Getting out of hand with the ammount of things ive been tinkering with no, so from now on ill only be making a seperate thread for big projects, however, everything i do will get thrown here to start with to keep me going.

Since i have a tendancy to get 90% through something and stop, im hoping this will help me get my lazy arse going again.


So, talk is one thing, but pics are better:

DE Talos conversion / scratch:














Quick bit of daemons for good measure;
Skarbrand counts as and colour test on a horror:








Necron Destroyer colour test:







Dragon ogre shaggoth WiP:







Skaven Hellpit abomination: (before the official model release)
Gs on the bass is for later on.
Plan on adding some sludge and the likes, so needed to barrier off parts of it.

"Fuzzy says "Hi""









Last for now is my skaven "behemoth"
Built while i was half cut.
Still needs tons of work, but its a start i guess:
















And thats it thus far, hope to get as many updates as i can and keep this from dying a slow and painful death.
Hope you enjoyed.

That skaven behemoth is sick, and that metalic purple horror is suprisingly well done

Have to agree! That behemoth is sweet! All skaven parts too, by the looks of it. Don't get me wrong, liking the paint jobs and GS work on everything, but yea... gotta give the behemoth it's due!

Great stuff here Jack, particularly like the Skaven conversions and the skin tones on the DP!

A nice interesting selection there.

The talos looks interesting, but I feel it's missing something atm. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what

Skin on the 'Skarbrand' is very nice, and I like the way the horror has come out.

And the behemoth is something I'll definitely be keeping an eye on

Cheers all


Monkey - The talos will be getting alot more work.
so far its pretty basic.
Will be adding plates to the tail, along with alot of wiring to keep in line with the rest of it.
Also need to get the GS out and remove the khorne shaped face plate and blend it in.




Behemoth should have an update in the next few days.
Will be working on the waist next and the body.
Need to bulk it a bit more and add in some more framework.

Oh my.... that Talos is exactly how I would imagine one should look. If only I could afford some FW stuff I would go for it myself. Also that purple metallic Horror is just plain awesome!

Mr.Malevolent

Skaven Abomination and Behemoth FTW! Your painting skills are great too. Love the skin on the Deamon.

Awesome job Jack!

The Skaven Behemoth is stunning! (The use of the screaming bell is genius! I can see many variants of this!)

all of it looks naughty but the skaven behemoth is just sick(in a good way of course).

The "cages" or frames on the legs of the behemoth really tie the whole thing together and make it a believable biomechanical thingamajig. Also, using the bell bitz as greaves is pure genius. Nice work there, looking forward to seeing that in a battle report some day...

Awsome behemoth ! Great pose.

The purple horror is very good, the rest is very twisted, love it!

Cheers all


Will try and get some more work done on the behemoth tonight, just need to finish off basing a cron lord and converting up 7 more immortals (no way im paying £9 each when i can make 6 from an £18 plastic box set)


Also finally got my name changed, so no more annoying typeface symbols.

NIce work.

Hello again everyone.
Got a nice big update today, which ran through 3 sets of batteries in my cam :(

This ranges from nids, crons, daemons, O&G, skaven and anything i may have missed.
So, without any more gibbering, enjoy:






Nids:

2 Warriors with prime:



Harpy:







Mr. cuddles - the tyrannofex:






Tyranid prime:



Army shots:







Swarmlord: (still needs 2nd tail section and more GS)







Doom of mala'tai:






The "Twins":


"Twins" and swarmy:





BA Furioso librarian dread: (done a little while ago)






Necron lord:




Nightbringer finally gets more work done on him:



Necron immortal conversion idea:




Troll that im starting to paint, with just washes:





Deathmaster sniktch 90% done:






The start of yet another army:


Daemons, lots and lots of daemons:



















Still got more daemons in the painting line not pictured here, plus 6 soul grinders on the way!
So progress is getting there, just a bit of everything, rather than alot of 1 thing.

You suck. Your work looks so great. I especially love the Deamon Prince's light blue skin color, it looks like its glowing. But you're making want to go and paint but I can't 'cause it's late and I need to go to bed....Sigh.

I'm jealous of all your lil' goodies. So many minis that I want and are progressing very nicely.

Everything looks awesome.

I want to see some painted Tyranids!

Just working on a few test colours at the moment gutrip.
Wanted a more fleshy tone, and since ive just started putting some stealer shock together, they will be the test models (8 stealers + broodlord x4)


Cheers bunny
More of a curse having all this to paint.
seems to get to a point on each model then stop for ages.
Need to learn to finish things as im going.

all of it looks brilliant to me,my favourite has to be the wings on the chaos wizard/demon.they just look class.

Will have another update later tonight

Finally got some work on the behemoth done so its nearly ready for paint (will take some time)

Got 5 horrors and 5 letters painted up.
Started a monolith and made 5 immortals (not paying £9 each for them)

and a few various other bits here and there.

Im very impressed with your sense of weight balance and artistic proportion on your scratch built minis, i especially love the behmoth which i'll call it Chaos Skaven Marines Dire Knight.

At first i was like hmm! whats that shin guard, then omgz screaming bell xD

Are you going to beef up the arms with more details?

Geeez when did you started on chaos , was gone for abit then POOF it grew out of nowhere

Chaos skaven marines dire knight has a ring to it

The bell was junk, had no real use so went from a bell, to a furnace, to a catapault (before the new one was released) and now to this.


Started on the arms and torso now.
Need to build up both arms and bulk out the back section of the torso, so shouldnt take too long.

I started a short while ago
A friend wanted a new army, so i swapped my orks for some daemons, then just decided to start adding to it.

also got another grinder and 6 more crushers in the army now.
So getting there for 24 crushers.

Has Chaos tainted your brain? I didnt know you were such a hard core Chaos fan o_o

24 Crushers? thats ALOT , well both in money and amount of them , can you field them all ?

3 units of 8 work pretty well
Can also have 4 herald on juggers aswell if needed, so will need 4 more of them.
so 2 box's, with 2 spare which i can use to make 2 heralds on chariots.

So not too cheap, but effective.


Should have really slowly released the pics, rather than hammered over 100 in the 1st page lol.

What is this guy armed with? and where did you get it?

He is armed with a banner from the Horror's kit I think.

The weapon is now a staff, and it is indeed from the plastic horrors kit




Small is old update now.
Started sculpting this long ago (was blogged on my account which i cant get into) so ive decided to re-visit it and get going on more work.
Really want to get this one done and then move onto ku'gath or a khornate style daemon, but for now, i need to get this one going again.










Base for this was the old metal giant since i needed something large, so i took a hacksaw to it and re-posed it as framework to work from.

Wow just started reading this thread and you have some amazing work. I love the whites highlighting the red on your Daemon Prince. I also think the behemoth reminds me of an ent from Lord of the Rings. Idk why.

Great job Jackal! Obviously the behemoth is Rad but my other favourite is the 'Birofex' (i knew i recognised the rupture cannon from somewhere ). Also kudos on approaching none of your armies by half measures, you seem to like flashing your cash lol.... Bit too much grey plastic though .....
