Greetings,

Well, I’ve nearly completed my slight soulgrinder conversion “Connie and Clyde,” with a little girl making a titanic soulgrinder do her foul bidding (much like GC does in real life). Pics when I can successfully beg someone with a decent camera to take some pics.

As a counterpart, and final piece in this demon list, was going to convert a soulgrinder by adding a scorpion tail, with the mawcannon being fired from it (basically the extra legs in the soulgrinder kit melded together with a twin linked autocannon type tail in a half a$$ed brass scorpion manner). However it occurred to me that I need a counterpart for Colonel Z. He’s into percussion/keyboarding and composition. So thinking of the world’s largest noisemarine.

Initial Thought
***Keep the scorpion tail concept, with the mawcannon being turned into a sonic weapon (not sure what a sonic cannon would look like)
***mayhaps big bad demon with headphones and sunglasses
***Some sort of keyboard strapped to the SG’s belly? Probably easiest to mount there. The original concept was that the scorpion SG would have the claw option for each hand (right saved from the previous mini). I’d still like to keep that.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

Well, a keyboard isn't very scary. But an organ is pretty gothic. Thing is, it works better with smaller characters. Maybe you could play off of the fingerboard style triggers of the sonic weaponry?

I would suggest going with the percussion angle and model giant drums of laced together skin and heads/skulls/limbs. Quite grisly. Or, perhaps even more perverse, drums made from its own flayed and stretched skin (perhaps from it's torso region, leaving the underlying muscles exposed.

Eww that is gross. I like it.

Drums are do-able with my minimum skill. Another thought has been to convert the tail into a giant boom box speaker, replete with chaos symbols.

You could go with a couple of Dirge casters blended into the body of the deamon, with green stuff... tank hatches make good loudspeakers as well if you put some gridded plate in the middle.

You defenetly need at least one or two speaker/amps on the guy. Though I don't know how you could put that into a tail. I really like the idea of sunglasses, and headphones though

He could be holding a stage made out of himself, upon which a band of Daemonettes wail on instruments of doom.

Mayhaps speakers on the shoulders (like leman headlights or the 3 prong smoke launcher which wocould be a good loudspeaker) with the tail being a really large speaker or sonic blaster (nmeed to find a picture of a sonic blaster).

Yes I'm liking the idea of shades and an I pod/phone setup (its so Colonel Z).

Keytar FTW.

I'd say to find a way to make his eyes and mouth both speakers. Writhing cables/power lashes for the DCCW... Take a look at lemmingspawn's stuff: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/180/189538.page (not that you probably haven't already...)

Interesting. Fits with the old chaos codex picture. Potentially do-able.

He needs shoulder length curly hair, fine features, and a pan flute.

What? Like you can think of anything more terrifying than Yani. :p

You could also model it like the Mainliner from that video game "The Suffering"... Ew. Just ew.

Something that looks akin to a Daemonic Magic Mushroom induced vision of David Bowie might be appropriate.

At this point I’m thinking:
*scorpion tail is sonic cannon consisting of (old style) IG searchlights with wire mesh in front.
*brass horns from IG smoke grenade launchers
*mouth in mesh (aka speaker coming out of its mouth
*kewl sunglasses
*earbuds and walkman (that’s an IPOD for you youngins out there)
*small school emblem on one of the metal plates sticking out of the SG’s torso.

sounds good, but perhaps a good old pipe in the mouth would be good, you could use some of the industrial piping from the cities of death range

How about mounting an entire rock band on a platform secured to the legs. You could have a drummer, guitar, bass and lead singer. The band could be maybe a KISS style band, think about it Gene Simmons leading your army!!! Also mount speakers around the base of the platform and if you are really cool you could mount LEDs to create a light show.
