Hello all,

I thought I would share some of my work on my skaven army as it is progressing. This is my newly finished Hell Pit Abomination! I am planning on another one, and any comments or improvements would be most welcome! Thanks all and enjoy!

Yuck!!!! What a gross-looking Abom!!! And I mean that in a good way

Wow, good use of the Chaos Spawn bits. I hadn't thought of that.

This is one of the most repulsive models I have ever seen. It is a truly hideous piece of work. Your painting and modeling work is phenomenal.

I like the blending of the flesh tones. It all flows very seamlessly.

Fantastic, brilliant!

gods it makes me wish I was collecting skaven meself, so I had a somewhat legit reason for stealing this...

I mean, this'd make Blanche go sob in a corner

Kill it with fire! It's absolutely fething disgusting. I mean, the conversion work and painting is great, but oh my god...

You certainly got the idea of a 'hell pit abomination' perfectly. It's absolutely blood chillingly frightening. If I ever played you, I'd probably have to throw up afterwords, if I actually made it through the game. Take that as a compliment.

Hivefleet, its a masterpiece!
Easily the best one ive seen to date.

Dont want to be cheeky, but any chance i can use that as a base for a HPA?
Im guessing its Rogre, corpse cart and spawn parts?

Excellent work man. Love it. Only one critique...




...it should be BIGGER! Not a serious critique at all by the way. Seriously, great stuff.

That thing wants to make me barf, poop and have a hemorrhage at the same time. Thank GOD I never have to face that

Beuatifuly converted with a paint job that amkes me feel very inadequate! Certainly captured the feel of the unit in the work.

Frakin class!

Thanks for all the kind (?) words!

I am glad my monstrosity can cause you to lose your lunch!

For those interested, I have opened a blog on my skaven army, and where i am with it, so please go check it out!

Love it!

Damn wheelchair monsters. They get all the best parking spots.

For those of you who were curious, or wanted to make your own, feel free!

This is how I made it : 1 Box of Rat Ogres, 1 Corpse Cart, 1 Box of Spawn

Assemble the basic cart. You dont need to put anything other than the axle, wheels, floor on first.

To build up the Abomination, shave off the legs at the crotch on the spawn torso's...but assemble them complete. Do not put any heads or bits on yet. Glue one torso on top of the other. Glue the screaming victims/zombie pile to the back of the HPA.

Take the torso of the rat ogres, and lay them down on the floor of the cart to provide a shape for the slug body. (so you dont have to use a ton of green stuf to build its 'trunk')

OK! Now its time for the fun bits...use the spawn arms since they are better designed and look more realistic than the rat ogre ones. Use rat ogre heads, and maybe some of the clan rat ones (that is what i am doing for my next one)....add in random mouths / eyes for gross out factor.

Once everything is assembled in place, use green stuff to blend the whole model together. I used a fair amount to add fur and so forth, about half a pack, so be warned!

Now, i wasnt able to add in any of the skyre mecha stuff like i wanted to, but I like the way it does look very Frankenstienish. My main inspiration was John Carpenters "The Thing"...go watch that movie for some inpiration when it comes to the beasties of Hell Pit!

Thanks all!

love it! looks real gross . very good! great work.

Repulsive - well done!

Its looks excactly like a model gamesworkshop would sell IF they started to produce Hellpit abominations
...wait a second... *gasps*
