You might have a tougher time if you need a specific length or want the tentacle wrapped around something. These I just roll out a bunch of random sizes and length, and then select the ones I want and trim if necessary. Hope that helps!

Just a little update, got the fly guy finished and started working on this guy.



Anybody know who he is supposed to be?

Ahh Spaghetti monster god! - Pastafarianism is a real religion.

http://www.venganza.org/

This army is going to be Legend.....wait for it....I hope you aren't lactose intolerent.....dairy!

lol love it! chaos spawn definitly give you a lot of opportunity for creativity!

I'm just glad they are better looking than the RT/2nd edition models lol

*subscribed*

P.S. Dr. Pepper is the nectar of the gods :_)

This is really progressing quickly! The green stuff work is making the models look incredible!

Pasta for the pasta god!

Ok, a friday update! Not sure if you can tell, but I got a few more tentacles on the FSM, and I'm considering them all done for now. I guess that puts me up to 10 that I've finished modeling now, so only 29 more to go and then it's paint time!











If it rains tomorrow, I will probably have more updates for you. If it doesn't, I'll probably be doing yardwork instead. So pray to the pasta god for rain!

So I got in my special orders today, and finished up another spawn! I decided that the worst unit in the game deserved to be represented by the worst MODEL, just for giggles.

So here is GW's version of the pumbagor that we all know and love/hate.



And here is what I did with it to mutate it into spawny goodness!







This is a pretty big piece of metal, and very fiddly to put together. Very happy to be done with him.

Well that is all for now, let me know what you think!

I love this concept army hahhah, prob wont win you any games! but it is a GREAT army!

are you going to paint each spawn different colors?
and what willl you be using as marines?

Thanks man! Yeah not worried so much about winning games, but I figure it's a win for the spawn if I can manage a draw, lol.

Not sure on the colors yet, just focusing on the assembly for right now. Probable use a bunch of different colors though.

As far as the marines go, they are all going to be modeled with grabba sticks and whips, the better to drive the spawn forwards to devour the enemy!

I love it! haha. great stuff, you should post up some battle reps if you ever get the time, mostly for fun sake haha.

wow!! you are really banging these out fast! I'm loving this!

You should bring this army over to the H-Land sometime. I bet Klobber Noggin, High Marshal Z and I (Skofe) would love to see this madness in action

Thanks dude, they are going much faster and better than I was expecting.

Oh I will be! Armies this awesome can't remain in obscurity!

InquisitorRoeth wrote:You should bring this army over to the H-Land sometime. I bet Klobber Noggin, High Marshal Z and I (Skofe) would love to see this madness in action

Yep, when I am finished it'll be making the rounds. All of Ohio will temble before the shambling spawn!

I managed to get one more spawn finished, remember this oldie but goodie, Scyla Anfingrimm? I always like the model, so I decided to stick him in here since he already IS a spawn, lol!







I didn't convert him very much, but I did remove his collar of khorne. I also gave him a few extra eyeballs on his neck and on his tail. The better to see you with my dear!

This army is great and to be honest won't be that bad in game terms with that much randomness somethings bound to go right......surely......maybe.......uh getting Blood Bowl flashbacks.....possibly not. Seriously that many monstrous creatures will actually be fairly tough to deal with for many armies.

Very cool stuff megadave. You should take a nice group shot so we can get an idea what your enemies will be looking at.

As you command, Megatron. [/soundwave]



Most of them don't have bases yet because I am going to custom make all of them as well. Both the FSM and the razorgor both needed them to keep them from breaking, so that's the only reason they have theirs currently. But I think they are making a rather ugly-looking group!

Now that group shot really puts everything into perspective... Great job Dave. Looking forward to seeing paint touch these guys, you've created some great painting opportunities with these.

wow. great army. looking forward to the rest of the army

do you think you will have any with a semblance of space marine armor left on them?

AWESOME!!! Really fun project

have you thought of making an ad mech type spawn, maybe a bioniced warrior who got spawned up! it would be an interesting different model for the army

also a flying squd, just becasue

Thanks water! I hadn't thought of it, but I do have need of about eight more ideas, so it's definitely going into the pile of suggestions!

Thanks, it's been one the most fun projects I've done, so that in itself is a blessing.

Sageheart wrote:have you thought of making an ad mech type spawn, maybe a bioniced warrior who got spawned up!

Into the idea pile with you! Could be very neat though, lots of random mechanical bits bursting through lumps of flesh... I like it! Also, flying spawn squid FTW.

Yeah they can kill everything except for land raiders, monoliths, dreadnoughts & stormravens. So I'm thinking about dropping a flamer to give the sorcerer meltabombs, lol!

It really does look pretty impressive all laid out like that, so many random tentacles and stabby bitz! I think the painting will be fun to do as well, I just need to figure out what direction I want to take them in first.

Ok, one last update for the night. Didn't really feel like busting out the greenstuff, so I got this guy started instead.





He's got the khorne berserker spawn head, long with a rat ogre body & arms. The hands are from a regular ogre & the LOTR troll, while the claw is from the carnifex kit. His giant protruding spine is the trygon rattle tail trimmed down a bit. I figured even in spawndom, no servent of khorne would let go of their killy weapons!

The FSM spawn makes me so happy! Pasta for the Pasta God, indeed!

hahahaaha happy my ideas were well liked.

I don't see how anyone can not like a flying squid. It reminds me of that awful movie, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. The only worthwhile part to watch is the small 10 second scene where a giant awful cgi shark, jumps out of the water up into the clouds, and eats a flying airplane...

haha sorry dunno why that came to mind haha

That movie sounds terrible!

I think I can make the squid thing out of the two trygon head carapace pieces that I have left, and just make a bunch more tentacles to have wiggling all around him. Any idea for good bitz to use as the tail?

Ok, so one got one more spawn started before the monday night group meets. This guy has a few troll bits, the other rat ogre body, and the toxin tail from the trygon kit.



Yes, that is the puke bit from the troll you see there. Yes, it is somewhat juvenile.



It is also somewhat hilarious, although I doubt the spawn thinks so!



Well that is it for today, we'll see if I have time to mix up some more greenstuff tomorrow.

Ok, so it's been a week and I've been busy, but not with modeling! :( Mostly been out working in the yard, working late at the job, and getting some games in.

Anyhoo, got this guy finished up today.





I'm working on a few more spawn right now, but I'm not sure if they'll be finished or not by bedtime. I'll be sure to post them if they are though!

The new guy looks like he might break his poor legs! (Such is the life of spawns, they arent suppose to make sense biologically and then they implode on themselves!) Everything is looking wonderfully chaotic!

These are awesome, if I ever make spwan for my Black Legion army I'll have to use this thread for inspiration.

I guess fun is the key word here.

Nice work even if a bit conflicting internally but hey I think that really might work

Lol, yeah I imagine that he falls down a lot! He'll be in the unit that constantly rolls snake eyes for movement.

Very cool, you'll have to let me know if you ever get around to it.

blambi wrote:I guess fun is the key word here.

Fun is indeed the key word.

Allright, managed to get this spawn finished up as well.





I always like them so much better when they are done, filling in the gaps really makes it look like an actual creature/nightmare/fleshy blob thing instead of a bunch of random parts.

Loving the log Dave, very cool to see GS pull these random critters together On the newest guy, what's that club arm from? Troll of some kind (LoTR maybe)?

Totally dig puke-butt too

/quote]

Two Trygon heads sounds like a great way to try out a squid, i envision it as the tentacles making the tail, like they are all wrapped around each other and just zipping behind the creature as if it was just flying at the enemy. Or I thought maybe have it more hovering, and then you could have the tentacles hovering and wrapping around a poor guardsman looking up at hell on [insert planet name here].

Love the added work.

when! (cuz i will someday when i get my other projects done.. if i do!) i make my spawn i will def use this page for ideas, just greta work here, really great. Cant wait to see them painted!
