That daemon prince is very very nice looking! I get a very Todd McFarlane feal from it.

I can't wait to see it with some paint on it!

Thanks! I guess it's something in the daemonic smile

Awesome. I didn't notice that on the gw website when i first saw it. Did you greenstuff the entire thing or did you cut of the metal face and glue it on and then cover it with greenstuff ?

moonshine wrote:Awesome.

Thanks man!

The army on GW's website was full of interesting idea. The converted Corvus helmets were great too!

moonshine wrote:Did you greenstuff the entire thing or did you cut of the metal face and glue it on and then cover it with greenstuff ?

I've made a milliput mold, and pressed GS into it, then, once the GS was hardened enough, I cut off the face and glued it onto the leg.

Good idea, I might have to loot that.

Nice idea indeed... You'll have to show me that, later maybe (by the end of 2011?)...

Cheers!

I've missed out on a lot here, just got caught up. The Dreadnought is absolutely amazing, and I cracked up when I realized what the DP was carrying.

Not to get you off track, but waaaaayyyy back you posted some pics of Beastmen from your LatD army. I'm looking for projects like that right now, was wondering if you had anything more to share?

You won't get me off the track Skalk (unless you suggest me a new conversion idea ).
I'm glad you like the Dread and the DPs.

Here are some more pics of the Beastmen (sorry they're just black primed, and I don't know if you'll see all the details).



Basically they're a mix of catachan, beastmen and WoC marauders. I've add GS hair on the shoulders and on the belly (for those with naked catachan torsos).
I hope it will help you.

Great work on the Prince mate, also neat lookin dreadnought !!!

Thanks man!

Now I'll try to finish the convertions on the Emperor's Children before to start something new. I'm planning to get some Forgeworld rhino plates during the french Games Day and,why not, gather some thousand sons for my next CSM army...

On the other hand I think I might take a break from CSMs after the Emp Kids, I've been working on chaotic models for more than 2 years and need something different. Perhaps working on my SOB or my Eldars.

I think I'll post something new next week.

A la prochaine!

Joe

Thanks for posting those, glad to see they aren't ready for the Shelf of Shame just yet! I asked if you were working on them because I've finally started on my own Cult army and I'm looking for ideas to -steal- draw inspiration from.

I really like the idea of Beastmen w/ Lasguns. Takes me back to the Rogue Trader / early 2nd Ed. days.

I'm going to give a few of those a try (Beastmen conversions). I have a bunch of Chaos Marauders that I'm never going to use in WFB again so they will be finding a new home in the Cult as well.

I'll be back! Thanks again.

Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:Thanks for posting those, glad to see they aren't ready for the Shelf of Shame just yet!

I have no shelf of shame, just the Dark Drawer of Models To Be Painted

I'll check your army regularly, just in case I'd see something familiar

I posted a link back to this thread on my blog because your stuff is awesome.

I'm going to do some modeling this weekend, and I just happen to have some Beastmen bits kicking about. I'm looking forward to seeing where the Corrupting Powers guide me.

Hi Hyena,

Great job on the DP, he's looking great.

Good job with the doom siren on the lascannon Although RSjake is right about the drilling but I forgive you with those heads, when I drilled them out for my khorne dreads exausts it was such a pain because the mouth opening is thinner than the others and I destroyed a couple, and nearly gave up

Those noise marines are looking wicked.

I have been making a noise similar to "GSDJGJSGJDSSFPFOEPFOESPFKMCSNWJUDWJ." the entire time i have been reading this thread.

From the simple switches of heads and robes on your CSMs, to that... beautiful daemon prince... gah!..., you are top notch my friend, and your work makes me incredibly jealous.

I am most definitely stealing some of your shield and helm ideas for my Marines.

Looks pretty sweet. Nice use of the Dark Angel chapter upgrade. As a DA player Im also thinking of one day making a fallen army.

Thank you guys!

I consider that seeing my work stolen is the best compliment, so if you give a try to some of my techniques, I'd be honored to see the result!

I feel shameful for not posting news for a month, but to be honnest I've considerably slowed down my conversion production rythm.
The main reason is the use of GS: I have a baby girl who's one year old now and she's exploring our appartment and I don't want her to get close to any GS trace she could accidentaly inhale or swallow. And since I can't get a special room to work on my models I'm forced to wait for those moments she's not home so that I can clean the area before she returns; the problem is: there's not many of those moments...

So I'm painting more than converting, trying to get more models definitely out of the sinister "Dark Drawer of Models To Be Painted"
(my Wolrd Eaters warband is nearly fully painted which is a huge victory for me!).

I'll get some time next week to try to finish the converting job on the Emperor's Children, and since I'll be at the french Games Day this week end, you might see new pics soon (not necessarily my work but cool stuff I expect).

A la prochaine!

Ha, don't you forget about the "Baleful Wardrobe of Models to Be Built"!!!!

Good luck though, some paint can never hurt...

How about the Games Day? Did you enjoy it?

Yggdrasil wrote:Ha, don't you forget about the "Baleful Wardrobe of Models to Be Built"!!!!

Wait! Who told you about this one?!

Yggdrasil wrote:Good luck though, some paint can never hurt...

Well, the Games Day was fine (but a little overcrowded IMHO). I must confess I've spent more money on the FW stand than I planned to do, but I guess it's part of the game .
There were some great models there for the Golden Demon and the Armies on Parade contests.
Here are some pics (sorry if they appear to be blurry, but it was really hard to get close enough from the exposition shelves to get a decent pic without getting bounced by some guy's overweighted backpack...










This Talos won a Golden Demon in its category (warmachines):


And this was one of the most incredible piece of conjversion I've ever seen: a Mechanicus War Train!







3 m long!

I also discussed with the FW Chaos Dwarf sculptor (a really nice guy!) of the development process at FW (which appear to be different from GWs process).
My only regret was to get back home without the Scrap Demon (one day, it'll be mine...one day..)

BTW Yggs, your model is safe on a shelf, waiting to be delivered.

OH MY GOD! A TRAIN! AMAZING!

FantasyBob wrote:OH MY GOD! A TRAIN! AMAZING!

Curiously that's exactly what I said

I've never been to a GD and kick myself for not having gone when I lived close enough to have gone to one 3 years in a row. *sigh*

Your inspiration helped create the following:



2 of 3 are finished now and were part of my Traitor Guard list this last weekend. They crushed all that stood before them... which was no one. I ran them as Conscripts and because of where they deployed (complete opposite side of the table from the objectives) they took 1 round of shooting, a handful of casualties, and then summarily ignored by the opposing force for the rest of the game.

Looking forward to seeing more greatness from you.

Good job on these mutants Skalk!

I really like your paintjob on the skin
The one with the chainsword, particularly, looks really vicious!

I still don't have much time to work on my models but here are some news:

Wolf the Defiler (my World Eater defiler) is now fully cabled and will receive extra armor plates and some plasticard blades. I also got a Microart studio oval base for him:


During the Games Day I purchased a Plague Hulk of Nurgle (a fantastic model but why do they have to leave such big chunks of resin on it?) it remembered me of my love for Papa Nurgle and you should see some Death Guard stuff in the next months.

I should get some of the necrosphynx bits soon (enough to build the humanoid part of the kit) and I will try to mount it on a defiler chassis (after it will have spend enough time whithin the "Baleful Wardrobe of Models to Be Built").

Cheers!

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! More will be coming as soon as I convince a buddy of mine that he's never going to paint *all* his Beastmen in his lifetime.

Hyenajoe wrote:*snip* you should see some Death Guard stuff in the next months.

I am looking forward to that for sure! Last night I fiddled around w/ a Possessed squad for my Death Guard that I've been kicking around for months. Not a lot of work but trying to see if I'm going to get back into it again anytime soon.

Hyenajoe wrote:

Thanks for all the pics, I really enjoyed looking at them.

Do you have news you can share about the Chaos Dawrves? My friend just started collecting them, starting with two units of the ForgeWorld minis and the cannon. He'd love to find out what else is coming up (so he can start coming up with reasons why he's spending his kid's college fund )

@Mastiff: Well I'd like to have good news about the Chaos Dwarves, but they don't plan to release models for the entire army list, for example there won't be hobgoblins for a long time (if there evere is an hobgoblin release). From what I've been told, they might take a break from the Chaos Dwarves after this wave of releases to work on the general development of the warhammer forge range.There might however be some sorcerer and unmasked troops releases.

Now it's time to show you some new stuff!

Yesterday I had my day off and I received all the bits I expected from the necrosphyx kit, so here are some WIP pics (I hope you'll like it)




I still don't know how I'll fill the juction betseen the back and the chassis (I have to do that before setting the wings).
I don't know how I'll call this one but something like the Soul Hunter or the Soul Eater would sound good for a Tzeentchian Soul Grinder.

I've also worked on Wolf the Defiler: the extra armor plates have been glued, I just have to build some extra plasticard blades, add some Khorne icons and chains and this little guy will be ready for the undercoat.



What do you think?

Upright Defilers have always been a lot more impressive. Problem is that everyone and their dog will be able to see and shoot the poor bugger to bits.

Love the pose on Wolf.

Love the necro-defiler, vey 1000-sons. How about flipping the wings upside down and join them to make an upside down v shape. Fit it on the back of the defiler, the downward facing wingtips facing the rear would look like barding from a horse and the opening where the tail pokes out could be filled with tech stuff. Very nice

That GUO is AWESOME!!

Well I'm sorry but I have some difficulties to figure how you suggest to set the wings, could you draw it or show me a pic of a similar shape?

Sorry this is very very rough, but i hope you can see what i wasd meaning.

Ok, I see what you meant now, thanks a lot man!

I'll give this option a try and take pics of it. By the way, what tech elements do you think I could use to set between the wings? engines and cables or a more enigmatic machinery with runes and mechanicals elements?

If other people have ideas, they are welcome too!

Loving the Necro-Defiler.

I am so tempted to get one now.

Go enigmatic, it doesnt have to be tech, after all it is a daemon engine, just a thought... egyptian hieroglyphs, or a big scarab beetle.

I'm now thinking of a mystical engine with some kind of prism with screaming faces on the surface, as if it was powered by the souls of its victims.

What do you think?

Awesome work on both the Khorne & Tzeentch defilers!!!

A friend of mine told me the Games Day was really overcrowded, which spoilt his day a bit...

Was it that bad??

Can't wait to see the Plague Hulk...

Yggdrasil wrote: Awesome work on both the Khorne & Tzeentch defilers!!!

Thanks! I've started Wolf more than a year ago, it was about time for me to finish it (and perhaps, one day finish the Silver tower too )
The Tzeentch sphynx thing was really quickly made (less than an hour) and the hardest part was to glue the legs to the chassis. I must say I'm quite happy with this one.

Yggdrasil wrote:A friend of mine told me the Games Day was really overcrowded, which spoilt his day a bit...

I've been waiting for almost 45 min to 1 hour, just to get a seat for the Scrap Demon. The time to reach the forgeworld stand was insane (unless you were ordering some stuff, which allowed you to buy some kits allong with paying for the order). I couldn't reach the Armies on Parade expostion for some time and I really had a limited access to the Golden Demon tables (not to mention being perpetually bounced by careless guys -oh, did I mention I hate proximity?)

Yggdrasil wrote: Can't wait to see the Plague Hulk...

I can't wait to build it!

Well I guess I would've been really disappointed...

I had 2 days off this week, which allowed me to progress on some projects.

- I've prepared a dozen GS faces to add to my noise marines legs.

-I've started to paint both Wolf the Defiler, and my Brass Scorpion.

-I've worked on the Sorcerer Dreadnought, here are some WIP pics (sorry the pics are blurry ) :

It lacks of arrows and fancy hyeroglyphs for now.


The dreadnought force weapon arm is on its way, I'm quite happy with this one.


Tzeentch icons bent and glued on the legplates.


The early stages of the sarcophagus. The GS mold for the mutated eyes I'll put on each side is ready.

There is one point I need an advice. I like to put icons both on the top and the back of my dreadnought (as I did with the Khone and Slaanesh dreads).
Until now, I only have the regular CSM Tzeentch icon, and I still don't know where to put it:

here?


or here?


What do you think?

The leg guards are beautiful but...not too sure on the head. I feel it needs to be sunk in a bit more as all the dreadnought patterns seem to have the head in a socket as it were with raised collar.

I'd say, buy a Tzeentch Horrors Icon from a bitz site, looks more "original", less "seen and seen again"...

And put it on top!

I think on top as well.

The new dread is looking really good. Particularly the force weapon arm, which has a weirdly, wonderfully Tzeentchy aesthetic.

top deffs, although i like th csm icon... it just ooozing power to me

tinfoil wrote:I think on top as well.

Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about that Force weapon!!!

Goddamn Tzeentchy, yeah!!!!

Thanks guys!

@ DarkStarSabre:The head can't go deeper bacause of the horns.

@ Yggdrasil: I recycled the horrors icon from the silver tower ring (these horrors won't need an icon anyway )

@ Tinfoil: I'm glad you like it!

@Tyranic Marta: I like it too, but I'll probaly cut it into bits to use on the dread.

I'll go for the Horrors icon on top, and try to find my old metal WHFB tzeentch icon to put it on the back of the dread.

sounds good HJ cant wait to see em painted

Wow. Like *really* wow. That Dread is already so impressive I'm not sure where else you are going to be able to take it but no doubt you'll do something amazingly OTT.

Thanks!

Here are some news:
- I've finished the modeling job on my noise marines legs. Now I have to make 5 more tentacled helmets, and 6 more heads looking like the DPs.

-Basecoat on Wolf's armor is nearly done, then I'll use some layers of red gore and blood red before to paint the mutant flesh and finally the metallic parts:


-I've worked on the Sorceror Dread according to Yggs and Tinfoil advices. However, I've tried something with the classic tzeentch icon on the back:



What do you think?

Wow thats brilliant. Keep up the awesome work.

Dread looks fantastic.

The banner looks really good.

Fragile, but really good.

You have some very nice work going on here, I can't believe I've not seen this thread until now.

Love the dread!

Thank you guys!

tinfoil wrote:The banner looks really good.

Fragile? Well I don't worry on this point. The banner pole has been drilled and pinned to the level of the two tzeentch symbols

I can't wait to start working on the armor plates!

Your Dread looks gorgeous. Yet one more idea I'm going to have to steal from you.
I wonder how this will turn out with my AOBR Dread.

ColeFournier wrote:Your Dread looks gorgeous. Yet one more idea I'm going to have to steal from you.

Thanks man! Steal as much as you want, it's for free

ColeFournier wrote:I wonder how this will turn out with my AOBR Dread.

There's nothing you can't do with an AOBR dread and an sharp Xacto knife
Remember to post pics of it if you give a try!

BTW great news: I've finally received my forge world order with all the Emp kids rhino upgrade kits I was waiting for to start the transports (and some Death Guard stuff as well)
I'm also finishing the purchases for my last (I swear this one will be the last!) CSM army, the Thousand Sons.
I'm waiting for 3 boxes of TS, 20 metal horrors, 5 termies and Arhiman
I must also buy get some Scibor and Chapterhouse TS bits for the termies
No need to say that my hobby budget is now severely crippled and that I might be more reasonable until the end of the year, and -why not- try to paint some models!

Since I have nothing on schedule next week-end (unless my dear wife has planned a "surprise" dinner at my parents in law) I might be able to post some pics soon.

Cheers!

Just bugging you to see if you've got an update lurking about. The Defiler really has my attention.

well...let's say I was distracted by an unsuspected invitation involving friends, board games, swimming pool and cocktails...

Yet I was able to assemble 20 metal horrors,2 Death Guard rhinos and a land raider, to strip paint from 2 defilers, and to give a try at casting with a silicon mold and white metal...

About the more serious projects, I'm cruelly lacking of plastic chaos icons to work on the sorcerer dread, and I still don't know how to build the mystic engine I have in mind for the necrodefiler...

BTW, something really cool happened last week. I got my 3 squads of Thousand Sons (which I expected), but I also got 3 more TS squads as a gift!
Now, appart from Ahriman and some rhinos, I have far enough models to build a cool TS army!
It will be hard to put them appart for months, but I have to finish my Emperor's Children first.

Cheers!

Joe

Where did you get the TS stuff from?

Also, I hope you enjoyed the swimming pool enough for both of us... As there's not much water in here!!

Any chance of pics?

Hi Joe

I've missed so much:( Hows it going?

The new dread is looking very nice. The use of the dreadnought force weapon mod is great, the banner pole is looking cool, can't wait to see this one painted.

Hey Tipios!

Really cool to see you're back!
Everything's going fine but slowly!

I still have a lot to do but not enough time for it. What about you?

@Yggdrasil: believe me, I enjoyed it!

For my next GSing session I'll try to make a mold of the Thousand Sons helmets to adapt the egyptian part to terminators helmets.

Cheers!

Joe

Cool looking dreadnaught.

Ah! Same avatar image threw me way off. I was about to yell at joe for bragging about some mystery dread and not showing us.

Hey joe,

I'm gona get back on the models soon. I really need to get the dreads done work and wife stress has held me back

@moltar - lol!!!

Yeah, that was weird.

Hyenajoe wrote:For my next GSing session I'll try to make a mold of the Thousand Sons helmets to adapt the egyptian part to terminators helmets.

I've never seen anything like that before, awesome idea! Really looking forward to seeing it!

Moltar wrote:Ah! Same avatar image threw me way off. I was about to yell at joe for bragging about some mystery dread and not showing us.

The least we can say is that Moonshine is a man of taste!

@moonshine: thanks man!

@tipios: we missed your awesome conversions! I hope everything's fine for you now and that you'll be able to provide us more great ideas (any chance to see more about your CSMs?)

@skalk: I've only made a full GS two parts mold once, to make replacement backpacks for a Sisters of battle squad, the results were rather random, but I think I have the necessary skills now (and my last experience with silicon was more than encouraging). The technique will be roughly the same as described in this tuto:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/242040.page
The only thing that will really be different will be the materials (milliput as the modelling clay and GS to replace both silicon and resin)

Now I must wait to have enough free time to make it.

Just going back a bit on this blog, and your standing defiler is awesome, how long did that take?? and the scorpion chap is cool to, where did you get that? I have started a thousand son terminator lord, just this second, so if it goes ok I will put pics up. Once I get back into the flow, I will finish those raptors, and I hope that the friedly pimp my sorcerer compo will get me back into the full swing again

Hey there!

It's time for an update!

I haven't had much time for modelling these last weeks and I made no progress with the ongoing projects.
Yet I managed to assemble some models:
Death guard vehicles:

And demons of Tzeentch:



I've also worked on making GS bits for my Thousand Sons termies:


I hope to be able to post pics of the first termie soon.

Cheers!

Joe

Well the Standing defiler took me a loooong time (not because it was a complicated job, but because I shelved it too long otherwise it would be a 3 full modelling days job.), The other one was built in an afternoon. It's a basic kitbash between the Soul Grinder and the new WHFB Necrosphynx kit.
I can't wait to see your new project (and to see the progress on the older ones )

Looking forward to the corrupted defilement of those vehicles slotted for Death Guard. And the Thousand Sons helms are going to look great!

...

Wait. Nurgle and Tzeentch?

Looking forward to seeing those termies

Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:Looking forward to the corrupted defilement of those vehicles slotted for Death Guard. And the Thousand Sons helms are going to look great!

I'll soon make a test model (and will perhaps start it today during my lunch break)

Are you going to stick the thousand son helmet tops onto the helmet I have used on my Lord?

Yep!
So, here's my test TS termie:



What do you think?

That is fantastic. Great job

Looking good

Agreed. That helmet looks much better with the 1k sons decoration than those giant horns.

Agreed with passion

WOw. I love the work you did on both the dread and the termis. Great conversion work. Cant wait to see more, PLUS i am so going to send a link of this thread to one of my best foes. He plays nothing but 1000 sons and will love it. Thanks.

Sweet looking Daemon Prince, where does that head come from?

Thank you all guys!

@Tipios and GiraffeX: I really like your work on TS too!

@ Moltar: I've never been a huge fan of horned CSMs unless to give them a barbarian look. The average horned CSM heads are ridiculous IMO.

@Sennacherib: Thanks a lot! If your friend is interested in the technique I've used, I'd be glad to help him.

I'm planning to give my termies some good old power fists (not really esthetic, but effective in game!) and perhaps the termie sorceror staff for the champion. I won't put the trophy racks on their back because they would seem out of place on
a Thousand Son. I don't know what shooting weapons I should give them for the moment.

A la prochaine!

Joe
edit:
@Spartan089: the heads are from the Abberation Prime kit (from Rakham) you can still find some on ebay.

Wow! I didn't know exactly what to expect, I knew it would be excellent, but THAT is awesome! I really respect your ingenuity and craftsmanship. "One size fits all" Terminators might be ok for some legions, but something so distinct as Thousand Sons needed exactly what you did here. Looking forward to seeing this painted up!

Thank you Skalk!

Good news for the sorcerer dread: I've finally received the plastic chaos stars I needed to work on it (I'm going to do something similar to what I did with the sonic dread's armor plates.)
I've also got some nurgle vehicles icons for my Death Guard Rhinos and the heads to complete the Thousand Sons termies squad.

I hope to be able to do something on Friday.

A la prochaine!

Joe

Can't wait to see the termies finished

Those press moulded bits are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more termies!

Hi there Hyena, wondered if you had seen these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320726718930&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Though your press moulded stuff is brilliant TBW

*jaw drop*

No, I had not seen these russians TS termies yet (I knew their regular TS converting kit however). These kits are wonderful (pricey, but wonderful) and I really wish I had the budget for it!

Thanks for your comments guys, the second termie is on its way and since I have my evening just for me (My wife and my daughter are on holidays) I'll try to prepare enough bits to finish the squad. If I have enough time, I might also start to work on my WHFB sorceror for Panic's PIMP MY SORCERER 40K contest (turning the Chaos sorceror to a dark mechanicus magos).

Great press-moulding, did you use instant mould?

Will be interested to see you Drak Magos, being as i am a purveyor of the "real and just" AdMdech!

Have you made any progess on the Necrofiler?

Thanks Vitruvian!

I just made a GS mold

I've got my WHFB sorceror during my lunch break today, and I can't wait to be home to start working on the magos (I already have somethnig precise in mind!).

No news about the Necrodefiler (lack of time) but as soon as I will have enough time to build the engine, I'll finish it.

Those ebay termies are cool. I would not mind just getting the heads.

Good luck with your sorcerer Joe

Ahh i see!

Psst.. You probably shouldnt post images of casting certain things, if you catch my drift..

What pics? Have you seen pics? I don't see pics!

I've been very productive last night, the magos is nearly done, my nurgle vehicles (2 rhinos, 1 land raider and a defiler) are ready for the black undercoat, and I've made nearly enough bits to finish the termies (I must still make 1 loincloth).

I was about to post some step by step pics of the magos building, but I realised my dear wife took the camera for the week end
I must say I'm quite happy with the result; I've found the perfect bits for this conversion ( Fabius Bile's servo-arms, a metal CSM termie head, an old power axe, and an oddly miscated CSM backpack). Pics will follow (probably on monday)

A la prochaine!

Joe

I'm really looking forward to seeing those Nurgle vehicles. I wish I could get off this computer and go do something hobby related. it's so hot right now all I want to do is sleep. At least this is somewhat entertaining... but I feel like a bum. I need to go do something.

just read through the entire blog!
must say you are awesome, i wish i could make my gaurd look this exciting

Pics!!!!

Wee wunt piksss!!

So, what do you think?

Nice Nurgling of the vehicles, the second defiler is very cool. Your getting a nice collection of defilers now

And Magos looks cool!!

That Magos looks awesome! The Nurgle vehicles look pretty sweet too. I'm also really glad someone else has seen Twin Peaks.

Thank you guys!

@Tipios: I have a lot defilers but I still have more Dreads!

@Moltar: Twin Peaks is a cult classic and David Lynch's best job IMO (nice catch btw, it took me some time to understand how you knew )

Here are some more pics:


I've finally found a way to finish the Necrodefiler! some more GS and it'll be done!


Some Termies (the last loincloth is hardening while I'm typing)


The 50mm base I'm going to use for the Magos (it's from Micro Art Studio)

Cheers!

YEY! more dreads

Termie squad really looks the part, great job!!! and the Necrodefiler is a nice conversion too! have you seen that done before or did you come up with it?

Nice update. This army is looking so good, it will almost be a shame when we finally scour them form the from the globe with fire.

Thank you guys!

As far as I know, it's an original conversion, I thought of it as soon as I've seen the Necrosphynx pic in the Tomb Kings previews. I know someone also had a similar idea in the P&M section, making a photoshop sketch, but I already had this in mind. My original concern was to build a soul grinder/defiler with a cool Tzeentchian look (I'm not a huge fan of the soul grinder model).

I'll try to finish the termis squad soon, and the dreadnought as well.

Just a side note, I've finally finished the winged prince (which now have an ass - no joke intended).

A la prochaine!

Joe

Awsome!!!
Necrodefiler looking great however my slaaneshyness shuns your nurglybits

although they still look great as do the termies

Keep up the fantastic work!!

Thanks Marta, I plan to finish the termies next week-end, and I might even make some progress on the sorcerer dread.

After that I'll try to get back on the Emp Kids project to finish all the modelling before to start a loooooong period of painting.

I've done so many conversions these last years, and I have gathered hundreds of unpainted models. I think it's time for a change. So I have decided to stop buying minis or bits ( ) and to start no new project until all I have finished everything I have started!

Wish me good luck, it's going to be hard!

Good luck!!!!!! That is a masive task You need to block ebay from your computer, so you can't even just have a look

That's probably the best solution!

Hi there!

I had more time for modelling these last days than I expected, so here are my progresses on the Sorcerer dreadnought (still some details to finish before painting) and the TS Termies which are complete and ready for paint!

The Sorcerer dread:






I have to say to those who would doubt of the trophies racks that I was more or less obliged to add them for a modelling purpose (I'll explain it later)
So far I still have to finish the left armor plate and some small elements of junctions.

The Thousand Sons terminators





What do you think?

Just found this thread and I love your work. I really like the Magos and have some questions about him.
1. Can I attempt to reproduce him?
2. What parts did you use? I see the new Warriors of Chaos Sorcerer Lord, an upside down cut up CSM back-pack, berserker pistol, and Chirugeon arms. but I cant place the head, Ax head, or blobs hanging from the back-pack.

I will give you full credit for the idea, I won't steal credit for a mediocre idea much-less a great idea like this guy.

Of course you can! I always consider it as the best compliment!

The head is from the old metal terminator champion, but any CSM/ SM head with a respirator could do the trick. The axe is a power axe from the 2nd ed CSMs and has been filed to look more mechanicus, and the blobs were part of the backpack (which was strangely miscasted)you can make it in GS.

Thanks for being interested in my work and for promoting it

The Sorcerer dread:

No kidding mate, this has to be one of the best custom dreads I have seen... Ever !

It has a lot of personality, the top SM torso + helmet, the added spikes on the shoulders, the Horror icon, the force weapon, the GS'ed right shoulder, ... That's but a few of the details that make it so special!!

I don't have any suggestion that could make it better... It's almost perfect for a Tzeentchian Machine of Changing Death...

I want one for Christmas!

Yeah I agree, that is probably the greatest Tzeentch dreadnaught ever.

The greenstuff is amazing.

Everything looks brilliant

Thank you guys!

To be honnest I didn't expect such great comments! I was unsure about this dread, probably besause it was similar in many ways to my sonic dread, and it seemed to me it was less original than the others.

I'm really glad you like it

Cheers!

Joe

Hi Joe

The trophy rack is a good idea, don't dout yourself it has a very chaosy look, the dread is great.

And your termie squad looks awsome.

I think you two need to have a dread throw-down.

The Magos is crazy, not sure on the base though it looks a little busy, the defiler is amazing and the dread is made from 100% pure win

and my gaurd are just cadians with a different paint scheme and some bigger shoulder pads

Thanks, I don't have money right now but once I do and get the bits I need I'll post a link to my progress. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier but all your stuff is great its just the Magos was something I wanted to have myself but was unique enough I wanted permission before copying it.

Thank you all guys!

Some news: I've started to paint the termies! I went for a Regal blue base and highlightings of Regal blue and Ice blue. I'll try to post some PIP pics of the most advanced model soon.

I have almost finished theplasticard job on th Sorcerer Dread, and I'm currently toying with the idea of adding seals of corruption on it (basically seals of purity but with a small chaos star instead of the wax seal).
Do you think it's a good idea?

Seals of Corruption suond like an excellent idea, so long as its obvious that they aren't purity seals.

If they look too much like purity seals you will constanly being asked why your chaos marines have purity seals by people too lazy/stupid to take a proper look

AWESOME!! how is it that some people are just SO Great at using greenstuff and conversion models!!

I LOVE THE necro-defiler

Wow. Can't believe I've only (re)stumbled across this blog. Absolutely great work Joe; the Termies, Wolf, Necro-sphinx, the Dread... All of it is great work; amazing job man. Then there's the latest Death Guard too!

Can't wait to see more of the termies particularly, as they look great with the little bit of GS work you added. And then there's adding the paint to do too.

How are you intending to represent some of these models such as Wolf, the Beastmen and the Dread in-game btw?

@Asylum: I can assure you the seals won't look pure!

@Nightfall: Thanks! There's no model you can't make with dakka tutos and some tools!

@Just Dave: Thanks man! I'm glad you appreciate my conversions. Wolf is a 4 CCW defiler (don't ask about the cannon or I'l tell you about the loincloth ), for the beastmen I use the old Latd codex (I know it's outdated, but it's only for friendly games) or IG. The Sorcerer dread...well I'd like to play it as a TS equivalent to the BA furioso librarian (and without this stupid madness rule which doesn't fit with the TS fluff!!!), but I have no rules for it now so I play it as a regular CSM dread. (Of course if you have adequat rules for it...)

As promised, here's an early PIP of the first terminator:



What do you think so far ?

I had said earlier seals of corruption, but seemingly the post didn't make it through...
So that's a great idea!!!

TS Terminator is looking more than promising... The highlights on the helmet faceplate is especially exquisite...

Can't wait for more!!!

You've done a great job placing the TS part onto the helmet no seams and like Yggdrasil I like the highlights.

Thank you guys!

Any idea of how I should paint the eyes?

I've just downloaded Just Dave's CSM codex, and it's fething great! So thank you Just Dave, your codex is just what my armies needed!

How about "not" painting the eyes?

It looks pretty grimdark like that already uh?

Or, you know... The usual deep red...

And what about the armor eyes (on the chest on the pelvic area and on the shoulderpad) ? Should I paint them black with a slight grey highlighting?

That Terminator is coming along beautifully.. I love the deep blue.

Those tzeench termies look really good. Great work!

Unbelievable! I just found this threaad and I wil definatly be keeping track, keep up the awsome ts terminator work.

Hyenajoe wrote:@Asylum: I can assure you the seals won't look pure!

I can't wait to see them, I guess they would be impurity seals rather than purity seals.

Terminator looks excellent BTW, love the highlights they really pop.

I think to get a scary black eye, just add 1 white dot in the top right corner, and gloss varnish it. No grey highlights. Then if that dosn't look good go deep red

Thank you guys!

Woo! More Thousand Sons! Epic work through the entire thread, just the kind of inspiration I need.

Keep up the great work!

O M G

Most Incredible Dread ever and thats before its even Painted!!!!
Truly Inspiring Work HJ

and those Terminators? B E A utiful

Amazing, simply amazing

Thanks!

As I mentioned it earlier, the dread is nearly done (at least for the modelling job) But one point Bother me: its base!

I don't want a plain base and I won't have the occasion to pucharse a cool resin base so I'll have to make it myself. But my problem here is not technical, I just cruelly lack of inspiration.
Any idea?

EDIT:
I've been making some GSing on the sorceror dread during my lunchbreak, and by the same occasion, I started to work on the corruption seal, and finally I've finished the GSing of the Snake Prince!

Talking about the Snake Prince, I'm planning to give him a loincloth from the DP kit (the cloth one, not the chainmailed) to hide the awfull Mess that's the junction between the DP torso ant the Trygon tail.

Cheers!

Joe

UPDATE:

The Snake Prince is finished!




Now I need to work on the base and to paint this little bugger!

Hmmmm

Well for the Dread's base you could get some plasticard (If you have any spare From memory its rather expensive) And make a Mark of Tzeentch on it surrounded by a wheel of chaos 9You know Its like a circle with little spikes coming out at regular intervals) Anyhoo those two would be engraved into the plasticard and then you could add bits of rubble/sand/whteva outside the circle but inside it could be a scorched area from where he teleported onto the battle field?

IDK just some Ideas

DP looking good, nice call on the cloth to hide join

On dread basing, I need some ideas too, ATM I'm just using GW dread bases apart from the nurgle one. If you got some spare SM parts around, you could scatter them around the base or stick them on ritual spikes

As an fellow chaos player, I think your conversions are just too amazing to be true (im almost embarrased about my own conversions which i've done). Your dreadnoughts are incredibly powerful looking and menacing, plus your demon princes are god like (ill have to make couple of own, just because i love your conversions). Keep up the good work and may the chaos gods be with you

Sweet merciful god that is amazing! Excuse me while I collect the bits and pieces of my mind because you completely blew it As for the bases, there needs to be many MANY dead things!

Thank you all!

Thanks Tony, I'll try to find (or make) dead things to put on the prince's base (I think I have a RT era crippled space marine somewhere, I guess it's time to use it )

I must say I'm really glad to see all the positive feedback on my latest work, it's really motivating!

I know im mad *Demented cackle* But you dont need to tell everyone, sheesh

Tyranic Marta wrote:I know im mad *Demented cackle* But you dont need to tell everyone, sheesh

Sorry, of course I meant "made" (which doesn't mean you're not mad of course - who knows what lurks on the internet nowadays )

Exactly

I've found my crippled marine to use on the Prince's base:

Of course he needs some gore and bloodstrains (and to be repainted as well ) but here's the idea:



Do you guys think I should order a dead marine from GW to use as a second victim? Or should I try to make one by myself?

Cheers man.
----

Loving the Snake Prince; I've always wanted to make one myself, although I was intending to use the Red Terror tail myself. Loving the look of him though; what did you use for the head? Looks very alien-ish!
I definitely like the idea of a second corpse on the base, although i'd probably go for the make-your-own option to save on monies.
I must admit however, I think the tail may be a bit too big compared to the body, but maybe that's just me...
As I said though, looks great. I look forward to more!

Looking good, I like the way this is going, sorround the prey killing him slowly

I'm gona have to say "MAKE YOUR OWN!!!!" as long as your've got the bitz! remember your not gona buy any more bitz!!!!

Thanks!

@Just Dave: The head is from Rackham's Aberration Prime kit (you can still find one for cheap on ebay). About the size of the tail, it makes indeed a tall prince, but the proportion of the tail has to fit the morphology of the DP torso (I mean it has to be strong enough to allow him to move an over-armored/over-musculated torso.) BrassScorpion from whom I stole the idea didn't use all the length of the trygon tail (making is at least 2 inches shorter and placing tentacles at the end) and it looks really good.

tipios wrote:

I know...I'm weak! (soon or later I'll have to go to a Anonymous Bits Buyer meeting )

I'll make one myself then, I think a marine trying to raise his gun with his remaining arm would look good!

I'll see you at that meeting

That's what I'm talking about

Sorry Joe, don't have enough time to post everything I'd like to say, but this Daemon Prince is really, really outstanding...

Exquisite, I should say...

Please don't spoil it with "rough" casualties on the base, it deserves some perfect basing!!

...

...

Sorry, still haven't recovered from the shock.

...

..

.

Ok, I'm leaving now.

Cheers!

The dreadnought is really nice I love the GS work on the front, just amazing.

The Snake Prince is really nice as well, where did the head come from if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks for the compliments!

Yggdrasil wrote:

Can you be more precise? Do you think I should abbandon the crippled marine, or that it's ok as long as I don't turn the base to a slaughterhouse?

GiraffeX wrote:The dreadnought is really nice I love the GS work on the front, just amazing.

The head is from Rackham's Abberation Prime kit.

I'm still considering several possibilites for the Prince's base, the most interesting one implies magnets and two victims.

A la prochaine!

Joe

DP is awesome! This here has inspired me to make my DP (using the DP and GK kits, once I get them...) Better (and bigger, although I don't think that is possible if I include the length of that MASSIVE tail...)

Heheheh that prince looks like hes gonna NOM that poor marine, looking good HJ

Thank you guys!

So, here's what i have in mind so far: The RT era crippled marine (placed as in the previous pics) and a second marine with a mpissing arm, still standing up with the support of a pillar (or a small piece of wall) and raising his bolter in the direction of the Prince. Both would be magnetised on the base to be removed and used as separate objective markers for my Dark Angels Army. I'll work the base with plasticard small slate bits and sand, strong magnets will be placed under the base. I'll try to wor'k this out this week end, but I also have to work on my Heretek and my TS termies first.

Cheers!

Joe

That sounds awsome
May I suggest quietly that if you added two more "Bits" of marine floating about then you could use them as the DP's wounds? IE take one of when he loses one. or actually scratch that you only need one more, one for each wound then him for the final bit.

Wow... that sounds awesome.

The conversions are fantastic. I love all the arrows on the Tzeench dread. That's a real nice use of standard chaos bits to more adequately represent Tzeench. Very cool.

I have to side with Yggs. That's a beautiful DP, you should give it a beautiful base. Heck, I'll BUILD you a base, if you want!

--Brian

Lol be careful not to get the magnet polarities mixed up or you'll get levitating dead marines............... hmmm that would be a neat trick.

Sorry I was a bit vague...

What I mean is that most of the time, the "casualties" on large bases / scenerey end up screwing the whole piece, due to :
- models not being "poseable" as lying or prone, thus resulting in silly poses that don't look realistic at all ;
- an overzealous application of a bad recipe for blood ;
- the painter being "lazier" for them than for the rest of the mini.

So please only do this if it can emphasize the greatness of the Daemon!!!

Thanks for your comments guys.

The last two days and nights were really difficult ( my daughter was suffering from her growing teeth) I'll skip the details but to be honnest I look more or less like a living dead today (or at least like someone with a good hangover)
Yet, here's what I achieved to do during the rare moments of peace:




It's a first try, do you think I'm on the right way?

It is the right start.

tipios wrote:It is the right start.

+1 i think it looks excellent

Looking very very good, hes almost got that. "Omg did i just walk in on this?" look

Wow, there's some great stuff here - I'm a fan of the green stuff work, the dread and that Snake Prince is looking good too

That's probably the closest thing I've seen to a Marine wetting himself (in a good way - unless you're the Marine )

Thanks for sharing

I'm glad you like it!

After building this marine I felt the RT crippled marine was out of place, so I decided to build another one to place under the prince.
At this point I must say that my bitzbox must be linked to the warp, since random cool bits I had never noticed before regularly appears in it (it's the only logic explanation...or else it would mean I have gathered too much bits along the years to remember of all I have...no,it's probably the warp!)
Here's the result so far:





I'll give this new marine a bolt pistol (and a good amount of GS to hide all the cutting marks!)
I have also cut the half arch to avoid it to draw the eye from the tail claw ( and to get an easy ruin mood )
So what do you think?

Awesome...

The first marine is looking good, but not as if firing... Rather as if looking in pain & awe at him (which is also nice).

Second one looks more defiant, and much better than the RT one... Though it would've been better (IMHO) if he was less... vertical (?) in his pose ; that is, with the arm & gaze more at an angle, rather than directly up.
But that's just nitpicking of course, that looks awesome!

I like the way tou've done the new ones legs, but yeah try getting his arm pointing morw towards the torso of the dp!!

nice works as always, even with a teething baby in the background

GS'd eyes on the dread look great!

The paint on the 1kson term looks sweet as well, such a vibrant blue.

And the DP is brreathtaking, love the marines battling to the end, thats a great scene right there.

Keep it up!

I like that scene. It looks really nice. The pose on the fallen space marine looks natural. Nice job.

"IM GONNA SHOOT YOU WITH MA FINGERRRRRRR"

Looking great HJ

Thank you! You're right he doesn't look as if firing, but I was missing a straight arm to try giving him a desperate heroic position, so I went this way. I'm glad you like it

I see what you mean. I'll try to adjust this later (perhaps by repositioning the arm and working on some rubble under him it might work).

tipios wrote: I like the way tou've done the new ones legs, but yeah try getting his arm pointing morw towards the torso of the dp!!

Ok, time for a small update before I leave for nearly three weeks (holidays ! yay!!!)

For those who don't remember him, here's the one I'm talking about:

What you couldn't see on the pics I posted was that ther was absolutely nothing between his legs (no silly pun intended, I swear)
The legs being from the Aberation Prime kit and the torso from GWs DP kit I had to fill the junctions, so here's the latest thing I've done on the winged prince:

I will have to add some more GS to get a more homogenic result. I wish I could hide it with a lointcloth on both the front and back of the model (like on the Lord of Change) but a lointcloth wouldn't look good on this model (or to be more precise: I think it would break the dynamic and hide the legs which I want to be seen).

What do you guys think?

I've decided to dedicate it to my whole CSM legion: the Lost Prophets.

Please tell me that you have Shinobi & Dragon Ninja themed characters!??!?! That'd be so awesome

Err,sorry, but I don't get this one.

The Lost Prophets were a band around in the early 2000's that had one decent song called Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja. You're not missing much.
DP looks good. Nice job on the GS. I know what you mean about the loincloths. What if you did like a drape of chainmail? Or even plated armor that drapes like this:

Damn you Moltar that was going to be my suggestion! Seriously though i agree, the cloth part of loincloth may not look great but if you modeled a piece of armor to look like his shoulder pieces (stylistically) and draped it from a hobby chain belt for example i think it would look pretty wicked.

Could we get a better shot of his sword and hand? I love the pose from what i can see, really powerful. I may steal it!

Thanks! The armor plates might be just what I was looking for.

Loving the army so far. Those Daemon Princes look epic and may have to be shamelessly ripped off AGAIN. Looking forward to seeing them painted.

He's looking good, I do love that pose!!!!!
Have a great holiday!!!

My favorite DP's on this site, loving em, and yeah those armour plates would look perfect.

I'll work out the plates to make something fitting the model's aesthetic. I won't make something definitive, just a try, and you guys will tell me what you'll think.

To FearPeteySodes request, the best pics I have of the Princes' main blades:
For the winged prince:


and for the snake prince:


Right now I'm preparing a list of things to do during my holiday:
-painting my oop necron army.
-painting my Heretek
-finishing the modelling job on my Emperor's children heads and scratchbuilding 5 pairs of lightning claws for the chosen ones

I'll probably post a lot of new pics when I'll be back.

A la prochaine!

Joe

im liking that

i like the ailen hed you have put on it

subed, this is interesting

Hey everyone! I'm back!

The holidays were fine and I had enough time to work on the Emp Kids to make some significant progress, I found the time to paint my necrons, and I even started a new DP. The only thing I was completely unable to work on is my Heretek (shame on me! ).

As promised, here are some WIP pics of my Emperor's Children:
1st: The Dactilys Squad (a.k.a. ïa! ïa!Cthulu Ftaghn!)



You'll see later that the icon bearer have been redone yesterday.

2nd: The Eidolon Squad.



3rd: the Excelis Squad (no group shot, sorry)

the only squad I've done using GWs noise marines or slaaneshi heads (except for the converted possessed head you can see here).

Another squad is on its way but I have to finish the mohawks

I've also worked on the chosen one, the Sublime Guard:

and their lightning claws:



I know I still have a lot to do,but what do you think so far?

welcome back joe! Your latest work is looking good! Nice claws, and you've started another dp

Thanks Tipios!

The new prince will be more common than the two others, mainly because I'musing all the DP bitz I didn't use on the others. I'll post a pic of the WIP very soon

Love the Cthulu heads, your stuff always makes me want to start a chaos army

Thanks man! Your stuff made me start casting my own stuff!

here are some new pics of my latest work:
the base for my Heretek:

The heretek (which is now nearly finished!)


And the early start of my new DP:



What do you guys thinks?

Heretek looks good, especially his base. I think the new DP is off to a great start, too. Given that those wings are solid metal (looking), are you going to add anything to tie them into the fleshy DP? Like a motor with pistons or something to that extent? They actually look like they fit on there pretty well.

Base is very nicely painted!!

Pimped sorcerer is looking amazing, I really should finish mine, but I still havent finished the wings:(

New Dp is great, nice use of those spare wings did you use big pins

Thank you Moltar! You're right, I'm going to build some plasticard pistons between the wings and the DPs back.

I'm really proud of the base. To be honest I didn't know how to paint it this morning
I'm glad you like the DP
I hope you can manage to finish your sorcerer in time!

Gonna be a Tzeenchian Prince? Those look like Sphinx wings.

loving the look of the new prince and the (im guessing) chosen

WOW sweet Jeepers nice chaos stuff!

Just one could you send the link to the site where you got those bitz? for the slaanesh deamon princes.

Awesome stuff. Love the use of the sphynx wings on the new DP.

Those Slaaneshi squads are really epic...

They each have a lot of character... And I'd be hard-pressed to tell which one is my favourite!!

Great job on the Pimped Dark Magos too...

Than you guys!

My pimped sorcerer is nearly done I still have some details to do on the backpack but here's the general result:


I'll try to take a better pic for the contest (too much light on this one, the model is not glossy and the colors are more balanced)

I'll try to post some new stuff before I get back to work (I mean, my real job )

Cheers!

Joe

Hey everyone! After nearly a month without any connexion at home I can finally update my thead, hurray!

I've been productive lately, especially about painting. I've nearly finished the TS terminators, and trained with an airbrush.
.
As I already mentioned it, I've decided to bring my death guard back and to finish it once and for all. Here are some pics of the latest results, but also some of my earliest conversion, from the time I got back into 40k about 5 years ago.









(this is old stuff now)






Here are also the pics I was unable to upload for the Pimp my sorcerer 40K contest:




I'll upload more pics soon.

What do you think guys?

Joe

Awesome conversions here. I really like the DP's and the Heretek.

Cool airbrush work! The oldskool stuff is very nice too ha!

Shame you could not get those pics of your pimped wizard up before deadline, you would have got more votes I think! The sacks on the back came out very nice.

Wow, I think this is my fisrt post in your blog... I really need to branch out. Sorry. You've got a lot of cool GS work in here. I like all the Cthulu tributes a lot, and I really like your choice for the DP's wings. they look really cool with that chest plate.

That's an awesome base under your PMW entry. It is a bummer that you didn't make the deadline... I have that problem a lot too. The painting came out really nice. I like the mottled red cloak, all of the vials came out great and Tipios is right, those sacks look very nice.

Hey, nice to see you back...

I was beginning to wonder... Great job on the armour, where did you buy your airbrush ?

The Pimped DarkMech looks even better on those pics !

Kudos on the Epic titan too, looks terrific!

Love the walkers, they're disgustingly cool.

Thanks I'm thinking of making a DP sized Thousand sons head using plasticard, GS and a defiler mask.

Thanks again, the modelling job was easier than the paintob. Fortunately, I've managed to enter a lesser quality picture before the deadline

Thanks Yggs.The airbrush is a bitrthday present from my beloved wife. It's a Paasche VL, easy to use and to clean.
I'm quite happy with the Dakmech paintjob. I know it's far from being perfect, but it represent a lot of progress from what has been the standard of my painting skills these past fifteen years .

Thanks, just wait to see the plague hulk, this is going to be disgusting

Some more pics of my latest paintjobs (everything's still PIP)

First some Death Guard stuff:
The Rhinos:




The Plague Hulk:


I still don't know how to paint the metallic parts of the legs, I want some rust effect, but I don't know how to proceed, metallic or non metallic paints?
Any idea is welcome.

The Dreadnought:



I've aslo nearly finished my Thousand Sons Terminators:

I must still highlight the gold and the loincloth,and paint some some details.

And now something completely different,someone guess what this is going to be?


What do you think?

A "Defiled Plague Cart of Nurgle" ?

Love the 1k Sons Terminators...

everything you do here looks awesome keep up the good work.

as for what it might be a converted plague walker with a corpse cart on it?

cant wait to see more

Nice update Joe, glad your connected again

Termies have really come out nice
The Nurgle defiler armour plates look awesome!!!!

I can say that rust comes up best over metalic paints. Just dry brushing dark brown over it comes out nice. Then use sepia wash if you want run marks.

Love the green to brown transitions, very nice effect there.

Keep churning out the awesomeness!!

Love the terminators, really swish. How about verdigris effects rather than rust, just for variation?

Not necessarily "of Nurgle"
In fact, these are the first parts on the Corpse Grinder I'll try to build before starting to work more on my TS.

inmygravenimage wrote:Love the terminators, really swish. How about verdigris effects rather than rust, just for variation?

Thanks! I'd like to try verdigris on some of my vehicles. What base colour should I use?

I use watered down Hawk Turquoise for verdigris... Sometimes (often) with a bit of Skull White in it...

Yggdrasil wrote:I use watered down Hawk Turquoise for verdigris... Sometimes (often) with a bit of Skull White in it...

Correct me if I'm wrong: you start with a metallic layer (like boltgun metal), then add some brown to orange weathering, and finally some Hawk turquoise around the rivets?

For cryx I used a reverse method that I found on the privateer forums: start with gamecraft Deep Bronze Green, or similar (Vj Russian Green works quite well), heavy drybrush bestial brown, then lightly drybrush either dwarf bronze or Vj tarnished Copper (or both), sepia wash and then a very, very light dry brush of hawk turquoise. This gives a very rich verdigris, not as subtle as Ygg's awesome version. Excuse the rubbish pic/threadjack, but you get the idea:

Well, actually it's closer to : Chaos Black, stippled / drybrushed Boltgun Metal, then directly Hawk Turquoise + Skull White + Water in the recesses...

Example here : http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/226313-Gretchin%2C%20Orks%2C%20Warhammer%2040%2C000%2C%20Weathered.html

But I guess some brown / orange hue in the metal would be better beforehands...

Erh... Sorry graven, but I cannot pick any detail on that pic It looks too dark on my computer...

As for my so-called "subtle" technique, as you can see above, "simple" would be more appropriate lol...

But yours is definitely interesting, actually, I might give it a shot one day !

Yeah early days when I was rubbish at pics (and indeed pretty poor at painting). I'll try to get a better snap to share.

Thank you guys!

I'll post pics of the results soon.

Great looking in-progress pics as usual man! Not that I would expect any less

Man, I havent seen this in a while and bam 2 pages of Nurgly goodness... I especially what you did to the old space crusade dreadnought.

Those Thousand Sons Terminators are TOPS! Unfortunately, GW Legal is going to be contacting you soon because you had an awesome idea that they hadn't bothered with yet. Sorry.

Ace work on the Death Guard. You know how much I love anything Nurgle, and your work is always A+. Looking forward to seeing where the Plague Hulk goes.

I really like your T-sons terminators. Can we get a tutorial on how to make those outstanding helmets?

Wehrkind wrote:Great looking in-progress pics as usual man! Not that I would expect any less

Thanks Wehrkind, I wish I was able to show some finished models more often . Yet, since I have decided to start nothing new until I've done all I have in the "dark and shamefull drawer of projects to finish" it might happen more frequently, who knows...

dantay_xv wrote:Man, I havent seen this in a while and bam 2 pages of Nurgly goodness... I especially what you did to the old space crusade dreadnought.

I've been away from a decent connexion for a while, but as you can see, I try to be as productive as possible! I'm glad you like the dread, as I say, tentacles are a mark of good taste.

Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:Those Thousand Sons Terminators are TOPS! Unfortunately, GW Legal is going to be contacting you soon because you had an awesome idea that they hadn't bothered with yet. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure I could manage to get a compensation from them for the time I spent on the realisation of something they forgot to make so I was obliged to do it myself

I'm really glad you like it, for some times I considered to use your leather covering technique for the Land raider and rhinos, but I must confess I was lazy. BTW nice job on your possesed ones!

templarboy wrote:I really like your T-sons terminators. Can we get a tutorial on how to make those outstanding helmets?

Thanks, unfortunately posting a tuto for this on Dakka might not be recommended since it implies partial green stuff recasting. However, any interested people can PM me

Sorry for not posting anything new these last weeks, but being a responsible father sometimes mean sleepless nights and being too exhausted to get my stuff on the shelf to start working on something. I hope I'll be able to show you something new soon... or something old you've never seen yet

A la prochaine!

Joe

For the verdigris on my Necrosphinx and Khorne Berserkers I used a very watered down Verdigris (they have an actual colour for it) from Vajello.

http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=val_hob_gcl_pnt_168_000

I did a mix of goblin green and electric blue with alot of flow improver. As per a Lbursley tut vid. It came out very nice on the copper pipes on the back of the doom grot, but the pic does not show it well.

Hey there!

It's been some time since I last updated this thread, but, while working plasticard for my Gorkamorka fort, I took 10 minutes to add pistons on my Thousand Sons DP's mechanical wings:



I still need to add some GS to blend the pistons into its flesh, but what do you think so far?

I like it! Looks good! Can we get a wider shot the see the extent of the wings?

Edit* Nevermind. I looked back on the last page and found what I was looking for.

Excellent start, but be careful. I know a guy that has a terrain project that wound up stalling dead flat because he started doing a bunch of Plague Zombies while waiting for some glue on his bulkhead to dry....

That poor guy must feel despaired to see his terrain project in this state...I hope he won't do something he shouldn't, like...smashing a building...

The prince is back in the Dark Drawer of Projects to Finish Some Day, and I'm back on the fort, with a dremmel tool in my hand

That's an inspiring assembly of parts!

Hey there!

Yesterday, I've found some time to work on the princes, starting by preparing a propoer crown for my Thousand Sons DP.
Here's the rough first step (sorry for the blurry pic):


I've also worked on my first Winged DP:


What do you think?

I think the theme you are going with for all of this is impressive and is going to work brilliantly. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Well, I'll mount this crown on the same defiler mask I've used for this prince:

Then, with the help of GS and plasticard, I think I can get something with the real TS feel.

I'll use the same armor parts as for my two others plastic princes (basically the leg plates) as shoulderpads, and I'm thinking of using the DP arm with an axe and plasticard to build something like that:


What do you think?

Yeah, that will work perfectly. I'm not usually the Tzeentch guy (for a couple reasons) but I really enjoy the work you are doing here.

I've just received my last bitz order today, including the defiler mask for the TS daemon prince.
Here's a mock up of the head:

Once it will be glued, I'll fill the gaps with GS, then I'll work on the materialization of the stripes (should I carve them or use plasticard stripes?)

So, what do you guys think?

I think it'll look great!

I would use plasticard strips if you make sure they are uniform width.

I also think the butt plates on your winged daemon prince look pretty good!

Thanks man!

I'll go to my local modelism shop to check if they have 1,5mm stripes.

I've tried to draw the shape of the khopesh yesterday, but it wasn't what I'd call a succesful attempt... I guess I'll have to be patient.

Agreed on the plasticard strips, will look more uniform.

standin on the rooftops everybody scream your heaaaaaart oooout...

lost prophets...excellent name lol I'm really impressed with the amount of converting you're doing, I especially like the mechanical look on your tzeentch units, it gives them a very non magical steam punk feel that really makes them feel like they deserve that invuln save lol. Excellent job

@Skalk: The shop was closed yesterday, but I've found a piece of stripe in my stock. I'll start with it (hoping it will be enough)

@dbsamurai: I'm still trying to convince myself this band never existed...but what has been heard can't be unheard
I'm glad you like my conversions, thank you

Friggin' sweet!

Hey there!

Time for a small update on the TS Prince.

Since I had not enough stripe to build the crown, so I had to wait until my local shop re-open on wednesday.
I also cut a basic khopesh frame that I'll use as a base for my DP's weapon adding flames and runes.
Here's a picture of both (sorry for the blurry pic):

I'll try to finish the helmet soon before to spend more time working on the weapon.

Cheers!

Joe

Looks Legendary, Keep it up HJ

Yeah, this is going to be quite the epic achievement once you get it done. You and I seem to have a lot in common- too many cool projects, too much "real life" stuff, and too many distractions for our hobby time to focus on one thing at a time.

Looks great! Can't wait to see 1k sons Dp done!

You're right on this point. I have thousands of models to work on (I'm not exagerating), and my shelf of shame...well, I guess one life is too short for awesome people like us!

Yeah, that too. There is a female rocker playmobil fig I need to get to give my male rocker who drives the LEgo VW Van a companion.

At very least I may live to see the "completion" of my Death Guard. Just a few more units left.

As far as the rest of my collection... I'm doing some serious thinking about trading the things I know I'll never use for stuff I want. And 5 years from now I'll be sick to think about that time I traded those Space Wolves because now I'm 100% all about playing them... sometimes I think this "hobby" is actually an extension of mental illness.

I traded off my first Catachan Army. But I have amassed a bigger Catachan Army since that regret.

What if in reality this IS the 41st millenium, and WE are the "Fantasty" version of what hive punkers are playing?

I bet some hiver just said "My level 12 Surveyor is checking Dakka Dakka to see if anyone has updated thier threads", and the DM says "Roll a d20 to see if you noticed any updates".

*roll*
*19*

DM: "you notice that someone has posted to Hyenajoe's blog!"

Hiver: "Yes!"

[/nerd]

HAHAHA! I want my character re-rolled please

The new helmet is cool idea , consider that stored for later use.

I always keep an eye on this thread, two if I can spare them. You're an inspiration to chaos players everywhere

@RSJake: In the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millenium there is nothing better than roleplaying a 6th level office worker

@Tyranic Marta: Thanks for the kind words.

The total number of models I've ever sold would probably be around...five (and they were spares). Instead I'm trying to give my nephews some of my models so that they get decent armies whithout ruining themselves or their parents

Now a good new: remember the Sorceror Dread? Well he's done! (not painted, but I've finished the last modelling details adding seals of corruption). Pics will follow soon. I've also started to sculpt flames on the sword and ne helmet is nearly finished.

Cheers!

Joe

Here are the latest pics:
The helmet

The sorceror dread with the brand new corruption seals:


What do you guys think?

DP Head coming along nicely!
Scorcerer Dread is
Love it! The seals looks great! And I love the eye detail on the sarcophagus!

WOW! That is amazing! The GS work is so Tzeentchy that I'm sure the Changer of Ways is proud!

However, Father Nurgle would like to have a chat with you...

Thank you guys!

Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:

He already had, I'll see the doctor tomorrow

I'll soon start to work on a base for the Sorceror Dread. I'm planing to make a half burried plasticard Chaos star for it.
I have received enough bitz to build a second TS Termie squad with the same equipment as the first one (powerfists and combi-flamer + heavy flamer) However, I'll try to give them a more dynamic position by switching the combi-flamers arms with the twin-linked bolters arms. I hope to start them before Christmas.

Cheers!

Great read this one. Looking forward to seeing more on the Silver Tower and the Tzeeentch Sorceror Dread is brilliant. I'm also really impressed by the Aberration Daemon Princes. Always good to see Rackham stff getting used.

Im worried for you for when you attempt to paint that dreadnought... That thing has so many crevices

Awesome stuff.

Thanks Llamahead. My wife has Banned the Siver tower from the appartment because -I quote her- "this stuff is a mess generator"... There's still much work to do on it, but one day I'll finish it...

I should get some free time this afternoon, so I'll try to work on the TS prince.

GS probably isn't hard to use, I just fear it irrationally. TM has a crevasse painting phobia, like my GS phobia. Positive encouragement will always be in great supply here at Dakka!

I'm the opposite! I love using GS! I fear styrene! Although I haven't cut any since Dave told me "Score and snap! Score and snap!" So,maybe it go smoother now!

Score and Snap! and???
use sharp blades!

Great corruption seals and GS work on the dread. I have never seen corruption seals before , cool idea.

I'm glad you like it Neil. It's just a press moulded piece of GS based on the chaos star on one of the regular CSM breastplate then glued on a SM vehicle purity seal.

Now, here are solme new pics of the TS DP, I hope you'll like it:
