Hello! This is a blog for my 40k army in progress.
The Disciples of Envy are a cult of Slaanesh. I'm aiming for a 1,500 point force of Daemons of Chaos with Chaos Space marines allies, (or vice versa, depending on how much I like the new cultist models).

After a few test paints, I settled on a dark green and gold color scheme.

I started with the army's general, Lilit. I sculpted this using Apoxie sculpt, brown stuff and green stuff. I mainly used the apoxie sculpt for bulking out the form, as it takes sanding pretty well and is inexpensive compared to the other stuff. A set of color shapers were the tools I used most. The finished model was lacking something, so I added some details to make it more interesting. At first I was hesistant to sculpt onto a painted model, but I'm glad I did.

Currently, I'm working on the Soul Grinder. I'm using Apoxie sculpt and brown stuff to sculpt the head and torso first.

Man those are some amazing skills you have...

I tried a few different horns and face plates out before I settled on these.

Holy crap on a cracker!! That is some breath-taking sculpting talent you got there!
If that was a model on sale I would buy loads! *throws money at the screen and does a Zoidberg in extacy*

I'm really looking forward to seeing more!

color me impressed. i mean holy slag thats some work. I really envy your skills.

Very awesome skills, I'm subbing to this

I've made a bit more progress. I still haven't commited to some of the details here. I'll probably cover a bit more of the machinery in the torso, letting it peek through in places and see if that creates more interesting shapes.

Ok I am subbing this now...

Superb work sir!
If you do ever offer any of these you may color me interested right this second.

I'm liking the look of this second one more than the first so far. Can only wish to have a fraction of the sculpting skill you're showing.

This is incredible work. Both models show true talent.

Likewise!

I'm keeping as much of this thing separate to make painting easier. I tried out some crazy spiky exhaust pipes on the back, but it looked a little too funky and interfered with the wires. I'm trying out pauldrons and other plated sections from the defiler arms at the moment, with a bunch of blades from the dark eldar vehicle sprues I have left over. I think they'll make the silhouette a bit more interesting and help to balance things out more.

Stunning work!!

Amazing sculpting!

Holy cow! amazing sculpt! can't wait for the completed version or for more hot sculpt!

Priming it with gesso at the moment. I've kept it mostly unassembled to make it easier to paint.

This is amazing work. Her waist might be a bit too thin to my eye, but that's just a personal preference. Your sculpting skills are outstanding and your aesthetic blends with the original Soulgrinder parts much better than I thought it might. Well done - will be interested to see it painted.

Well hello there sculpting skills.

These are looking amazing.

You gotta be kiddin' me.
This is absolutely superb. Stellar work.

that is awesome stuff your sculpting skills are out there!
the only small gripe i have they look kind off PG for slaneesh

Sweet Maker! These are absolutely beautiful! Subbed!

My jaw hurts it hit the floor so hard...o_O Incredible. I'd totally snap these up if they were for sale. Bills? Who needs to pay those?

After a long break, I've finally found the time to finish modelling this thing. Some of the details like the jewels and chains I've left off to make the painting easier. I'm using dark green pearl, gold and warpstone glow as a base for the armor, then glazing over this with phthalocyanine green oil to deepen the color.

teach me master...*bows*

Or at least let me throw money at you so I can get miniatures like that

Wow, wonderfull! a bit surprised for the colour, but the final work is awsome!

Are you a professional sculptor? Your work is amazing.

Thank you shamikebab, but no I'm not a professional sculptor. =)
Here it is after the first layer of green glaze. The next few layers will be progressively darker to deepen shadow areas. The color is really hard to photograph, fortunately it's a nicely overcast day.

Made some more progress on the Soul Grinder today.

Really awesome sculpting you did there. I hope you have nothing against me stealing the idea. (Although i'd go on a more mechanized one)

But there is one thing i have to criticise on the model and that is the hip area. Or to be more precise the connection between your awesome sculpted torso and the more simple and blocky leg parts of the GW Soulgrinder. It would look much better if you add something there like some additional curved armor plates to detail this part and hide the detailless GW bit there.
