Sweet!

Would you mind looking closely at the decimators and telling me if theres any actual daemonic fleshy bits on there? If its all mechanic i have a hankering for AdMechifying one.

Here are a few pics of what I have been up to over the last couple days:

I built 2 Decimators

Rock Em Sock Em Robots?

...or Raving Bonkers if you had the UK version.

There is no demon flesh whatsoever on the main body of this model. It is all bundles of cable and the odd skull mixed in.
The armor plates on the other hand would have to be modified in some way to look more ad-mech.
With a little GS or plasticard it would be quite easy to make this look very ad-mechy Sounds like a fun project!

Haha! oddly enough way too simmilar to those damn plastic head popping robots that entertained me in my youth

Raving Bonkers is by far a better name

Awesome, thanks logg!

No prob


Yesterday I trimmed up all the parts I needed to build the feet of my warhound, glued in the ankle connection and let it dry over night



Today I fired it all togeather having a little experience at this made it go quite quickly!

Daddy's got a new pair of shoes !





Tomorrow will be more trimming and hopefully on to hip # 1. The hip joints are critical to the balance of the whole model so they are well worth taking your time on!

Thanks for looking! at least all 3 of my regular watchers

Now thats a nice pair of legs!

Are you going for any specific chapter/god when the painting begins?

I am looking to follow the colour scheme of the Traitor Titan Legion *Fire Masters*





It fits well with my overall *Black Legion* Colour scheme and seems to match a lot of the work I have done in the past such as this:

God i know that feeling. I had the immense displeasure of having to break apart a disastrously unbalanced titan, and it was pretty much all in the hips.

Hopefully it wasn;t too bad to take apart >.<

I know thw glue I use pretty much welds resin togeather. I would never want the displeasure of disassembling one of the titans I've assembled lol

No, the superglue that had been used was already weakened by the stipping agent anyway. It also hadnt been pinned. There were many reasons why it had started to fall apart

I don't find that all of the joints need to be pinned but for most of the major ones it's a really good idea

That's a spicy meatball right there. Loving it, want more, show us a bit of leg darlin'!

Ask and ye shall receive!

I suprisingly got a lot of work done last night while waiting for my laundry to finish

Just hangin' out



IIIIIIIIts time for dancin!







I'm not sure I am in love with the stance but it's very stable and I am absolutely not taking it back apart

Let's see what I get accomplished tonight

More progress tonight but It's my bed time so I will have to wait until tomorrow to post up the pics I have uploaded >.<
Did I mention I hate getting up at 4am to go to work?

OoOooOo Right in the mommy daddy buttons...



Got a few more things done last night

I did a bunch of heavy trimming. Sawing through these blocks is some kinda fun I tell ya!



The bitz pile seems to be getting smaller all the time



I got the back top half fitting nicely and glued



Looking at this model I remeber now why I ended up buying it. There is just so much chaosy goodness everywhere





Trying the torso on for size (supported by the wall behind)



I have some pretty heavy fittign to do tonight but the pile is getting smaller !



I also forgot to post this up yesterday. Just a quick snap of my bitz box



Thanks for hanging out!

Getting there! Please tell me you're gonna paint the inside before gluing it? I know from experience its a mofo-ing pita to paint when its all glued.

I love that model, the detail is so awesome and its chaosy to the extreme. I think my favourite is the princeps tbh.

haha! Yes! Don;t worry!

As with my other warhound I will be leaving the top 1/2 modular until the interior is detailed



My other model just fits so tightly that the pieces stay togeather with no glue



Once I have them both assembled and primes I will be starting on the interior detail and then weathering the body's

AH good, amassing your own legion there!

Haha yes, but I sadly don't see a reaver titan or anything else larger in my future >.<

I would much rather have a Thunderhawk.

I promised myself once my army was painted I would buy myself one .... I guess I had better get painting!

Hahaha, fair enough lol. How about something smaller

If this kickstarter reaches 90k theres a sweet plastic chaos Knight stand-in available:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamforge-games/something-wicked-this-way-comes-crusader-plastic-m

Note to self: Ask Father Mechanicus to supply a company of Shadowswords to the Cadian 11th for Christmas.

...cause Chaos needs its knees whacked.

Spoiler:

If it hits 90k I may just pick up a few of those they look sweet! But I really would expect nothing less from dreamforge!

What's that?? You want to come over for an apocalypse game?

Work work work all night long, work work work while I sing this song....

I trimmed and fit up the upper body. I still have some sanding to do here on a few parts but it fit nice and tightly



Tightly enough in fact to give everyone a little preview of what this bad boy will look like





Here are a few shots with the head in place. I won;t be connecting it yet as I need to pin it and do not have my pin vice and pins with me at work





Unfortunately the ol' girl needs to stay at this level of assembly until I get some paint on her. Hopefully I can get to that this week when I get home



Heavy artillery anyone? (minus one Plasma weapon that is at home )



When I get home I have to Work on the arm connections
I have a pretty good plan to make them modular but I need to put some work in

It looks like somehow I have managed to forget to post up this picture from last weekend as well:



hrmm... I'm slackin'

5 days with no models to build.... blaaaaaaaarg!

Lovign everything. You need to do a full army shot at this apoc game!

And no models The only cure is to buy more i guess.

Also, sorry to be a pain, but do you reckon you could measure how high a decimator is?

Haha! I have many mor emodels to build I just have none for the moment with me while I am stuck at work

I will take a ruler back to my room with me tonight and do a scale shot for you.

They stand about an inch taller than a dreadnaught

haha yes! I am long overdue for an army shot!.... I just haven't done it because I'm embarrased about the lack of paint on my army

Yay thanks.

I do happen to know of a cure for lack of paint embarassment, its called 'paint your damn models you lazy bugger!'

Ahhahahah!

I really do need to stop buying more models and paint what I have

I'm pretty sure my Traitor guard will be painted before a full squad of CSM >.< lol
