Thanks Spud

Honestly you need to enter your stuff in a competition because your skill converting and painting regardless of how you do it, is amazing in every way and all your model baffle the mind!

The hell, man. The hell. Didn't I tell you that you would make me kill myself if you scared me any more than you have? Well, I hope you're happy. Next time you hear from me, I'll be posting from a cramped little internet cafe...IN HELL!

Nah, I'll be on a cloud somewhere. You get great reception from that high up!

Thanks a lot guys.

I've gotten a lot done on the guns and the biomechanic parts, and made a base for it, and it's just about ready for greenstuff, then... Paint!











Btw, really really bummed out that Daemons popped up in august instead of csm. :(

That's looking great, can't wait to see it with gs an paint.

Will you maybe add some bionic parts to the eyes or are you sticking with the daemonic look?

THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

The biomechanical parts really add a lot of character to the model. Very nice work.

By the way, is the bit the marine has his arms plugged into a Maxmini jump pack?

The flyer turned out really awesome! Gotta admit, I'm bummed about the CSM codex being 'delayed" too but I'm also looking forward to plastic Nurgle daemons- finally!

I have toyed with the idea of using the Arachnarok spider for a defiler conversion for a long time, but since I'm thinking of getting a few blight drones to utilize the flyer rules, I may have to try something similar for a mega blight drone flyer. Just need to see what the rumored CSM flyer has, so I can match the weaponry.

Been awhile since I've commented, but this is the best CSM blog on Dakka, in my opinion. Your conversions are inspired, your painting matches your builds very well. Keep it up, man.

OK... I quit. You win the internets...

Maybe I'll go back to fishing.

Thanks a lot! I'm hard at work doing greenstuff, so hopefully I'll start painting it tonight - I'm just having trouble deciding on the colour of the fly - dark or light colour?

Sure is.

Gitsplitta: Come on, you do great work yourself.

Love the model, and can't wait to see your usual high standard on it.

First of all, simply fantastic! The integration of the weapons is flawless, and the biomechanic parts are great.

The one nitpick I have is the fact that the fly's eyes do look like a spider's eyes far more than a fly's (for obvious reasons ). Although changing that would probably mean a huge amount of work, and I am not quite sure it would be worth it.

Concerning the paintjob, I would definitely go for a lighter colour for the fleshy parts -- in keeping with the rest of your army. As for the carapace, maybe it's a bit too crazy, but what about doing that in an almost metallic green, to resemble the carapace of a bluebottle? Like so:



Or maybe even have it be iridescent? I have no idea if that's even possible with acrylics, but if anyone can pull off something like that, it's got to be you, GuitaRasmus

I had to cave in and give it real fly eyes:

First a tiny ball of greenstuff pressed out over the eyes, and poked with a small metal tube:



Then some white carpenters glue to make the eyeballs seem spheric:



I'm happy with the result - greenstuff is all done, tonight is airbrush time!

Nice work... A+ for creative use of materials!!

Fly is looking boss. Nice work!

... I think I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of the week after seeing that! Excellent stuff!

The more I read on here, the more I want to have a go at Chaos

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but it's even more disgusting now. My hat goes off to you, good sir

I only realised just now how the weapon under the head seems to emulate a fly's proboscis: Is that a coincidence or did you do it on purpose?

Looking really good! The only thing: I would weather the rotor guards a little more, right now, the pattern of corrosion on it seems a bit too even.

Perfect!

That looks fantastic!!!! also I like the glue to round of the eyes, gona try that on some things

Thanks y'all.

A bit of fun tonight with the airbrush - unfortunately the pic doesn't show it, but I used an ancient metallic green, so it has a bit of a fly's sheen to it.

Looking good so far!

Amazing conversion and paintjobs Guita! Keep it up!

I like the way that's looking Guita, excellent choice in the green!

That looks magnificent - I love my Blight Drones but that's a beautiful piece of work.

Incredible work on that flying thing dude!

That is so awesome! I love the fact that you actually went for the extra-disgusting bluebottle effect! Cannot wait to see this thing finished

Gorgeous.

Just found this thread. Everything in it demonstrates a level of skill and creativity to which I can only hope to aspire.

Exceedingly well done on everything.

Oh and one question, where did you get the "hood" for the dark magos/apothecary?

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm hard at work getting some paint on it, and there'll hopefully be some progress pics tomorrow.

Yeah, I really like the effect too - It's just a bit problematic getting it to fit in with the rest of the armys colour scheme, since it's VERY green compared to the muted hues of the rest of the army.

It's the torso part from the chaos lord on manticore.
