Well I ran into a slight hitch in my plans. This:



That midget on the far left, that's a WF Grave Ghoul, puny ain't he.


I suppose I could try to convert them into a more upright pose, but honestly I be better sculpting new torsos to go with the other wise awesome heads and arms. But even then I doubt they approach the height if a daemonette. They really don't look very resilient.

I could easily fit three on a 40 mm bases and use them as counts as nurglings though...yes I definitely see some potential for evil looking little munchkins.



or



Can you get any more disturbed than midgets in SM gear these...





So....uh... what do you all think? Would Kroot be a better base for tormentors? How do they scal against daemonette?

Kroot are very tall, slightly taller than a stock space marine...Ill have to get back to ya on my thoughts, this one needs some tinkin...

Kroot are pretty good, as they are distinctly non-human, but you need to keep in mind that you might want to file down all of their body quills, manage to hide their sashes and cover/smooth their belly segmentation to make them not look like kroot. Flaggelents might be a good choice though:

Lovely work, very much enjoying your P&M Blog.

Okay....stuff:



Worked on the Gluttons yesterday:

- sculpted better flowing loincloths, with wrinkles and stuff.
- added liberal piercings and welts from daemonette whips.

Oh and I did this conversion...



I also buffed up the banner bearers:





I'm also thinking of making a few more running Gluttons.



They just look cool. Just imagine that huge hoof coming down crushing a guardsman's torso under foot. If Ogre kingdoms didn't suck so bad I'd do a tricked out army. I still may...imagine one punching out a Brettans horse?


Imps of Slaanesh:


I also started working on the new bodies for these imps of Slaanesh. They're kinda look like flying monkeys, so they'll have tiny vestigial wings.



See, told ya these things were tiny. How large is the nurgling base? I was thinking of putting 3 on a 40 mm base squabbling over some treasure of some sort. With the huge grasping hands on the models, they could represent greed fairly well.


Pleasureseekers:

These are finally done. They just need a little sanding and some paint. Here's an example of the finished conversions.

I also worked on the Daemon Princesses, cleaning them up and working on the variant heads. I'm working on GS hair today. I'm excited though ordered some more silicon rubber, I want to get them molded and cast this weekend. If all goes well they be available for sale next week...PM if interested!


Daemon Princess #1



Things to do:

- this head variant will be pretty close to the FW keepers horn arrangement.
- the body is pretty much done except for some rivets on the armor, I haven't decided whether or not to engrave the individual armor plates.
- I still need to smooth out the wing joins and sculpt the neck...30 minutes tops.
- her crotch is exposed. Does she need a loincloth as well?

Daemon Princess #2



Things to do:

- needs engraving on the arm and leg bands.
- needs a few more BS rivets on the left arm and right leg.
- the forward swept horns on the head will be complemented with a more prominent nose, and long flowing anime- style hair.


Daemon Princess #3



Things to do:

- finished the sword, and beefed up the handle on it.
- re-sculpted the right shoulder and tweaked the arm for better anatomy and proportion. Still need to fix the elbow.
- will be re-sculpting the right hand to be more expressive.
- this variant head will be screaming...or moaning in ecstasy... or something... Its will have the single horn and tentacle hair of the Juan Diaz daemonettes. Don't worry I'm still working on the mouth, which will also have teeth.

Should i change the face to look more like the beak of the Diaz daemonettes?



All the head together as the are now:






If anyone has a suggestion regarding the hairdos let me know. The kit will include at least one bald head to ya can do you own hair style in GS.



More later....

Definitely crazy tentacle hair

Cornrows might also be a good way to go, as well as some of the Dark Elf style multi-top knot thing those witch chicks have going.

I'm not quite sold on the skulls dangling off the bearers' banners. Something about them just strikes me as being out of place. They almost seem tossed on as an afterthought, sort of a 'demons are supposed to have skulls' thing. Or is that 40k is supposed to have skulls? >.>

Judgement withheld on the screaming (moaning) head right now, that single horn is bugging me but it will probably look very different with the hair added. I like the rest of the heads. And I love the pose of the of the 3rd princess. I may have to attempt something similar with my wyches...

hi. your stuff is great seri.
just wondering, have you made any models of the gorgon people (horrors)? maybe they could be juggling fire.

also on the preggy soul grinder idea, try sticking her on a stand type thing. basically a seat with six legs (like the soul grinder base) and have her wired into it. also with the belly gun, have you thought of having it with a demon climbing out of the belly gun, and a bunch of others climbing down the front of the model as if they have just climbed out. just a thought.

I have to say this is super awesome work !

maybe instead of calling the gluttons, gluttons, call them blood gluttons, (they are khorne right?) or glutton slavers (representing the fact that this is a slannesh army, not a khorne one, and the gluttons don't look slanneshi, so say they were enslaved by the demonnettes, though i suppose they already are because of the wips.) if they are slaves ii would say make it a bit more distinct, coz overall they look brill, but they dont look slannessh enough.

also , you know how you cast your models, do you sculpt, then cast, or cast ready made models/conversions???

'Blood Gluttons' would be a Khorne name. Being a Slaaneshi Army, I'm guessing their official name will be something different when he's done.

And he casts his own sculpts on account of the fact that recasting existing GW stuff is illegal and if you just start recasting and selling a bunch of their stuff, they'll bite you. Hard.

how about, pleasure gluttons?

Because that would be like naming your child 'Crotchrub Bungstuffer'... ...On second thought, considering this is a Slaaneshi army, that wouldn't be far off

Your conception of Slaanesh seems a little limited. Sure its mostly about sexy, demon girls. But I want to hint at the multi-faceted nature of Slaanesh. S/he is the God/Goddess of Excess/Vice and Sin. As in the seven deadly sins.

Gluttons:

Gluttons are the manifestation of the sin of Gluttony. Their supposed to be obese lumbering monstrosities that exist only to eat and drink. Which is why I choose ogres bull for the count as models. Their fluff already matched what i intended to use them for. They count as blood crusher because A. they're huge, and B. they're multi-ton monsters whose vast bulk serves as their armor. I submit that a giant fat guy who wants to eat you is just as terrify as a being chased by a mechanical bull.

They aren't slaves of the daemonettes but they are easily distracted by anything that they can cram into their maws, especially mortal flesh! The daemonettes on their base are their to keep them moving forward rather than chowing down.

Now having said that, I'm always open to suggestions. They already have exposed breasts, nipples, horns and piercings. So what would you do to make the more slaaneshi?

also , you know how you cast your models, do you sculpt, then cast, or cast ready made models/conversions???

It depends really. Casting for me is really just a way to save having to sculpt the same thing multiple times. Take the Daemon princesses for instance i needed three. But why start from scratch on each one, when a more generic body would save literally weeks of effort. For the gluttons everything from the waist up is GW parts, the legs are custom and the arms were converted by adding a plug in the upper arm. For the mounted daemonettes its a mix I sculpted and cast new legs with daemonette feet, and used GW heads and torsos, with sculpted on breasts. Some have cast torsos that I sculpted without their corsets. Really, it depends.

Thanks! Great ideas here the Gorgons are coming, I like really like the juggling fire idea. Hmm...I'll have to think about the Soulgrinder idea...

Was it really that obvious? I've got no ideas as to what to use in their place though... Really it was and attempt to make the banner look a little less plain.

I working on her right now, so pictures soon.

Gorgeous, absolutely amazing.

Perhaps instead of the skulls hanging off the banners, you could have large meat hooks. It would fit better with the Gluttons.

I just realised that you are fifth miracle from Warseer.
These models are awesome by the way.

Hmmm...I like it. I might even have some bits that would work.

I've been working on the first grinder and DP heads & hair. Here's a teaser on the DP's:

they look MUCH better with hair. what do you use to model, is it green stuff or putty?

Agreed, the Dps look way better with hair.

Dp3 Dread locks?

Updates:


Daemon Princesses:

I don't know about putting hair on this one, so I'll need feed back.





This one has flowing hair, and will have hair ornaments when done. She's also getting a new less pouty face, or maybe having no nose or mouth is creeper?





Yeah for Tentacles!





Soul Grinder # 1

Okay here's sculpted leg in the mold box. I should have cast tomorrow.



Here are two photo composites of what she looks like with the sculpted legs.






Soul Grinder #2

Here the final mechanical leg base for the pregnant grinder



Here's the start of the build up.



Grinder #3

For grinder #3 I decided to re-purpose this guy. He's going to be a huge KOS style daemon counts as.





More Later!

bloody hell, youre one awesome modeller, and youve got the way people should treat the chaos codexes way down, "count as" FTW!!!

Will you be selling casts/resin bitz? or will you sell the entire army? You really should keep your work to yourself

Thanks for the comments guys!


Soul Grinder #3

Here's more progress on the KOS - grinder stand in. He's being based off this image:




I'm using super sculpey to quickly build up the anatomy of the model. Once baked I'll be skinning it with Aves apoxy putty and detailing it.










Soul Grinder #1

Worked on the pregnant SG as well. I'm baking the shoulders and ribcage at the moment so that I can drill the holes for the arms, and start work on them. I also started work on the mechanical legs for her mobile. The black lines on the model are there to indicate the locations of the various muscle groups.





Soul Grinder #2

I finished casting up the legs on the second SG. So, she's moving along fast, and will definitely be done this weekend. I must say she looks much better in life than in my sketches. The sexy, spider, ballerina nature of the legs is pretty creepy. The triple fan service crotch shot will doubtlessly disturb many, as well.

Daemon Princess:

I didn't get much feedback regarding the heads or hair on them. But I'd like some suggestions on adding some nice final details to them. I want them to look sexy rather than gribbly. But, looking at the GW greater daemons, they seem a little under detailed at the moment.



Anyway I have to get ready for work. Happy Friday!

WOOT TENTACLES! I might suggest a somewhat more prominent chin on the tentacle haired girl though... the way it slopes now combined with the tongue suggests Downs syndrome a bit. Then again, maybe I am just traumatized by the baby in a bottle my highschool bio teacher had.

Definitely digging where the soul grinders and that excellent KoS are going too. Great blog so far!

Oh, yea, the bald daemon princess. I think perhaps the horns are a tad big and bulky. For some reason they are saying "Khornate brutality" not "Slaaneshi delicacy". It might just be the over all shape though that suggests the skull/rabbit ear icon of Khorne though.
Still, this is a fantastic bit of work!

I love chaos, slaanesh and your model skills.. just wish slaanesh had a bit more kick behind the greatness in terms of playability..

It’s comforting to know that no matter what I model in life, it will never be as awesome as how this army is turning out!!!

Wow

The putty color is nice. Looks like paint. So the Soul Grinders reminds me to some "Silent Hill"-Demons.

Well done sersi, things seem to be progressing nicely, as for detailing, ill wait to see what you do for expressions and hair details on the princesses, but on the grinders, I think one of your best options to consider may be paint detailing, as in tatooing... they are nice big models, compared to the princesses and such, and therefore it is easier/faster/more enjoyable to do tatooing on models like those...

I look forward to your progress!

sersi, is there any chance that you would be able to cast up some of the smaller sets of wings you used to make the winged deamonettes in the size comparison pic on page 1
