Ahh i see!

Psst.. You probably shouldnt post images of casting certain things, if you catch my drift..

What pics? Have you seen pics? I don't see pics!

I've been very productive last night, the magos is nearly done, my nurgle vehicles (2 rhinos, 1 land raider and a defiler) are ready for the black undercoat, and I've made nearly enough bits to finish the termies (I must still make 1 loincloth).

I was about to post some step by step pics of the magos building, but I realised my dear wife took the camera for the week end
I must say I'm quite happy with the result; I've found the perfect bits for this conversion ( Fabius Bile's servo-arms, a metal CSM termie head, an old power axe, and an oddly miscated CSM backpack). Pics will follow (probably on monday)

A la prochaine!

Joe

I'm really looking forward to seeing those Nurgle vehicles. I wish I could get off this computer and go do something hobby related. it's so hot right now all I want to do is sleep. At least this is somewhat entertaining... but I feel like a bum. I need to go do something.

just read through the entire blog!
must say you are awesome, i wish i could make my gaurd look this exciting

Pics!!!!

Well, here the weather is cold and rainy, the perfect weather to work on models (since there is nothing else to do!).

And pics you shall get!

All praise Papa Nurgle!









And some pics of the magos:





So, what do you think?

Nice Nurgling of the vehicles, the second defiler is very cool. Your getting a nice collection of defilers now

And Magos looks cool!!

That Magos looks awesome! The Nurgle vehicles look pretty sweet too. I'm also really glad someone else has seen Twin Peaks.

Thank you guys!

@Tipios: I have a lot defilers but I still have more Dreads!

@Moltar: Twin Peaks is a cult classic and David Lynch's best job IMO (nice catch btw, it took me some time to understand how you knew )

Here are some more pics:


I've finally found a way to finish the Necrodefiler! some more GS and it'll be done!


Some Termies (the last loincloth is hardening while I'm typing)


The 50mm base I'm going to use for the Magos (it's from Micro Art Studio)

Cheers!

Joe

YEY! more dreads

Termie squad really looks the part, great job!!! and the Necrodefiler is a nice conversion too! have you seen that done before or did you come up with it?

Nice update. This army is looking so good, it will almost be a shame when we finally scour them form the from the globe with fire.

Thank you guys!

As far as I know, it's an original conversion, I thought of it as soon as I've seen the Necrosphynx pic in the Tomb Kings previews. I know someone also had a similar idea in the P&M section, making a photoshop sketch, but I already had this in mind. My original concern was to build a soul grinder/defiler with a cool Tzeentchian look (I'm not a huge fan of the soul grinder model).

I'll try to finish the termis squad soon, and the dreadnought as well.

Just a side note, I've finally finished the winged prince (which now have an ass - no joke intended).

A la prochaine!

Joe

Awsome!!!
Necrodefiler looking great however my slaaneshyness shuns your nurglybits

although they still look great as do the termies

Keep up the fantastic work!!

Thanks Marta, I plan to finish the termies next week-end, and I might even make some progress on the sorcerer dread.

After that I'll try to get back on the Emp Kids project to finish all the modelling before to start a loooooong period of painting.

I've done so many conversions these last years, and I have gathered hundreds of unpainted models. I think it's time for a change. So I have decided to stop buying minis or bits ( ) and to start no new project until all I have finished everything I have started!

Wish me good luck, it's going to be hard!

Good luck!!!!!! That is a masive task You need to block ebay from your computer, so you can't even just have a look

That's probably the best solution!

Hi there!

I had more time for modelling these last days than I expected, so here are my progresses on the Sorcerer dreadnought (still some details to finish before painting) and the TS Termies which are complete and ready for paint!

The Sorcerer dread:






I have to say to those who would doubt of the trophies racks that I was more or less obliged to add them for a modelling purpose (I'll explain it later)
So far I still have to finish the left armor plate and some small elements of junctions.

The Thousand Sons terminators





What do you think?

Just found this thread and I love your work. I really like the Magos and have some questions about him.
1. Can I attempt to reproduce him?
2. What parts did you use? I see the new Warriors of Chaos Sorcerer Lord, an upside down cut up CSM back-pack, berserker pistol, and Chirugeon arms. but I cant place the head, Ax head, or blobs hanging from the back-pack.

I will give you full credit for the idea, I won't steal credit for a mediocre idea much-less a great idea like this guy.

Of course you can! I always consider it as the best compliment!

The head is from the old metal terminator champion, but any CSM/ SM head with a respirator could do the trick. The axe is a power axe from the 2nd ed CSMs and has been filed to look more mechanicus, and the blobs were part of the backpack (which was strangely miscasted)you can make it in GS.

Thanks for being interested in my work and for promoting it

The Sorcerer dread:

No kidding mate, this has to be one of the best custom dreads I have seen... Ever !

It has a lot of personality, the top SM torso + helmet, the added spikes on the shoulders, the Horror icon, the force weapon, the GS'ed right shoulder, ... That's but a few of the details that make it so special!!

I don't have any suggestion that could make it better... It's almost perfect for a Tzeentchian Machine of Changing Death...

I want one for Christmas!

Yeah I agree, that is probably the greatest Tzeentch dreadnaught ever.

The greenstuff is amazing.

Everything looks brilliant

Thank you guys!

To be honnest I didn't expect such great comments! I was unsure about this dread, probably besause it was similar in many ways to my sonic dread, and it seemed to me it was less original than the others.

I'm really glad you like it

Cheers!

Joe

Hi Joe

The trophy rack is a good idea, don't dout yourself it has a very chaosy look, the dread is great.

And your termie squad looks awsome.

I think you two need to have a dread throw-down.

The Magos is crazy, not sure on the base though it looks a little busy, the defiler is amazing and the dread is made from 100% pure win

and my gaurd are just cadians with a different paint scheme and some bigger shoulder pads

Thanks, I don't have money right now but once I do and get the bits I need I'll post a link to my progress. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier but all your stuff is great its just the Magos was something I wanted to have myself but was unique enough I wanted permission before copying it.

Thank you all guys!

Some news: I've started to paint the termies! I went for a Regal blue base and highlightings of Regal blue and Ice blue. I'll try to post some PIP pics of the most advanced model soon.

I have almost finished theplasticard job on th Sorcerer Dread, and I'm currently toying with the idea of adding seals of corruption on it (basically seals of purity but with a small chaos star instead of the wax seal).
Do you think it's a good idea?

Seals of Corruption suond like an excellent idea, so long as its obvious that they aren't purity seals.

If they look too much like purity seals you will constanly being asked why your chaos marines have purity seals by people too lazy/stupid to take a proper look

AWESOME!! how is it that some people are just SO Great at using greenstuff and conversion models!!

I LOVE THE necro-defiler
