Thought I might pop something here. Never sure where these things should go. But I've started a project.

The long and short of it is I'm trying my hand at converting once more and I was challenged. My friend is doing a slannesh themed army and I thought why not.

So this is my attempt.

WARNING. This rambling update will contain cleavage so if your offended by my attempts I'm sorry. But I'm trying anyway.

I'm go an start this and add pics and WIP images as I go so thanks for taking a look


Also. Sorry about the quality. Stage two. When I'm closer to completion is to get a nice camera of people think its a good idea.

Stuck with a phone right now but I'm gonna do my best





EDIT AND UODATE
Sucky photos still. But I've added a page one show off picture to let people know where I'm at. So woot
NEW UPDATE
With the release of skitari and admech. Two forces I have been hoping for since I was tiny. I thought why not. Drag them into the fold and do a dark admech force.
So I have. Haven't got to far yet. But I'll post them as I get them

Woo. Step one. Still sorry for only having a phone. Even though it's only been a day. I swear a camera is on the horizon.

So far I have the right feeling. The mix of using dark elf witch parts and chaos parts is perfect. Though in hindsight i need to greenstuff the feet if the marines. The natural pose of the models has the feet at a funny angle. But I know know so while I'm starting to experiment with greenstuff I can do that. Gas masks. Blind folds and hoods are what thinking.

I want the army to be sensual and follow the perversion of its chaos god. But be tasteful as well

Tiny update. Got my chaos lord all sorted out. What I didn't know is that specialist weapons could be different as long as they are both specialist so yay. That means for her with a power fist and a lightning claw apparently you just pick what your attacking with at the start.

Looks pretty nice!

Well done.

Nice work...

Strange, but its Chaos and chaos is supposed to be strange. Good work!

* insert raging comment about female space marines here* In all seriousness though, great work. Especially the highlights on the hair, very warpy and ethereal looking.

Caught my interest. Looking forward to seeing more.

Im liking the chaos lord model alot but it doesn't look like a lord to me as it stands. I think its more in line with being a possessed or champion. maybe think about adding size to the model some how, like with a csm back pack or something akin. Maybe even the possessed back pack with the daemon wings

Absolutely. I like her. But she does not wow like a lord should. In all honestly part of my exscuse is that I am on a time limit. I have some nice ideas for getting a keeper of secrets all done up. And I do want to keep the naga tail theme going for my lords.

I tried to give her bulk by adding terminator arms for size. But I think throwing on a backpack is an excelent idea.

Also more stuff FINALY dry. Should have taken more WIP pics

Right. Working on obliterators next. It's tough as I want there to be a theme for these models and I'm going to be using terminator models to make them. What I don't want however is for the two to look so alike that people get confused on the battlefield.

What I have so far is inspired from the space marine centurions

I took a set if terminator legs and hollowed them out so that I could fit a new set of legs inside the first. Then using some green stuff and plasticard shaped some supports and straps to hold her in the armor. Some hollowing of the chest plate to give her a slight curving by adding in the small torso I used and so far I'm happy. I'm trying to ensure my trips have shapely legs or a rump. And the walkers a torso. That's the theme I'm trying for at least.

Obliterators are all done. Not as obvious as I wish as I'm always worried about people mistaking units. But at the same time I do like them. So yay. Didn't realize if gone heavy bolter quite so much till I sat the two down. So have to see what I can do for the third.

You're really on to something there. I especially like the butt-less leg armor, just the right amount of 40k silliness.

And I wouldn't mind a bigger pic of the Dreadnough.

Looking forward to what you come up next for this army.

Good stuff, you've got my attention Dig the dreadnought and the assless power chaps

- Salvage

Hello world. Sadly the real world stopped me from modeling for a while, and a combination of being in a funk and real-world issues sadly halted my progress for a while.

But now I am back. I am ready to model. I have been spending far too many hours green stuffing late at night when I should have been abed.

Normally when I model I browse the website here or the Internet to make sure that what I am trying to do has not been done. With this army it's the only time I have broken this exception as with my defiler and now my something.

I say something because of the scale. It might be a keeper of secrets of an Apocalypse slanesh deamon.

This is amazing!! subscribed!

Thankyou for the subscribe. I'm trying to make them great. Also sorry for the way I'm about to post images. Won't let me post multiples together

Woot. So I'm gonna get a scale picture at some stage but this model is Deffinetly to large to be a keeper of secrets. At 2.3 times the height of a normal one its Deffinetly going to be the 666 points lord of war daemon.

As for that. Added more detail. Some more rings and straps of course and painting is a WIP.

It's a pain. I want white undercoat for the skin but I need to dry brush the hair. This making the white less white. Bahhh

Ok so a minor side track. Got a little distracted playing with some nurgle troops. Though in my defense I'm pondering my slaneshe Jump troops ( which I have decided will be much like a harpy ).

Still painting my super deamon and she is coming along.

Nice raptors but can they fit on there base?

Hey sneshy thanks.
Yes and no is the answer. Yes they fit onto their bases as long as I put wires to hang them up slightly or the old battle fleet Gothic ships see through plastic. These guys are about half as tall extra as they should be which is my biggest fault when I modeling. I tends to model to what I think looks awesome rather than taking into account the terrain or tactics.

So yes but they are jumping off ruins or hanging In the air waiting to pounce

Yea I can relate... I had this soulgrinder that was 3 times the hight of a regular soul grinder :S needless to say It got Killed quickly since everyone on the battlefield could see her :S then I cut her legs off XD

Ahh perfect. Just need to name her now but I'm done my lord of war now. Including small sexy sidekick on the base. Though I feel honestly that I could add much more to the base. But ahh well.

Wow, this project is excellent.

That chaos dreadnought looks amazing. And I'm not saying it because tits. It's a very well thought and executed conversion, well matched by a neat paintjob. Congrats on that one.

The keeper of secrets/apocalypse demon looks amazing as well. You really do know how to get the best out of green stuff.

Wouldn't mind having a peek at those painted Oblits.

Keep up the good work with these girls!

Any more noise marines started yet? All the conversion work looks great. The Helbrute looks amazing, the conversion work is smooth and fits, not something that was just stamped onto the front of the chassis. I think the Lord though needs some pink on her armour. Maybe on the lower segments of the armour or on the actual fists of the weapons.

Alright combat engineer. I shall listen to your advice and tonight when I am playing around with my guys I shall add pink. The only reason I didn't initially is simply because I felt by making it Deller it would stand out more amongst a sea of bright colors but it has been something I'm looking at.

Truth be told two of the obliterate doors and two full squads of the noise Marines are now complete. I just haven't had a chance to take any pictures because they're at a friends house after a game.

by tonight I should have some photos of showing what I have done thus far when I bring in my army.

Alright, as requested ive got some more images. managed to get some of my guys back and I can show them off, got some more slanesh marines and two obliteraters done. [ though truth be told ive got more marines done just no pics yet. ]also just you fine people wait, sadly I wasnt smart and dont have many WIP pictures but ive got a helldrake coming to some pictures near you bwahaha

Obliterators are cool. Not overburdened with weapons, which is a rarity on most Obliterator conversions. What are the other planned units for this force?

so many other obliterators are covered in weapons coming from every which orifice. I wanted something almost sleeker. Like they could have anything but its a controlled mutation that forms up and the weapons change on them.

so far the plan is.....
2 squads of 10 noise marines [ like in the picture]
1 squad of 10 all with noise weapons
3 obliterators
3 rhinos
1 soul grinder
1 masque of slannesh
10 deamonets
1 hell drake
1 predator
1 land raider
1 or 2 hellbrute things [ dreads]
1 lord of war
1 squad of 10 warp tallons ]ive started a test one even as im posting this

Love it! Excited to see the Soul Grinder
