is saying "jigilo..." too harsh?

Tim the Biovore:

Loving this more than anything else. Sorry for stating the obvious but one of those (masterly done) Gorgons is missing a head. Why?

The things some people fixate on... That model will be a flute player. So, I I took the head off to reposition the arms, and forgot to put it back for the picture.

Empchild:

to many jokes on the missing head to begin to state. Anyways as always looking amazing sersi only thing I would way is.....I NEED TO SEE AT LEAST ONE PAINTED PELASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (takes breath) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

No. <its more slaaneshi to torture you...ha...ha...>

deadly chicken:

PAINT!!!!!!

Eventually...





I'm surprised that know one made a "Jazz Hands" joke?


TTFN!

JAZZIE!!!!!

Told you I was stating the obvious.

Actually, the first thing I thought when I saw those girls was "Jazz Hands!" You need the daemon instrument to be a saxaphone, or a clarinette.

Other than the fact they look like drunken broadway girls/guys, which may be the intent, they look pretty decent. Just not sure about the hands...

its the 27th you arsehole! post damn you post!

sersi, wer the HELL are you? I WANT MORE SLANNESH!!!
anyway, have you done any gargoyles yet? how about harpies? try demonettes with wings.

Whoa...has it been that long? Oy! I got caught up in work and some commision work, but we are now back on track...well for a while anyway.

Anywho here's an update. Lots of stuff going on here.


Pregnant Soulgrinder:

Only a little progress on the Pregnant grinder. As I ran into difficulties, with the original walker concept. The freaking walker was to freaking big.



I some how forgot that just the pregnant Farseer model was already the size of the GW grinder! Duh! So, the throne/walker/birthing-chair has to fit within the the dimension of the existing model.



So, here's what I've come up with so far:



Just drilled out the belly gun. I've also don a lot of clean up, detailing and sanding.







After researching some how shall we say less than wholesome sites. I decided to go with a having the main arms suspended in mid-air by a shackle-bar restraint. I leave the hands as they are because they would be under tension and spasmodic anyway, so it kind fits.






Right other stuff...



Gorgon Squad:














Tormentor Squad:










A couple of size comparisons:









Slayer Squad:










With their herald leading.







I also started work on my 1st Herald:











Other assorted WIPS:










Later!

I like the look of those white bodies!

LATER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!

HA!

agreed
keep it up Sershi

Have you thought about throwing some shattered GS Farseer armor/robes onto the Soul Grinder? It could be fused to her skin or something, like CSM armor.

Another idea I was tossing around was making her head still encased in the helmet, but the helmet sort of became part of her head and had split apart to make a sort of mouth or something, but seeing how much progress you've made it might be too late for something like that.

I really like all of your custom models, they're fantastic.

what do the tormentors represent? are they plague bearers?


on a side note, a brill way to make plaguebearers is to use bloodletters.

I can't wait to see your sculpts finished, your daemonettes look great. I'm interested to see how the ghouls will look when they're finished.

Yes, the Tormentors / Painlings count as Plaguebearers. They'll be converted quite a bit I've on corrected their worst birth defects so far. Now they can walk upright. Plaguebearers won't work with my vision for them. There supposed to be evil imps/munchkin/umpalupa type things. I want them puny and un-impressive. A Guardsman should laugh them off until one shrugs off a dozen lasgun shots.

They will definietly be getting: piercings, whips, chains, shackles, and other implements of torture to use on their victums.

THANK GOD I needed my fix of sersi and was just going nuts till I got it. As usual man amazing work cant wait to see more. Especially of the preggers.

I don't know if it's too late to change, but to me, it seems like the stomach on the pregnant soulgrinder is a bit thin.

Thoughts?

First, I am speechless. My hat is off to you for accomplishing what I consider the height of the hobby - in short, building an entire army from scratch!!!

Entirely first-rate. Astonishing! Astounding!

i love the project and the models but i really dont understand the pregnant sulgrinder.
whats the concept behind it?

Whilst reading 16 pages of a thread is difficult, it is well worth it- all of Sersi's concepts are there.

Summed up: "because he could"

Heh, Sersi, I guess the prego concept I through at ya is a big hit!

@Cadian: not to answer for sersi, but since hes a busy guy, the idea behind it is a heavily corrupted farseer, that basically births chaotic blasts and deamons from her perma-prego belly, feeling both agony and extacy, everytime and all the time...

I'll say, people are polarized by it they either hate it or love it, no in between really. But the majority seem to love it! Good summary of the concept by the way. Its about as Slaaneshi I can imagine.

cadian512:

I think this bit from Gameandwatch sums up the concept pretty well.

" The Cadian gaurdsman had been holding the garrison now for 3 days, with no end to the battle in sight. That is practically normality on Cadia; being the first bastion outside the great eye has its downsides. But, at the dawn of the next day something hit us we had never seen before. A faint ethereal 'sigh' that could be heard by all proceeded what many of my fellow gaurdsman thought to be angels, angels coming to save us once and for all. But these were no angels... The deception had worked, half of the front line was whipped out by lightning fast talons before we even knew what was happening. Our commisar executed a fleeing coward nearby to rally us for a counter attack, but then, just as we had rallied and began our assault, a monstrous form flashed into view. Through the smoke all we could see was some sort of enemy walker, but what we heard... It sounded like a pregnant woman being ripped apart by her unborn, and enjoying it at the same time! Horrified by what we had heard, half the platoon was annihilated in an instant by what I can only describe as a contraction from the horrid mechanation, and then it came into view. My Emperor, we can't fight this..." Last words written by the coward and traitor Valerez before summary execution by his commanding commisar.


Well that and...because I could!

wow... ok

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is the word for this thread.
I've been following it for ages now and............ WOW

Did I already say wow?

That soul grindy thingamabob with the baby gun is an insult to everything...

Slannesh would be proud

Also i mean no offence

Well, the galleries not letting me upload at the moment, no idea why. So, I'm rolling with photobucket this morning... Yeah, I know...I know... My hope is that I don't burn through a month of bandwidth in a day this time.



Keeper of Secrets:

This guy is done except for some minor work on the clavicles and scapula's to get those looking more anatomically correct.

Changes:

1. I lengthened the left leg and altered to pose slightly to correct the proportions.
2. He's got a loincloth now, is fully removable (man I love Aves Sculpt).
3. There's a Slaanesh button on the loincloth that I just press molded off the WF Slaanesh champions banner pole.
4. Yes, there is a nasty crack in the right leg, that needs to be filled.
5. He has re-sculpted neck anatomy.
6. Constructed a new scimitar like sword of styrene and Aves sculpt.
7. Re-sculpted the hand to hold the sword.

The whole model will breakdown into the following parts: Head, torso & legs, clawed arms, arms, sword, tounge, loincloth, icon of Slaanesh.

And now without further ado the nearly, almost finished, 99.99% done Keeper of Secrets:



















Detail on the loincloth:



Yeah!


Oh, and here are all the Big guys minus the Grinders together:













Soulgrinder:

Only a minor update on her today.

Changes:

1. Added shackles to the main arms and legs along with some copper wire loops. The will be further detailed with clasps and rivets soon. Ultimatly these will be bound together with modeling chain.
2. Minor anatomy work tho the lower back and buttocks.
3. I also enlarged the praying hands to match the supporting hands.

To Come:

1. Clawed hands digging into the belly.
2. Veins on the belly.
3. Pointed Ears.
4. Detailing the Throne.

The model will breakdown into the following parts: Head & torso, legs, arms, and throne.

Anyway here she is the Pregnant Soulgrinder:


























Daemonettes:


I'm doing these to spruce up the rank and file daemonettes with some variety. These are all based off casts of a daemonette model that I reposed and re-sculpted to be similar to the old daemonette models.









The model on the far left that groping one breast and holding a bolt pistol? She's my future counts as Changeling model. She
'll be getting a Commisar's cap and jacket eventually.









Notice the daemonette with single wing? She's inspired by Sephiroth, I figure she's a demoted Fury, that pissed off her KOS resulting in a ruined wing.


My current Display Case:

I have officially run out of space for this army. So, I'm going to Ikea to pick up another one.










Oh and I'm now caught up on work and all my commission... So I pledge to actually paint something this weekend!

More Later!

Lastly some asked for a army group shot. I promise I'll get that up tomorrow as I want to clean my display case. Everyone that stops by the house gawks at it and then puts their grubby little hands on the glass .

You have had a ton of praise, but your work here is truly inspiring. I can only imagine staring down this army on a tabletop, it would look incredible!

Love the Daemonette with the bolt pistol, can't wait to see her decked out with the rest of her gear.

That sums up how i feel about this work

calypso2ts wrote: I can only imagine staring down this army on a tabletop, it would look incredible!

If I was against this army I think I would probaly cry with shame at the sight of my army, as this stuff is just so awesoem. I also have to say I love those daemonettes and the
keeper of secrets.

Keep up the good work Sersi

i love them.

when can I get some cast's?
