Thanks a lot. I'm in the process of greenstuffing him, really looking forward to handing it to my buddy on thursday.

Begel: It's from J-paints blog - you can find it in his sig.

His face on thursday: (Genuinely, anime hearts will come out of his actual face...)

How'd you get the trygon tail that tightly wrapped?

J-Paint: I sure hope so. I am really looking forward to seeing it painted - He's a very good painter, and I know he'll do his best on this.

Gitsplitta wrote:How'd you get the trygon tail that tightly wrapped?

Actually I just assembled it as is - no modification to the lower portion of the tail.

The least I can say is that I love your DPs

You're really talented, all of your realisations are particularly great looking. Bits are well chosen and you manage to give your models a dynamic look... I'm jealous...

And... He's done.

I wasn't completely satisfied with the head, so I redid it - I liked the previous one, but it was a bit too inhuman. Since the rest of the model is so monstrous, it needed something to convey that this guy has once been human.

Anyway, I'm really happy with it, and can't wait to give it to my buddy on thursday - and see some paint on it - we're having a painting night.







Notice the meathooks in his chest?

Oh yeah, I found some scans of some drawings I made a year ago - kinda off topic, but I thought I'd share them:











And a bit of "fluff" ;-)

Wow those are really good, and I like the new head!

Those are amazing drawings, and an amazing daemon prince!

I have absolutely no talent for drawing, and sometimes it makes me envious. I've been doodling since I could hold a pencil, but by drawing skills haven't really gotten better in the last.... 12 years

You talented bastard...


...make sure you get pics of it painted up for us!

These have to be some of the best Chaos I have ever seen.

Loving the models are usual brother. I want a fluffy thing
You doing anything special for base?
Peace

Thanks a lot.

Spudkins: Nope, I'm leaving the basing up to my buddy - I don't want to do something that won't fit in with what he has in mind.

Awesome sauce! I prefer the new head, I think it finishes him off nicely. Keep the updates coming.

That demon is really impressive Guita.

Fantastic drawings... wow. No wonder your models are so good.

Thanks guys.

Your welcome!

Here's the background for my crazy Nurgle Berzerker idea.


The warband of *Biiip* (Haven't come up with a name yet. ) Death Guard, a splinter group of the 4th company, is accompanied by a vile and spiteful character known as Niall Glacain, the disease alchemist (virologist?). Glacain is speculated to have once been an apothecary of the Death Guard, but now he is so much more and so much less. Ever since the Death Guard contracted the rot, he has been obsessed with refining and studying the myriads of vira and bacteria composing the rot, and composing new agents, of even more agressive strands. It is even speculated that he has developed a special viral herbicide, particularly effective against plant and fungal based organisms, such as orks.

One of his most terrifying achievements is the virus known as The Strain. The Strain is a horrible bio-and neurotoxin, that attacks the neural network of the victim, effectively turning him or her into a raging beast.

++++ Adeptus Biologicus Scientifica ++++

Observations gathered from a wounded Adeptus Astartes of the Imperial Fists chapter, infected by the Strain.


Phase 1: The patients eyes start to glaze and stare wildly, while beginning to talk incoherently

Phase 2: The patient becomes agressive, and throwing unprovoked fits of rage. *Physicians note - restrainment is strongly advised*

Phase 3: The patient becomes unconscious and does not respond to stimuli.

Phase 4: The patients muscles begins to bulge and swell, beyond the Astartes already imposing physique. The patient is still unconscious, albeit showing signs of unease and troubled dreams *Physicians note - interesting - do Astartes dream?*

Phase 5: A sickly colour begins to spread on the patients skin, while the musculature swells even further. In some places the musculature stretches beyond the capability of the skin, ripping the skin open.

Phase 6: Two bony appendages begin to rip open the skin on the back, protruding out, like a Mantis Mantodeas (extint creature of ancient Terra) raptorial legs, with razor sharp and spiny blades at the edges. *Physicians note - By the Emperor, what is this madness? *

Phase 7: The patient awakens, showing incredible strength and agression. The eyes are completely white, as if the pupils have disappeared. The patient is completely unable to communicate to or with, using only howling and growling sounds. The patient is to be terminated.


Note: Later studies of Imperial Guardsmen have shown that they perish between phase 3 and 4 - their metabolism seems unable to cope with the physical transformation.


*Physicians note;
I have never seen any virus or bacteria do anything like this. By the Emperor. The patient managed to rip out of his steel chain restraints, and ravaging the entire lazaret, ripping anything in his path apart, and killing 21 attending medicaes before being put down by Astartes guards. The patient took over 5 bolter rounds before slowing down and a further few to kill. The bony appedages on his shoulders seem to have bonded with his bones, muscles and neural network, allowing him to use them as flaying and cutting weapons. A terrible sight indeed. The patient furthermore seems to have grown even stronger than an Astartes, and becoming even more immune to otherwise deadly wounds. It was as if he was a walking corpse, however, none of his motor skills had seemed to perish, and he seemed to react even quicker in combat than any Astartes I have seen. By the Emperor, if I had not seen this patients plight with my own eyes, I would have not believed it. Now I fear for my own life, since I have gotten word of the Inquisition being summoned to investigate any parties involved in the treating of this patient.*

++++ Adeptus Biologicus Scientifica ++++


Glacain uses The Strain as a method of creating relentless and savage shock troops, used in assault. He unleashes the strain on any Astartes captives, be they loyalist or traitor, transforming them into mindless killing machines. These have been sighted in Heresy Era Land Raiders, ramming into the front lines and being unleashed, throws themselves into the midst of the fray, caring not what they kill. Sometimes following them are huge hulking beasts, easily twice the weight and size of an Astartes, with muscles barely contained by flesh. They have no hands, instead having huge blades and weapons grafted directly onto the stumps of their arms, flailing wildly. It is speculated that this is the final state of the strain, contorting the victim even further, but no evidence has been gathered of this.

On the battlefield, The Strained Ones (a nickname given to them by the sparse few to have survived an attack) are to be avoided at all costs - they wreak havoc and can outfight even the Astartes.

I have already begun a couple of The Strained Ones - they will be using the rules for Khorne Berzerkers, and a Skull Champion will be represented by the brute I described - this model is based on the crypt horros from Vampire Counts.

Cool idea! Knowing your work, it should yield excellent models. As to bringing down The Strained Ones, might I suggest cutting off their limbs?

OooO! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Well, I've just finished my new Plague Berzerker champion, powerfists and all.







As you can see, he's a big boy. He's based on a crypt horror, with lots of cutting, reposing and greenstuffing. I deliberately made the greenstuff on the skin a bit rough, to give some texture.




I may have found the obliterator I'm looking for. Tue Kaae, several times GD winner and former GW sculptor, is a regular at my local gaming club. He has been doing some true scale marines some time ago, and kindly allowed me to cast up a few parts, to use as a base. He's very WIP, but you can see the size I'm going for:

Truly amazing stuff!

I'm very new to sculpting, and I am curious what tools do you use when sculpting greenstuff? Also, what is your technique for making the straight pieces that were used for the bandages and the GS that wraps around the daemon prince's whip?

I like the champion scythe claws! Its all looking awesome, can wait to see it painted.

Daaaaaaaaaamn, that is some kickass sculpting from both you and Tue Kaae,

Very cool work on both new offerings. Think you're going to have to scale up the head to make that Oblit look right.

The berserker looks fantastic. I'm really excited to see how the rest of the unit turns out.

nice work, of course, I especially like the berzerker's left hand blade.

Quick question about the last demon prince. How cured was the GS when you wound it around the whip? I was going to assume that it was completely cured, and kept pliable by its thinness, but there appears to be some mellowing on it, which means that's not the case.

I mean, you must have let it cure somewhat, right, or it would have been to much of a pain in the butt to work with, right?

Your champion is amazingly cool! even just looking at it without paint is a joy! :-) I can't wait to see you paint it in your signature style you do so well!

Nerdfest09

Man, I'm loving that champion. Suitably grisly.

This thread gets better and better each week. Peace

Amazing stuff continues! The crypt champ and oblit base are both stupendous @_@

- Salvage

you got a super good design on your demon prines, i love it.

HOLY CRAP ON A STICK!

The Plague Berzerker is BRUTAL looking!

Liking the Oblit too! Sounds like you have a pretty cool FLGS!

Thanks a lot everyone - I really appreciate your kind comments.

I just use a basic metal sculpting tool, and my invaluable rubber clay shaper. The metal tool is for the major stuff, hard edges and stuff like that, and the clay shaper is an amazing tool for organic smooth stuff. Try it - it is amazing.

Actually I use it as soon as I mix it. I use saliva as a lubricant (no need for washing, like with petroleum jelly/vasoline), and with a bit of care it is easily done. Since the greenstuff is freshly mixed, it's more sticky, and adheres to the model much better.

Wow that crypt horror conversion is awesome.

Awesome stuff, and I can't get over how much I love your DG paint scheme. It's so easy to go overboard with nurgle-ness, but yours is a very nice balance.

Love the berserker dude!

Genius at work in this thread!

Asking you to take my first born child for your army wouldn't be to much to ask would it? Your work is great and can't wait to see more, maybe some battle reports so we can see your models smashing in the skulls of your enemies. Keep it up, are you going to do the other 2 gods? or are you moving on with something other than chaos?

Thanks a lot - I really like it too. It looks sort of arcane and dirty, without being green blobs. And it's soooo easy to paint too.

Keep the baby, please - I work with childcare (10-15 year olds) and I've got about 100 of them - that's plenty.

I don't think I'll do Slaanesh and Tzeentch. I've actually talked to my buddy (the guy I made the daemon prince for - he LOVES it. ) about him making armies of the other 2 to complement mine - they're his favourite gods, so it's a great fit.

Perhaps I'll do a model or two - I have a cool idea for a tzeentch paint scheme I want to try out, but as an army, they don't really appeal to me.

New additions are looking great my friend. Khorne and Nurgle are my two favourite gods as well. You have truly done them justice with these armies.

I cant wait for slaanesh stuff. Hes the best god IMO.

Slaanesh and khorne are my favorites.


I honestly thought Khorne, as a god, had little to no personality. i avoided him like the plague for this reason.

Then one day several months ago i stumbled onto this thread.

Boy, was I wrong about khorne.


What I'm saying is, you actaully managed to change my opinion completely on something . And I'm famous among my friends for being stubborn as a tree-stump.

Khorne is amazing

Thanks a lot, man.

Well, I'm kinda stuck on the nurgzerker project, so I'll put them on pause until inspiration strikes. Nonetheless, I've been busy getting everything done (there was a lot of "almost done" minis), basing everything, etc. I'll get some pics up, when the weather is photographyfriendly. Also, I'm almost done on the land raider - it is looking GOOD.

Tonight I also got the defiler done and ready for paint. There was a lot of greenstuffing to be done, but I think the end result is worth it:

Awwww yeah.

Can't wait to see the noxiousness of the final product.

Holy shazbot, that Defiler is amazing. It's chest kinda reminds me of that crazy ass scene from the 80's version of "The Thing".

Ewwwww, that mouth is literally repulsive. Good job.

The stomach mouth freaks me out

That's absolutely outstanding conversion/GS work bud, nothing more constructive to add, just jaw-dropping!

Thanks a lot guys - though I've removed the tongue - it looked a bit too much like a dog out of breath.

I took a couple of pics of the finished units and the near completed stuff:

The tongue did seem out of place, I think it was smart to remove it (although I could see how well done the sculpt was.)

Looking at the above pictures I'm torn between loving and hating you. Freaking excellent job. So nasty and full of funk, yet so incredibly subtle. I'd really love to see your take on the remaining two cults.

*edit spelling

Mind-blowing work mate!

This Blog is Fant-Amazing!!!

In fact, I'm a long time loyalist and your work has turn me to the the chaos gods for my next army. Seeing how good you are at converting and sculpting, I can't wait to see what you'll come up with when you tackle the other two chaos powers - especially Slaanesh's Noise Marines!

Anyways, keep up the good work!

JP

I have to say your Death Guard has to be the best looking army Ive ever seen. I know thats a term that gets thrown around forums like this a lot but I feel it is true. It is so full of character and you have really been able to push your painting and converting skills. It is jawdropping.

Wow! Just wow! I can't believe how good the Defiler looks! All of them actually! And super-zerker is awesome! I assume your blood is TCR, but do you mix it with anything? I'd love the recipe!

Subbed (thanks Moltar!). No time to really check this out right now but I REALLY like what I've seen so far and will be back to read from 1st page to current.

Can;t take my eyes off of that nurgle defiler!
All of your stuff is fething amazing!

Holy shatner, that is literally the best Nurgle/Death Guard/Plague Marine army I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. They're extremely popular, esp. on Dakka Dakka, you know. But daaayum, those minis are amazing.

Wow, just wow.

That Defiler, what a conversion that is, absolutely fantastic, can't wait to see it painting.
I love your Death Guard, the Land Raider is very cool, the Plague Marines look great. And I also love your Daemon Prince (guess thats what it is) conversion. The other bits are also top notch.

Thanks a lot for the very kind words, I really appreciate them.

Funny thing is, that this is probably the easiest army I've ever painted - it's almost all washes and white primer.

RSJake wrote:Wow! Just wow! I can't believe how good the Defiler looks! All of them actually! And super-zerker is awesome! I assume your blood is TCR, but do you mix it with anything? I'd love the recipe!

It's really only Tamiya Clear Red, with a bit of chaos black mixed in - it is an awesome product.

Honestly this is very impressive work and will be stunning on the table top, any person would pay pretty big bucks for an army with this much conversion and flavor...Very well Done!

Wow! awesome work! love the defiler

Sub'd!

T-M

All of this stuff is incredible.

Amazing work! Thanks for all the pics!

Just had a 23 pages blast of pure awesomeness
Please keep this stuff coming and I'll start a chaos army

Ya know, I was beating myself up for using washes to paint my Death Guard in almost the same scheme. I think after seeing this, I'm over it.

I used the wash method to paint my WoC Tzeentch, and loved the way it came out.

Very good stuff on this thread.

Also very inspiring to see that amount of great and unique conversions.

Keep it up

This has to be one of the greatest threads on Dakka, hands down!

Kudos for the amazing conversions as well as the flawless paintjobs! Being a World Eaters player myself, I especially like the Khorne stuff. But your recent Death Guard models almost make me want to collect Death Guard as well. Damn you!

Anyway, keep that stuff coming! Just can't get enough of it!

Blood for the blood god!

Dude, you GOTTA start giving your files more original names, you're making it a pain to save this stuff to my inspiration folder! XD

Amazing stuff throughout the 23 pages. So much to comment on and be inspired by its hard to know where to start! Im gutted I went for the none spikey look for my Chaos Marines I could have stolen so many ideas! The demon princes are excellent and your kit bashing and greenstuffing produces models better than anything officially released in my opinion. Cant wait to see more.

Ja-heeeeesus!
LOVING that Death Guard stuff, it's so.. disgustingly beautiful!

Absoultely amazing paint job, and the Land Raider is just incredible.. Lovelovelove!!

The death guard terminator with the spines out his back and the purple claw... WOAH The painting the sculpting, even the basic kitbashes everything here is pure gold.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I'm busy putting some paint on the defiler, and I've just made a very nice removable base for it, plus I'm beginning to think about the rhino I need to make. Oh, and tonight I sat down with an obliterator - I think I may have cracked it now. We'll see. I hope to throw up some progress pics tomorrow.

ooooooo coooool stuff.

I'm as excited as a kid on christmas eve!

Okay, so heres the obliterator so far:



And a size comparison:



I'm still not sure that this is the way it needs to be - I don't get that "Wow!" feel from it, but it might just need to grow on me - anyway, I could really use any and all input - even posts telling me that it sucks, and I could do better.

It already kick . but I would see on It more work on the armor, loke chaos symbols and stuff like It, plus a bit more of fleshy GS on the junctures
P.S And chains, lot of chains MUAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

Holy fething piles of WIN! I started parousing this thread because I like your juggernaught head worked out on the khorne dread & was thinking of doing something similar for a friend for a soulgrinder, but then I noticed there were 22 more pages of awesome with this thread... My eyes & jaw hurt from 'wow-face'.

SelvaggioSaky wrote:It already kick . but I would see on It more work on the armor, loke chaos symbols and stuff like It, plus a bit more of fleshy GS on the junctures

I agree, by comparison the armor plates, especially the chest, are fairly unadorned and lack that chaos and 'industrial' feeling that obliterators are want to have. The mutated flesh GS work you have so far is a good base point, but I feel it needs more tubing/piping/deathguard style motifs to tie it all together. However both of the arms look great.

I don't know Guita... it gets a "wow" from me! Really impressive figure in stature. Usually oblits have so much crap on them you cant hardly distinguish the figure from the bits. I like yours... clean, simple, identifiable as still partly a man. Maybe a couple of chains for accents here and there... but I wouldn't overdo it.

Holy Shatner, that's badass.

Is that a Resin Mold you made?

I really like it, but since you want critisism, maybe adding a bit of guitar string to "tech up" the model might help. To me, obliterators are man, machine, and demon. You've got enough man and (well sculpted) demon, so maybe a touch more machine?

wow, your obliterator is awesome!

it looks really good but it looks a bit bare in comparison to say your nurgle lord or your termi's. Maybe doing something with the chestplate space or shin pads to make it look more nuglely. maybe pipes from the backpack to the mask on the front, or something similar.
you can see what your saying though, it is a really nice model so far, but in comparison to what you have already done, it doe'snt have the wow factor

Sweet Jesus. This is the best Death Guard army I've seen, hands down, period. Hell! It's one of my favourite armies I've seen, period!

First of all, this thread is amazing and if very inspiring! So keep it up!

Next It looks good but I didnt get that WOW factor like I did with all of your other stuff. To me the pose is great and the weapons are great but the core of it just is off... It kind of reminds me of a chick with a really slim waist and HUGE boobs.... Especially in that first pic. The ab section of him is small and the chest piece just pops out! Unless it is a lady oblit....in that case.... "How you doin??"

Last I agree with prime12357 on the guitar strings. Get some tubes and cables running out of him! I think it may help!

I too get the WOW vibe! Nice stuff!

My only nit-pick is that the head still looks too human. but it looks great!

A rusty chainmail loincloth perhaps with some rebreather tubes added to the facemask? Or a sculpted harness across the chest similar to tha assault marines? Are they going to be a stand alone oblit cult or are they actually part of your DG? If they are Nurgle aligned a nice fly would go well on the right shin? I think once its been hit with paint the armour will work a lot better. I dont think it need too much really. Excellent work as usual brother a squad of these will look proper scary.

I love how unadorned the armor is actually, but that's personal aesthetic - my own chaos renegades have armor mostly striped of iconography (Imperial or otherwise). What doesn't work for me is the combat arm, looks quite cobbled together. I'd much rather a large pincher, or just the double chainfist with some GS gribble, without the orky buzzsaw stuck onto it.

On the body, is there a way for me to get some? Would make for some awesomely hulky marines, as well as custom oblits

- Salvage

Wow, your Chaos army is truly inspirational! Definitley keeping my eye on this thread!

Thank you very much for the kind words - that's a huge compliment. I appreciate it very much.

Thanks for the replies - I'm still not completely sold on it - I'm considering a blight drone inspired sort of thing, og a Doom Cyber Demon sort of thing, based on the two remaining crypt horrors. Darn obliterators - they're such a pain to get right.

Boss Salvage: Unfortunately, no. I made a mold of some custom parts made by GD winner and former GW sculptor Tue Kaae, and while I have permission to use them, I can't make more copies and give away.

I have seen a few armies in which Blight Drones represent Obliterators...

My only issue is that he's still too "scrawny". Bulk up his waist and midsection, maybe ass some "casings" over the weapon clusters! Also, maybe a Mark 3 or 5 helmet would look cool...

The DooM Cyber Demon could look pretty cool. Or the Mancubus from Doom 2/3? i think something like that would really fit your style.

Biohazard wrote:The DooM Cyber Demon could look pretty cool. Or the Mancubus from Doom 2/3? i think something like that would really fit your style.

What about this model as an obliterator?

Actually, that guy (and the other two on the website) aren't bad - I'll consider that, thanks!

I love the name terrorizer!

Cutthroatcure wrote:I love the name terrorizer!

It's also a band.

The model is really cool, and perfect for an obliterator. The only problem I see is that it may be hard to convert or add variation to without completely destroying it...

"wow" and "holy feth" is all i can think to say.

The only thing i can think to improve it is to tech him up a little bit, like some tubing and such things

Yeah, I agree with adding tubing, especially to the mechanics on it's back and to it's weapon arms. Beyond that its perfect. I can't wait to see it painted!

I broke down and bought this set:



Thanks to arm chair general for suggesting them.

I didn't know they did a set, they look excellent. Might have to put them on my list of stuff to get as well.

Boy, those are sweet models for Oblits.

Nice get man.

GiraffeX wrote:I didn't know they did a set, they look excellent. Might have to put them on my list of stuff to get as well.

I concur!

Good choice man!

hehehe one of them is called boner.

As for the Oblit, I'd say you will have to integrate his head into the body a lot more. At the moment, he's looking like he's caught the obliterator virus from the neck down, but his head is woefully uncontaminated. I'd say stick some wires into it, have pulled flesh fusing into his armour, maybe a targetting array sticking out of his face?

ghosty wrote:hehehe one of them is called boner.

Was just thinking that, brilliant minds think alike.

I too believe they'll make nice obliterators.

Very interesting work. Hopped over here from your Dreadknight blog. AMAZING!

Seriously love the glowing eyes effect, i often have trouble myself when doing things like big daemon glowing eyes and similar models but youve really nailed the look here, great work

Done any work lately?

We would love to see it!

Coolest looking dread i have ever seen :O

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I've been pretty busy, both work and playing concerts, hence the lack of updates. However, I've been doing a fair bit of work - the defiler is almost finished paintwise, and I'm in the process of building another squad of plaguemarines.

I recieved the obliterators from High Tech, and started painting them, but I'm not too hooked on them - a lot of the detail is pretty poor, and some of the sculpting is kind of amateurish - at least for my taste. So I took a deep breath, and decided to try and build my own, ONE last time. And lo and behold, I succeded! I actually built a pair that I like.

I'll try to get some pics up later today of the stuff.

Can't wait to see those!

Oh my god, he's alive!

Good to hear that you haven't abandoned the project! I think it's great that you decided to build your own Obliterators after all -- For someone who is so talented at converting mindboggingly awesome models, it somehow felt wrong to use a bought model as is...

Until now, I've only ever seen two kinds of Obliterators that I liked, and sadly none of them would have worked for my army. Perhaps yours will change that? Here's hoping...

Anyway, can't wait to see them! Keep up the good work!

Do you have any pics of those? I have searched the web for countless hours, and never found any that I thought really really worked - no offense to anyone who has converted them.

Well, for a start: Meade's Obliterators (as well as his whole army) are truly terrifying:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/394107.page

And then there's Dan the Daemon's idea of simply using weapon teams to represent obliterators. Completely different, but great nonetheless if you're not into that whole mutation thing:

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=172506&st=0

Hope that helps!

Update: Whoa, almost forgot this:

http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11977&page=59

Svartmetall's definitely on to something here. And the rest of the thread is simply nuts, too!

Thanks - I've seen all of them, and while all are very good from a modelling standpoint, none of them really captures what I feel an obliterator should be - Meades are too skinny for my taste, the weapons team, while a good idea, doesn't seem very chaosy to me, and svartmetalls (though his conversions deserve a lot of credit, since they were the reason I got back into the hobby) looks too much like a minotaur, and not enough like a space marine - again, no offense intended.

One thing I'm in doubt about - should the have rebreather space marine heads, or horribly mutated daemon heads, or gasmask heads?

Well, if you ask me...

- horrible mutated daemon heads are a difficult proposition, because then the whole model may end up looking like a daemon instead of a mutated Chaos Space Marine

- gasmask heads might work. But then, you can never go wrong with gasmasks in a Nurgle army

- to be honest, I did like the rebreather head you used in your test piece very much. My only suggestion would be to add some kind of mutation or augmentation to it: cables that run from the head to the back or somewhere on the body. Added bionic eyes that look like targeting systems. Skin stretched tight across mechanical components. I think Meade's conversions are an awesome inspiration in that respect because they look like the Obliterator virus was something that slowly began to "overwhelm" the marine over time .

All in all, I still think that there should be some kind of humanity left, because that is what makes the models truly disturbing. And the face is such an important focus point for the model, so I would go with fairly regular (rebreather) heads, but with added mutations, cables etc.

I cant wait to see the squad of these painted up.
Going to be awesome.
Peace

- horrible mutated daemon heads are a difficult proposition, because then the whole model may end up looking like a daemon instead of a mutated Chaos Space Marine

- gasmask heads might work. But then, you can never go wrong with gasmasks in a Nurgle army

- to be honest, I did like the rebreather head you used in your test piece very much. My only suggestion would be to add some kind of mutation or augmentation to it: cables that run from the head to the back or somewhere on the body. Added bionic eyes that look like targeting systems. Skin stretched tight across mechanical components.

Thank you! That was very helpful - I think I have found the perfect heads with your comments in mind:

(of course with some creative cutting to remove the horn)

Yeah that's a good one, and maybe buy a package of zombie heads... useful for so many things and mad cheap for like 20 of them.

Glad to see your still alive and converting Guita

I agree with Kraut, the rebreather heads really work for me. I'm not overly keen on obliterators in general as I have yet to see any that truly represent the virus. The guy you had started was looking pretty good though. How about having a tube running from an eye socket to a targetting system on his shoulder or something? Just an idea. Good to see you back Brother and look forward to whatever you come up with.

And now, heeeeeereeeees the obliterators! I'm really happy with these guys, and finally feel like I have some obliterators on par with the rest of the army. I'm very much looking forward to painting these guys, which I'll probably start tomorrow.





A size comparison with my new company standard bearer - they are BIG:



Please note that both heads are the same - the one on the right that looks wierd is just because of some leftover black primer.

I knew You would give us pure awesomesauce!
Like them a lot and I'm very happy of your choice to do Your stuff as the best!

Zoinks Scooby. Lets get outta here! Some awesomeness about these pages.

Oh man Guita... really nice!!

Those are just BEASTS!

Yeah Killer! Love how they are embiggened.

Amazing work!!!! Amazed every single time!!!!
Guita I would love to see what you could do with this track kit!!!
Check em out!!
http://www.threestagestudios.blogspot.com/2012/03/second-tss-project-track-unit-master.html

Excellent looking Oblits! Great job

Very nice! And much cooler than the High Tech models in my opinion

I honestly love the left hand cannon with blades.

The obliterators look amazing! Well done!

Thanks a lot, guys - I'm also really happy with them - it took some time too - I think these are the fourth version of obliterators I've made.

I've gotten them primed, and will start painting tonight - it's gonna be a blast.

As someone said before I'm also glad you didn't use those 'bought' models. These guys are oozing with the same personality of all your conversions. Looking forward to painted progress.

They are looking excellent Guita, cant wait to see these bad boys painted.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm really glad I decided to give them one more try to - I'm making great progress getting them painted, and having a blast with them - really looking forward to working on them some more.

The obliterators look really evil, and I love them! The organic bits have turned out well, and the whole models should be tons of fun to paint. I'm jealous

I also bought one of those Hitech guys, not the oblit but the admech-ish one, and wasn't that impressed with the sculpting. The pictures on their website look great but once you hold it in your hands... you're like, meh. They are a bit costly for it. I'd recommend to get just one before you invest too much...

I don't think I've gotten around to posting my defiler with paint on, so here goes:

Almost done:





Obliterators WIP:









And my rhino, which still need some more bling:

Good God man... those are brilliant!

OH. MY. GOD!

These Obliterators could only possibly be even more awesome if they were World Eaters

And that defiler is truly hideous...again, in a good way.

Don't get me wrong, seeing your work is fantastic, but getting back to my own models afterwards is always kind of depressing...

Love it all. That defiler is the best i have seen in a long time. Such a great paint job on all of this. Keep up the good work man.

That defiler is just creepy! Excellent job on the Oblits as well. They're looking fantastic with the paint on them.

Your obliterators are simply amazing!

Those Obliterators are beautiful!

*self poops self*

You're killing it Guita, awesome work

- Salvage

Mother of God! That defiler is beyond words! And the Oblit is awesome! I love the colors! They just look so good together!

Incorrect. Death Guard and Iron Warriors are superior to the World Eaters; thus, the only way they could be of a level of awesomeness that's greater than or equal to these would be if they were Iron warriors.

But yes, I'm liking them FAR more now that they're got some paint on them! And that Defiler...just so deliciously evil!

Amazed!

Thanks a lot guys, as always I appreciate the kind words.

How is it that a Nurgle army looks so damn good?

McNinja wrote:How is it that a Nurgle army looks so damn good?

Love the freaky defiler! Looks like a fearsome war engine and a nightmare. Great work!

bigfish wrote:everything is looking good, although where is the cannon on the defiler??

See that big mouth-looking thing that happens to be a mouth? It's gotta go SOMEWHERE, you know...

I think it was back several pages, it was suggested that the mouth should be a bio-cannon.

I don't know if that is what he is going with, but I would accept it if I was playing against him. Hell, I'd let walk all over the board just to see this army in person!

Exactly.

Thanks for the kind words - I just got my butt kicked by a Deathwing army and a Tyranid army today, but I'm learning.

I'm a bit stumped on how to bling the rhino some more - any ideas? Especially the top of it seems to be a bit lacking.

You could nail some bodies to the sides of the rhino, going for that crucified guardsman look. (happy easter?) If you don't feel like going as far as bodies, maybe just some trophies on the sides and top. Either way, I'm sure it'll come out fine with paint on it.

GuitaRasmus wrote:I'm a bit stumped on how to bling the rhino some more - any ideas? Especially the top of it seems to be a bit lacking.

Looks a bit industrial, So if you have any wire mesh of the kind to use for fencing, just lay it over the top with holes for the hatch, as a sort of cover if you get what I mean. Some barbed wire, or additional armor plates I think would look cool too. Anything you could make rusty, pretty much. Aside from that you never can go wrong with corpses, some blunt spikes and such, and chains if you got em.

Something on the exhaust pipes on the side maybe? A nurgle dude manning the twin linked bolter could always help (fused to it perhaps?)

These are awesome! But don't forget your World Eaters!

Stellar work! Your painting just gets betetr and better all the time!

I honestly want to stop painting everytime i see your work and realize I will never be that good!

That Said Great Work Man!

Thanks a lot guys - really appreciate it all. And thanks for the suggestions for the Rhino - it's coming along a little better now.

I'm working on the second unit of plaguemarines - the base colours are done, now for the details. Tonight I did a bit of freehand on the standard, I'm pretty happy with it:



The whole unit:

Fantastic job on the standard. It's quite creepy, and it fits the army really well. The only suggestion I can offer is to maybe bring out the red in the worms so that it contrasts with the green and bone. The added brightness might help a little more to pull the eye to the banner. Also, did you just freehand it, or do you have some special secret recipe?

Standard is looking good. I quite like the subdued colours on the banner. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Wow Guita... that freehand is really incredible. No idea how you manage it, but I love it all the same. Just the perfect touch to make the unit something very special. Well done!

Incredible blog! I think you are probably on a par with Tim Burton for imagining crazy twisted monsters and surreal worlds.

Don't happen to have a quick rundown on the paint scheme for the death guard? I really happen to like the white pre-dirtying.

Again, excellent work. As I like dynamic poses, I think the zerkers are my fav.

Prime12357: No tricks, just patience and thinned paint.

Lurker: Sure thing, it's incredibly easy; I prime skull white, paint the trims slightly thinned down knarloc green, and wash all over with 1:1 thinned down Devlan mud. The recesses are lined with badab black.

Nice job on the battle standard. And I love the paint scheme on the Deathguard. The white tones bring out the details on the models. Looking really good.

That banner is epic, nothing else to say.

Great job, I love the free hand

Thanks a lot, guys.

I've finally converted "The Strain" (counts as Khorne Berzerkers with champion) - you can read the fluff for them on an earlier page. Basically daemon-virus infected marines, led by a dark Magos/apothecary:

Awesome job, once again. The magos is a great kitbash, and the greenstuffing on the rest of the lads is top-notch. I like them a lot

Those strain guys are brilliant!

How did you do the heads? Upside down ork heads?

Thanks a lot.

Sheep wrote:Those strain guys are brilliant!

How did you do the heads? Upside down ork heads?

Actually they're upside down pink horror heads - with the eyes scraped away. The tendrils are dryad branches.

Would've never thought of the horror heads. The arms are dryad, too, right?

The heads are awesome. I've been thinking of using the pink horror heads shaved down but wasn't sure if they would be big enough for my needs.
Anyway as said elsewhere brother outstanding work. Looking forward to paint.

Oh good Lord... those are horrific! Well done man!

Wow those are fantastic. They feel extremely scary. Would fit right in a horror game or movie :

Where is the scythe on the main guy from?

Brilliant! I love the strain! I commend you on your skill of being able to look at something like a horror head and see how it can work and be converted to suit your ideas! they really look animal and creepy, I can't wait to see them painted up, what colour are you thinking?

Stop being so talented, dammit!

But seriously, this is, once again, really awesome! On a related note, you seem to be able to steal my ideas via telepathy: I used those exact vestigial arms from the Talos kit on my own Dark Mechanicus conversion.

All in all, this is shaping up to be a truly unique force! My only criticism would be the present lack of World Eaters, but you probably can't have it all

By all means, keep this up!

Proper awesome work as always brother. Nice to see the defiler done.
Can't wait to see some paint on da strain.
Peace

Those look great. I would love to know how you made the champ. Great job man keep it up.

I love you used the manticore rider and those heads really are well done

Those zerkers are redonkulously cool.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I'm starting to get some paint on the guys - I'm pondering what colours to use on the daemonic parts, leaning heavily towards, reds/blood

Btw, a bit off topic, but I wanted to show off a mini I painted for at friend at my LFGC:

Seriously, I wish i was as cool as you guita.

Fantastic paintjob there

Very nice!

Lovely shade of green you've got going on there.

The Strain are the sh!t. Fantastic and grotesque and very atmospheric. Well done, man.

<3 it

Sweet He'Stan.

Especially love the Obliterators

PapaPiggy wrote:Those look great. I would love to know how you made the champ.

Me, too!

Whoa. I'm not sure how I missed this beast of a blog... Those are some seriously scary berzerker beasties!

Amazing work in here, truly astounding.

I just found my new favourite conversion blog....

Awesome thread! Definitely going to keep up with it

Thanks!

I've been busy painting the berzerkers/possessed, and they're done, but the pics will be better in daylight, so I'll take some as soon as I can.

The latest project has been this new dreadnought, inspired by a couple of sentinel legs in my bitz box that left me thinking "What if...". I got hold of a venerable dread kit, and went to work. This is the result so far.










It's still very much a work in progress, but I'm really liking it so far. It took quite a bit of work to get the sentinel legs to look like I wanted them to, but it was worth it. I'm a bit in doubt about the autocannon and the shoulder icon (too big?), but it's starting to come together - it also needs some greenstuffing of course.

Any comments and ideas are welcomed as usual, and especially ideas for the banner (this one's only temporary)

Nice pose on the legs!!! I think the shoulder icon is perfect The head is cool too. Maybe loose the ork sight on the autocannon.

Hellll Yes! That dreadnought is freaking amazing! I have seen many, many dreadnoughts with sentinel legs and I think maybe one or two other ever did them well, and I don't think I've seen one that's better than this. The legs look reminiscent of a Decimator, and the daemon prince leg armor works perfectly. The pose is just right and nothing looks out of proportion, and as is often the case with sentinel/ dreadnought combos they look too top heavy, and yours does not at all. The autocannons are great - I actually have a few of those Ork bits stashed away for a similar plan! If I can add one bit of criticism, it's that I don't care for the head. It is well done, I just personally like more mechanical heads.

Once again you've reminded me why this is one of my favorite logs on Dakka. Keep it up!

I love how your conversions are made out of stuff I have in my bits box. As chaos players, I think we get a lot more spare bits than everyone else, and you're putting them to great use. It makes conversions easier while still keeping stylish. Your painting, however, is what really seals the deal. Consider me inspired.

That dread is king.

Dude, there I was all proud of my new converted Venerable Dread, and then you had to go and post this. Thanks a lot, I hope you're proud of yourself!

Loving the legs, very cool!

Wow... fantastic build Guita... From the legs to that amazing head... really, really tremendous work!

Thanks a lot guys.

That dread looks really cool, I was thinking of picking up a FW Nurgle dread at some point but its nothing compared to this.

I really love those legs it makes it so chaos like.

Wow! I just went through your blog. This stuff is absolutely amazing! You've given me so many ideas, I don't know where to start. Thanks for posting your work.

Now that's a fancy dred!

Wow mate, i'm not fond of Chaos but everything on this thread is perfect..

well almost everything.. somethin' is still bothering me:
those demonteeth man.. why are they so white ?

anyway keep up the good work !

I'm liking the new dreadnought, especially the head and legs. However, the claw still seems incomplete. Here's hoping you do a between fingers octopus like look? Just me thinking, but that would be pretty cool.

Kaesar II

Some progress pictures:

The strain are completed:







Dreadnought almost done - still needs some freehand on the banner - what should it be?










I also got sidetracked by a silly idea - a 22 model ork nob biker army, on boars - here's some models I made, to see if it's doable. I don't know if I'll do the army, I have to paint them to see if I'm turned on by it:

Nob:





Warboss:





Size comparizon:

Oh great, now all the Ork players can begin feeling bad about themselves too for not having conversions as awesome as yours. That's very big of you, GuitaRasmus

Seriously though, the Strain are completely disgusting (in a good way, of course): I would do everything to stop them from reaching my lines in battle, which was probably the point. And that Dread is truly something else.

As for the freehand, I have three suggestions:

1.) Use a fly motif. That always works ;-)

2.) Use those three horrible, twisted skulls representing Nurgle's symbol from one of the old Chaos Codices:

http://e4.img.v4.skyrock.net/e4a/warhammer-619/pics/510333500.gif

2.) This one may be a little ...unconventional: Paint a corrupted, moldering version of the original loyalist banner, depicting the Dread as a shining knight during the Great Crusade. Think Bjorn the Fell-Handed, only more corrupted and decayed:

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/Space%20Wolves/BjorntheFellhandedWIP6.jpg

Should make a nice contrast with the sheer repulsiveness of the model

How do you think up all of these amazing ideas?????
I just love the way you have done all the small details like the veins going from the metal work to the organic parts, it makes it look far more integrated than just sticking it on

Fething reciulous. Bloody amazing.

Wow!!!

The strain is the most impressive spawn type conversion I've seen for ages!!!

And the dreads paint is so eye catchin!!!!

And ork conversion is awesome!!

Please don't stop

Man that's impressive work Guita... those stealer hybrid/marines are simply amazing.

Superb work as always mate, one day when I'm rich I'll commission an army of your work.

another hour of my life used productively reading the entire thread, there are some truly lovely pieces in here, thanks so much for sharing. I have a unit of Khorne termies that I have had real difficulty posing and now i'm full of ideas, which is bad as i'm supposed to be focusing on tyranids!

Consider me subb'd looking forward to more...

Goddamnit Guita, why do you have to be so good?

Hey can you tell me how you did the green on your Dred?

The dread is looking even more stunning.

Love the Boar Boyz as well, is there no end to your skills Guita

Absolutely amazing! I love the strain, especially the white armor. The reaper figure floating in the baclground looks great, too. And the dreadnpught... wow! I love the whole thing, but I particularly like the legs, the right arm and yhe head. Great work! Gives me lots of ideas.

I second KrautScientist's idea of a corrupt banner on the dread. That coud come out really creepy.

The Orks are very cool, too. Look forward to seeing what you do with them.

So is that NMM on that dred?

What are you doing with the banner? and very nice

Cutthroatcure wrote:Hey can you tell me how you did the green on your Dred?

If you feel like sharing, I also would be interested in your white/green, more traditional Death Guard, paint scheme. I just added a few Nurgle units to my army and I don't much care for the rotten green style.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, everyone. I always appreciate the feedback.

tme0003: It's quite simple, actually - I prime skull white, paint the edges knarloc green (thinned down - this way the lighter edges shine through the paint, giving automatic edges highlights), and wash with thinned devlan mud. Every recess is then painted with badab black.

The metal is simply boltgun metal, washed with badab black.

A generous soul as always, thank you friend, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO THE BIKER NOB ARMY!!!


...please

WOW! Please tell me how you painted the metal on the dred!

That dread is the coolest thing I have ever seen makes me want to make one myself I just love your work

Once more, thanks for the kind words.

Cuttthroat: No, I don't really want to go into comission work - I have a good day job, and I just want to do whatever I want to in my spare time.

Completely understand, I just see so many without skill offering it, and those that are amazing to say the least at painting not doing it...It makes me laugh

But I get your thoughts on wanting your time for you

Holy smoking toaster Batman! those strain models while inspiring in plastic have simply come to undead animated life with some paint! they are simply stunning mate! well done, and i can't forget to applaud that dread as well, everything you do is painted with such care and foresight your blog is just a big thread of Nerd porn, always something to look at that makes you go 'Wow, holy gak! never seen that before!"

Brilliant ideas and conversions mate, so many ideas stolen for later when the CSM dex gets redone!

Amazing work. The conversions are very well done and the paint job matches the conversion work brilliantly. Lots of inspiration here.

POST PICTURES MORE OFTEN!
You're a terrible, terrible person doing this to us, it's like giving someone a bunch of crack for a week (Like f***-off-strong crack, closer to heroine really) THEN suddenly stop giving them crack. They go f***ing nuts, trying to find more crack! Eventually they break down, lose their job and become homeless. And right as they're just about to give up entirely, you leak them a little-teensy weeny bit 'o crack to give them that high again!
But they eventually hit another low, and a couple days later you leak them another tiny bit of crack. And so on and so forth, keeping them forever in anticipation of the next bit of crack, but never really satisfying their urges. It's just plain cruel!

GIVE US MORE CRACK! PLEEEEAAASE!!! WE'RE DYING OVER HERE!!!! CRAAACK!!!

Not usually, but I have done a few, IF I'm excited by the project. If you have an idea, go ahead and ask.

I am starting to model my display board for GW's Armies on Parade contest. It's only a rough mockup, but I like it so far.





Here you can see how the terrain makes a nifty nurgle symbol:




Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

Very exciting what sort of terrain are you going for graveyard, swamp or something truly nurglesque

It'll be done just like any terrain, sculpted, modeled, textured, etc. I am thinking about going with rock/rubble/grass, so it matches my bases, with lots of goodies thrown in. Marsh theme is nice, I'll have to try and think about a way to get that into the theme.

You should do a ton of Trenches like what they died in on Istvaan V when the Viral bombs dropped.

Wow! I think that's going to be awesome.

Very impressive... didn't see the nurgle thing at first but from the overhead view it's quite plain... nice!

I saw the Nurgle symbol right off the bat which means when its done its going to be AWESOME!

Looks nothing short of amazing. Im loving it all.

Not to rain on your parade, but I thought AoP displays had to be a 2'x2' square base (not that I've ever submitted an AoP entry, but I seem to remember that). Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

First off, beautiful work on A) your modeling B) your paintjob, and C) well its too awesome for words, so ofjpaoesfjaopsjgga! Secondly, if for some reason you ever just don;t feel like holding onto one of these armies anymore, please, oh dear sweet blood god and plauge lord, PM me, I love your work so much, I'd love to pick up one of your armies

Oh god, that's the stuff! *lies back in a haze of inebriation*

Wow. I like this a lot. Nice work!

I like the idea, but I think that Rawson is right on the measures.
I suggest, if that's the case, to do a smaller Nurgle symbol as You are doing and in between the circles a proper nasty and putrid marsh/swamp.
Over all your work still above awesomeness!

I have no doubt we will be seeing this army in white dwarf in the future

Cutthroatcure wrote:I have no doubt we will be seeing this army in white dwarf in the future

That would mean they would actually publish something interesting for a change

Then again, Armies on Parade usually only gets one spread per issue, with most models so small you can't even make them out. That's even worse than not printing them in the first place, because it always leaves you wanting more...

Enjoyed your Khorne stuff very much.

These Nurgle models looks also excellent, waiting to see how that army display turns out.

And a gameboard too. . . nice...

Are you going to bring objectives that go with the army and the fluff too?

Will you make the board oozy, bloody, terrainy, or city like?

Even if the display is not within regs, I still say finish it and keep it as a home display. It's really a great idea and I'd like to see what it finishes up as.

Fantastic!
creativity here is overwhelming )

Blood for the blood god sick models

Wow, I just skimmed through all of this thread, and holy moly you are one talented person!
Do you happen to have a step by step somewhere of how you paint the bone white for your death guard? I am starting a World Eater army and want to paint them in Pre-Heresy colors and that is exactly the Bone White I want to have!!

Thanks!!

Just spent a good half hour reading through this and amazing, just amazing. This work is really inspiring and i'm having ideas for my next project to go along side my wolves, not chaos, but so many ideas. Thanks very much for this and keep going, i want to see that display finished and i wish you good luck with the armies on parade entry

The Apostle's looking great, although I am really freaked out that, once again, you're doing a conversion similar to one of mine without either of us ever having seen the other's model. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Oh, and I've done something bad. Something real bad. I got an idea last night, and went to the GW store today and bought the parts for it. I don't know why, I just had a strange urge to build a warp spider wraith lord. Here he is, after tonights work:







Some greenstuffing and details to go, but I really like him so far.

HO-LEEEE SHIII...

Holy mother of Mike!! Wow! What a conversion!

The dark apostle is coming along beautifully.

The wraith lord is completely mind boggling, looking forward to seeing more work done on him.

That wraithlord!!! Excellent work

Great stuff mate, putting a lot of us to great shame

The Wraithlord is fantastic! Great work.

Man...Your stuff is just stupid good. Seriously, fantastic work!

That wraithlord is fething AMAZING!

It's been said oh, once or twice so far..... but Holy edible undies Batman these models are AMAZING! and i'm not wont to type in capitals often!

Thanks a lot guys.

I've finished the green stuff on the wraith spider - and spent 6 hours today painting him, using an airbrush. Great fun, I'll have to use one a lot more. I used teal, purple and green hues, with lots of fades, and it looked great, but in the end I decided it was too dark, and I originally wanted Biel Tan, so I dunked him in some white spirit, and start over.

Hopefully more to come soon. I'm really excited about this, and contemplating a striking scorpion buddy for him as well.

THAT is how the word of Lorgar should be spread!

Stunning... staggering ... just wow. And not even done yet!

Now we just need some ballin' Warp Spiders to go with him! Nice break from the CSM, and still totally stunning.

I am about a year late but PLEASE, PLEASE make a tutorial for those Slaughterfiend Defilers, coolest thing I have ever seen on this website, ever. You're Khorne stuff makes me want to get a berzerker warband of my own!

I can only imagine the warp wraith spider lord (or whatever we're calling it) painted...

The dark apostle is also stunning, especially the parchments. Everything is awesome, as usual

Mother of god... that Wraithlord... I haven't sat awestruck looking at a model for a long time but you managed to get me awestruck for a good 3 minutes

Awesoem Khorne Dread, more blood please

A bit of green coming along - my first experiments using an airbrush:

Oh my good lord that's beautiful even like that! you seriously have some skills!

Nice fade
