Sweet hell, Kernal, that giant chaos whatever really came together with paint. Stunningly monstrous

Thanks you so much Boss ! More madness to start soon !

Mate that warp beast is incredible. I love seeing people explore different avenues of Chaos, and this fleshy daddy long legs is just great. I love that the smaller tendrils look like limbs at first glance when you cast your eye over the underside of the walker - makes you really want to look at the beast or else you end up double-guessing what you're seeing - pure chaos.

Temple is also a nice terrain piece. Getting a cool giger vibe and the little statues on the shelf are a nice touch!

I love your take on Chaos too - that stuff is crazy good. I agree about the "double take on what you're seeing" effect that is so awesome with the big thing. Love the corpse wired in the egg and the gateway especially.

Thanks a lot tzurk, glad to hear the pictures let the viewer get lost in the amount of cables, tentacles and claws that constitute this beast, I certainly did while building it ^^ !

Thanks kestral, much appreciated ! I'll get back to working on the egg soon, I reckon its place in line was stolen by the temple and big beast !

And as is tradition, here is group shot of all the models I finished in 2018, quite a bunch of mutated freaks I'd say !

Not a bad haul of finished work, and they look like they belong together, which is always nice

Thanks monkeytroll ! Yeah, I tend to reuse color recipes a lot, even between different chaos sub-faction, so that helps ^^ !

Good day everyone ! Been neglecting to update this blog lately, but I have not been idle.

First, a project I had for a while, which is to turn this plastic wrapping into an enormous BFG dark mech barge :


First components added to the thing :




Also started on my third knight, placing new armord plates on its legs, started detailing the body and built a first gatling.






And I also want to enter the latest LoER round, by building an arena out of these bits. Still a bit hesitant on the size of the whole thing to be honest, it will require at least an 80 by 80cm base... Still need to work out the general look of the outside of the thing.

Some progress tonight, I started on a winged chaos lord :


And finally decided on a head style for the knight :

What's the torso on the flying lord? A primaris something? I dig the segmented ab armor and can't quite place it.

But yea, scratchbuilt knight #3?? Shaping up

Thanks boss ! And yes, that is the torso of the primaris captain from the dark imperium box, with the aquila covered with a more appropriate design of course.

By the Unholy Pantheon, Kernel, you truly out-do yourself every time! The giant Chaos beast is simply a work of art, and the temple is delightfully sinister

Seriously, I bet that there's a plaque floating around in the Warp somewhere that reads: "Heretic of the Month: KernelTerror"

Loving the winged Chaos Lord too, reminds me a bit of the old metal Raptors

Keep up the good work, and keep spreading the Word of Chaos like the glorious heretic you are!

Means a lot Ezra Tyrius, thank you so much !

Both knight gatlings were given mountpoints today :





And I started attaching tentacle to the dark mech egg :

Kernel, when did you asscend to the rank of 6th Chaos god?

Outstanding as always btw.

Those gatlings are coming along nicely

And I never knew eggs could be this terrifying Wonder what that's going to look like in the end!

@Not Online: Ahaha thanks ! Descent into madness and chaos spawnhood is also a possibility I'm afraid ^^ !

@Ezra : Thanks ! I was actually a bit unsure about that egg design, but with the latest tentacle additions I am feeling more confident in it ! More soon on that one.

In the mean time, I finished the flying lord :

Real life getting in the way of the warp these days, but tonight, I managed to work a little bit on my LOeR entry, by slicing the arena in 4 quarters, and covering them with plaster, to add strength, texture, and protect the polystyrene from the spray paint.

Cool stuff

Thanks a lot Llamahead !

Made some progress on the Dark Mechanicus barge, still lots of detailing to do, but getting there, with the addition of prow features, pits, ventral guns an more...

Love the chaos lord's pose - very avian! The barge is sure to be amazing! How big is it?

Thanks a lot Kestral ! It is (as often in the thread) unreasonably large, here are a few scale shots with other ships for scale :


Also worked some more on the egg, with finally a weapon design I liked, with some kind of multi jaw thing...I still need to build a second one :

How have I missed this blog for so long?

Love the upcycled Chaos barge!

Thanks a lot Kid Kyoto, welcome aboard !

Some progress on the barge, mainly around the engines.

Oh look who has decided to bless us again with his apperance.
I had a hunch that'd you show up with pics

Are you going to make the whole sides with that greenstuff?

That might happen yes ^^ !
My plan is to cram the thing with as many plastic bits as I can, then basecoat it to see how much more details it requiers.

At that point, I might cry a bit.

Or conclude how many more molds I need to make in order to make the thing believeable. But to answer your original question, yes, if I have to cast original BFG things onto that plastic squeleton in order to finish it, I shall !

Allright, time for an Arena update, made some progress adding the main features to all four quarters of the thing :




To fulfill the LoER's gaming related material, I bought some cheap casino chip trays :


That I integrated into the walls. It does not show well right now, as the things are transparent, but they should make nice alcoves where to put statues :


The second tray is located right below an extended terrace, hope the thing will hold...


I still have to flatten the arena's inner walls, but they now have two doors :

Nice progress KernelTerror! I always enjoy your epic builds

Thanks a lot Syro ! That one is indeed quite reasonnable ^^ !

Finished the Egg tonight :


And also worked on the arena over the weekend, by smoothing the inner walls of the arena :


Also added some walls and more plaster to the interior of the opened section :


And finally, all sections now have external floor texture, and the columns were jointed to the walls, again, with plaster.


With all these steps done, I still have to find a way to do some clean seats for the entire thing. For which I do not have a plan yet, should be fun ^^ !
After that, I should be able to basecoat.
