Okay, progress!

First here is the second KOS:

I've completely bulked him out in sculpey as much as needed to. I'll be switching gray-tinted Aves Fixit Sculpt next. The claws you see on the model were originally intended for the Daemon Princess models, and are just place holders. They far to small compared to my reference image, and will be replaced later. The feet are from the WF Giant model and are also to small, so I'll be re-sculpting on those too.







Here's the model scaled against an IG model.



Here's the model scaled against the FW KOS model.






Here is where I am on the first Soul Grinder:



Here it is scaled against the FW KOS.




And here is my Progress with the pregnant Soul Grinder:

She's been fun to sculpt, working out the anatomy so that the chest and arms could actually work resulted in two sets of pectoral muscles, which ofcourse justifies a second set of breasts, no?







Here the model is scaled against a IG model:




Here the model is scaled against a the 6.5 inch tall FW KOS model:



Sorry, its a bit blurry.



Finally, because a few people asked here's some scaling shots of the Daemon Princesses and a group shot of the larger models in the army.


Daemon Princesses first. Note that the FW KOS is 6.5 inches tall, while the IG model is 1 inch tall.







Group Shots

Found this thread the other day, went through every page. i simply LOVE it.(its why i created an account). I was annoyed that they removed the old metal daemonette models, and its great to see the spirit of those back even in the monstrous creatures. It looks... gorgous. And inspirational.

I agree with Bascilica, games-workshop usually do some nice miniatures... and some not so nice ones... but one of their biggest blunders in my opinion was making the new plastic daemonettes look like the older [3rd gen?] ones. The metal ones from last edition, released with Hordes of Chaos for WH Fantasy were some of the best metal miniatures they had done for a while. Not only did their appearance fit the rules and fluff, in my opinion, they also looked better.

If i was an empire soldier or imperiall guardsmen, i would be more distracted (i.e. their rules) by the older models than the new plastic ones.

Still. Bloody good work Sersi! Keep it up, hope you do more brilliant work in the future!

So. Awesome. Please finish your army, you're 9/10ths of the way into convincing me to join Chaos!

Bascilica:

Welcome to Dakka! Thanks for the enthusiastic post. I think we all miss the Diaz-nettes. But having said that they were fairly static, and hard to convert. I don't get it personally, the Dark Elves line was just redone, and their Harpies still have hanging breasts (note to self by a few sets before they evaporate as well). They have no reason to be wearing clothing, other than revealing lingerie...which in my opion is more naked that naked.... The corset thing is rather daft, yeah I get this like a painful thing to wear, but is not emphasized enough if that's what their going for.

DreadAssassin:

Thanks! Its seems GW is dead set on reliving its "glorious" past.

Warboss Gutrip

Come on now, only 9/10th the way to Chaos? Have I mention that Chaos has pie? Oh, and this...








Here's another comparison with the FW KOS. It should be easier to see now that he's more of a neutral gray.








So, I worked on the big boy some more last night. With his hunched over pose he's approximately 14.5 cm tall, if he were standing erect he'd be around 20 cm. At this point I've skinned him with Aves Fixit Sculpt, so he's rock solid. I've enlarged the feet and replaced the claws with a far larger set; to better match the reference. Hopefully they look alright, if not let me know. He's also had his horns blocked in and his head started.

That is so AWESOME!!! Dude my passion for Chaos was revieved when i saw your creations! Death to the false emperor!

what is that big guy (fw kos) meant to be, you know, the one with the claws standing next to the keeper of secrets in the pic above?

to walker90234
the ForgeWorld Keaper of Secrets is Daemon Lord Zarakynel from Imperial Armour Apocalypse (2008)
Its a very ncie model, and im interested in how Sersi will take on the task of a different KOS

so its another keeper of secrets?

The Chaos pie was delicious. My soul is sold to Slaanesh. I will begin my Daemon army as soon is I finish re-painting my Orks in Slaaneshi colours.

I think i could go for some Slanneshi pie, considering my chaos force is largely undivided

LiveforFun666:

May the Prince of Pleasure smile upon you!

walker90234:

Yep its a Keeper of Secrets based on a 4th Edition Fantasy rulebook design.

Bascilica:

Right on the first guess.

Warboss Gutrip

Is pie ever not delicious?

DreadAssassin:

Ah...another willing victim...er...convert to Slaanesh.




Okay the new stuffs!




















Here's another Daemon Princess Head, with a re-sculpted face and smaller chin.





I also started casting 60mm bases for the Gluttons, it only costs me pennies to do vs the $10 for 1 from GW. Shocking!





Here's a Picture of all the molds I've made for this army. That's about $200 worth of silicon rubber.





Lastly, here's a pic of my current display case.






More later!

Jebus! If you painted all that that would be the funnest game of themed apoc ever. Everything your doing looks fantastic keep up the good work.

Jebus boy, your pumpin em out bigtime! Well odne my friend, now if I could only jump on the production bandwagon and get my damn DOOM army done... where's firy gorgons!!! (sorry, had to ask)

Oh and geez, how many points is that total or with the grinders, gotta be upwards of 3-4000...

Well with the Chariots, I've well over 6,000 pts with everything! I also want to do at least 1500 pts of truescale Emperor's Children.

What happened to true scale templars? is that going to become emporers children?

I'm going to have to dig through this thread as I consider moving into sculpting for my WoC. Some really fantastic sculpts with all the WIP shots one could want. Keep up the great work.

I would love to buy some of those models, if you want to make a few moulds *hint hint*

One tiny niggling worry about the Soul Grinders. Where are the guns? I have to admit without reading the blog I'd find it hard to work out which are Soul Grinders and which is the Keeper of Secrets. The Daemon Princesses work beautifully at this as a triplet of similiar designs they are obviously the same role. However the Soul Grinders lack this.

littleboyblues:

Funny you should mention that as a friend and I have been considering building a "Great Game" themed table or a Daemon world table.

gameandwatch:

Nah...I'll be doing both, but I'm still sculpting the basic marines to cast. The Crusade I've been planning will be taking allied Daemonhunter Inquisitor as a counts as "Ecclesiastic Confessor" and storm troopers as fodder. The Templars are going to have Gothic MK8 armor just like the current Emperor's Champion and the Jump Pack Chaplain. The Terminators will have armor similar to the Grey Knight Terminators. I'm still working on the designs of the: Neophytes, Confessor, and Stormtroopers. I'll definitely be a while on this one

For the Emperors Children, Tortoise's EC on Warseer along with Liber Chaotica have really inspired me to build a basic marine body and go heavy on the Noise marine iconography. I'll probably do ten basic bodies and cast as needed. I'll still use GW bits for the weapons and heads ETC.

grey_death:

Thanks. I'd be happy to help out with any sculpting questions you might have. I know I'll definitely be combing your site for tips, when I start painting. I just hope I can do it justice. At the very least I'll be getting lots of practice.

deadly chicken:

Oh I'm molding all the models Ive sculpted. Although the epoxy putty I use to sculpt them is ridiculously strong, solid resin is pretty much invulnerable. I want to sell copies of them as well as soon as I can figure out a good way to go about doing it.

Llamahead:

Sorry, I haven't been very clear on the what the models represent. The two larger "4-armed" models will be used as HQ's. The FW KOS will just be used as a KOS; while the scratch-built one will either be used as a KOS or as a "counts as" Skarbrand.

For the Soul Grinders their as two types. The Pregnant one and the 6-legged one. For the Pregnant one the maw cannon will be mounted in the belly, and the harvester is represented by her single eye. For the 6-legged one, the maw cannon will be represented by the screaming mouth, and the harvester by her up raised hands. Although, I've considered incorporating some Eldar heavy weapon designs into the sculpt instead. Maybe a fused gun/claw arm similar to the official model.

Magnifiscent! Slaanesh would be proud.

Hi All! This is going to be a post. I've gotten allot done ins the last few days but haven't had time to get the pics organized and posted.




FW KOS:

Here I've replaced all of the GS putty studs on the leggings and arm with ball bearings and chromed glass beads. I still have to make a new symbol for her staff and need to re-attach the whip otherwise she's done.





Close up of the leg. Note also the bead work on the loin cloth, and the metal nipple ring.



Close up of the arm. Note also the bead on the forehead and the bead on her pierced tongue.




Daemon Princesses:


Lots of detailing work done here, especially fixing the faces.

Princess # 1





Here is the detailed bead work I did on torso, and arm. Also notice that the head has been swapped.




Princess # 2





Here is the detailed bead work I did on her arms and legs. Also notice that the head has been swapped their all fully interchangeable all four poses and all five heads.




Princess # 3





Here's a close up of here enlarged chin. As several people pointed out that she looked chinless.




Head Swaps:

These are just to show how effected the heads are when sapped out.
















Automatically Appended Next Post:
Scratch built Keeper of Secrets:

I should have this guy all massed out today. I've left the hand and arms undeveloped at the wrists and fingers as I've not finalized the pose yet. I'm also trying to keep him generic looking to avoid IP issues if I decided to sell him. He'll probably have hand that can e swapped out, and possibly a head swap as well.

These are from two days ago:





As of last night:









Oh and a scale shot with a true-scaled marine....








Pregnant Soulgrinder:

She's coming along nicely....

Two days ago....





As of last night...





A few close ups of the er...anatomy.



And finally the current head WIP. I'm trying something a bit different here by starting with the skull and building upto the moaning head.

I really like the last head swap. And the one that was chinless might look better without the long tounge.

The eye sockets on the skull are too high, if you look at a human skull you'll notice they are a lot lower than you may have assumed.

It doesn't matter that much, but the proportions of her head are going to come out looking a bit neanderthal; her jaw is very large and wide and her forehead is very reduced.

The KoS-counts as soulgrinder is amazing though, great sculpt. I really like seeing all of these come together.

Admittedly, my first thought on seeing your scratch sculpted KoS was 'nice arse'.

Then again, for a Slaaneshii army, that's probably not a bad thing...




Oh, and I like the long extended tongue on the princess.

I am having trouble seeing many of the new pics, anyone else having this problem?

Your figure was looking good "After last night". It must have been quite a nite ;D.

brilliant. plaz leep the thread open and show us them when you have them painted. i love the crouching princess, nicknamed "longtounge" by me (harhar, you can never get rid of a name like that) i wouldn't change her head. i want to see some gorgon pics as well, what page are they on? this work is brill.

Man your work is brilliant! I can't wait to see your finished army, especially the (disgusting) soul-pregger... or is it preg-grinder?

Awesome stuff

MOREE PICS SERSI, THER HASNT BEEN ANY THING 4 DAYS
