These are awesomely sick and grotesque, just like dead space... marry me!

You sick sic....Want!

Also: Subscribed.

Great work.

Awesome concept... though I hated the gameplay and terribad controls in Dead Space.

These are awesome. You are a great sculptor. Love the behemoth. Keep up the great work!

Those are incredibly disturbing. Fantastic sculpting, and remarkably good reproductions of the Dead Space creatures. I've never heard of the game before, but from the pics and your models it reminds me of The Thing. (http://www.otherlandtoys.co.uk/images/product_images/Collectibles/thing1.jpg)

Update time.

Another couple of models I've been working on is a brood lord and venomthrope.

The brood lord is based of the "Divider" Necromorph, which scares the bejesus out of me in game so figured would be perfect to represent a brood lord. The idea is that the creature is made up of multiple smaller, reanimated body parts, giving it incredibly distorted proportions.

Images and concept of the venomthrope to come.

These are far better than the game was! Well done!

Love Tyranids. Love Dead Space. Absolutely love your green stuff work.

I honestly can't wait to see more!

Excellent work! The idea of the babies as rippers I think has merit. It will certainly creep your opponent out

For the normal stalkers will you be fielding them as Warriors, Genestealers or just hormagaunts? What about the weird tentacled head shooty things? Another genus of Termagent?

Will you be following the appropriate colour scheme as well, with the "shoot me here" bits handily highlighted in glowy yellow?

Wow. Dead Space is one of my all time favorite series's, and I've always enjoyed 'nids so this is a VERY win combo for me. Amazing sculpting work on those, they really look just like the Necromorphs.

You sir, are amazing. Keep up the great work!

These just get better and better

EPIC. I love what you've been doing here. You should try your hand at a Stalker, those things make me spew profanity like a Puker spews acid.

Perhaps count them as Lictors, or Warriors (due to their pack-mentality, it would make some sense if they were synapse creatures). Also, Spitters would make for good Hive Guard.

Leapers could make good Genestealers (they even look kind of like them); alternatively, Hormagaunts would fit the bill as well:

Unless your thumbs are broken, the controls in Dead Space are NOT terrible.

They're good, but not THAT good yet!

I see Stalkers as Hormagaunts myself, jsut a pack of them cahrging out at once from around corners adn dogpiling on an enemy, kinda like how Hormagaunts do though a mix of them and Slashers could work...likely Slashers as Hormagaunts, maybe a mix of Leapers and Stalkers for Genestealers?

Spitters...maybe a tad small for Hive Guard?

Cheers everyone!

Not to discourage debate, as that's what the Romans invented the Forum for, from which Internet discussion boards draw their name, but here's my plans for the various unit entries:

Stalkers: Genestealers
Leapers: Gargoyles
Slashers: Hormagaunts
Pukers: Termagants
Tripod: Trygon/Trygon Prime
The Hive Mind: Mawloc
Cysts: Spore Mines

Now warriors I am not so sure about, I was thinking Pregnants for them, then using Hunters as Tyrant Guard and Ubermorphs as Hive Guard.

I was also thinking of Nests for Biovores, but wasn't so sure how they'd look.

What does everyone think?

I never had a problem with stalkers. Stasis made them chumps, and a good blast from the contact beam clears up any nasty case of necromorphity. I could definitly see them as Lictors, however.

Nah, Force Gun all the way - levelled up to full on the damage, just let them get to the point where they pounce, then fire. Instantly removes all their limbs in a nice gory splash.

New model time. Due to the practical requirement of a Venomthrope every 750pts of army you field (at least that's my own rule) I needed a suitable Necromorph. The Wheezer fir the description of what the venomthrope does pretty well, though I didn't think the Wheezer was suitable to go on a 40mm base as it was.

So I was thinking about it and I really didn't want to give up the idea, and then I remembered the immature Guardians that you encountered on the Ishimura, and began to wonder if the Wheezer may have a similar evolution to it.

So i thought about it, and studied the Wheezer design, and how the arms and legs had fused together to give it a hunched pose pretty much making the limbs useless. So I figured the swollen lungs as it evolved would continue to swell, making a large gas bladder to allow it to float around.

As the limbs would be fused and useless, I again looked to the guardian for inspiration, and figured it could also use it's intestines as a weapon.

So, very WIP, but still - the Wheezer Prime:

I could definitely see that. Can't fault the logic of any of it

VERY nice work! Your sculpts blow my 40k Necromorphs out of the water; I'd be honored to one day see them fielded alongside my Chaos marien force, whom do plenty of research into these kinds of mutations, viruses, etc....

That is plane awesome. Beautiful sculpts that match that of pros, but i would like to see them painted.

I frickin' LOVE Dead Space and the dedication and sheer effort you've put into you sculpts is awe-inspiring!

Keep up the good work!

L. Wrex

i thought of doing this to, but this is much easier, watching you do it!^^
consider me subscribed and eager for more

I'm going through on Zealot now, Stalkers aren't as difficult now that I know how to deal with them. Generally I'll just stasis them and then shoot their legs off or use kinesis to impale them.

Indeed. Zealot was awesome

Hardcore is much more fun, in a "please don't make me replay the last 4 hours of the game" kind of way.

I'm stuck at that one part where you have to fight 3 unrelenting waves of Necromorphs in a figure-8-style room, and then go down stairs (after fighting 3 more Necros) to do it again in an oblong room - with no save points in between, and I don't have much health and I can't go back and get more ammo... Still love the game though, I'm gonna try to get past that part soon enough.

The red lit 3 storey room in the Government sector? Yeah, that's hard.

Also, here are some Cyst spore mines I've been working on.

Nice! Cysts are ugly buggers, perfect for Spore Mines. I used to waste ammo on them before I realized I could just throw dead bodies at them to set them off.

Also, for the Trygon-Tripod, are you going to have a baby attached to its tongue?

Oh absolutely!

I intend to make 2 tripods, one male, one female. The female one will have the baby tongue shown above.

Great stuff

This is one of those blogs where I my reaction is 'Why didn't I think of that?'

I love that game and can't wait to see them painted. Thanks for sharing
