great work.

You know, for anyone who played Oblivion, the Black Hand was the symbol of the Dark Brotherhood (a badass band of cutthroats and assassins).

SQUEEE!

Wow they're great. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the positives guys

Not sure how I missed this, but they are looking very cool. I agree that the usual green nurgle theme is a bit... mneh. The white is an interesting alternative.

No problem, it is very missable

And thanks

Ok, I have been shamed into doing some work on this army again.

Thought I would start work on one of the units that I will need (assuming that my army list remains more or less the same) for the UK Dakka meet.

Meet a very WIP "War":






Needs green-stuffing up, and extra gubbins sticking on. I would really like comments on anything that will make it better, as at this stage I just have really weak glue bonds on everything so it will be quite easy to take apart and rebuild.

I was planning on adding a set of hand/claws to the wing tips. the GS skin will be a kind of techno/nurgle, but with khornate touches (to fit in with my nurgle army, but also give me scope to call this chap "war" ).

Wow those models look really cool

hands on his wings? never seen that before, so it might be pretty cool

love the hammer. Maybe, as an idea, to link him into nurgle, is give hims antlers? or a hood. Like the warhammer nurgle champion, as im sure it would make him look very impressive(er)

Thanks for the comments guys

The hands are rending claws from one of the larger tyranid creatures, and they look OK, though I may change them later if it continues not to grab me totally

I spent a happy hour drilling the hell out of his wings to make them look torn and tattered, and then spent not such a happy hour trying to get very thin bits of GS to stick to the paint that covered the wings so that I could get some nurgley-ness started.

I've filled in most of the gaps with GS now, and have done a little detailing (though it is nowhere near done). Need to find some plasticard to progress with some armour though, as when I tried with GS, it kinda failed

I will add some pictures when I get back home tonight.

Ok, so I forgot that I was going to the in-laws so I was not able to take any pictures, but I am now the proud owner of a set of colour shapers, so my GS'ing should be much easier and precise from now on, which is good.

Ok, finally taken some pictures.

Almost finished GSing the wings to make them more decayed.

Added the first bit of armour - a shoulder pad (because you can't have a model in 40K without a huge bit of metal on their shoulder )

Any C&C welcome.

It looks great so far. However, every time I see your walkers all I can think is "METAL GEAR!?"

This looks awesome. I was half expecting him to be leaning on the raised leg. Also, I'm not as much a fan of his right hand. It's the same as the wing hands, right? but the hammer hand is something else. Just my opinion, the model on whole looks incredible.

Awesome .Black hand sounds like from oblvion

Thanks for the comments all

@ Zhetsuken - I've only played the first metal gear, and that was a long time ago. I'm glad you think my stuff looks kind of like some of the designs from such a well executed game

@ The Good Green - Yeah, I am not sure about the hand either. It is a Tyranid warrior hand, as are the ones on the wings (so you are correct ), the one on the left is an ogre hand. I may eventually swap the right hand for another ogre hand, as you are correct that it looks a bit off.

And thanks for the positive comments.

@ LEEQAEX - the name was a combination of things, Oblivion was one of them, though I was also thinking of doing a card/gambling themed chaos army at one point, so the name also comes from there.

Although the fluff is also that there are 4 deamon princes and a chaos lord in charge of the chapter, the fingers and thumb of the black, necrotic hand of PAPA NURGLE!

Ok, had a rather massive painting session (for me anyway ) this evening and have almost completely "finished" painting my new daemon prince. I hope you enjoy, any C&C is much appreciated, but I think it looks rather good - though obviously there are a few more bits and bobs which need doing.

For your viewing horror:

Just found this and did a quick read through and the power fist looks better. Also what did you use for a head on War?

ChaoticMind wrote:Just found this and did a quick read through and the power fist looks better. Also what did you use for a head on War?

The head is (I think) a WoC banner pole top with some slight modification (I seem to remember chopping some bits off it anyway )

Thanks may snag the idea.

I don't usually like nurgle stuff but that looks good.

Thanks, Geemoney

Looks great. I've seen that DP on another site, I think someone was showing it off. Not as their work,iirc

Do you know what site it was you saw it on?

Be interested to know what was being said

Forgot,exactly. I think I was doing a google search for Daemon prince or something...Lemme see if I can find it.

Thats perdy....

I love the hands on the wings, it really works, and makes him look really menacing. Additionally, i love how he seems to be leaning on his leg. Truly an inspiring miniature. Feel proud!

Gonna take a guess and say that the inspiration for the walkers was the GEKKO from MGS4?

Looking nice.

Lovin' the Daemon Princes. War is a total BADA**!

Nope, only ever played MGS1

But thank you all for your comments

I thought I'd show off some WIP shots of something big I've just started working on. It can count for a couple of things, Daemon Prince (although a very huge one, it is about 1 inch bigger than War, who is pretty huge), A defiler (bit of a stretch), or what I intend to use it for; a summon greater daemon!

There is currently no green stuffing (which there will be plenty of, much of the machinery will be covered by a layer of decaying flesh). It is designed to look kind of like a giant Terminator Armoured daemon
