Yeah, it's a servo skull, but I'm probably adding a bottom jaw to it. I really wish I had gotten some bits orders in, but most of the desirable bits are out of stock, so I've gotta keep my fingers crossed I can get some good deals on eBay and get them shipped to me quickly. I should be able to get the head completed and do a little greenstuff work in the mean time, and maybe get the base done as well.

Great stuff so far, and its only been a few hours!!

Unfortunately my wizard didnt come (stoopid GW!) and im off to Portugal for 2 weeks in a week, which coupled with the fact im mooving house atm, means i wont be able to do any converting till August So i'll have to content myself with all your awesome work!

Btw, anyone know any good sites online to buy small LEDs and elctrical supplies?

No worries mates, I think everybody is going to be on vacation at some point of the contest. I will, it's just that time of the year.

About the pose: She will not be holding it by the reins, understandable missinterpretation though. Hope is not the kind of puppy one can hold by a leash. I had the perfect arm for that, from a hellion pilot holding to his board by a chqin. So try again, what else could she be doing? Hint: her hand doesn't grab...

I was just browsing the net for smaller left handed power fists (PLEASE tell me if you know any except the one from the elysian seargent), when I came across this picture. Serioulsy, I had no idea the space marines of the "feth off" chapter used the same weapons as their primarch, the Undertaker. Great news, I won't be taking any further part in this contest, I'm off to build my army of feth off marines with double handed power chairs!!!

double handed power chairs!!!

Cadaver - If you really want to know what that hockey puck is..... click on the pic and read the comments. Just to reassure you it is delicious but sounds revolting (Scarper described it best lmao).

Nice start on the model.


Baiyuan - It's a good job that you're after a left handed power first... I've found the old metal terminator storm shield hand works a treat. It is still big on a human but that is how I imagine power fists to be.

I have plenty of those actually, but to be more precise I do not just need a small left power fist, I also want a rather delicate design, and more importantly it needs to be opened, not clenched.

Without reading the comments on the pics, may I guess it's black pudding? Some british friends who lived in Germany kept complaining about the terrible german breakfast, while the whole world knows it's actually the br...

How about the old plastic Eldar powerfist? It's smaller and open fingered. Maybe a little too Eldarish?

Do you have a picture?

Not a good one, I managed to find this although I think I may have a couple of them in bits boxes at home.http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?site=images&source=mog&hl=en&gl=uk&client=safari&q=eldar%20powerfist&sa=N#i=2

Seems like a viable option, unfortunately there are none on ebay.

Baiyuan i am pretty sure i have that power fist mate
third down on the right will check the carpet monster hasnt eaten it for ay if you like

I checked my boxes but no joy :( why is it you see something so often when you don't want it but when you do it gets lost in the void?!
Sorry mate. Fingers crossed for you.

so heres my 1st update , managed to get some blutack work done today , i tried out a few styles but think i have setteld on my orginal plan.



1st try out







the legs of the deamonetet work very well with her as do most of the heads imo. i really like this pose but felt she was not the succubus i had immagined , so she is scrapped , unless i get another mini

i then tried making the one i really wanted



ended up with this for now . tried swapping out different staffs , but the origan looked too small , now she is higher.






So lots of work to do on getting the deldar arms smaller ,sculpting the hair/snakes and a new right arm , fortunately the staff has a hand
over all iam happy with this pose over my new idea, as i think she is more feminine this way .but i do miss that face mask thing .see ya later guys

Ahhh, should have guessed it was a blood sausage.

Not so fast! Probably enough here to last a lifetime.

@neil101 - Loving the model so far! Only complaint really is that's not my favorite daemonette head, but that's totally personal preference!

Rabies thanks for trying!

Cadaver thanks for your Search-Fu, could be a bit too much though. I'll think about it, I had an eye at a couple of those weapons anyway... hhm.

Neil I'll send you a pm should I decide not to buy that pack of bits and that I really need it anyway. I'll go through my catalogues first, maybe I haven't thought of something.
About your conversion looks like you're almost done. I amazes me again and again how quickly you work. The pose is great, the base is great and once your done with the fine tuning it will be GD worthy. Cadaver is right though, the head sucks... the bad way.

Got to be quick...Abi has given me my orders and they do not involve dakka.

Neil - Nice to see some of us have made some headway.

I just couldn't start this project until I'd finished modelling my scavvy shaman. Since he is done I can get started on my mystery model

@Neil101 - Nice work, thats some serious chop and splice work that you have done there. Goof luck!!

Neil, I'm amazed!

Neil, that is unreal. Fantastic work! The daemonette legs were a masterstroke - would not have thought of that in a million years. Awesome!

Cadaver, I love how yours is changing too, I've got a great image in my head of how she may end up. This is so exciting!

As a kind of counterpoint to Neil's, here's my staggering achievements so far. Likely to be more confusing than enlightening, but there you go

I've had a busy evening!

Guess I haven't changed a lot from the original model but I really like the base model so there you go. Starting to reveal a lot of him I guess but maybe not who he actually is yet...

Thanks, it's still very early as I mentioned, but I have a pretty clear vision for the model. Just paid out the ass for Talos vestigial arms on eBay, but hey, I need them quick and can't wait around for a good deal. I expect major progress once those arrive.

I'm interested to see where you go with yours. I'm liking the amount of sculpting you seem to have planned.

No worries Jack, the fact that you only change things on the surface isn't half bad. I said it some time ago, the necromancer doesn't allow for as substantial alterations as the others imo, but when you're changes seem superficial, yet change the appearance fundamentally, that can be one of the most impressive conversions. (See Peter's Ikit Claw Magos)

Scarper- I'm very confused....have you sculpted your figure from scratch?.....or is that funny lighting making it all look green? I rather like the pistol and shotgun base

Cadaver - Mmmmm blood sausage. I like the servo skull face and the choice of hair is spot on.

neil101 - What have you used for the base sides? She looks good and the daemonette head you have used is fine, she aint pretty but that should really be the point.

jackanory - I like the random odds and ends hanging off the staff. I'm really looking forward the changes you're going to be making to the face. Are you planning on changing the hand holding the skull?

Baiyuan- Cheers...but lets not talk about Magos Spur...he needs hazard stripes

Peter

@Jackanory - is that an oxygen tank taped to the bottom of his staff? That's ace! Love all the dangling gubbins too - looking forward to seeing how you change up the left arm

@Cadaver - Thanks! I think I might be being a little over-ambitious, but I'll just have to see how it goes.

@PDH - Most of it is probably just the lighting. The spiky bit on the right is the necromancer's collar (to be borrowed by Animal), and the body in the centre is the necromancer himself, he's just lying on his front to confuse any would-be attackers Most of the rest is GS and grey stuff, though at a (very!) early stage. Hopefully it'll all become clearer as I go on. Glad you like where the weapons are headed though!

@ csarper , itoo trhought you had sculpted your model from green stuff , lol the guns look kewl! loving the tommy gun style one. and that collar is rather nice too.

@Jackanory nice to see your progress too matey , his staff now reminds me of a dream catcher , its very charming and trinkity ( is that a word ) is see you have made a oxygen bottle at the base of the staff . now that is fething wicked , and i can see the tube go to his nose , sucha cool idea , well done matey

@everyone , cheers guys , i have tried out a head swap and she looks pretty hot now :-) but it has its own issues though , will post a pic later for comparrsions, also used the smaller staff and got rid of one of her arms , she looks more feminie but a lot less demonic, :-/?

@ PDH i use the bastion kit las cannon sponson, and chopped of the stabelisers
not mine btw

Always good to see the Necros progress!

And neil....yowza. The sheer amount of chopping and changing in such sort time is insane! Makes me feel guilty in the other thread that mine's somewhat minimalist!

Well i am a big fan of minimilism

You say that when at the moment yours is by far the most chopped up and changed one I've seen

Scarper's intrigues me though.

re. The oxygen tank. This guy's really not been looking after himself these last few years. He's got more important things on his mind!

@Peter: The left hand is possibly going to be the most important part of this model. I spent ages trying to work on it last night but it just wouldn't click for some reason!

@Scarper: I'm intrigued by yours. Seems like he's going to have a lot of kit! Some nice scratchbuilt guns there.

It's probably going to be a while before I make any more progress with my wizard. There's a Malifaux escalation league at the FLGS so I need to paint my crew before I can do anything substantial to anything else! :(
Oh, and another thing. I recommend heading over to Panic's wizard thread if you haven't already. There's some cool stuff going down there.

@neil: Superb mate, great feel to that model, just an epic pose. I love the bastion kits as well, so many great bits on the "accessory" frame.

@Scarper: Interesting, how do you get such clean angles on your sculpting!

@Jack: Hmmm, very interesting. Love the "fetish" pole, and very interested to see where you go from here! O2 tank is cool too

On a side note, my wizard arrived, and you guys weren't lying she is a frail little thing, definitely workable though! I just have to fight off the urge to open it and start ripping things apart before i go on holiday!

@ Jackanory, neil101, and Cadaver: Great starts gentlemen. The skull-face on a female body always works wonders. The staff of the ex-necromancer looks promising already, and the daemonette-conversion using the DE-sorcerer looks great already!

For my own project(s) I have the time against me for the next few weeks but I will follow the progress for all the projects in here until I can get into business myself.
