I have, like, a bazzilion projects open right now, but I did manage to put some paint on the Deff Dred conversion so here we go. Size comparison included.






That is the best Hulking Ork dread I have seen. Not one of these Kit-bash styles ones (which have their place) but a very menacing look, I was actually reminded of a Stylised Batman like Arkham Asylum or the older animated series.

Incredible stuff! I shall have to come back and read the whole blog when I get the chance. From what I see, it will be a fun read!

And it's time for the customary Christmas update. No work + everyone sleeping due to overeating = me being bored and dredging up a box of Kabalite warriors. Here's a test piece to check if what I want to do makes any sense.

The test piece turned out rather well, so here's the first proper member of my future warband (Necromunda scale, as I con't think I could manage 50+ conversion like that with my attention span). I decided to use the nominally male torso because a) I like my females moderately endowed in the chest region, b) the female torsos on the Kabalite sprue are rather bad and make the model looks as if it suffered from sever chest deformation. In any case, the head and general posture should be enough to denote her as, well, her. She'll be the second in command. The leader will have to wait until I get my hands on some Incubi parts.

You got the pose down perfectly.

I'm glad she gives off that kind of vibe, since, well, she was supposed to look like that. Not a nice lady she is.

So I'm waiting for some Dark Eldar bits to make a few more members of my warband, and in the mean time I decided to tackle an old favorite of mine. I bought it as soon as it came out in finecast and squirreled it away somewhere, only to find it while doing Chirstmas cleaning. Here goes.



No idea what to do with the rider yet.

The steeds pretty much done. I'll add some hooked chains later on, but not before I have the rider sorted out.

Any chance you could tell me what the original model the horse was before you worked your magic? would be cool to see how far from the original it ends up

Thanks for the updates HMV, thrilled to see more of your stuff as always. Fantastic reposes on the evil space elves, but really dig that rebuild of Dorghar. For whatever reason that uber-demo-pony was always one of my favorite chaos beasties all on his own (and not just because horses are intimidating as feth - wasn't there a super evil horse somewhere in the anime Curse of the Undead Yoma? Anyway that comes to mind )

Yeah, I always found percherons to be rather scary, with all their muscle and sinew and size. My neighbor owned one. Black as night. He (the owner) was 6' tall and he could barley see over the horse's back.

But it's not all horses or ponies here, right?

And it's almost finished. A few spikes here and there, maybe a couple of minor armor plates and we're off to painting this bad boy.

Awesome stuff as usual man. I would love to see a time lapse video of your work, just because you can not possibly actually do it as effortlessly as it appears from here. but then, you probably do, and I would probably have to throw myself off my balcony. So, thanks for that.

I do sculpt fast, but I wouldn't say it's effortless. There's quite a bit of swearing involved to be true and a decent amount of randomness which, admittedly, often results in good effects.

I don't know man, your results are just stunning. Effortless or not, you do an amazing amount of amazing in a short amount of time

So I finished the mounted Chosen, but felt my painting skills might have gotten a bit rusty lately, so picked a warm up mini of a slightly smaller scale. Unfortunately I couldn't get my photographing kit out for this one so I'll probably have to do another round of pictures when I get it sorted out.

Great blog mate, read through it a few times over the last few weeks/months and it's very inspiring. Oh and is that the best Deff Dread ever? Yes, yes it is.

This is something I was planning for a long time now, and just recently found a sliver of time to get to it. Experimenting with forms and proportions is always fun, and demons of all kind never get old.





I was going to say I'll be making a couple more, but we all know I have issues with finishing my projects. If I get this one to prototype cast stage, I'll be happy.
