That daemon prince is very very nice looking! I get a very Todd McFarlane feal from it.

I can't wait to see it with some paint on it!

Thanks! I guess it's something in the daemonic smile

Awesome. I didn't notice that on the gw website when i first saw it. Did you greenstuff the entire thing or did you cut of the metal face and glue it on and then cover it with greenstuff ?

moonshine wrote:Awesome.

Thanks man!

The army on GW's website was full of interesting idea. The converted Corvus helmets were great too!

moonshine wrote:Did you greenstuff the entire thing or did you cut of the metal face and glue it on and then cover it with greenstuff ?

I've made a milliput mold, and pressed GS into it, then, once the GS was hardened enough, I cut off the face and glued it onto the leg.

Good idea, I might have to loot that.

Nice idea indeed... You'll have to show me that, later maybe (by the end of 2011?)...

Cheers!

I've missed out on a lot here, just got caught up. The Dreadnought is absolutely amazing, and I cracked up when I realized what the DP was carrying.

Not to get you off track, but waaaaayyyy back you posted some pics of Beastmen from your LatD army. I'm looking for projects like that right now, was wondering if you had anything more to share?

You won't get me off the track Skalk (unless you suggest me a new conversion idea ).
I'm glad you like the Dread and the DPs.

Here are some more pics of the Beastmen (sorry they're just black primed, and I don't know if you'll see all the details).



Basically they're a mix of catachan, beastmen and WoC marauders. I've add GS hair on the shoulders and on the belly (for those with naked catachan torsos).
I hope it will help you.

Great work on the Prince mate, also neat lookin dreadnought !!!

Thanks man!

Now I'll try to finish the convertions on the Emperor's Children before to start something new. I'm planning to get some Forgeworld rhino plates during the french Games Day and,why not, gather some thousand sons for my next CSM army...

On the other hand I think I might take a break from CSMs after the Emp Kids, I've been working on chaotic models for more than 2 years and need something different. Perhaps working on my SOB or my Eldars.

I think I'll post something new next week.

A la prochaine!

Joe

Thanks for posting those, glad to see they aren't ready for the Shelf of Shame just yet! I asked if you were working on them because I've finally started on my own Cult army and I'm looking for ideas to -steal- draw inspiration from.

I really like the idea of Beastmen w/ Lasguns. Takes me back to the Rogue Trader / early 2nd Ed. days.

I'm going to give a few of those a try (Beastmen conversions). I have a bunch of Chaos Marauders that I'm never going to use in WFB again so they will be finding a new home in the Cult as well.

I'll be back! Thanks again.

I have no shelf of shame, just the Dark Drawer of Models To Be Painted

I'll check your army regularly, just in case I'd see something familiar

I posted a link back to this thread on my blog because your stuff is awesome.

I'm going to do some modeling this weekend, and I just happen to have some Beastmen bits kicking about. I'm looking forward to seeing where the Corrupting Powers guide me.

Hi Hyena,

Great job on the DP, he's looking great.

Good job with the doom siren on the lascannon Although RSjake is right about the drilling but I forgive you with those heads, when I drilled them out for my khorne dreads exausts it was such a pain because the mouth opening is thinner than the others and I destroyed a couple, and nearly gave up

Those noise marines are looking wicked.

I have been making a noise similar to "GSDJGJSGJDSSFPFOEPFOESPFKMCSNWJUDWJ." the entire time i have been reading this thread.

From the simple switches of heads and robes on your CSMs, to that... beautiful daemon prince... gah!..., you are top notch my friend, and your work makes me incredibly jealous.

I am most definitely stealing some of your shield and helm ideas for my Marines.

Looks pretty sweet. Nice use of the Dark Angel chapter upgrade. As a DA player Im also thinking of one day making a fallen army.

Thank you guys!

I consider that seeing my work stolen is the best compliment, so if you give a try to some of my techniques, I'd be honored to see the result!

I feel shameful for not posting news for a month, but to be honnest I've considerably slowed down my conversion production rythm.
The main reason is the use of GS: I have a baby girl who's one year old now and she's exploring our appartment and I don't want her to get close to any GS trace she could accidentaly inhale or swallow. And since I can't get a special room to work on my models I'm forced to wait for those moments she's not home so that I can clean the area before she returns; the problem is: there's not many of those moments...

So I'm painting more than converting, trying to get more models definitely out of the sinister "Dark Drawer of Models To Be Painted"
(my Wolrd Eaters warband is nearly fully painted which is a huge victory for me!).

I'll get some time next week to try to finish the converting job on the Emperor's Children, and since I'll be at the french Games Day this week end, you might see new pics soon (not necessarily my work but cool stuff I expect).

A la prochaine!

Ha, don't you forget about the "Baleful Wardrobe of Models to Be Built"!!!!

Good luck though, some paint can never hurt...

How about the Games Day? Did you enjoy it?

Wait! Who told you about this one?!

Well, the Games Day was fine (but a little overcrowded IMHO). I must confess I've spent more money on the FW stand than I planned to do, but I guess it's part of the game .
There were some great models there for the Golden Demon and the Armies on Parade contests.
Here are some pics (sorry if they appear to be blurry, but it was really hard to get close enough from the exposition shelves to get a decent pic without getting bounced by some guy's overweighted backpack...










This Talos won a Golden Demon in its category (warmachines):


And this was one of the most incredible piece of conjversion I've ever seen: a Mechanicus War Train!







3 m long!

I also discussed with the FW Chaos Dwarf sculptor (a really nice guy!) of the development process at FW (which appear to be different from GWs process).
My only regret was to get back home without the Scrap Demon (one day, it'll be mine...one day..)

BTW Yggs, your model is safe on a shelf, waiting to be delivered.

OH MY GOD! A TRAIN! AMAZING!

FantasyBob wrote:OH MY GOD! A TRAIN! AMAZING!

Curiously that's exactly what I said

I've never been to a GD and kick myself for not having gone when I lived close enough to have gone to one 3 years in a row. *sigh*

Your inspiration helped create the following:



2 of 3 are finished now and were part of my Traitor Guard list this last weekend. They crushed all that stood before them... which was no one. I ran them as Conscripts and because of where they deployed (complete opposite side of the table from the objectives) they took 1 round of shooting, a handful of casualties, and then summarily ignored by the opposing force for the rest of the game.

Looking forward to seeing more greatness from you.

Good job on these mutants Skalk!

I really like your paintjob on the skin
The one with the chainsword, particularly, looks really vicious!

I still don't have much time to work on my models but here are some news:

Wolf the Defiler (my World Eater defiler) is now fully cabled and will receive extra armor plates and some plasticard blades. I also got a Microart studio oval base for him:


During the Games Day I purchased a Plague Hulk of Nurgle (a fantastic model but why do they have to leave such big chunks of resin on it?) it remembered me of my love for Papa Nurgle and you should see some Death Guard stuff in the next months.

I should get some of the necrosphynx bits soon (enough to build the humanoid part of the kit) and I will try to mount it on a defiler chassis (after it will have spend enough time whithin the "Baleful Wardrobe of Models to Be Built").

Cheers!

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! More will be coming as soon as I convince a buddy of mine that he's never going to paint *all* his Beastmen in his lifetime.

Hyenajoe wrote:*snip* you should see some Death Guard stuff in the next months.

I am looking forward to that for sure! Last night I fiddled around w/ a Possessed squad for my Death Guard that I've been kicking around for months. Not a lot of work but trying to see if I'm going to get back into it again anytime soon.

Thanks for all the pics, I really enjoyed looking at them.

Do you have news you can share about the Chaos Dawrves? My friend just started collecting them, starting with two units of the ForgeWorld minis and the cannon. He'd love to find out what else is coming up (so he can start coming up with reasons why he's spending his kid's college fund )

@Mastiff: Well I'd like to have good news about the Chaos Dwarves, but they don't plan to release models for the entire army list, for example there won't be hobgoblins for a long time (if there evere is an hobgoblin release). From what I've been told, they might take a break from the Chaos Dwarves after this wave of releases to work on the general development of the warhammer forge range.There might however be some sorcerer and unmasked troops releases.

Now it's time to show you some new stuff!

Yesterday I had my day off and I received all the bits I expected from the necrosphyx kit, so here are some WIP pics (I hope you'll like it)




I still don't know how I'll fill the juction betseen the back and the chassis (I have to do that before setting the wings).
I don't know how I'll call this one but something like the Soul Hunter or the Soul Eater would sound good for a Tzeentchian Soul Grinder.

I've also worked on Wolf the Defiler: the extra armor plates have been glued, I just have to build some extra plasticard blades, add some Khorne icons and chains and this little guy will be ready for the undercoat.



What do you think?

Upright Defilers have always been a lot more impressive. Problem is that everyone and their dog will be able to see and shoot the poor bugger to bits.

Love the pose on Wolf.

Love the necro-defiler, vey 1000-sons. How about flipping the wings upside down and join them to make an upside down v shape. Fit it on the back of the defiler, the downward facing wingtips facing the rear would look like barding from a horse and the opening where the tail pokes out could be filled with tech stuff. Very nice

That GUO is AWESOME!!
