I'll be building the XXXth Host of the XVIIth Legion - Word Bearers!

So far, the only part of my army that is 100% assembled is my 1st Defiler.

He represents what continued Daemonic Possession for ten thousand years will do to machines.

So, here it is for all to see. Enjoy.



















there are more images available in my Defiler album

It may appear to have a Slaanesh theme with all of the rings and loops. Well, that's not the case (my Word Bearers would not tolerate that). Those loops and rings are there to restrain and torture it while not in combat.

Hope you enjoyed viewing it, as much as I enjoyed building it.

It looks stunning, am looking forward to seeing it painted.

Looks fan-dam-tastic! Can't wait to see it all painted up.

I love the model. It's spot on.

The only niggle I got is that I don't think XXX is a number. Unless you are looking for the 101010th which would be CMMX? Or possibly MCMX. Or I'm just totally mentally indisposed right now (friday night and everything.) This is bothering me now though, so if someone can explain it to me...

Anyway. Can't wait to see this beast painted up all nice and shiny. Awesome conversion.

XXX = 30

great details and conversions.

bamf!!

I really Hate the deamon defiler model, but you Sir have done one lovely job towards changing my mind! Are we gonnna see this beast on Monday Nights at OR or are you on the Big island? Really nice work.

It's been there the last two Monday nights, and I think it will continue to be a mainstay of my list.

I love the standard Defiler model but this conversion has made it look even better! absolute brilliant work !

Maybe some chains from the hoops to act like reins....

Would help the rings not look like kinky nipple and nose rings....

Though maybe that'd just make it kinkier, needless to say, aye it does look very slaanesh.

LOOKS EPIC!!!!

Very Slaanesh-like.

If you paint it un-Slaanesh-like it won't look to Slannesh-like

Reminds me of a monster from Doom... excellent, excellent job. Looking forward to seeing it painted.

Nicely done. Very fitting for a chaotic engine of destruction.

very nifty, cant wait to see it painted XD

...sweet...*drool**smack*..dude...

No seriously, wow, stunning!

Blasphemy to Omnissiah it is! It's well good

Dude that is awesome. looking at this makes me want to finish up my much neglected soulgrinders. Plus there are some really cool ideas i might just "barrow". kudos to you, cant wait to see this beast painted.

I hate the Word Bearers, but there is no doubt that this is one crazy awsome model. Great work.

I love all the extra bionic/organic/daemonic bits you've done. But there just doesn't seem to be a Word Bearer theme to him - but then again, what would be an appropriate Word Bearer theme for a gigantic daemonic engine from the pits of hell eh? lol

All in all, this is awesome stuff. I think if you paint it, it would look totally awesome. How would you paint it anyway?

thank you all for your positive feedback. It really means a lot to me.

painting: Ah yes, one day. I figure I'm an -A to an A on converting. I think my painting ranks around a solid C right now. When I feel real good about my painting skills, I'll start throwing it on my heavily converted minis.

once again, thanks for the reviews

Looks more like a slaneech defiler covered in peircing with combat drungs pumping thru it

BTW, what are you using for the piping and tubing on this? it looks well snazzy, may need to knick the idea for my Mechanicum army :p

the "daemon defiler" as you put it. is called a SOULGRINDER

What a beast! That's going to take a lot of effort and time-management to complete. I particularly like the green stuff job on the mouth, gun barrel and claw!

Breath taking I love it man keep it up !! I cannot wait to see that monster painted that my friend is what gives Commissars Nightmares..

Love the converted claws.

*yoink*

Consider them stolen, sir.

Looks like guitar Wire from here.

Excellent Work!

I used various thicknesses of Guitar and Bass string. Not the most user friendly stuff. But with patience you can get it into the shape you're looking for. I use two small pliers to bend it little-by-little.

Funny, the Green Stuff in the Mouth and Cannon were spur of the moment after thoughts. I was doing something else and had some left over Green Stuff, and this guy was at my table just staring at me like it needed one last touchup.
I'm slow to begin with, but I spend that procrastinating time putting some thought into what I want to do, and gathering bits. So when I did finally get to it, it didn't take all that long to assemble. Maybe a week from beginning to end. The problem I have now is I want to do another one, but I want it to look different.

They're yours.

Once again, thanks everyone

Super cool that looks awesome .

Wow cool figur, it a great work you got yourself there - you don't have a step by step photoshoot of it. I'll really like to see each part of it in a close up, because it is really great
