Im in the process of nurgling up all of DV... These guys are so good that I may not even need to use any GS

I really like that purple OldHammer mini. Great scheme.

DV chosen are looking great too, they really are impressive models.

EDC

@LeCacty : Yeah I remember you corrupted the loyalist of the DV box to nurgle, will be interesting to see what you do with the chosen.

@EDC : Thanks, glad you approve that black'n'purple


Allright, here is another finished dude, a terminator for the Asylum Knights !


And the mandatory group shot :

Woah. that last trio are really creepy and intimidating!

The Asylum Knight looks great! I really dig that dirty, worn orange you're using

Thank you guys, yeah, 'clean' is something I do not do ^^ !

Now I need to do at least two more of those, but I am starting to think that this warband look could also look cool on regular power armor dudes...

Love the massive pauldrons! They really work

Thanks man ! Plus they provide nice surfaces do do some freehand/watercolor shenanigans !

Good evening. Tonight I finished one more religious Leader for the Khornate Silent Reap warband : Bishop Karkhade.

Bishop Karkhade is one of the 8 bishops of Khorne that lead the Silent Reap in battle. As master of the Summoners, he directs the cults used to bring demons from their dark lair in the warp to the battlefield. Singing unholy hymns in a no longer human voice, the fronter between reality and madness shatters at each of his steps. Trading with beings from the warp is a deadly task, and his faith and unquestionable dedication to the blood god alone would not have keep Karkhade in such a power seat for long. The key to his longevity is his strength, and the respect he is able to instill into the warped creatures he claims to command. As a symbol of his might, he attaches to his armor the limbs of the undisciplined demons he punishes. After centuries of this unholy ritual, his armor has became more demon than metal, and provides him with an unpenetrable shell, as well as a precious source of power.

And a pick of all three Bishops assembled so far

The helbrute head works really well! I likey!

Thanks man. Totally impractical armor i reckon, but well, Khorne blesses !

Tonight, I want to show talk about this guy, another cybergladiator for the Vivisector cult, called Guttery.

Magos Deum usually tends to consider planets as disposable. Picking worlds with highly superstitious populations and a low technological system, he spends the first years of his colonization silently studying. He then murders the most influential personalities and use their technologically reanimated bodies as puppets, throwing entire culture into their own apocalypses and reigning over the ruins. He usually lives factory world populated by a people of slaves as support factories for the Vivisector Cult and never come back. There is one exception to this rule, in the world of Cain Slivia. This world used to be a proud industrial hiveworld, until an evolution in the warp storms generated by the proximity of the eye of terror isolated it from the imperium. Without the resources to feed its population and factories, Cain Slivia slowly fell into darkness, led by brutal warlords reigning from its now crumbling spires. Deum took over by choosing the most promising warlord, slaying him and raising him again as Guttery. With the support of both the Cult and Guttery, Cain Slivia eventually fell. Magos Deum probably saw more than just another slave factory world, as he return several times after the system was pacified. Even now that the discovery of new roads across the storm now regularly brings imperial exploration parties, Deum maintains an occupation force, with Guttery as head of the welcoming comity.

And this morning, painted this retro guy !

After millenniums of fighting with different Iron Warrior Companies, Commander Valban has become an expert in fortification building and destruction. Since his integration to the Vivisector Cult alongside a detachment of Iron Warrior Brothers, he has become responsible for securing the many secret laboratories and stronghold of the cult. Trough clever traps, use of dominant geographical positions, minefields, disposable footsoldiers, and usually tons and tons of concrete, he sets up defensive systems allowing a minimal number of defenders to hold the positions while the Magos secure their heretical works...

Ooh I've never seen that one before!

Yeah, was not really looking for him, but found it when trying to optimize postage with another one and immediately knew I needed to have one. I really love the scuplt, there is something primitive or tribal about this helmet.

Those terminators look great. Love the ogre fist.

Thanks Fifty ! Yeah there is just enough room in it to fit a space marine arm.

Finished my last Oldhammer renegade

The Iron Warrior known as Arkastle is as any of his brother a deadly opponent, with a fighting style and skills learned through a long existence on battlefields across the galaxy. The campaign that really forged his specialty took place in an asteroidal mining complex in the eye of terror. For decades, a battle raged on between the Black Legion and the Iron Warriors for the control of these subterranean strongholds and their resources. Since then, and especially since he joined the Vivisector Cult, Arkastle has been the expert on underground warfare. Be it for securing a mining exploitation, digging assault tunnels using heavy excavation machinery or coordinate slaves that silently dig with hand and shovel in order to dynamite the enemy trenches overnight...

And a group shot of all the Oldhammer renegades that serve the Vivisector Cult... For now.


And that was all I had to paint. Back to building mode, need to finish a Dreadnought.

Allright, so back to the assembling business. Assembled these five demons with guns from Prodos last night, no conversion apart for a slight repositioning of the leader's arm. Very cool amount of details I reckon, the work on the armor plates is brilliant. Only thing that disturbed me a bit was that some of em are smiling. Smiling ! In the grim future where there is only war, how could that be??? Considered replacing their faces with daemonette ones, fut finally i think I'll go for face paints in order the make them look mean. Oh and, if you think these are some outrageous examples of female armor, well, also got myself a box of Mabs...


In parallel, started to work on the Khorne dread's arms, goinf for a powerfist made out of ogre blades and a multimelta.

Wow, that Dread is insanely awesome!

Thanks man, lots more to do, but adding these arms definitely feels like a nice step forward.

Evening fellas !

In parallel of that big dread I indulged in some cultist kitbashing. The idea is to turn that corrupted eldar into a squad of 10 (to begin with).

First we have a four arm armored lady


Then some claw spawning dude


Then a big hairmetal flamethrower guy


Then someone who likes to lick skulls


Then a greenstuff demon lady with tentacles


All will be painted black and grey, with only orange wires feeding drugs directly into their brains.

Thanks for looking, and do let me known what you think, they are still in early WIP !

And four more perverted eldar cultists WIP to complete the squad :

Some warrior with a genestealer's buttocks as a mask/face


Big shoulders and a lauging face


A possessed longnecked lady


And some tall dude with a mace and again, some other model's buttocks as a face...

Cursed be the emperor, I am out of glue.
Well, at least two chaos eldars are done, bu damn, I need to glue more spikes and chains to the dread...

Bleuck. Blanchian nastiness at it's finest.

Thank you Llamahead, these were quite a lot of fun do make, I'll probably do more cultists after this lot...

I like the use of a Kroot head (it is a Kroot head, isn't it?) on the last model. I have that head lying around and never thought of using it in such a way.

Thanks CorpusChain but no, Kroot heads are a bit more spikey. I thought this was a daemonette head, but I am having problems identifying it for sure on pictures of the sprue.
But you are right, cool stuff to do with kroot heads, I merged some to my CSM chosens' helmets in my old-still-in-storage Black Legion Army.

Good evening Dakka !

Tonight I got some work done on the khorne dreadnought. We are getting pretty close to completion I think, still needs more chains and bodyparts though... And paper scrolls where I can scribble blasphemies and a khorne Icon next to the brasero. Added a prodos PIP demon lady for scale.


Let me know what you think !

Nifty weapons those blades on both arms might look cool. To be honest I quite like those Daemon ladies as Daemons don't need armour its the Stripper Templars who fight them that irritate me.

Thanks Llamahead !

Yeah I see what you mean, the daemons gals fit in the 40k Universe as slaanesh daemons, but their templar opponents would also need to be converted to demons/dark eldar maybe ? Or it would mean the the Sisters of Battle finally decided to worship slaanesh...

Damn, you really know how to make a dreadnought look mightily impressive

I really love how you combined the old RT dread with the Kastelan parts, although I can imagine it not being easy to get them to work together

Thanks Ezra ! Yeah, the dimensions were allright, but had to glue the front plate with an with an higher inclination, cut some parts of the kastellan's back in order to fill the gaps and finish with an ogre kingdoms cavalry skull...

Allright, finished painted on of the Prodos Ladies. Hopefully it made justice to a very slick sculpt.





Also got a double supply drop today, first off are these four renegades, that will thicken the Warp Messiahs's ranks


Then we have this Hitech not fallen angel, that should do great as an highly ranked priest of the Silent Reap


But I also worked, some stuff, such as finishing the khorne dread by giving it a trophy rack and some chains



And put the finishing touches to the Eldar Slaanesh cultists :

Evening Dakka, finished a cultist tonight !

Among the Shades, empty eldar shells emptied of their purity and filled with madness, Howl was the first to fall to darkness. He then developed a taste for hunting foes in the slaaneshy and tzeentchian wasteland of the Sacrifice to Sin's homeworld. He apparently played a key role into the tracking, capture and perversion of the other shades, which does not stop him from fighting alongside them when the opportunity comes.

Evening fellas !
Second Prodos lady done.

Good day Dakka, finished painting another of the Eldar Cultists, the skull licking guy


The shade known as Cannibal received a very handy gift in exchange for his soul, as his mutated mouth now secretes an acidic spit, allowing him to dissolve the flesh of his enemies. One they have fallen, he usually feasts on their corpses, but this depraved behavior is not only a way to honor Slaanesh, but a mean to acquire information. By passing his demonic tongue on the corpses of a fallen enemy, he can decipher some of its last memories. As bones last a bit longer against his acidic saliva, he regularly keeps some with him when tracking the companions of his las foe.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
These are definitely some slaaneshy Days, One more cultist done.

Paints combining them nicely and enjoying the drow vibe!

Thanks Llamahead ! Well, here goes one more !

You guys fed up with these gals yet ^^ ? Missile launcher done, only one left to go.

And one more possessed eldar !

For forfeiting their souls and purity, the shades received various rewards such as madness and demonic mutations. The twisted ways of chaos gave Maimed Harpy a pair of wings, allowing her to quickly get her opponents in reach of her deadly claws. That was until a keeper of secrets decided that such a mutation was a much to precious gift for such a slave, and tore down one of her wing. Since then, she is one again condemn to walk the wastelands...

Brilliant stuff. Prodos villains are looking great. Bikini clad bazooka toting space daemons for the win.

Thanks Llamahead, well, just finished the leader :



And a group shot :


The Sacrifice to Sin's homeworld is an ever mutating demon world representing their twisted allegiances to both Slaanesh and Tzeentch. As such, it is in constant mutations, as perfumed oceans of acid dry overnight to leave place to forests of flesh and bones. Still, some of its features have been kept unchanged since the world's birth, such as the damnation wells, pits of corruption that will corrupt any sacrifice thrown into it. Another place that existed for millenniums is the mountain of eternal balance. Built atop of a mountain that dominates the wasteland, this building consists in a great number of daemonic temples suspended in unstable equilibrium with chains of demon metal. Each temple is populated with demons and represents a trade-off between both gods of the Sacrifice to Sin. Depending on the faith the demons populating a temple are able to inspire to mortals, or on their martial achievements, the building raises or falls. The grinding of chains, the chants of demons, and the screams from battles between temples make the mountain of eternal equilibrium a place of exquisite cacophony.

The Cohort of Light is one such demon warband, who build its temple on the mountain pretty recently and chained it to the blasphemous machine. Very popular with slaanesh oriented warbands, they have been able to make their church raise toward the gods, therefore precipitating other temples in disgrace, and towards the ground.

And one more cultist, actually drilled the eye sockets in order to give her a more undead look...

Digging the conversions that you are doing. I love the absolute variety and madness among all the models. Really top notch conversion work. Consider me subb'd.

Keep up the great work

Thanks a lot Lorax, madness should soon continue with the last corrupted eldars, then the classic renegades.
I also started slapping the base colors on the Dread :

Do not worry, the flesh tones will end up much more demonic red flesh like...

Allright, one more flamethrower wielding possessed eldar cultist.

Hell yeah, One more purple mutated eldar

One more done, probably one of my favorite design of the lot.


And received these two bloodletters this morning, already had the right one but I missed the other. So just one more to track down and I'll have the complete set...



Automatically Appended Next Post:
And finally the cultist leader, will try to take some group shots tomorrow...

I really like the cultist leader, and the way it shaping up! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Lorax !

Well to conclude that slaaneshy pruple wave, took a couple a group shots.



Time to open the red paint now...

All hails Khorne, the dreadnought is finished.


And with a dreadnought converted and painted for each of my main warbands, it was time to take a family picture :

That Dread is brilliant real deranged shrine look to it

Thanks a lot Llamahead, deranged is the idea !

Amazing work, Kernel! The dreadnoughts look absolutely awesome together

Thank you Ezra, yeah, it was a very tight fit into the lightbox ^^ !

Oh man, those Deamonettes in power armour look fantastic. Excellent work.

EDC

Thank you Evil Doctor Cheese,

Well tonight I finished painting these two old school bloodletter. Really loving their twisted poses



And the whole gang :

Prodos chicks look great, love that skin + warpaint Been waiting for an excuse to pick up a squad or two of Mabs

And holy fakk, the crazy chaos conversions going on in this thread

- Salvage

Thanks Boss Salvage, the mabs are still unassembled, but they'll be in the next batch ^^ !

Excellent Bloodletters Probably my favourite version of those Daemons

Thank you Llamahead ! Yeah I am also a big fan of the designs of these demons, like the illustration of a medieval demon you would expect to see in an old grimoire...

Tonight I finished painting two more bloodletterhead marines for the Warp Messiahs warband.


And a shot of the two side by side.


Two done, and two more to finish...

And as promised, the last two :





And a group shot of my eight Warp Messiahs so far :


So i have not seen any other bloodletter head design than the five present in the group shot above, but I'll probably find two more old designs that fit the squad nicely in order to get the squad to ten.

I have been beyond impressed with the serious quantity of output you continue to make. Loving the conversions, especially on the old school models!

Well, so many gorgeous models out there, have to get them painted ^^ !
Thanks for the support, however tonight I will be presenting something that is neither a conversion, neither classical, but still a really great scultp imho, the Archfather Sammael by Hitech

Cardinal Emissar is one of the eldest and highest ranking members of the Silent Reap. As the last tremors of the Battle of Terra were felt throughout the galaxy, a joint force of Word Bearers and World Eaters that would later form the Silent Reap was retreating aboard a renegade battleship. On their trail, was a loyalist barge, aiming to destroy as many heretics ships as possible. More heavily armed and fitter for battle, the loyalists managed to cripple the Reap's ship just as it entered the warp. However, while the space battle occured, some Astartes of dubious allegiance managed to neutralize the loyalist ship's weaponry, and have it follow the renegades into the warp. Both ships, heavily damaged and having suffered terrible losses, ended up drifting into the warp. For centuries isolated and cut from the galaxy, both ships evolved as separated universes. On the renegade ship, World Eaters and Word bearers fought over resources and territory, bleeding each others dry. In the mean time, the loyalists were month after month drifting closer. Unexpectedly, their weapons did not fire when in range, and no defense force awaited the renegade boarding party when the two ships eventually collided. Instead, he that should later be known as Cardinal Emissar was awaiting the renegades surrounded by the long decomposed bodies of his sacrificed crew. He then offered salvation to both warbands, as during their long warp drift, Khorne had talked to him, and taught him the new laws of the newborn Silent Reap.

Evening guys. With the paintqueue cleared it is time to get assembling again, and I started with some more indecent prodos ladies :


And recently received four of these guys, loving the bestial face. Back in the days genestealer cult could very well fall to chaos, so that could be an interesting path to follow...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS @ Mabs

- Salvage

That last dreadnought (or whatever war machine it is) is immense! I literally said, 'wow' out loud.

corpuschain wrote:That last dreadnought (or whatever war machine it is) is immense! I literally said, 'wow' out loud.

Thanks man, yeah, it is a dreadnought, some kind of Khorne heresey era contemptor ! And subtlety was not the objective !

Well, Made some feet ^^

Good day Dakka !

Went a bit mad today and started building a giant obliterator based on the AoS Khorgorath
Was also the opportunity to try out the magick sculpt resin.


And made a second pair of foot...

Very nice work, KernelTerror! That obliterator is looking ace. I especially like the boar head. What model did that head come from?

Thanks ! It is from and Ork Charriot, that is why it had no lower half, and had to sculpt one. That's a good think though this way it is able to receive a plasmagun tongue.

Some more work on my porkliterator, received some clothing, and wiring...


On the side, gave some arms and weapons to the old school genestealer hybrids


Aaaand also made some more feet...

Applied the greenstuff to the porkliterator ! just have to add some tubes at the end of the heavy bolter's ammo belts, base him and he will be ready for paint...

The porkliterator is fantastic! Great sculpting & kit-bashing (that tyranid arm is a nice touch). Your old school genestealer hybrids are also looking good. I cannot wait to see that dreadnought!

edit: How do you like the magick sculpt resin? I can imagine that trying to do that large of an area in green stuff could get irritating.

Thanks man, I am pretty eager to start painting it.

Really find of that first try with magick sculpt, I really think it could become a regular tool alongside greenstuff. As you say, it is definitely easier to sculpt large areas than it would be with greenstuff. On another hand, before drying up, it is less structurally strong than GS, so there is room for both resins.

What I have left to try out it using water to make is sculptable for a longer time, I think i saw some people doing it, sounds promising...

By all that is unholy, Kernel, I don't know what it is you smoke before you start modelling but seeing what you can create with it, I want some of it!

Jokes aside, that 'porkliterator' is looking absolutely amazing, can't wait to see how it progresses!

Thanks man ! That would be a mix of greenstuff and agrax earthshade, rolled in plasticard. real gateway to the warp.

Fantastic work as ever, the Porkliterator is brilliant. Really imaginative.

EDC

Thanks a lot EDC !

Only one more dude to finish before switching back to paint mode, some big dude that will be a fallen angel follower for the Hitech guy...


Then two supply drops came in today, first, some space crusade era CSMs :


And a TGG pregnant ghost or something :

Aaand all done !


And a group shot of the paintqueue :


Now back to painting mode, I have some mabs to basecoat...

Good evening guys, finished painting a mab tonight

Yeah, sorry if you expected some kind of perfect bosom, but she already had a scar on her face, and though that wearing such outrageous female armor will probably get her a flashwound or two. So I might have added one or two with a knife ^^.

This girls will be some king of execution commando for Mother Squid (my TGG nepharya), I think the paintjob brings them together nicely even while they are from different manufacturers.

MAAAAAAB

Nice job on the first gal, weird yellowy skin + purpley armor is a neat combo. Also had no idea that there were those big skulls incorporated in the sculpt O_O

- Salvage

Thanks !
Yeah, aside from the obvious attributes, there are also a great deal of very cool details in these minis, the skulls, and I especially like the wires that enter their heads.

Another day, another mab :


And the two sisters blasting stuff up :

Yick looking far better than I thought.

Thanks a lot Llamahead !

Well, took a break from mabs in order to finish this big fellah today :

And another mab done !


On another note, I just received my Silver Tower box, the next building session should be fun ^^ !

I like the paint work ont he mabs! They are looking great! Silver Tower should be a great distraction, I am about 1mm shy of pulling the trigger on that myself. Too much other stuff to do though!

Wow, that model based on the Korgorath is amazing! I love the huge claw!

@CorpusChain : Thanks ! Compared to the dreads that took me years to build, this one went pretty quickly, just had to add guns and weapons in a crazed manner.

@Lorax : Thanks a lot, well here is one more !

Hopefully the third eye, just painted, does not look too bad !

Good evening dakka !

Just finished my space crusade CSM squad !


After some hesitation, chose to go with a color scheme close to the guitar player on my Slaanesh Dread

Let me know what you think !

Good day Dakka !
I finished the last Prodos Mab this afternoon


And took some group shots of the girls :

Evening Fellas !
Been a busy weekend, now these four guys join the ranks of the Vivisector Cult. Now I know they are technically not chaos, but I kind of like the Idea of a genstealer cult falling to chaos, and being lured in joining the vivisector cult by an heretic magos, to serve as test subjects. And who knows, maybe their link to the hivefleet could lead to capturing other creatures for chaotic perversion ?

Weren't Genestealer Cults Chaos worshippers in Rogue Trader anyway?

Very nice!

Damn, I love the off the wall creativity here! Colors too!

Great work on the Prodos Mabs.
You should join http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1080/678971.page discussion about Prodos Space Crusade miniature range.
I see you are located in France,
If you come to this event http://joutesdutemeraire.fr/ bring them to make some fan service on my Space Crusade board versus my boarding teams

Mabs look great. Interesting idea with the choas genestealer cultists.

EDC

Wow that is some turn out, thanks a lot guys !

@Llamahead : Well I know I read in some old WD that given the circumstances, they would join with chaos in order to survive. Plus the eight point star on the chair of that ancient genestealer patriarch on a throne (need to get myself one of those...). So definitely not aberrant I'd say. My Idea would be that some high ranking dark mechanicus member/heretical ordo xenos personel would ally with a genestealer cult in order to trigger an hivefleet attack on an imperial world. Then seize the opportunity to capture some specimen/cloning material and produce their own tyranid/demon hybrids by combining science and demonology. Would be a suitable excuse to build some creepy stuff imho...

@Kriegspiel : Thanks, I'll join the thread and say hi ! I'll see where I am at in November, could be interesting indeed ! Fun idea to paint some crusaders in loyalists schemes btw ^^, really like the substitution pics you posted in the space crusade thread.

Tonight I have another one to post, a very cool sculpt from raging heroes, that will be the first member or a kind of demon aristocracy for the Sacrifice to Sin warband.

Evening fellas, finished this last big dude thjis evening


It is said that shortly after the Battle of Terra, when the corrupted Astartes Cardinal Emissar revealed its future faith to the Silent Reap, he was accompanied by some elite renegade members of his former chapter. Katar Hellgrin was one of these, and has been by the Cardinal's side since then. For his faith and centuries of service, Khorne rewarded him well, and mutated him into a towering demonic monster, mechanically slaughtering the blood God's Foes. He goes to battle with an heavy meltagun and a cursed demonic fist, allowing him to disintegrate the flesh of his ennemy, letting him collect some of their bones as unholy relics.

Thanks for watching, that was the last in my painting queue, I am now going back to converting mode. Time to deface that Silver Tower box...

Allright, feels good to be back in converting mode.
So, I decapitated all the Silver tower's goblins, and replaced their face with mechanicus pipes. They are aiming for the same look as the Hooded artillery

They all received additional appendage, just need to cover them in a bit more greenstuff cloth and wire and they should be done...

So after decapitating all these gobs, I was left with some very cool looking four eye hooded heads. Gotta find a use for them, so I made this nurgle cultist/

I am still considering making more of those...

Also gave a Tzangor an old genestealer gun.


And finished clothing the dark mechanicus servants :

Evening people, tonight I assembled more damned souls who will join the war wanderers.

First off, a very simple conversion of a Silver Tower cultits. Loved the religious pose, he will join the vivisector cult as zoidberg the genestealer priest responsible for involving his brethens with the Vivisector Cult.


Wanted to have ten of my lower class mechanicus slaves, so decapitated a skaven that just happened to pass by.


And finally, assembled these zombie bodyguards from raging heroes. As with the previous one, I am really fond of their distorted/awkward zombie poses. I imagine them moving as the nurses in the Silent Hill movie.

Excellent stuff looking forward to seeing what you do with the big beasties.

Cheers Llamahead !
By the big beasties you are thinking about silver tower's ogroid thaumaturge ? Not sure yet, but the mini looks brilliant. I am currently awaiting a big shipment of metal that include quite a log of old school big dudes, might be some set mixing potential there, we'll see...

Awwright, here come two more skinny nurgle priests...



...and one more dark mechanicus slave

Good day Dakka, three more WIP to present today !

First off, decided that Chaos could do without proportions, and assembled this cybergladiator


And then come these two new nurgle cultists :



Thanks for watching !

Skinny cultist dudes are looking legit! And here's a belated high five for completing all the MABS

- Salvage

Thanks a lot Boss Salvage, High Five !

Well between the Hellfest and a summer school I did not do much these last days, but I received a supply drop full of metal. First off these six old demon princes, most of the bits are off camera, but I'll strip them before assembly.


Also got this spawn, always wanted one of these, although it might ended up converted...


And finally these two tyranid guards, massive pieces of metal that should be fun to turn into dark mechanicus experiments.

I'm absolutely impressed by the creativity and ability you show with all your conversions. It's truly impressive what you can do with a few bits and some green stuff.

A torrent of awesome. Love the Nurgle priests and cultists.

EDC

Thanks guys, means a lot !

Well, demon princes are cleaned and assembled.

Like a dummy I completely forgot about basing, so my order just left AnvilIndustry. That aside, a few more customization on each of them, and they'll be ready to join the next painting batch.

Good day fellas, a while back I did some feet, well, today I started making a pair of legs to go with.

Obviously this is a very early WIP, they'll get rivets, pistons, wires, ornaments and armor plates.

What class of titan is that going to be?

An Imperial Knight, not decided on a weapon layout yet, many cool ones to pick from...

Good evening Dakka, I just finished my Tzeentch Tower gob conversions, the Vivisector cult-s Crawling Servants. They are the lowest ranking mutants in the cult, no more than disposable tools mutated or technologically enhanced for a single function.













I Still have to take pictures of the last two, plus the group shot, unfortunately my batteries ran out. I'll post them later on.

Excellent

Thanks Llamahead, here is the whole group and the two missing servants :

Finished the two leaders of the crawling servant cutists





And the complete squad


And finally based my demon prince squad :

Evening guys, been a while but I'm back !

Tonight, I finished my raging heroes cyberzombies, who will join the vivisector cult as battle oriented mechanicus slaves.

I love how you can take so many different minis from different settings and make them part of one thing. Not just the paint either, the fluff you have for these guys is awesome

Thanks a lot Kurnost ! Today I painted yet another cybergladiator, named King Ghoul.


The Vivisector Cult's Magos Deum usually preys on worlds of low technological level in order to turn them into religiously controlled factories. He usually disciplines them by turning their leaders and key figures into his mindless cybergladiators. For decades, the warrior that would become King Ghoul wedged war in a medieval world thorn by rival warbands. Only once he turned to the blood god did he gain a sufficient advantage and eventually united the whole planet under his fist. Centuries later, that world's resources awoke Magos Deum's greed, and his slaves started waging war against the Khorne worshippers. The king defeated many gladiators in combat before being slain by an heavy energy weapon, that melted half of his body. Out of respect for his Strength, Magos Deum resurrected him as King Ghoul, and let him carry his ancestral axe and shield. Despite all the efforts of the Magos, his Khornate past also sometimes resurfaces in the midst of battle, but the rage that it causes can usually be channeled towards the enemy...for now.

And a few group Shots :

Skins excellent.

Wow! I really like that gladiator squad! Everything looks sufficiently related and sufficiently chaos. Nice work!

Thanks a lot fellas, much appreciated !

Hello Dakka, finished my demoin beastman sniper tonight !


Amdusias has been around the Sacrifice to Sin warband's operations since its very beginning. Not only is he part of the demonic creatures that hunt damned soul on the warband's homeworld. He has been one of the most proficient purveyor or game for the cult's hunting field. Whatever creature he originally was, Amdusias was mutated beyond recognition, but he still is very much mortal, and as such able to travel a long way from the eye of terror. Roaming in hostile territory, he observes inhabitant of unsuspecting worlds, and selects their most promising members. Once settled on a target, he uses his demonic rifle in order to hit it with a pure lightning of warp energy. Soon after the hit was carried, a creature similar to the one that was just assassinated is born on the sacrifice to sin's demonic world, a perfect and rewarding game to track down and sacrifice to the gods...

Great conversion, and the blue/gold power armor really pulls it off

- Salvage

Thanks a lot Boss Salvage !

Tonight I finished another Silver Tower conversion, this Genestealer Priest

No precise redacted background for this one, but corrupted tyranids will be joining my dark mechanicus warband.And it started with this priest, allying his Genestealer cult to a chaos church controlled by the vivisector cult as a mean of survival on an hostile imperial world...

Damn dude. Great to have you back and churning out some top stuff.

Love those mech slaves and that sniper dude is off the hook!

EDC

That Genestealer priest is amazing, and makes me picture a small Lovecraftian Cthulu cult themed army!

Oh the possibilities!

Thanks a lot guys, very kind of both of you to say. And yeah, I am very eager to continue on this Chaos Genestealer sect. Recently went berserk on ebay, and awaiting a shipment that will contain, among other things, two old school lictors with nice tentacular faces...

But tonight, I want to present you this Nurgle cultist :

Four more to go, they'll also get some backstories, but now I need some sleep, Nurgle will surely forgive...

Oh, and forgot to post that one yesterday,


Thanks for watching !

Did I already say that the guy with big legs looks like something from Doom? Well, if not, I'll say it again. I love it.

Thanks a lot Fifty, completely disregarded proportions for that build, so I am glad you like him !

Finished two more Nurgle Cultist today



The derelict ship Mill of Sickness Grains is a place in the Eye of Terror where chaos commanders can recruit a huge variety of Nurgle worshippers. Demons, Hordes of zombies, mutants or even renegade marines will joyfully join a conflict for the glory of Nurgle and for personal profits. The "Slithering Purgists" provide a very interesting set of skills to an army. After centuries following mortal renegade warbands, these corrupted medics have an unique knowledge of the different presents the chaos gods lay on their followers. Regularly inspecting the troop's different mutations, they decide what limbs need to be cut off, medicated, drugged, or even remutated through worship. Their simple presence greatly improves the durability of a warband staying for too long close to the mutating powers of the warp, by not letting its soldier degenerate too much into uncommandable beasts. For the right price, they even work with non Nurgle followers, providing their experience to dark mechanicus mad scientists.



And a group shot :

Your making Silver Tower very hard to resist.....

Fantastic work, yet again!

EDC

@Llamahead : Hehehe, sorry about that ! But it is true that the variety of miniatures contained in this box makes it very interesting for converting...

@EDC : Thanks a lot ! I see you are posting from Portugal, I was in Lisbon a few weeks ago and had a great time, hope the same goes for you.

Allright, I just finished my two last Nurgle Cultists. Also decided to try including the fluff in the image themselves, I am tempted to stick to this format, let me know what you tkink about it if you have a particular opinion on the matter.





And the full squad


Thanks for watching !

On another note, I was about to start painting my six old school demon princes yesterday, but changed my mind.

Guess I was too happy to realize I could build six of them with the bits I had received, and settled for minor conversions without thinking of a concept for the squad.
So back to the drawing board, as they were all that was left in my painting queue anyway, the main idea for now is to :
* Rework the heads, try not to change the original faces too much, but give them a more elongated skull, maybe with appendages...
* For now three of them have the same face, this needs to be addressed.
* Replace the original wings with something more crazy

Good evening Dakka !

Tonight I made two more sets of knight legs !

Next step, bulk them up and start working the armor platings...

Good evening Dakka !

Today I worked on customizing an old school demon prince, Its main feature are these tentacle wings. He also got new weapons, including a demon scepter-blade.

Some more sculpting in order to smooth things up. I'll wait before he is painted in order to decide whether I apply this design to his five brothers, but I am pretty happy with it for now...

Earlier on, after reading Nurgle5's great looking Nurgle warband, I decided I needed some chubby marines too, here goes, my first slaanesh hedonist astartes....

Experimented with a new concept today, by finishing this Iron warrior. His shoulder pads are actually big chunks of demonic rust...

Good day people, just finished this big Sacrifice to Sin dude. It was really fun to make, I'll definitely make some more...

Some more amazing models! Loving it.

Thanks a lot CorpusChain !

Tonight I finished an Iron Warrior !



And a picture with the other rusty looking Iron warrior I did previously :

He's a mean looking marine!

Thanks a lot CorpusChain !

Just finished this old school demon prince conversion. Pretty happy with how the tentacle-wing thing came out, so I guess I need to make 5 more pairs then...


Let me know what you think !

Good day people, wip update of what I have been working on lately.

First, decapitating a metal tyranid guard without damaging the head is not easy. But now I have been able to start sculpting it into some kind of flesh church...Some experiment by my dark mechanicus warband...


Then started attaching a pink horror to a throne, he will become the advisor of Magos Deum, the creator of the cybergladiators posted earlier. Again, it will be darkmechanicusified later on...


And finally, kept working on the knight legs, here is one with pistons and the first surfaces of its final armor plating...

Amazing stuff as always, Kernel! That Knight leg certainly looks promising

Thanks a lot Ezra Tyrius, yeah, hopefully these legs will work, the addition of the piston already makes them a little more believable I think...

Update time, did some more work on connecting the demonic advisor to his throne.

Good day Dakka ! Did some more work on my tyanid guard conversion.

He got a head, and I also completely replaced the arches on his sides. The previous ones were shaped in the wrong direction, these new ones are much more respectful of the original model's flow I think...

Hello dakka ! Modest update today, here are the knight legs with some basic sculpting, tying the different piston lodges together.

The other two pairs are not far from this stage, once this is done I should be able to finish the lower parts of the legs with the detailing work...

Good evening chaos !
Finished the demonic advisor tonight, can't wait to slap some paint on it !

Awesome (disturbing, weird, perfectly chaos) stuff :p
How do you come up with some of these concepts?

Thanks Kurnost ! I'd way with an unholy amount of internet, and of plastic pieces ^^ !

For tonight's update, here is a Silver tower conversion, made a daemonette noble out of the elf chick.


And here comes a reaaaallly long picture to show the picture on the enhanced tyranid guard. It started receiving weapons and tools, still needs many more wires and tentacles...


Thanks for watching

Wow, that demonic advisor is awesome. I've always liked the idea of a flying throne or palanquin. I'll take a look at your other stuff!

Thanks a lot B-Tone ! Stay tuned then, once I receive the bits I'll get started on the Advisor's boss, who will follow the same concept, only bigger and meaner !

And I seem to have a thing for weird floating things these days, just finished the tyranid cuthulu mechanicum guard... Probably vey hard to read right now, meaning I'll have to be carefull with the palette or it will end up a mess...

More tentaculy goodness, today I finished this demon prince.

Everything is very cool. I love the deamonic adviser, deamonette and the daemon prince. Really characterful.

EDC

Cheers EDC ! Tonight I finished a second demon prince, the standard bearer.


Also some progress on two more pairs of knight legs :

Good day fellas. Finished a demon prince today


And a picture of the two finished ones :

Four more to go...

Excellent stuff the Daemonic advisor is sublime although I can't help but imagine him as a TV host..........

Thanks Llamahead, yeah he would definitely fit the role.
Now on Warp News : the demonic Advisor is painted :


And a group shot with some slaves, love how he towers above the scum...

Fantastic work as always, Kernel! Your creativity never ceases to amaze

Thanks a lot my friend !
Tonight I finished the Silver Tower Daemonette conversion. Switched back to the original polearm instead of the blade I previously fitted, as the rest of the fumes would have looked weird otherwise...

Excellent stuff

Thanks a lot Llamahead !

Good evening chaos, took a while, but finally finished this dark mechanicus tyranid guard !



Thanks for watching !

Some damn fine gribble right there

- Salvage

Wow you have such an awesome Lovecraftian style to your conversions KernelTerror! I found your plog and went back through it all, its lovely... well weird ... but in a great way! The gods are certainly pleased! I love it all!

@Boss Salvage : Thanks ! That actually is a brilliant idea, looking for inspiration in microscopic organisms, definitely will do.

@genom.cor : Thanks you very much, weird is what I aim for ^^ !

Now, on to the demon princes, here come the third one, the flag bearer


And a group shot

Yeerk definitely a fearsome sight.

Thanks Llamahead ! And there are still three more to go...

Tonight I have three WIP to share, first off, a battle magos


Another less advanced one


And finally, trying parts of a tyranid gun as a head for a nurgle cultist...Still need to sleep on it, a bit unsure about it to be honest.


Thanks for stopping by !

Another WIP post to show you the first steps on a chaos sorcerer :

Awesome greenstuffing buddy! Love that magos and sorcerer! Idk about the head on that cultist but the more I look at it the more ok it seems to me, especially after paint. Keep up the awesome work!

Excellent and terrifying work.

EDC

That book is awesome how did you do it?

Thanks a lot guys !

@genom.cor : Well as you'll see in the pictures I added some kind of metal crest, I think it works nicely.

@Llamahead : The book is pretty simple actually, started with plasticard for the cover, and bits of paper for the pages. I am pretty confident the glue and basecoat will hold them together, we'll see when he is painted.

Now here come the WIP shots, starting with some work on the head of the cultist


The more wiring in order to finish the battle magos


And some sculpting on the neck and arms of the sorceror.

I forgot this existed!!! Your GSing has gotten phenomenal, and there's a lot of really clever bit usage. GG!

Sweet stuff. I always liked floaty tenticly chaos like what you've got going here. And I like that chaos cultist's tyranid head.

Thanks a lot my friends, your support is always appreciated.

Today, I finished the sorceror, He received a a familiar and a backpack that will never let him fit through a door...Guess he'll have to blow the walls off.


Worked on the second battle magos' backpack :


And finally, I also sculpted some legs :

Love those legs and that head on the sorceror is inspired! Where did that fish come from it's just so Mordheim it's inspired!

It looks better and better. I like that You are using many bits in one miniature . I'd like to see progress with this big robot (Knight).

I'm really liking your cultists.

EDC

Great head on this lad, continued smart use of gribbly bits

- Salvage

Thanks a lot fellas !

@Llamahead : It is actually one of the familiars from Silver Tower, but it could as well be from an illustration in a medieval heretic book, funny looking, but also pretty occult.

@EDC : Thanks EDC, cultists definitely are some of my favorite models to build, pretty much anything go and almost any concept can be explored.

@Boss Salvage : I actually received that "head" in a mixed bit bag and immediately thought that it needed to be a sorceror head. The rest of the model happened around it ^^.

@ROTTEN_FACTORY : Well I actually have been working on it a bit, currently trying out some armor platings for the upper legs, always interested in suggestions of course :

Short update, as I assembled the four legs I presented a few posts earlier.
This model will represent four demons that have been fused together as a punishment for some terrible blasphemy, each of them facing a different way.

Cool concept. Which Choas god(s) will the daemons represent?

EDC

Nice update. what is this white material that you use for sculpting?
Some tutorials which can be useful for making parts of armour :

Concept art. If You want You can use it :
http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/829520-ROBOT.html

keep going !!

@EDC : Thanks ! It is destined to join the Sacrifice to Sin, so two slaaneshys and two tzeentchians. Now that you mention it having four of them would have been the opportunity to also tag in Nurgle and Khorne, but I think the legs are too thin for them anyway. Plus, The reason behind this mini is that I ended up with four hydra necks that will give them a nice sly look.

@ROTTEN_FACTORY : Thanks ! The grey stuff is Magic Sculpt, pretty nice to sculpt large bodyparts, and I usually go back to greenstuff for the details. Definitely will look at the tutos, this guy will need custom made armor. And as usual from you, great concept art...I am thinking two legs as the ones above, some tyranid torso I have lying around and an inquisitor archo flagellant head.... Might really try this...

Good evening people, looks like it is sorceror building season. Just built this guy out of the DV librarian


Also finished the second battle magos


Aaaand also received that old chunk of metal, love its face !

Look away for sec and you go all crazy! Awesome conversions buddy! Looking forward to how that daemon and those legs progress too!

As always - great conversions !

Nice work on the Sorcerer, where the head from?

What are you gonna do with the 'fex?

EDC

Thank you very much guys !
@EDC : The head is part of a set of not tzeentchian heads by wargameexclusive. And the carnifex will be made into a Dark Mechanicus experiment, maybe using some castellan robot parts...

Time for an update,

First off, the latest sorceror is finished, with a brand new backpack



Then some cultists :



And to finish, some oldhammer supply drop, with the last first generation bloodletter I missed


They were accompanied by this old school daemonette, what a beauty !


Thanks for watching !

That Daemonette is excellent. Are those Dark Elf shields used for the cultist heads?

Thanks, they absolutely are Llamahead, got them in a dark elves bit bag recently.

As always, your stuff amazes me! genom.cor is right - you have that Lovecraftian vibe nailed. I am really enjoying your fluff for your models. And, the diversity of your kitbashing is phenomenal. Speaking of, is this body from AoS?

 KernelTerror wrote:

And how did you rip the cultist autogun arms for the conversion on the right?

 KernelTerror wrote:

Then some cultists :

I look forward to seeing more!

Such imaginative use of bits!

Gotta love that old hammer too, I really like those blood letters!

EDC

@LostCarcosa : Thank you very much, very kind of you to say. The magos indeed has the legs and back of a stormcast eternal. His torso is made from a CSM breastplate and some greenstuff wiring. Regarding the cultist conversion, the autogun is one of the DV ones that actually comes in a separate part, so no ripping needed. The left arm is from some dark elf I think...

@EDC : Thanks ! Can never store enough bits, eventually they find their place. And yeah, these ancient bloodletters are awesome. Took me a while to get the five different models, but now I have a total of seven...One left to find in order to reach the Khornate 8....

The WIP of the day is the four faced demon's torsos, now attached to the legs. Muscles (especially the six packs) will be smoothed a bit with greenstuff...

Problem is I am now out of resin, already ordered more, but I'll have to wait a bit before being able to progress on it.

You have no idea how jealous I am that you have an original Carnifex

I love the magos too, he's just oozing personality. Or it that heresy? Ehhh, same thing.

Awesome conversions, and your progress as a painter from page 1 to now is impressive.

@Metallifan : Cheers ! Keep an eye on ebay then, I have regularly seen some of those in "buy now" at around 30 bucks ^^.

@Heretic Tom : Thank you very much ! And posting here was a key factor in progressing, both for getting feedback, and as an incentive to do a cleaner job. Glad this shows !

@KernelTerror - Ah, thank you! Your demon is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see it finished.

-LostCarcosa

Cheers LostCarcosa !

Allright, today I was able to progress on the two other pairs of knight legs.





So all three now have their basic shapes and connections, the previous steps will consist in wiring, riveting, grimdarkificating.



But that will be for the next building session, I have a decent band of freaks and demons to paint first :

Good evening Dakka !

Tonight I finished the masked Nurgle cultists :





And the mandatory group shots

Wow! I love the direction of these new guys! I hope you make a whole squad of these big-headed mutants.

Thanks Lorax ! Yeah, I am kind of thinking about making more mutants with this kind of big tribal looking masks. One never has too many cultists.

Been a while since I updated anything for my Khorne guys. Well, this is fixed with this old school bloodletter. His brother is not far from completion too...

Lovely job on those nurglites and the licky Bloodthirster has always creeped me out.

Loving those Nuegle cultists, the heads look great.

Blood letter is cool too, I really like the use of the yellow/orange. Might borrow that scheme for some of my blood letters

EDC

Thank you very much my friends !

Not a bloodletter for today, but that old school daemonette with an unfortunate face :

Sweet! Oldhammer gold right there!

Thanks genom.cor !

Here comes the last Old School demon of this painting batch :


And a family picture of all my old school bloodletters :


Thanks for watching !

Great work, as usual, KernelTerror! This is probably showing my age, but I have never seen a daemonette like that. It's awesome to have such a diverse range of models in your collection.

-LostCarcosa

Thanks LostCarcosa25 !

Tonight I finished this plague cultist :


And the three plague cultists produced lately...

Good evening Dakka !
Tonight I finished a battle magos :

Oooh, that cultist is SO freaking weird dude! Love it! That magos is legit too! I could see it counting as a lot of different things actually.

Loving those Plague Cultists. Really inspirational.

Nice work on the Blood Letters too.

EDC

I saw the progress with robots !! Looks great for me, keep going !
Battle Magos is nicely painted, He looks like a true badass . I don't want to meet him in the dark alley

Edit:

I very like old GW miniatures, and i'm very happy that some still want to have them in collection.
Can You post a photo with all Your miniatures ?

Liking the angler fish cultist. Freaky face.

Thanks a lot for the support guys, much appreciated !
@ROTTEN_FACTORY : That could be fun indeed, I'll first paint the two sorcerors so they can be on the pictures.

In the mean time, I finished the second battle magos today


And the group shot

Good evening Dakka !
Finished the first sorceror tonight. The second is close too...

And here comes the second one :


Both of them :


Thanks for watching.

Sorcerers looks good, but second one i like the most. Very good job.
i Hope to see you whole chaos family soon

Thanks man ! Well, here goes, everythin I painted since starting this blog :























And some detailed shots for each of the four main warbands :

Wow man. Congratulations. That is an epic amount of things to have completed. I am looking back and you started in May of 2015. So basically 17 months. Nice work! You continue to be one of the most prolific builders on dakka.

Awesome group shot! Really a lot of different minis with such a common feeling.

Oh wow, the group shot is fantastic! You really get a feel for how you've made these amazingly unique models all blend together well. This is the kind of thing they should put in the new White Dwarf.

You're very creative and skilled Kernal, awesome blog!

Your warband is as impressive as it is inspiring, Kernel. The sheer amount of creativity is incredible. Here's to another 17 months of marvelous machinations!

-LostCarcosa

Eyegasmic!! Gods now that is a horde of Chaos you can be proud of. Endless "counts as" lists with this army!

Thanks a lot for the support guys, that was worth emptying the display cabinet ! I'll be back soon with more heresy (Hell yeah Prospero !)

DUDE !! They look awesome ! One and a half year to collect such an incredible collection. CONGRATULATIONS you are a very creative person.
I am extremely curious what You are going to make in next Year .
I'm waiting for more of Your crazy stuff !

Well, thank you for suggesting these pictures, I was pretty happy myself to see all of them together.
And thanks again everyone for your kind words, this is really heartwarming and motivating to build more deformed and decadent stuff.

Speaking of deformed, I started "improving" the ogroid thaumaturge, in order to make it into a dark mechanicus construct.

Using that old tyranid body is really clever

Thanks a lot Lecacty ! This bit indeed comes with nice armor plates, some holes to plug in greenstuff wires, and a badass sting.

But that will not be the only antique tyranid part defiled in this building session, as I just started working on this obscenity :

Woah! This is going to be good! *pops a piece of popcorn into mouth*

Thanks genom.cor ! Been hunting that bit for a while, better make good use of it.
Today, I started putting together a tentacle lady :

I love the Magos'. They look really cool.

Thanks you very much Heretic Tom.

Not much to show tonight, just started working on this caped marine :

Nice! I like where both of them are going!

Haven't checked this thread in a while, and I'm actually happy about that as now I get to enjoy entire pages of your awesome work

The army shots are seriously impressive, seeing all your twisted, sanity-breaking conversions together just brings a big smile to my face!

Keep up the good work!

Nice use of the old nid models. They really work for Chaotic freakishness. Nice work on the tentacle chick with the scythe too.

EDC

Thank you very much for the support guys, always appreciated !

Speaking of old nid, I think the screamer killer is about done :


And I also started to dress up my siamese demon :

That carni is reallly great!

Thank you very much LeCacty, I am very eager to get to paint it. But I have some models to assemble first, such as this lazy arhiman conversion :

 KernelTerror wrote:
this lazy arhiman conversion

Hey, if it works, it works. At least you got rid of that lackluster helmet of his. Still, not really on par with the divine madness-inducing models that you produce, but that's hardly a fair thing to say. Keep it coming!

Cool conversion. Where'd the helmets come from?

Love the Screamer Killer, a truly exceptional piece.

EDC

@VyRa : Thanks ! Yeah, I'll probably be a bit more heavy handed on the Custodes and SIsters anyway.

@EDC : Thank you, that helmet is from spellcrow, still have more for three other sorcerors ^^ !

In the lean time, here is the progress on the caped marine showed previously, and his four brothers in arm.

Finished a demon prince this morning


And the latest marines receive their capes :

Sunday night update time, finished the ogroid conversion :


Aand finally got started on my second "twisted creature in a chair", featuring a plaguebearer belly as a mouth


(disregard the serial port converter, grabbed a random item to stabilize the thing...)

Sculpting on the first pair of knight legs is finished...Might touch up some details eventually, but starting to look like something I think.

Ogroid conversion is sick, great job! I'm very curious how siamese demon will looks finished.
Good progress with knight legs

Your creativity is astounding! I get giddy every time I see that you've updated. Keep up the fine work!

-LostCarcosa

Ohhh. Unspeakable things have happened in my unmentionables. Chaos Knight is very exciting and Ogroid is awesome af! What's it count as?

Damn you're prolific. I can barely keep up!

Excellent work on the daemon prince and the Ognoid looks brilliant. Is that converted from the big beastie from The Silver Tower?

EDC

Thanks a lot my friends, your support keeps the heresy factory running ^^ !

@genom.cor : I am actually just building those for fun, with no army in mind. But if it ever sees a table, It would probably be as himself, for something from the dark heresy range or inquisimunda....

@EDC : It absolutely is, barely touched the body actually, just had to swap the arms, the head and add the back of a castellan robot.

Not much progress to show for this update, I kept on adding resin to the siamese demon. It will have four arms that each spread in two at the elbow level. Connecting properly each arm with two torsos proves a bit tricky, but armor plates will surely help...
This thing will look so grotesque ^^ !

Slow progress with the addition of hydra necks and the forearms...

There is a lot of awesome work going on in this blog. I love the chest work green stuff on the marines.

Looking forward to paint!

Things are getting wild on that siamese daemon! Keep it up!

Very cool. The Hydra heads are a great addition. Does this mean it's Alpha Legion related?

EDC

 KernelTerror wrote:

I can feel my sanity melting away by just looking at that twisted thing. It's downright lovecraftian. What you are doing here is art, nothing less.

Many thanks everyone !

@Fifty : Thanks, I think it also helps bulking them up and maintaining coherence with the oversized shoulder plates.

@genom.cor @VyRa : Glad you like it, wait till I add the secondary heads of lesser souls alongside the four main necks ^^.

@EDC : No links to the Alpha legion, if I remember well they operate too far from the Eye to have demonic support. I received the hydra necks in random ebay dark elve bit bags, and well what can I do with four of these...Next thing you know I was building a siamese demon...

Tonight I finished a second set of knight legs, with arches teeth and wiring :


Edit : Daym, I reckon these knight pics may be hard to read because of the different materials and color. I originally wanted to wait for the three of them to be built before painting, but next session I'll at least basecoat a pair of legs, to see what it looks like...

I cannot wait to see that wondrous siamese daemon in all her (his? its?) blasphemous glory!

-LostCarcosa

Thanks LostCarcosa ! Pretty curious to see how this will end up too, you never really know with chaos ^^.

Allright, third and last pair of legs finished for the knights, meaning I'll start their torsos in the next building session, that should be fun.


Off to painting then !

looking better and better ! Can't wait to see torso for this guys !

Wow I thought you were only doing one excellent progress on this craziness as well.

@ROTTEN_FACTORY : Thanks ! Me too, I have been holding on to the piece of plastic I want to use for the shoulders for around a year ^^ !

@Llamahead : Thanks ! Yeah I find that making three at the same time is not that much more work, since I only have to think of the design once. Plus, this way I will able to try more weapon layouts.

Good evening Dakka ! I finished two cloaked marines today :





And the mandatory group shots :

Liking the fiery Word Bearers.

Thanks Llamahead, here comes a third one :

Looking good as usual, Kernel! That cleaver marine looks ace. Also, very nice use of the BT Axe bit, and the subtle linkage through the cleaver itself is a great touch.

-LostCarcosa

Thanks a lot LostCarcosa !

Finished another demon prince tonight :



And now for some group shots :






Fitting all four of them was a pain because of these tentacle wings, that should be fun when I finish the six of em....

Thanks for watching !

Was thinking of doing dark mechanicum stuff. Just saw some of your stuff, now I need to try that very interesting sculpting going on!

Thanks Tipios ! Yeah, lots of crazy stuff to be built following the dark mechanicus way. Very grimdark !

And here comes another caped marine

Nice. The daemon princes look excellent.

EDC

Thanks EDC !

Completed the word bearer squad today :

Very cool! Each marine looks pretty intimidating by himself, but the whole squad together looks doubly so. Also, what helmet is that on the last Word Bearer? Keep the dark mechanicum's daemon forge pumping!

-LostCarcosa

Thanks LostCarcosa ! The last helmet is a old school chaos warrior helmet, from the ones with terminator-like head attachments. Meaning I have three generations of chaos helmet in the same squad ^^.

Tonight, I finished the silver tower ogre conversion :

And for today, here comes the tentacle demon lady :

Good to see the daemon forge churning! That ogre conversion is awesome. I especially like the tattoos, and love the small head/big body contrast. And the tentacle demon lady is superb. She has a very strong King in Yellow vibe, which I highly approve of! I am not a huge fan of the plastic daemonette models by themselves, but, in this case, that head definitely works. What is the base model? It looks like an old vampire lord or maybe even Isabella von Carstein, but I'm not sure. And thank you for letting me know about the chaos helmet. That is way too cool that you have three generations of chaos helmets in one squad. As always, I look forward to seeing more of your work!

-LostCarcosa

Thank you my friend. Yes, this is an Isabella von Carstein dress, received it in an ebay bit bag and already was covered in more paint than isopropyl cared to strip. So I had to limit the details, especially on the top, but I think it turned out okay.

Today, I finished this Ahriman conversion :


The cabal grows !

And for the last one of this painting session, the carnifex conversion :

That Carnifex is your best yet awesomely blended together now.

Oh, wow, I have missed some great progress here! I love the daemon princes and the marine with the big cleaver!

@Llamahead : Thanks a lot, glad you like him. Pretty happy with its creepiness myself.

@CorpusChain : Cheers ! I was glad to see your blog restarting too.

 KernelTerror wrote:
@CorpusChain : Cheers ! I was glad to see your blog restarting too.

It's good to be back!

Good day dakka, back to converting stuff, starting with corrupting a Custodes :


Also completely changed my mind on the "Magos in a chair" project, so this demon body ended up on this pair of legs. Looking weird for now, but they will mainly be covered by a robe.


And finally, started on an ascended sorcerer, using a carnifex groin as a head :

corrupting a Custodes

Well, that's clearly heres---

 KernelTerror wrote:
using a carnifex groin as a head

Okay, never mind. This is double heresy. At least now i can say that i've seen everything.

This thread gets better and better ! I say: MORE !! MORE this crazy stuff !!
The group photo of Demons Prince is awesome !!

More great ideas! Good job.

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.
Minor update tonight, corrupted the custodes some more :

love the screaming skulls you've sculpted there!

Where's that left arm from? Looks familiar somehow...

@Tipios : Thanks ! That got rid of one of the biggest Aquilas

@CorpusChain: It is thee melee weapon of the Original dreadnought. Still pondering whether it fits the models' dynamism to be honest, will sleep on it...

That's some beautiful heresy right there!
On the arm, it looks like he'd have trouble moving with it, but it is 40K so logic need not always apply

Looking good as always! Your sorcerers came out splendidly, and the colours really compliment each other. I particularly like Ahriman's force weapon. And the carnefix & custode conversions look great. Can't wait for more!

-LostCarcosa

Thanks Kurnost, Yeah, a bit oversized, but 40k physics apply and it should behave as a power fist ^^. I have probably done worse anyway...

Thanks LostCarcosa !

Got some updates today, first with the custode. I moved the claw and I think it fits the model's dynamism better. The second shoulder armor also 'balances' it. It's about done now,


And the ascended sorceror/carnifexgroindude got some horns and back armor plating :

Custode's pose is perfect. Moving the claw back was a great idea!!

Grionhead coming along nicely!
