Loads of goodness! I like the flyer concept and I was pro two wing sets until I saw the sketch. The one set of wings just balances much better but I think you can make it work by putting the two sets much closer together. Insects have their two sets right next to each other, some even hook them together to increase the surface area. Keep it up mate, rockin stuff happening here.

Nerd I have been lurking here too long! I have to say that all your evil slaaneshy goodness is simply superb, the inspiration is simply flowing out of this thread!

I have to say that for me your new flyer looked best with just the forward set of wings, the four looked a little odd to me, but thats just my two cents! The concept, once fully nippled up, will be the most fitting and truely hideous addition to this budding army, which is already the best slaanesh themed army I have ever seen, the pink is just garish (in a truely slaaneshi way!)

I will be a regular poster once more, no more lurking, promise!

I think you should do 6 wings as it's his/her sacred number really pinky fairy wings will looks suitably creepy against that beast. I wonder if you should make a feature of the + hole, just to add to the ick factor. I like the glossy black eyes, BTW.

Nerdfest, I know this is going back some years but I really like your first Marines.

The dusty white highlight effect on the black is superb. If I read your notes correctly it was done by undercoating them, then hitting them at a distance with white citadel spray?

Any further to add if you can remember?

Hel-Sak update, been working on him today, it's a slow process as i need to fill a bit of area and he's kind of delicate at the moment (must have had a big night) I added some tentacles to the rear and some smaller stabilizing wings as well as the flamer in place and the first set of wings in GS to hold them where I want also inserted small bits of tube and some balls for his eyes!





still heaps to do and tidy up but he's working well i'd say

I also got a package of paint today! I ordered it online and had the urge when at the check out to add something in the 'comments' box ........ and they did what i requested! now that's service ....................





.............Yep, I asked them to draw a carrot on the box ............

Thanks guys! Hel-Sak is all winged and GS'd up now! hopefully he'll be set enough to try and sand him a little tomorrow? I added some GS to the inside of the mouth and tried to make it look kind of natural but it won't matter too much as the mouth will be painted very dark in a similar style to the Mauler Fiend. next Thing I need to do is make some armour banding for his back so it gives a good sharp transition between the fleshy and armour parts of him! then primer and photo's for you :-)

Hey hey hey guys! I finished my Hell-Sak conversion and priming today, I can't wait to paint him I added some banding and riveting to his armour to help separate the parts of his flesh from the top half of him, some bits are a bit rough in places but when I paint him you shouldn't notice too much as they'll be darker purple on him.

his eyes are actually little resin balls I clipped off the top of some resin terrain posts I had lying around suitably googly I think!








Next week will see the finish of the Oblits and some more work on the Demon-Hell-Bitches and maybe some primer on the Termies

I also had a fiddle around with my ZM board and the mesh I have for it, cut a square and glued it down with a couple of plastic vents in the floor, once I get some plasticard strips and my Chopper I'll add some thick bands to separate it into quadrants and rivet the heck outta it! this board tile is going to be an open one anyway so i can have a good play around with it.


Well, sorry I can't stay and chat or comment on the awesome work i've seen in my mates subscribed threads as i'm off to bed right now, I've an early start tomorrow but i'd love to see what you think of my Sak? any ideas for scheme? I'm thinking very light and veiny on the lower half and dark edges around the join in the armour plates and wing tips? with the gold metals

Well your sac is looking very nice so far Nerdy, its even starting life in a very natural colour. I think the throbbing vein idea is going to look really good. I think you have the colours pretty nailed down to be honest.

Looking forward to the oblits, termies and hell bitches, your paint list is getting long

Thanks guys once the primer went on I was very happy with the final look to him! he just still looks like what he's meant to represent, a Heldrake i'll try and get the light pink and the purple through the airbrush on him tomorrow morning before bed

I do seem to have some models on the go don't I first thing to finish is the Oblits as they're the furthest ahead in paint, then it'll be some Hell-Sak base coating and finally finish the Hell-Bitches ..... then the Termies, then finish the Guard squad, then the Celestial Lion termies, then the Storm troopers...... then.....

bring on days off I say i have work to doooooooo

I like that flying thing. It really reminds me of an anglerfish, maybe it could have a little dangling lure in front of it. Although I am not sure what sort of lure a flying slaaneshii hell fish would use. Probably nothing pleasant.
