@Disjointed Entity - Well maybe rush is too strong a word...quality is still important, but I have too many other projects I'm anxious to start on.

@TheRavenWolf and Blarglord - Glad to see it is deserving of some face melting.

I'm hoping to have the Doomfist done in time to take this bad boy to the Tanksgiving event at the LA Battle Bunker on the 28th.

So Good luck man! I think we're everybody with you to finish for that event!

Nice work guy!

I'm glad to report that the Doom Fist is now completely built. This represents the last piece to be built, so after this, it's only painting that I have left. The Doom Fist was always the hardest component of the model to get, as I never had a complete picture of how I wanted it to look. So after a lot of trial and error, I added the teeth to the chainsaw, figured out how to add a thumb I was happy with, and add several hoses to represent the hydraulic and flamer systems.

Enjoy:

Sweet! A little confusing to the eye as it is, but no doubt a coat of paint should help. I think my favourite bit is the weapons on the back.

O.M.F.G. That is awesome.

Sweet Mary Mother of Christ!

The Doom Claw looks very very Doomful.
Which, of course, is a good thing.

Seriously, here too you show the same ingenuity, the same bloodthirstiness, the same twisted genius that has animated this project from the beginning. Well done, sir.

That is awesome!!!!!!!!

I bet most armies faced would that would beg the chaos gods to allow them to be renegades.

Like a mini Stompa CCW

+ Super Power Fist.

That should turn out awesome.

Wow, How much has this cost you so far?

Thanks again everyone, the Doom Fist has been primed, and is now in the process of getting painted. I've done a test fit and it's looking good.

@ WillFrost - I haven't been keeping a running total...but just off the top of my head, here's the list of items I bought new for this project. Everything else I had lying around...

- 1 Drop Pod
- 1 Defiler
- 3 Skeleton Regiments
- 1 Baskilisk
- 1 Land Speeder
- 1 Whirlwind
- 1 FW Khorne Icon
- 1 FW Khorne Brass Etchings
- 1 FW Chaos Brass Etchings
- 2 Imperial Guard Vehicle Accessory Sprues
- 2 Chaos Vehicle Accessory Sprues

wow I like the ragged chainsaw!!!!!

I like.

DC

Is there a chance you could fit speakers to it so in battle it could roar 'Blood for the Blood God'. The look on your opponents face as he himself would be hilarious.
This is truly outstanding.
Well done sir.

ummmm......
wow.....
yea........
wow......

two things
1 the knees would have looked much better the other way round
2 why salamanders theyre awesome

Thanks guys, painting on the DoomFist is coming along nicely. I accidentally left my camera at work, but I should have pictures later tonight. Once the arm goes on, all I have left is to add some armor where the tail meets the body, and then all the little detail spots I saved for last.

@belial - BTW love your photo...in terms of adding the speakers, it would be awesome, but my buddy tried something like that a few years ago, and unless the speakers are amplified, it gets hard to hear. But I am looking to add some type of sign (I have one FW Khorne resin icon left just for this purpose).

@Vulkan_He'stan - The leg design will forever be the dividing factor with this model :-) And nothing personal with the choice in Salamanders, it's just the green paintjob that best contrasted with the red model.

Amazing, just simply amazing.

I would just suggest that you have some desecrated necron or other xenos trophies.

Like some sliced-up Immortals.

Can't wait to see other finishing touches!

Now someone needs to make a Nurgle Titan.

As promised, here are some photos of the Doom Fist with some paint on it. Hopefully the detail is a bit easier to make out, now that the various parts can be distinguished from one another. I'm planning on on painting the hose leading to the flamer in yellow/black hazard striping, so it will take a while, but I think it will really pop out.



Here's the back of the arm with the weapon details.



Here's a bit more detail of the claw, hopefully you can make out the three fingers.



Luckily the test fit revealed that the arm is a snug fit.



And finally head on...

Here's hoping the rest of the painting goes smoothly, hopefully I can make it the Tanksgiving at the LA bunker, but with family plans, that's far from definite.

Awesome! Now just bathe it in blood!

This is a facemelting awesomeness ..

WHERES IS YOUR GOD NOW !?!?!

When you say 'make a sign', my thoughts immediately went to one of those 'rectangle on a stick' placards being held in the doomfist, reading either 'Blood For The Blood God!' or 'Rarghhhh!'

Something about a banelord holding a sign reading 'rarghhhh' strikes me as terribly amusing. I think it's for the same reason people laugh at a gun with a flag reading 'bang'.

Still awesome. Just absolutely amazing.

Once again..........................Awesome

Well, there's another pair of pants ruined!

*blushes*

Wow good sir i take my hat off to you.

Eyes dont look evil enough ATM.

Still...amazing.

TBH Its starting to look almost too busy. Needs more Red, hazard stripes might be a bad idea ATM.

mad stuff but WHY...WHY....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BUILD THE LEGS LIKE THAT?? i mean can't you just spin 'em around or something??

That looks fricking sweet.

All I have to ask is, can I has?
