Today is a great day: I finally got my PC back, and you know what it means? That after more than 2 months I CAN FINALLY POST ALL THE PICS I WANT!!!

So here it is guys, more than 2 months of painting and modelling:
Some WIPs of my World Eaters

The Lost Champions, finally done:

A test for my Noise Marines with Blastmaster

And WIPs of the Sonic dread and its base, including the Blastmaster (warning! it's a drag-nought):

What do you think?

**Yggdrasil**

Great!!

The purple crackling energy on the close combat weapons look great! The Lost are nice, those colours are striking!!!

Did you paint the Rhino with an airbrush?

As for the Dread... I was expecting something far worse than that lol!!!

**tipios**

Yey sonic dread, where did you get the head? not only will everybody hear him coming they, gona see him coming from a mile off

I love the triangle doom siren totaly awsome. Have you got any chaos vehicle chains to go on the underneath of the blastmaster, I think that will make it even cooler.

The terminators are really good too, I love the purple.

I'm glad you got your pc back up and running, and good luck finishing off the dread, have you got enough pink?lol!

Sorry, 2nd ed noice marine head. I knew you mentioned it first, but forgot to check.

**Hyenajoe**

Thanks guys!

@Yggdrasil: Thanks! Yes, I've used an airbrush on the rhino. It was hazardous, but I'm fine with he result. What do you mean by "I was expecting something far whorse than that"? Do you think it's not pink enough?

@ tipios: I'll look at what it'd look like with chains, and try to post pics of it.

I'll try to finish the legs and arms this week-end (it needs washes).

Do you think I should use more black on the sarcophagous? (I'd like to paint the central part of the top -beneath the icon- black with golden rivets to get more contrast).

**tipios**

Yes I think black in the top cenre would look good.

**tinfoil**

Nice looking stuff. I particularly like the sonic work on the Emperor's Children dread. It's going to be a striking piece.

**Hyenajoe**

Thank you Tinfoil.

Some fresh news! I've done a test model for my daemonettes, and the sonic dread is on a good way.

Here's a WIP of the CCW arm:

I'm going to wash every surfaces and do some highlights.
Do you think I should paint energy crackling on the claws?

And a pic of the back:

And here's the Daemonette:

What do you think? Should I paint the claws purple or red? Or leave it white?

**Yggdrasil**

Progress looks good on the Dread!
I'd say go with the crackling energy 1. only if you can pull it out neatly and 2. only if you find a colour that won't mess up with the rest!

As for the daemonette, it looks great!!! Well in line with the dread colours.
As for the claws, I think they'd deserve a bit of colour... Maybe darken only the "nails" in themselves but leave the skin parts whit-ish?

**tipios**

The crackling looks good on your termi, so go for it

The dread claw looks nicer everytime I see it. I need to do something more like this on my Slaanesh.

I like the daemonette too, can you blend purple into the white? How did you do the gold?

Keep up the good work!

**Yggdrasil**

Oh, of course I had forgotten about the nice purple energy on your Terminators... Thanks tipios for pointing it out!

So go for it on the Dread !!!

**abhorsen950**

Excellent work, every model is extremely well executed, I've enjoyed reading through your thread from start to finish.
Keep up the stunning work!

**Rose_Mountainz**

So...much... pink! Very cool dude.

Thanks Yggdrasil, I'll give a try to the claws as you suggest it

Thanks Tipios.
If I paint the claws purple or red, I'd do it with an aibrush so it would blend quite nicely.
For the gold, I went for a Glorious gold (from Games colors) then a gryphonne sepia wash, then progessive highlights, first with glorious gold then with a mix of burnished gold and mithril silver.

I think it will deserve to be named "Brother Bahrbra"

. Thanks for the comment man!

Small update:

Here are some pics of the Blastmaster arm (still WIP).
As suggested by Tipios, I've tried the chains beneath the blastmaster, but since I lake both options, I can't decide!
What's better:

Or

Please, give me your advice!

Here are also some new pics of the torso:

I hope you'll like it.

**tipios**

Yes the blast master does look good both ways

but when it is attached to the finished dread the chains will look better. Maybe wait until all finished and see how it looks when the dread is standing, then decide. Painting is coming onnicely, the pink and black contrast is nice.

You're right, I'l keep and paint the chains appart then, when the Dread will be done I'l see what it looks like.
I hope to finish the dread within the next two weeks, after what ill paint my 19 other Daemonettes. I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time, and to finish what I start.

**Hyenajoe**

Time to post some news!

@ tipios: I've found the perfect chains for my dread in the Dark Eldar ravager kit (I should get them during th next ten days)

I was optimistic to think the dread would be done by now... I had not much tiime to get my paint box out, but instead I took my converting tools and worked on three things.

1st: The Pendullum of Chaos
The screaming bell chassis has been reduced and I'm adapting it to the Soul grinder hull. It still needs metal plates but it's a start. The rat ogre is turning to a chaos spawn and will receive some GS to erase the skaven mark and to add hair.

2nd: the first Slaaneshi Daemon Prince using Abberation Prime bits:

It will receive a trygon tail (like Brass Scorpion's DP) But Instead of wings I'll give him trophies racks or exhausts.

What do you guys think is better?

3rd: the second DP using Abberation Prime Bits:

This one will receive wings and AP legs and arms. This head has scything mandibles but I'm not sure of which direction I should put it:
like this?

or like this?

I'm currently working on adapting the AP arms to the DP torso.

What do you think ?

**neil101**

lots of cool , stuff , i didnt realise you had a blog for your army, will check it out asap. as for the madibles its a tricky one both look cool actually , but i think the higher one above the jaw looks more threatening, also looks a little like preadator and alien combined!

**tipios**

Hyena, the The Pendullum of Chaos really looks nice.

The Abberation Prime heads are awsome on a DP.

I would go with trophy racks on the first one, and the second mandibles position looks better to me.

I'm looking forward to seeing progress on these

I have the sames problem as you, when I sit down to paint, I just want to build instead lol!

**The Good Green**

Great conversions. Those heads are perfect on the DPs. I think the mandibles look better up, more like they would pull you in further, should you be foolish enough to get close to it's mouth.

**Mastiff**

Some great models here. I'm love the Skaven-pendulum thingie.

**Hyenajoe**

Thank you for your comments!

So there are two votes for the mandibles up and one for the mandibles down. Keep telling me what you think on this point.

Tell me about the back of the 1st prince, Trophies or exhausts? Tipios suggest the trophies, there again, keep telling me your opinion.

I really need feedback on these points.

**Vitruvian XVII**

Trophies look far better imo.

Mandibles down has it for me as well.

**Hyenajoe**

Well, it's 2 for the mandible up and 2 for the mandibles down, the vote is still open

Here's a pic of the first prince test building:

I've converted a handless AP arm and added a 40k hand with daemon sword to it (it needs GS of course but it give a good idea of what it'd look like once finished):

I've not yet decided how I should put the left arm in position:
Up?

Or down?

What do you think?

**tinfoil**

I love where you're taking the Prince (and I think I like the arm up, myself). Great ideas in this one -- it's looking truly sick and twisted, and entirely daemonic.

**tipios**

I second the arm up, ready for slicing

also this DP is looking really nice already. Nice job!

I've changed my mind on the scything mandibles head, and now prefer the 1st pic

**Killmaimburnkillmaimburn**

Arm up, mandibles down and trophy racks will look bad ass! Really like the look of your DP!

**Vitruvian XVII**

Arm up!

Loving the aesthetics on that, looks almost Cryxian! (which is a good thing lol!)

**Hyenajoe**

Thak you guys!

I'll try to work a little the DPs every day, and to post pics regularly. Since I've got nothing on schedule for this week-end, I might have the time to make a GSing session to finish the DPs modelling.

I might also try to finish the Sonic Dreadnought and -why not- work on the daemonnettes... (or am I too optimistic again?

)

So now there are three trophies rack and no exhausts, so I'll go for the trophies.

**Yggdrasil**

Not much time, but votes are :
- trophy racks ;
- mandibles upwards (2nd option) ;
- left arm up.

Awesome DPs, I had planned to try the Aberration heads on River Troll bodies actually!!!

**Hyenajoe**

Thanks Yggs!

Following the general opinion, the first prince will have a trophy rack and a raised left arm.

About the second prince's mandible it's 2 votes for the 1st proposition (mandibles up) and 4 votes for the second one (mandibles down), but the vote is still open!

I'll post new pics soon of both princes soon.
