Thanks!

Fit it on the back of the defiler, the downward facing wingtips facing the rear would look like barding from a horse and the opening where the tail pokes out could be filled with tech stuff. Very nice

Well I'm sorry but I have some difficulties to figure how you suggest to set the wings, could you draw it or show me a pic of a similar shape?

Sorry this is very very rough, but i hope you can see what i wasd meaning.

Ok, I see what you meant now, thanks a lot man!

I'll give this option a try and take pics of it. By the way, what tech elements do you think I could use to set between the wings? engines and cables or a more enigmatic machinery with runes and mechanicals elements?

If other people have ideas, they are welcome too!

Loving the Necro-Defiler.

I am so tempted to get one now.

Go enigmatic, it doesnt have to be tech, after all it is a daemon engine, just a thought... egyptian hieroglyphs, or a big scarab beetle.

I'm now thinking of a mystical engine with some kind of prism with screaming faces on the surface, as if it was powered by the souls of its victims.

What do you think?

Awesome work on both the Khorne & Tzeentch defilers!!!

A friend of mine told me the Games Day was really overcrowded, which spoilt his day a bit...

Was it that bad??

Can't wait to see the Plague Hulk...

Thanks! I've started Wolf more than a year ago, it was about time for me to finish it (and perhaps, one day finish the Silver tower too )
The Tzeentch sphynx thing was really quickly made (less than an hour) and the hardest part was to glue the legs to the chassis. I must say I'm quite happy with this one.

I've been waiting for almost 45 min to 1 hour, just to get a seat for the Scrap Demon. The time to reach the forgeworld stand was insane (unless you were ordering some stuff, which allowed you to buy some kits allong with paying for the order). I couldn't reach the Armies on Parade expostion for some time and I really had a limited access to the Golden Demon tables (not to mention being perpetually bounced by careless guys -oh, did I mention I hate proximity?)

I can't wait to build it!

Well I guess I would've been really disappointed...

I had 2 days off this week, which allowed me to progress on some projects.

- I've prepared a dozen GS faces to add to my noise marines legs.

-I've started to paint both Wolf the Defiler, and my Brass Scorpion.

-I've worked on the Sorcerer Dreadnought, here are some WIP pics (sorry the pics are blurry ) :

It lacks of arrows and fancy hyeroglyphs for now.


The dreadnought force weapon arm is on its way, I'm quite happy with this one.


Tzeentch icons bent and glued on the legplates.


The early stages of the sarcophagus. The GS mold for the mutated eyes I'll put on each side is ready.

There is one point I need an advice. I like to put icons both on the top and the back of my dreadnought (as I did with the Khone and Slaanesh dreads).
Until now, I only have the regular CSM Tzeentch icon, and I still don't know where to put it:

here?


or here?


What do you think?

The leg guards are beautiful but...not too sure on the head. I feel it needs to be sunk in a bit more as all the dreadnought patterns seem to have the head in a socket as it were with raised collar.

I'd say, buy a Tzeentch Horrors Icon from a bitz site, looks more "original", less "seen and seen again"...

And put it on top!

I think on top as well.

The new dread is looking really good. Particularly the force weapon arm, which has a weirdly, wonderfully Tzeentchy aesthetic.

top deffs, although i like th csm icon... it just ooozing power to me

Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about that Force weapon!!!

Goddamn Tzeentchy, yeah!!!!

Thanks guys!

@ DarkStarSabre:The head can't go deeper bacause of the horns.

@ Yggdrasil: I recycled the horrors icon from the silver tower ring (these horrors won't need an icon anyway )

@ Tinfoil: I'm glad you like it!

@Tyranic Marta: I like it too, but I'll probaly cut it into bits to use on the dread.

I'll go for the Horrors icon on top, and try to find my old metal WHFB tzeentch icon to put it on the back of the dread.

sounds good HJ cant wait to see em painted

Wow. Like *really* wow. That Dread is already so impressive I'm not sure where else you are going to be able to take it but no doubt you'll do something amazingly OTT.

Thanks!

Here are some news:
- I've finished the modeling job on my noise marines legs. Now I have to make 5 more tentacled helmets, and 6 more heads looking like the DPs.

-Basecoat on Wolf's armor is nearly done, then I'll use some layers of red gore and blood red before to paint the mutant flesh and finally the metallic parts:


-I've worked on the Sorceror Dread according to Yggs and Tinfoil advices. However, I've tried something with the classic tzeentch icon on the back:



What do you think?

Wow thats brilliant. Keep up the awesome work.

Dread looks fantastic.

The banner looks really good.

Fragile, but really good.

You have some very nice work going on here, I can't believe I've not seen this thread until now.

Love the dread!

Thank you guys!

Fragile? Well I don't worry on this point. The banner pole has been drilled and pinned to the level of the two tzeentch symbols

I can't wait to start working on the armor plates!

Your Dread looks gorgeous. Yet one more idea I'm going to have to steal from you.
I wonder how this will turn out with my AOBR Dread.

Thanks man! Steal as much as you want, it's for free

There's nothing you can't do with an AOBR dread and an sharp Xacto knife
Remember to post pics of it if you give a try!

BTW great news: I've finally received my forge world order with all the Emp kids rhino upgrade kits I was waiting for to start the transports (and some Death Guard stuff as well)
I'm also finishing the purchases for my last (I swear this one will be the last!) CSM army, the Thousand Sons.
I'm waiting for 3 boxes of TS, 20 metal horrors, 5 termies and Arhiman
I must also buy get some Scibor and Chapterhouse TS bits for the termies
No need to say that my hobby budget is now severely crippled and that I might be more reasonable until the end of the year, and -why not- try to paint some models!

Since I have nothing on schedule next week-end (unless my dear wife has planned a "surprise" dinner at my parents in law) I might be able to post some pics soon.

Cheers!

Just bugging you to see if you've got an update lurking about. The Defiler really has my attention.

well...let's say I was distracted by an unsuspected invitation involving friends, board games, swimming pool and cocktails...

Yet I was able to assemble 20 metal horrors,2 Death Guard rhinos and a land raider, to strip paint from 2 defilers, and to give a try at casting with a silicon mold and white metal...

About the more serious projects, I'm cruelly lacking of plastic chaos icons to work on the sorcerer dread, and I still don't know how to build the mystic engine I have in mind for the necrodefiler...

BTW, something really cool happened last week. I got my 3 squads of Thousand Sons (which I expected), but I also got 3 more TS squads as a gift!
Now, appart from Ahriman and some rhinos, I have far enough models to build a cool TS army!
It will be hard to put them appart for months, but I have to finish my Emperor's Children first.

Cheers!

Joe

Where did you get the TS stuff from?

Also, I hope you enjoyed the swimming pool enough for both of us... As there's not much water in here!!

Any chance of pics?
