I've started a new terrain project, taking this as a starting point...

... with the intent of daemonically possessing it.

In a big bad way. I want to corrupt, desecrate, and thoroughly defile this thing, transforming it into a vast, grotesque, unholy altar. A monument to malice. Gapingly un-Gellared. An open Warp-pit seething with c'thullian menace. A Fortress of Irredemption.

I've done some terrain along these lines before...



The Fortress will get more of the same. More greenstuff. Spikes. Tentacles. Yet more greenstuff. Crucified marines. Greenstuff. Gaping maws. Maybe a bit more greenstuff? That sort of thing.

After some hesitation (this thing is so big it's hard to decide where to start!) I went to work on one of the missile silos, with the idea of making it into a sacrificial pit/summoning portal. Had a false start, put in some greenstuff, didn't like it, ripped it out again (no pics of that) ...

...then took some bitz from the WHFB Corpse Cart kit...


... and went back in with the greenstuff...


... and kept greenstuffing until things got out of control. Went a little further. And ended up with this:


Here's a closer look:


Say hi, boiling-in-raw-Warpstuff guy!


And now I'm off and running. This was a good place to start, I think. Helps focus the project. Gives away a bit of the ending (hint: not a happy one!), but points the way forward.

Thanks for looking. This project will take awhile -- probably several months. But I'm doing it for a friend, so I'm motivated to see it through to completion!

Very nice start tinfoil - your GS skills are impressive to say the least. I'll be subscribing

That's an excellent start! I'll be following along with this one

Looks like fun so far

Looking awesome already.

Well, I can't say I'm pleased at what you're doing to that DA fortress, but I am certainly impressed by your skills, ill have to keep an eye on this!

Thanks for the encouragement, folks. Sorry I haven't been responding more regularly.

I've been picking away at this project over the past few weeks.

First, on the Hot Tub of Harrowing, I tried creating a spillover effect...


...to generate a familiar image:


I'm liking the look, though I'm not done yet with that section. Needs yet more tendrilling greenstuff....

Meanwhile I turned to the other wing of the Fortress. Waiting for some inspiration to hit, I noodled in a few daemonic fibers...


Then went to work on the artillery turret. First I carved out some openings on either side:


Then added a few details:


and on the other side:


Then worked in some... (wait for it) ... Greenstuff!


and:


I picture those poor souls still "alive" in some sense, still sentient, moaning hoarse imprecations to the ruinous powers.

Thanks as always for looking. I'm happy to hear ideas for this project.

Nice start! Keep working on it.

M.

Man, I really love your greenstuff work! This thing looks great so far! Keep up the good work!

Love the Chaos star in the hot tub. If that's anything to go by, this will be amazing.

Are you planning on painting it too?

Great to see more of your stuff. Really like the idea of the tentacle star.

Woah! This is one awesome blog...

This is gonna be awesome. I'm hoping to do something similar down the line but more Khorne orientated rather than Undivided. Loving your work though can't wait to see more.

Wow. Glad to jump in this thread early! Love your terrain, Tinfoil.

Really nice work, keep it coming!

Inspired stuff as always!

Looks really good so far tin.

so far this is looking incredible.

the green stuff chaos star is mind blowingly good.

subscribed as I wanna see how this turns out!

Looking good. Keep us posted.

Very interesting ideas reminds me of Doom 3 and Dead Space. Looking forward to seeing more

Great stuff cant wait for end result

Yes. Exalted. I can't wait to see more.

Beautifully disgusting.

Fantastic greenstuff work! Will be watching this one with interest....

I'd say it's more disgustingly beautiful.

Thanks very much for the kind words, folks!

After a hiatus, I've gone back to work on this project.

Now I've turned to the tower of the thing, and set in on the statuary. Which (you'll be amazed and excited to hear) is being possessed by creepy crawling greenstuff! (Didn't see that coming, didja? :twisted: )



I figure, if the tower''s statues represent heroes of the Imperium girdling the fortress with the armor and iconography of faith, well, any daemonic power worth its weight in Warp is going to start by gnawing and worming its way in...


and laying claim to the stone itself, either by tooth:


or by tentacle:


... to demonstrate to the doomed worshipers of the Corpse God how hollow their "gods" and heroes are, how hopeless they are.

You will notice, by the way, that I've (literally) twisted and warped the tower walls. I have plans for up top.
.
Lots more to do on this. Next I'll probably work on the stone scroll work wrapping around the statues' swords.

Thanks for looking.

Brilliant work on those statues really gribbly.

Absolutely superb, this is really going to be great.

Really nice work, looking forward to seeing this finished .

Tinny, you tease! You know we want to see more than just those four (insanely awesome) pics
