So, hello. my name is Skrall, i also go by Hawke elsewhere.

I'm a scratch build addict (read student who's current budget for the remainder of the week is £2)

First off, some WIP's

didn't know the image limit so i set it the usual forum four per post...

my titan is nearly done, theres some pieces to be done but nothing worth posting.
the guard are obvious traitors, and the tank is a brand new low profile tank, hoping to design 3-4 tanks overall.The design is called the TR-743, known by its title the 'Creeper' tank, designed to hide as much of itself, height wise, from view as possible during ambushes. it's the first of three new chaos tanks i plan to design, i also plan the TX-834 transport tank and the TR-548 which is a highly guarded secret design. I'm also going to be producing a more mainstream battle tank in the near future. I'm hoping i can cast these and sell them at a later date to chaos fans, or anyone who doesn't mind a little conversion work to avoid the boring leman russ.

-skrall

The titian looks really cool

thanks chicken!

oh, i forgot, ork forum... ehm how about a stompa?



and my halloween costume... not so orky.

Welcome to Dakka Dakka Hawke-boy.

You've got some red on you.

Great models! Welcome to Dakka Dakka!

Excellent work Skrall! Necessity is the mother of invention, eh?

It's all looking amazing. Got any schematics for them?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

@LeBaron; none what so ever. i'm a scratchbuilder, not a designer. i have an idea, i make it happen, none of this fiddling about with elaborate stuff, i'll make it, if its doesn't work i'll make it all over again


Here is a new work. Chaos tech marine terminator.... early WIP




Excuse the water beneath the upper right thigh of the terminator, i was smoothing out the joint since it developed marks (there's alot, but tbh this is an early stage frame... lot of work to go).

-hawke

Alright, sounds good.

Loving the Tech Marine Termy. Can't wait to see that one done.

thanks baron!

Time for the promised update, i'm aware its a little rough around the edges but part of this is design, part of it because i need the GS to cure in order to get its rigid edges to stay.

And now for an update no one expected;





all i've done is basecoat it in black then put down a red primer. i'm going to build onto area for the rust, then mask it off, then i'm going to use red spray paint. from there on in its all hand techniques.

-hawke

oh, i've put the first basic layers of paint down, still early days.



and a update on the techinator;



-hawke

Looking good on both fronts. Your Warhound looks amazing and your Tech Marine is looking good. Love the little wires coming down from his waist and the skulll by his foot. Sort of sets that "I will crush you" look and feel. Keep up the great work!

I love your work. Great titan!

I want more evil tech goodness, can't wait for the servo arm.

Your wish is my command...





Just for refrence, the shoulder bulking is still curing so i'm having a hard time keeping it straight at level until it dries a bit more, and the plastirod is ordered for the building of the servo-arms...

oh, and there may be a splinter project coming soon

-hawke

Love that terminator

Nice job. Even though I hate chaos XD

I love the bulky look of the terminator and the titan is coming along nicely!

The titan has a very crouched, splayed look compared to the FW ones. For a loyalist I think it would look odd, but it works for a chaos. It has a real predatory feel, as if partially alive, not a purely mechanical construction that has to at least pay lip service to the laws of physics and not fall over. Hello daemonic engine.

Also looks like it might stand a chance of getting up again if it fell over.

God, as an Iron Warrior player your "techinator" is just filling my head with all kinds of wonderful plans, kudos!

It's simply because i wanted a low posed menacing feel to the thing, it's only about 10" tall, instead of the 12" stalker that usually get fielded... though worry not, i am going to scratch build a mars pattern with the full double barralled death look.

I'm ex iron warriors myself, i used to love them, this was until i found the truth of the word. However here's some stuff that not many have seen... most of it iron warriors, so enjoy...












eh... that should be enough for now...

"So, we put heads here, right? No? Why can't they have gotten the Changling to sneak in, it knows how to do this 'human' stuff."
"We're not meant to be humans, we're meant to be space marines. Humans +1."
"How do you do a human plus one?"
"...make it bigger and shout a lot?"

@Morgrim; Wut?

A Coven within a Coven

The warrior covens are something embed deep within the ranks of the word bearers.... but even within these there are covens of a particular belief. It has long been know that certain covens favour the blood god, or the lord of decay. These warriors walk the fine line between straying from the pantheon and honouring their god of preference.

However these covens do not only service followers of the gods, for there are those who follow particular rituals and disciplines... of these little is know, but the most commonly sighted and least understood is the Coven of the Vanquisher.

Warriors within these covens follow the rules of the legion, but often raise there skill and equipment through combat. Some by defeating those above them and rising in their stead, others within the field of war...

These warriors are not always tollerated within the ranks of the word bearers, as some beleive the armour gifted by lorgar is as much a symbol of their faith as the belief in their hearts. Some however do no share this view.... Amoungst those is the Dark Apostle Selkar

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

So theory is simple, i'm looking for an excuse to build a unit of half bread armoured word bearers. This is my justification of it.... i've mainly been inspired by this scheme for the alpha legion; link
I thought rather than build a new army, i'd incorperate some of these warriors into my army, or at least one, and then develop four other half breeds in order to get a unit of the coven of the vanquisher. Some of you who've seen Spread the Word log will know i've got a unit of khorneinators so this is just another excuse to bring variety into the army.

-hawke

Hmm, don't wish to alarm you but it seems you spilt copious amounts of epic on your win

A paint splattered keyboard. Always the sign of the truly dedicated...

Love the work, some nice stuff going on there.

Those are simply amazing.

What is that wire you're using for your models?

Ok ladies and gentlemen, its time i reveal my latest red army.... may i present the first WIP DE....



and its Time an update on the techinator, there's a few issues i need go back in to and fix, including the neck plast being a little uneven and the skull on the belt being naff (i thumbed the bugger without realizing it)




-hawke

Too... much... epic, it's hard to see the models through it...

thanks dude... but i've redesigned the scheme to its final form. i also have the codex and a raider set aside for my to pick up on saturday.




sorry about the poor lighting but hey, it's winter.
