Thanks a lot. I'm in the process of greenstuffing him, really looking forward to handing it to my buddy on thursday.

Begel: It's from J-paints blog - you can find it in his sig.

His face on thursday: (Genuinely, anime hearts will come out of his actual face...)

How'd you get the trygon tail that tightly wrapped?

J-Paint: I sure hope so. I am really looking forward to seeing it painted - He's a very good painter, and I know he'll do his best on this.

Actually I just assembled it as is - no modification to the lower portion of the tail.

The least I can say is that I love your DPs

You're really talented, all of your realisations are particularly great looking. Bits are well chosen and you manage to give your models a dynamic look... I'm jealous...

And... He's done.

I wasn't completely satisfied with the head, so I redid it - I liked the previous one, but it was a bit too inhuman. Since the rest of the model is so monstrous, it needed something to convey that this guy has once been human.

Anyway, I'm really happy with it, and can't wait to give it to my buddy on thursday - and see some paint on it - we're having a painting night.







Notice the meathooks in his chest?

Oh yeah, I found some scans of some drawings I made a year ago - kinda off topic, but I thought I'd share them:











And a bit of "fluff" ;-)

Wow those are really good, and I like the new head!

Those are amazing drawings, and an amazing daemon prince!

I have absolutely no talent for drawing, and sometimes it makes me envious. I've been doodling since I could hold a pencil, but by drawing skills haven't really gotten better in the last.... 12 years

You talented bastard...


...make sure you get pics of it painted up for us!

These have to be some of the best Chaos I have ever seen.

Loving the models are usual brother. I want a fluffy thing
You doing anything special for base?
Peace

Thanks a lot.

Spudkins: Nope, I'm leaving the basing up to my buddy - I don't want to do something that won't fit in with what he has in mind.

Awesome sauce! I prefer the new head, I think it finishes him off nicely. Keep the updates coming.

That demon is really impressive Guita.

Fantastic drawings... wow. No wonder your models are so good.

Thanks guys.

Your welcome!

Here's the background for my crazy Nurgle Berzerker idea.


The warband of *Biiip* (Haven't come up with a name yet. ) Death Guard, a splinter group of the 4th company, is accompanied by a vile and spiteful character known as Niall Glacain, the disease alchemist (virologist?). Glacain is speculated to have once been an apothecary of the Death Guard, but now he is so much more and so much less. Ever since the Death Guard contracted the rot, he has been obsessed with refining and studying the myriads of vira and bacteria composing the rot, and composing new agents, of even more agressive strands. It is even speculated that he has developed a special viral herbicide, particularly effective against plant and fungal based organisms, such as orks.

One of his most terrifying achievements is the virus known as The Strain. The Strain is a horrible bio-and neurotoxin, that attacks the neural network of the victim, effectively turning him or her into a raging beast.

++++ Adeptus Biologicus Scientifica ++++

Observations gathered from a wounded Adeptus Astartes of the Imperial Fists chapter, infected by the Strain.


Phase 1: The patients eyes start to glaze and stare wildly, while beginning to talk incoherently

Phase 2: The patient becomes agressive, and throwing unprovoked fits of rage. *Physicians note - restrainment is strongly advised*

Phase 3: The patient becomes unconscious and does not respond to stimuli.

Phase 4: The patients muscles begins to bulge and swell, beyond the Astartes already imposing physique. The patient is still unconscious, albeit showing signs of unease and troubled dreams *Physicians note - interesting - do Astartes dream?*

Phase 5: A sickly colour begins to spread on the patients skin, while the musculature swells even further. In some places the musculature stretches beyond the capability of the skin, ripping the skin open.

Phase 6: Two bony appendages begin to rip open the skin on the back, protruding out, like a Mantis Mantodeas (extint creature of ancient Terra) raptorial legs, with razor sharp and spiny blades at the edges. *Physicians note - By the Emperor, what is this madness? *

Phase 7: The patient awakens, showing incredible strength and agression. The eyes are completely white, as if the pupils have disappeared. The patient is completely unable to communicate to or with, using only howling and growling sounds. The patient is to be terminated.


Note: Later studies of Imperial Guardsmen have shown that they perish between phase 3 and 4 - their metabolism seems unable to cope with the physical transformation.


*Physicians note;
I have never seen any virus or bacteria do anything like this. By the Emperor. The patient managed to rip out of his steel chain restraints, and ravaging the entire lazaret, ripping anything in his path apart, and killing 21 attending medicaes before being put down by Astartes guards. The patient took over 5 bolter rounds before slowing down and a further few to kill. The bony appedages on his shoulders seem to have bonded with his bones, muscles and neural network, allowing him to use them as flaying and cutting weapons. A terrible sight indeed. The patient furthermore seems to have grown even stronger than an Astartes, and becoming even more immune to otherwise deadly wounds. It was as if he was a walking corpse, however, none of his motor skills had seemed to perish, and he seemed to react even quicker in combat than any Astartes I have seen. By the Emperor, if I had not seen this patients plight with my own eyes, I would have not believed it. Now I fear for my own life, since I have gotten word of the Inquisition being summoned to investigate any parties involved in the treating of this patient.*

++++ Adeptus Biologicus Scientifica ++++


Glacain uses The Strain as a method of creating relentless and savage shock troops, used in assault. He unleashes the strain on any Astartes captives, be they loyalist or traitor, transforming them into mindless killing machines. These have been sighted in Heresy Era Land Raiders, ramming into the front lines and being unleashed, throws themselves into the midst of the fray, caring not what they kill. Sometimes following them are huge hulking beasts, easily twice the weight and size of an Astartes, with muscles barely contained by flesh. They have no hands, instead having huge blades and weapons grafted directly onto the stumps of their arms, flailing wildly. It is speculated that this is the final state of the strain, contorting the victim even further, but no evidence has been gathered of this.

On the battlefield, The Strained Ones (a nickname given to them by the sparse few to have survived an attack) are to be avoided at all costs - they wreak havoc and can outfight even the Astartes.

I have already begun a couple of The Strained Ones - they will be using the rules for Khorne Berzerkers, and a Skull Champion will be represented by the brute I described - this model is based on the crypt horros from Vampire Counts.

Cool idea! Knowing your work, it should yield excellent models. As to bringing down The Strained Ones, might I suggest cutting off their limbs?

OooO! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Well, I've just finished my new Plague Berzerker champion, powerfists and all.







As you can see, he's a big boy. He's based on a crypt horror, with lots of cutting, reposing and greenstuffing. I deliberately made the greenstuff on the skin a bit rough, to give some texture.




I may have found the obliterator I'm looking for. Tue Kaae, several times GD winner and former GW sculptor, is a regular at my local gaming club. He has been doing some true scale marines some time ago, and kindly allowed me to cast up a few parts, to use as a base. He's very WIP, but you can see the size I'm going for:

Truly amazing stuff!

I'm very new to sculpting, and I am curious what tools do you use when sculpting greenstuff? Also, what is your technique for making the straight pieces that were used for the bandages and the GS that wraps around the daemon prince's whip?

I like the champion scythe claws! Its all looking awesome, can wait to see it painted.

Daaaaaaaaaamn, that is some kickass sculpting from both you and Tue Kaae,

Very cool work on both new offerings. Think you're going to have to scale up the head to make that Oblit look right.

The berserker looks fantastic. I'm really excited to see how the rest of the unit turns out.

nice work, of course, I especially like the berzerker's left hand blade.

Quick question about the last demon prince. How cured was the GS when you wound it around the whip? I was going to assume that it was completely cured, and kept pliable by its thinness, but there appears to be some mellowing on it, which means that's not the case.

I mean, you must have let it cure somewhat, right, or it would have been to much of a pain in the butt to work with, right?

Your champion is amazingly cool! even just looking at it without paint is a joy! :-) I can't wait to see you paint it in your signature style you do so well!

Nerdfest09

Man, I'm loving that champion. Suitably grisly.

This thread gets better and better each week. Peace
