and here are few shots of the other bits with magnets and greenstuff etc.

As said above the claws and flamers etc still need putting on but the pose seems good to me.

Going to paint it in Pre Heresy Death Gaurd colours with a bit of rot and 'Nurgleness' and my base scheme for CSM.
