filled with rainbows....LMAO.... love filled deamonettes!!!! brilliant!

i dunno... the modeling clay will be rather squishy still... for filler material... if you had gone for milliput rather than GS i think this could work more secure....hmmm... but it will be interesting if i am totally in the wrong

Well the Horrors are now all finished.


And the squads together.

now that is an eerie assembly... very god looking!!!

Magnificant! I especially like the last shot

Thanks and I like that shot as well, that's why it replaced all the horror pictures in the title post.

Now as a shock perhaps, this guy slowly strolls into the thread and with him maybe the SoB for a little bit. Have tanks to finish off after all, but shouldn't be buying anything more for them until they finally get updated. So there will still be Daemons, this is just the main army I had to put off for them...

He'll count as Jacobus or something, but likely he'll end up more for painting as I'd rather a living saint... Well there's one thing to buy for them still then.

You could, alternatively get some Imperial Guard allies for them?

Maybe, I didn't before when I had the option anyway.

er.... one lil thing.... his arms are mismatched for th sleaves....

Yeah, the only arms I seemed to find with that were left and had a gun. So figured he can be a little fancy this way. Might have been one with a sword or something, but he already has two on him now.

Also for some reason my camera reset its settings so I messed around with them a little. Auto adjusted, but it actually comes out a little closer to how it is in person.

Just had a look over your whole blog. Brilliant stuff, dude!

I'm going to keep a close eye on this thread.

argh... if you didn´t happen to live on the other side of the globe i could have ferried you to get covered in fitting arms!!! well we´ll have to make do with what we have...

but the cape i have to add is looking stunning!

Well it's been a little while now, with next to no painting done. Thanks in part to Dakka's new MC server I suppose.

Anyway did a little painting earlier today and this is where Macharius is at the moment.

Managed to get a nice picture without need to adjust it.


Need to fix up his right eye a little though. Still has the base, weathering, the red, and the white touch ups to go at the least.

actually both eyes need work still... i like the pistols brass works... very good looking... the green sleave now really surprised me...

and ...whyt metal color will be the cuirass ? same as the brass? or gold?

Trying to get the armour sort of goldish, but screwing around with it too much. So much going into it and it's changes are only subtle at best.
Even the highlights I gave it, they're more visible in the picture than in person. But, I think they work well.

Face I worked around with a little more when I fixed the eye up, probably leave it as it is or slightly tone the highlights back. But, I think it'd be best to just get to a point and leave it.

I'm liking him, he's looking great!

At least I consider him finished.

First a group shot with a few old favourites from the army he'll be shoe horned into, if used at all.


Then Macharius himself.

He always looks so happy.

to be blunt as a dull knife... this is the very fist mini of yours i am not sold of... honestly... your daemonetts all caught me line hook and sinker... your SOB brilliant femmes with guns... your scratchbuilds...awesome ideas with perfect fitting painting executions...

the mecharius... not done yet... the breastplate and the chingards are way too big a blob of goldish space ...there is still too much definition needed... sorry to sound like a bum... but i think you are not through with that one....

Yeh, it's sort of one of the few models I've been unsure of almost the entire way. The bronze/gold has been through so many cycles. But, I think I'll get a lighter gold, give it a finer highlight and then leave it off there.

As for the next project, I'm getting some bases but may post up a teaser for it later today or something. Currently it looks like a pair of plastic allen/hex keys.

That's cool not_u, but the armor looks more brass/copper than gold. May I suggest some fine highlighting with a bright silver? Or perhaps a brown wash?

I'll give it a shot, couldn't hurt it too much.

Fixed him up a little with a slight silver highlight. Just want to be done with it at the moment.


And a very WIP next project shot.

The gold needs some different colours, maybe ivory on the eagle, to break it up a bit.

Stilts? Im seeing stilts. SO whatcha puttin on stilts?

Yeah, I'll put Macharius aside for now though. Looking at it he didn't have much detail on the eagle as it is so I had to paint most of it in. :/

Also the stilts... are legs. Well maybe.
I'll see if I can draw up something to show the idea later.

the light highlights sure brought some betterment to the mini... and i totally understand that one wants to be done with certain projects

and i wont say cool looking start... tho promiosing nevertheless^^ i think this be some claw like things later on?

You're making a Lord Of Change made of Tetris blocks!

So somewhat busy so work slowed down a touch, but I figured I may as well show what that sprue is for.

I'm finally getting started on a flying Daemon prince. Of course I did a rough sketch for concept art.

The idea was sort of a mix if I'd go with hooves or something then I got an idea; what if they were sort of like the arms and could impale the unfortunate guardsmen that happen to be in the way. With chitin sort of knee pads to cover my likely weakness with sculpting legs. I'm saying likely as I've never done it before. Of course taking elements from the Daemonettes as well. How I will run it though, I have not decided besides the flying. I could run it as Slaanesh and try pavane or something. But, at the same time I can give it stuff like Bolt of Tzeentch and/or Daemonic gaze and have it do stuff like blast holes through storm ravens and then the contents that fall from its wreckage. Seeing how FMC can be considered sort of reliable counters to flyers; something my current army can only stare at and perhaps shake a claw or fist.

Thankfully I already have the wings, which were left over from the conversion to make Iluni. So at least one thing on it will look good.

if you add the spikey pattern of the arms to the legs too i think this concept could pull of quite good... maybe you could add a certain two pointed fork like structure to the limbs too...

I guess I'll draw some more up then.

Though another thought is to have the arms without spikes like blades. Its a given the knee plates will have to be spike as well, for extra stabby goodness.
