Awesome conversions! Keep up the good work! How large are you planning on making your beast-men army?

Now, all you need is some heavy transport and some air support!

I'm so sad I've caught up so lately in the project...

Your final "advertising" pics are tremendously cool...

Good luck on your future endeavours, hope they'll be at least as cool as this one !

One of the best army concepts I've seen lately...

You can be proud of yourself !

Exalted! Absolutely jaw-droppingly amazing army. Awe-inspiring and just plan inspiring all at the same time.

Ok the “add on” bug has bit me…

Me and a couple of guys here are thinking of doing an Inquisitor campaign in January. For that I really want to do an 54mm 40k beastmen dude for it so I’ve gone back sculpting. I use a chaos daemon prince as a base and went from there.
















































After a bit of cleaning up the green stuff, and a coat of paint-


















































































ps
thank you all for the comments and kind words

You, sir, get three brownie points:

- one for not killing off this wonderful thread after all

- one for getting interested in Inquisitor

- and finally, one for building that fantastic 54mm Beast Mercenary, of course.

Fantastic job, as always!

That is a fantastic project. Wow, what a figure...

(and I love the MBM adverts!)

Looks awesome, I hope you will get infected by the add-on virus and keep building great 40k beasmen stuff.

Fantastic thread.
Fantastic concept.
Fantastic army.

Very rarely do you see an army as conversion heavy as this that is actually finished! That is a massive achievement in its self. And one you have pulled of brilliantly. Well done! I look forward to seeing your next army....!

I hope you find more and more excuses like this to return to this thread.

yes perhaps you need to do a second army..or a third.

awsome defo subbing this

ha this guys great!

I just can’t stop adding things to this army!!! I’m an addict…. I thought I didn’t want to do any more to it, I thought it was all done and dusted- but here I am…. I’m sorry!!!!

Basically I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping (Christmas has never really been a big thing for me or most of other Thai people- but my English girlfriend of 9 years is WAY into it and so I HAVE TO go along with it… I mean what is the point of getting your friends a Christmas card when you can just let them know your feelings by verbally telling them when you are giving them the gift???? You can even hug them if you want…. I’m venting… I sorry…)

Any ways- there was a huge 50%-70% sale in the toy department at this mall I was in, then my “potential parts hunting” instincts kicked in and ideas started flying... I ended up buying these things-



I actually got two of that hermit crab thing…. All for 1400 baht!!! (28 pounds or 45 ish US dollars)
Using parts from these along with the bits and bobs in my Bits box (or what my friends nick named “the bits shed” –



(Yes every closet, boxes, drawers, and little drawers is filled to the top with bits…)


I intend to make a Warhound titan…



I dub this project the Cyber-gorgon project.


I started by throwing the assembly sheet away- I have no idea where it’s going or how it is going to look at the end of it, but I’m sort of putting some random parts together to create shapes that will sort of work and kinda take it from there….




















I “borrowed” this tea tray from my mom’s house and figured it will make a perfect base.

















Then I “accidentally” glued some sand on the base and my mom said I can keep it so it’s all good I think….






I had a lot of trouble with the look of the head… I started with the idea of it looking like the cyber demons from the game Doom-





-This but with huge tusks

So I started sculpting and doing the blocking work for the details of the head and face.

















Even though the end result (even if it doesn’t look like it now) will look like a cyber demon’s head- I felt it looked way too “Chaosy/ daemony” instead of something that belong to the Metal beasts mercenaries. So I ripped it off and started over…

I went with the razorgor look I used for the rhinos and mounts in the main army instead…























Well that’s all I got for now... still have no idea what to do for the arms… It's not that much to look at now but It's still early days......


once again- thank you all for the comments and support of this PM blog it is much appriciated and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Thats some good toys you got there, the toy department is always to find the best bitz for an army (especially orks )
Its also good that you started on that warhound titan (warbull or something), it will keep you busy for a while.
Thinking of it, why dont you ad some more huge vehicles, you ain't got no landraider yet do you?
And maybe some predator conversions or what about a Warlord titan?

Good Good, the adding-virus is working

I am so happy that this is happening.

Wow.

Very impressive, is it large enough to be a warhound? if so give it some pew pew guns.

That does look large enough to be a WHound, but I assume if it's a bit bigger/smaller, no one will give a fudge for the sake of playing such a cool model!

Holy mother of all the metal beast! can't wait to see that giant complete, it looks amazing!

That thing is big.... wow just wow

Holy POO POO that thing looks freakin awesome!!

Your toy shops seem to have much more entertaining things than my local ones... I can't wait to see how he evolves

So glad this thread is getting picked back up again. One of the most creative and innovative 40k armies I've ever seen and I was really disappointed to see it go.

Outstanding.

Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see how this turns out when it's finished.

Wow! That Titan is going to look awesome when finished. Subbed.

Just a small update on the titan…
I wanted to make a diorama-ish base for big guy instead of just rocks or wrecks…
I use air drying clay for the rocks on the base (terracotta red bits)







One of the cygor’s foot is going on top of the hellbrute…lol….


I also made some more beastmen for the base of it as well… I like to think that there’s a unit specially trained to follow and protect the titan’s feet- fighting while effortlessly avoiding being stepped on…










Not finish yet but it’s a start….

I received the warhound weapons from forge world the other day. I ordered one MARS PATTERN VULCAN MEGA BOLTER (LEFT ARM), and the MARS PATTERN TURBO LASER… they sent me the turbo lase and the CHAOS WARHOUND VULCAN MEGA BOLTER (LEFT ARM) instead of the normal imperial one…. I just thought- not the best thing to happen-but the shapes are there- no worries I’ll make that work somehow…. But the thing that gets to me is- the resin is in two completely different colors….. I usually just get the dark grey one but I’ve never seen it as a light color…. Is this normal????



















I ran out of green stuff and anxiously waiting for it to come in the mail, so I had to settle for putty epoxy (same thing I guess, but still.)


I want the titan to have elements of the normal troops so the titan is going to have the same style shoulder pads as them.

I “borrowed” a Christmas decoration from my girlfriend and started hacking away.











To be continued…..


Ps-


I’ve been getting some private messages asking me about what tools I use for the green stuff work. So instead of saying the same thing again and again I’ll just put it up here just in case and in hope that it will be useful to other people as well
Right these are the tools I use most and I’ll go over some of them for ya-



1. this is The tube tool (it comes in a set of three from

http://www.masq-mini.com/aid-240-TubeTool-...ransparent.html

... It’s a bit pricey but it’s well worth it.

2. this is basically hand mold eraser. You should be able to get these in craft shops or shops that sells school stuff. The Japanese stuff looks like this in a pack




Or you can get the expensive stuff from
http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/tools-an...stant-mold.html

But they are more or less the same thing.

3. Pen –I’ll come back to this- it’s awesome!
4. clippers
5. usual sculpting tools
6. rubber sculpting tools (top and bottom bit of this tool is use so take good care of it.)
7. knife and scalpel for trimming or carving into things when hard, or to create sharp corners when the green stuff is hard
8. drill
9. needle
10. that thingy (I’m making “thingy” an official term for this now) you usually get with a tube of super glue. It’s used to get around corners or when you need to put glue into little space I think… more on this one later….
And last but certainly not least……

THE ALL MIGHTY GREEN STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Oh and you need either spit, water or vasaline so the tools dont stick

*1. Right the tubing tools does this-



And so much more!!!!!- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6We-0KI9FlQ&feature=plcp

*2. With the insta mold thing or the hand mold eraser- all you have to do is put it in boiling water and put it on thing that you want to make a copy of like texture or the part it self-





It’s reusable too

Here’s a little how to vid from them-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub70AU5RfmI


*3. Pen…. I use it to make this sort of shape…








Leave it to dry there or cut the bits around the shape apart first and leave it to dry. After it dries I glue it on to whatever it needs to go on…



I use this for bolts, mechanical eye shapes, goggles, machine textures, or whatever….




* 4 &5 you can figure out.

6. Rubber sculpting tools is used to smoothes out curved bits, or make neat, clean cuts into the green stuff or soft shaping.



I also use the end bit of the tool to make blood vanes on skins, or shapes for bio organism stuff. Then smooth it off with the rubber end.



7,8, & 9. Just for trimming, scraping and poking

10. this is great for warts, puss filled zits, and other stuff of a round-ish shapes.



When Im sculpting a head I also use this tool to make eyes…. Make the ball shape first then push the green stuff around it to make the eye shape.

This is about it I think. To be honest most of the time I just use random things that are around me to create the things I want. There isn’t really a “set” of tools that I use whatever it is… Just experiment with random stuff and look at what texture it makes on the green stuff surface. Oh and have fun just with it I guess.

Looking good man!

nicely done
