Oh, I built the Magos a lill' gun too..

Where is that backpack from?

The backpack is from the Skaven special character Ikit Claw.

Here's a WIP of mine, info in the original thread.

Wow, I feel honoured, thank you!
I considered using a power armour body, but felt that it was a bit too bulky for my liking... but yours has made me rethink that. It's looking great. I take it all the greenstuff on the legs is to bulk them out a bit to fit the torso? Where did the book come from btw?

Thanks, that's kind of the pose I was aiming for... so I'm glad it worked! The staff is from the power armoured grey knights box

Is it too late to enter this? Or is there no more room/ I've taken too long to get round to it...

Thanks. The book is from the Grey Knight terminator kit - a treasure trove for Inquisitoral flavor. The GS is there to bulk him up a little, but mostly just to provide a smooth and strong bond to the torso.

@migsula - I like the way you've added the GK termie hood, what SM torso is that?

The front is from one of the Blood Angels kits; Sanguinary guard I think. I can't wait to see an update on Migsula's

Speaking of updates, mine is ready for an undercoat when the glue dries a bit more.

Thanks endtransmission, and very nice update

There's some very nice stuff going on in here - I will definitely have to consider stealing some ideas from here...

@Endtransmission: Wow, my favorite inquisitor of the competition so far. Only point I don't like is the ribbon around his staff, it looks too stiff and isn't very credible if you ask me.

Oh and a bigger picture would be nice before you basecoat him.

Thank you! Here's a larger version of the first view


I quite like the ribbon. Granted, it's very anime in style with the angular flow of it, but hey

yeah,
I've updated the first post, and we are up to 60 contenders!
Everything so far is awesome and we are only half way through... which also means only 1 month to go so I think we'll see things start to pick up pace.

Ok So I found time today to get proper started on my Entry! Huzzzzzah!
She's a counts as 'Decapitator' for my Female only Dark Eldar Army
Her Back story will be that of a powerful Haemonculus who got bored of 'standard' upgrades and started down the path of grafting weirder creature parts to herself.
But after she successfully attached a mandrakes arm her life was changed, as the arm began to take over she got sucked into the secret world of the mandrakes...

I've got plenty to fix. But I dare not do more today as alot of the greenstuff is pretty soft.






The left hand will have mandrake type flames modeled on to re-enforce mandrake theme.
I'm not totally sold on her head, but the flowing hair may make more sense once the flames are done.

I've played around with adding the original right arm just to get it into the conversion, but I'm pretty happy with her right hand side as is.

Just very excited to finally be in the competition!

Panic...

Great conversion Panic! When's the deadline again? (ADIT: in a month, cool!) I feel the contest needs some deadlines soon to get everyone active and into painting things

Can't wait.

Hmm, Panic, seeing yours is making me rethink mine. I DO need a Haemonculus for my DE, And im avoiding Finecast models till they iron all the bugs out (literally, the first time i ever saw even a box of finecast models in person was today)

I honestly did not think of making a DE model out of one of these guys.

mind if i yoink your idea and change paths with my entry? (i dont even have the sorcerer yet XD)

Wow, endtransmission, you Inq. is outstanding!! I love that head, it's been sitting on my desk for a few months by now but couldn't manage to know what to do with it...

It would've been better than my servo skull face, I'm afraid...

Panic, I love your DE... Haemon-thing... Where does the right arm come from? It might be useful for chaos-corrrupted apothecaries mmmmmh...

After Baiyuan's comment I took a longer, careful look at the long ribbon/scroll on the staff and he's right. It looks out of place with the rest of the model... so it's gone.

Painting has started and he's looking rather nice. Does this make me the first person in either competition to actually start painting?

I have started painting to

@Yggs: I like the skull face too, both look good. The right arm is a vestigial arm from the talos box, I have a couple of those too.

@ Baiyuan : thx, I knew I had to buy one Talos kit

yeah,
that right arm is from a talos.
the talos kit is very amazing... I think the main bits of mine are destined for nurgleBlightDroneHood.
But there is sooo much spine/arms/vessels/stuff in there!

I think Santobell was first to show paint with the Tau chick!
she look pretty much done! right?

But yes More Paint!!!

Panic..

of course... duh! How could I forget the Tau pilot?!

I happen to now have the undercoat spray required. I can continue with progress!

UPDATE:

I still haven't gotten my wizard yet, but I might have an idea of what to do, provided I can split the talos kit with Yggs
But seriously, I'm thinking that I need a haemonculus, maybe even with a liquifier gun!

Will post a pic tomorrow...promise

Almost done with the modelling!

Starting to agonise about the paintjob.. dear butterfly-effect!..


Pictures for you. of dooooom!

Very cool, with one little exception, the staff doesn't do the rest of the great looking miniature any justice. Imho it looks just like what it actually is, a chaos sorcerers staff with a cog tacked on. No offense mate, but the rest of your conversion is too good for such simplicity if you ask me.

Yeah.. how did I miss that? .. must be the modelling speed-blindness..
Thanks for pointing it out, I want critique, that's why I post here after all.. I'll look into that staff.

Wow, i go away for a week and come back to this!

Cant possibly comment on them all so i'll just say this:

@STC_LogicEngine : agreed, such a fabulous model deserves a better staff top!

Eventually tried to improve the skull face, despite common sense. I think this will be the last touch up before painting (other than the base, of course) :



[edit : I'm really amazed at the creativity of people, and at how far they burrow into unexpected bits to turn a base model into that many creations! That's really epic! And so many good ideas for future inspirations! So thanks guys!]

I quite liked the skull face as was - I don't think not being satisfied with something is going to work with covering some of it, or? It's going to be a lovely model, I am sure, just more as a comment to consider as you yourself may not be pleased with the end result. It has happened to me a few times, and ripping the head/arm/legg of completely was always the best cure, rather than modifying.
