Amazing! Nice work Guy!!!

Just amazing work.

A fantastic job, Construction/Painting.

*Exalt*

As usual, fantastic.

You know it's poor design and planning, when your model keeps poking you. While I'm very happy with the way the tail came out, I have to say painting it is not very fun

Anyways, I got most of the tail done, with the exception of the weapon detail on the tip. I still haven't glued it into place, but I wanted to bluetac it to get an idea of how it would look. Here's a quick preview, hopefully the next photos will have it glued and pinned in.



I screwed up during building and put the armor plating on the bottom side. But I realized most incoming fire would be coming from below, so I guess tactically it makes sense.



Once the tail gets glued on, I actually won't be able to put it on a shelf. I don't even know how I'm going to transport this beast around for games.



And finally a full body shot...enjoy!

I think the solution is to simply play every game in your bathroom.

Toilet rolls as scenery, craters made of toothpaste, loosing dice down the drains, weird nurgle like sounds and smells - all good fun!

Added advantage - if I had to face an awesome looking Banelord like that, I may need ready access to the bathroom to avoid soiling my self!

Great work - inspiring!

Brilliant, the best thing ever. as for transport, don't bother coz no one will play against a guy with that baby.

You can buy a truck! It would be enought to transport that wonderful baby!!

Your work is very amazing, but I think the position of the tail is not the best.

In my idea, I see the tail in the position of a scorpion tail, getting up as yours but throwing the floor, because the weapon on the tail shots only 24ps! Do you understood what I mean? (Sorry my english isn't perfect...)

You're surprised that a machine of Khorne keeps poking you and attempting to draw blood? *laughs*

Magnetize the tail with some rare earth magnets , problem solved .

Every time i see this model, it just gets better.

Just gets better and better, great build man......

Give in to us!!
You know you want to!

Just a quick update, before I head into work. Finished the two eviscerated loyalists marines that will be hanging between the shoulder horns.

First is an unlucky Imperial Fist:



And then we have a poor Salamander:

Nice trophies.
The upper torsos do look a bit clean. I guess both were basically pulled in half at the waist.
The faces in particular are very evocative.

Just another poster here to say that this looks amazing .

Keep up the great work!

Awesome model so far, the trophies are a great addition.

Epic stuff is epic !

Cant wait to see the completetd version ... *drools*

good stuff,

p.s. salamanders skin is chaos black, not brown

DC

Those loyalist marines are awesome, even if they've been torn apart.

Yep. Caused by radiation on Nocturne. Pitch black with red eyes. Radiation means no hair either, but to be honest I've had enough bald and screaming to last me another lifetime

Love this thing. The reverse knees are looking a bit better than I originally thought, but they still look a bit goofy.

As much as I love the Salamander fluff, I always had a problem with the black skin/red eyes (at least from a painting point of few). I always thought it made the model seem a bit unpainted, and didn't make too much sense. So even though it's not quite up to the history, I decided to paint the Salamander with the dark brown skin instead.

Sides, if someone with pitch black skin lost that much blood, I'm sure they'd get a little paler and their skin would appear dark brown, right?

And though it's been said many times before in this thread:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

looKs awsome

Seconded.

I've been a bit burnt out with the Titan, so took to organizing my unpainted figures and preparing my next armies (FW Drop Troop Cadians and BFSK Night Goblins). Among the piles of unpainted and half painted figures I came across the Valhallan Captain Chenkov figure that I decided to finish.

So it doesn't have anything to do with Khorne or the Banelord, but it kept me sane:



I used the GW matte varnish, so it came off a little bit shiny. Can anyone recommend a US based dull coat to use?

I use a Krylon matte spray. Got it at Walmart for about 3.50...

I just got done spraying my Orks and marines, and it works pretty well. not very shiny at all.

Umm... No? Would Grey not be a step down from black? You know, considering Black, White, and Grey are -shades-, not colours.

Also: Chenkov has a bad habit of running hundreds of infantry waves into enemy guns until they either run out of ammo or the infantry close with them. All that death and there must be -some- blood. And by some, I mean a lot.

So he's kind of Khornate?
