By the gods, that thing looks incredible!

**tipios**

thanks lindsay40k

changed the head angle.

**evildrcheese**

That's really cool. Is the head from the Skull Cannon kit?

EDC

**tipios**

thx EDC

Yes the head is from skull cannon.

He needs pipe hair to fill in the top and back of head.

There's 2 option for eyes. The big bug eyes, or they are behind the armour at the front. I prefer the second.

**Anvildude**

Looks like Isaac from Dead Space. Gonna smash up some gribblies?

Ooh, that'd be a neat pose. Stomping the legs off a Tyranid of some sort.

**tipios**

Oh yeah Anvil dude. I'll have to make the slits glow blue.

Sooo awesome. I'm totally stealing that idea for one of my future mauler fiends for my KDK

**KernelTerror**

Great to see this restarting, will be following closely.

**GiraffeX**

Welcome back tipios, its good to see you getting back into the hobby

**tipios**

@evildrcheese cool, the Skull cannon has got loads of nice bitz for that.

@kernel Thanks

@GiraffeX wish my wife thought the same, HA!

Need to buy some green stuff, but until then.

Liked the look of the kastelan robots. So just got the torso from a bitz store, and started chaosing it.

**tipios**

And robot has got some arms, but think the shoulder pad needs to come in closer to body.

What do you guys think?

**KernelTerror**

Damn, the close up really shows the sinister face of your mauler fiend, really cool.
As for the shoulders, yeah, might be worth having a look at having them slightly overlap the body...

**tipios**

@kernelterror thanks, It does look better closer but I didn't take a picture yet, because I found my green stuff, which must be over 5 years old. I thought maybe it won't work, but it did!

**Elnibbus**

Wowzer... There is some truly inspirational stuff in here!

**tipios**

thanks Elnibbus

Didn't have time to role out more GS last night, so just testing some things coming out of the head ideas.

**lindsay40k**

I like them swept back, recalls predatory insects

**tipios**

@lindsay yeah i prefer them, but still not sure I will use them.

I've been doing 2 or 3 pipes a day, so this may take a while!!

Also trying some Dark Mechanicus ideas.

**KernelTerror**

Nice progress, and that demon horse project should be interesting.

**tipios**

Thanks Kernel, it's become a tentical horse

**evildrcheese**

This is so cool. Excellent work on the Maulerfiend, the wire dreads looks excellent!

EDC

**tipios**

thanks EDC.

Just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone.

If Santa got my note, I should have more models to play with after today yay!

**tipios**

Love the look of the contemptor dread. Got the model cheap off ebay for christmas wooooh. Can't believe it's £35 rrp!!!

Did the standard cut him up a bit to sort out pose. Changed head, I've got loads of head ideas, gona try and get a few more of these cheap and try other stuff.

**lindsay40k**

Cool

Are you planning to use the included weapons or switch them out?

**tipios**

@lindsay40k, thanks. I want to do autocanon, and maybe a chain fist. I think I can cut up the multimelta to make the auto canon. I want it to have belt feed ammo, m60 style. Want to make them myself but not sure how yet. Has anyone tried that, I try searching, but only find place to buy them.

Anyway, for first time ever I have a dedicated area to build stuff, so hope that can speed me up, and finish off models for once.

**usernamesareannoying**

these are some seriously weird models.
mini vices stuck to their feet, flying robot horse heads and pin drills stuck in their bum...
you sir are a weird individual.

great stuff really. sorry if it's been asked but what are you planning on doing with all of them? is there a list that you can use them all in?

looking forward to the contemptor rebuild. hes one of my favorite models.

**SilverMK2**

Some really cool work being done here!

**lindsay40k**

I haven't made an ammo belt, but if I were to do it, I'd make an armoured feed by bending a paperclip into the shape I want, making rectangular segments out of plasticard, coating the paperclip with GS and pressing it into having a cross-section similar to that of the empty inside of the segments, threading them along and adding more GS in between them to fill the gaps out.

When that's done, add greebling like extra segments joining or capping the segments, or cables running along the length.

thanks yes weird, and I love the 40k universe, but never got into playing it, just always went into gamesworkshop to look at the models. Dawn of war got me back into it and so did finding DakkaDakka. So no lists just do it for fun.

@Silver thanks.

@lindsay40k thanks.are those your models? cool if they are. I was thinking more of open ammo belt though.
