I've been busy converting the Rhino for my dudes!
Lacked some ideas at first, but am pretty satisfied now! Will be hard to create new conepts for another 2 of those u.u

During the converting I've found the new Liquid Green Stuff very useful. While most other hobby-oriented products of GW are mostly useless and imo just another way of trying to make money, this is actually useful!

Anyways, I intend on painting him tonight or tomorrow, anything to change?

Looking really good on the rhino. In my opinion the spikes don't work on the Vindicator's dozer blade you've don an excellent job with the flesh and eyes so I feel that wold look far better and make the tank more of a single beasty. Crrently it looks like the Dozer is part of something else. The painting is very good as well.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Awsome and scary stuff here. Great work with the Rhino and Vindicator. I want to see more of that nasty looking dude with the burnin' eye in his hand and the melted petal base. What is he? Where are the bits from? I'm looking at him and thinking he'd make for a good DE character.

@Llamahead: thanks mate! I think your right on the Vindi. Luckily I didn't glue the dozer on so I can still change that Will work on that after the Rhino is done.

@worldwarme: hehe *boo!* Actually he started out as the new fantasy chaos sorcerer. I attended in a competition here on dakka but never finished him >.> I plan on using him as a chaos sorcerer, but may use him for something different... postponed that one for now more important stuff to do right now. For the conversion I simply swapped heads with a deamonette (the original one was horned, but looked superdumb!) and I swapped the wand to a selfmade scythe, repositioned the arm and added the top of a needle (those with the spheres on top ). The rest is green stuff. The semi-wings are wire+GS.
You could also take a look at the fantasy DE sorceress, that was released not long ago. It's a pretty neat model imo though may not fit in with the new DE models...

btw, just primed my Rhino, hopefully I'll get some painting done!

@Death Gear: thank you

@Tlo1048: haha thats simply too much of a good idea to not use copied that myself would be interesting to know who did this first...? anyways, glad you like it!

----------------

Okay, I've done some painting! not a whole lot though.... whew tanks sure are a pain in the butt to paint! T.T Took me almost a week to get the basecolors in about the right places! There still are some mistakes, but I'm working on that.

While painting I was a bit unsure about the orange/black ratio. Dunno what to think about that... Also, what do you think about the tracks and spiky bits in the front? Okay or something to change...? And should I paint the mutated skin as if the spiky parts are grown into that or just sticking out of it?

pip pics!






haha my black/white combo priming looks really dumb on those pics

Well I've had some progress

I bought a used squad of csms and a new one, stripped it and started to build! I also bought two more rhinos and build one. Additionaly I started with the blendings on the rhino and worked a bit more on some obliterators!

Anyways, this is all still very wip or pip!

This is the new squad in all its glory!




Some closeups of the rhino, there will be some eyes and deamonic stuff, once I finish him!










And the squad. Anyone got any idea how I could model the hands/ tentacles for the guys holding their guns with the left hand? I don't wanna do tentacles all the way...






The other squad got a new icon bearer, because I wanted to have chaos glory afterall




And some very basic belndings on the orange armor started




Some very wip obliterators! Am very unsure about their heads though... any ideas?






And a group shot for my ego




comments & criticism appreciated!

Wow, it has been quite some time! Real life just kept steeling my precious time and after a while my little Chaosforce had been shelved... but no more! I finally started working on them again! And tbh I kinda had a motivational outbreak
Anyways onto the pictures

First some finished obliterators, the third one is still in the making. I decided to change the head concept quite a bit and I actually like it a lot tell me what you think

















Additionaly, I started some deamons - and gap filling is a pain in the for the record haha
Finished and painted one so far, the other 9 are being worked on...










What do you think? Will it also work with deamonettes with less hair...? Will it blend in well with the marines?




Also I took some better pictures of the finished marines... except backpacks.... :O










So - what do you think?

I've built lots of more stuff over the past few weeks, though diablo III took away alot of free time haha

Anyways, first my last squad! without guns :O



Beacuse they are on a stick for painting!!!



Heavies, Champ + icon



The autocannon is selfmade with looooots of gs



And their ride - a heavily converted "altar-rhino" with lots of blood...









Don't mind the markings, I just changed my mind inbetween, hopefully it'll look good once painted!



Initially I intended this dude to stand on top of the rhino, but with the gunner and spikes it looked waaay too crowded... now what to do with him...? He has kind of a coll backpack, I don't wanna have him lying around... maybe ac with pw...?





complete unit:



And an icon bearer to replace the slaanesh bearer, I have another one in the makings for my second squad, so that i can go undivided all the way!!



I want need those in the near future... maybe for future squads... or simply as options



And I have this thing:



Absolutely no clue, what to do with it... suggestions...?

Also my third and for the moment last obliterator - I actually like him the most...









Some daemonettes, the other 4 get gaps filled atm



And my mighty daemon prince!!!







Also some termis with custom combimelters (of which one needs heavy gapfilling o.O)





And now to interesting stuff I finally had an idea for a summoned greater daemon! Although it may be a bit of an unconventional one, but I still like it! - though still lots of modelling to do...! If anyone has any cool ideas on how to fill the large flat areas, I would more than appreciate it!









Also I had quite some fun while building this base for my defiler! Poor terminator haha I make pretty good use of the AoBR stuff, don't I? I think, just one more terminator and the dreadnaught are left...









Besides of that, I started assembling some raptors, am still filling gaps on my vindicator, painting stuff of the first squad and obliterators and consider buying a land raider, although I probably shouldn't...

Oh and by the way, Jokaero Orange looks nothing like Macharius Solar Orange! Should anyone know, how to mix macharius out of jokaero, I'd really appreciate it! I don't wanna use 2 different Oranges in my army....
And should you have ideas for how to paint powerweapons/fists for my army, please post!

So I guess that's it for now. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions on stuff to improve! I'll be back soon, cya
