Loving the army so far. Those Daemon Princes look epic and may have to be shamelessly ripped off AGAIN. Looking forward to seeing them painted.

He's looking good, I do love that pose!!!!!
Have a great holiday!!!

My favorite DP's on this site, loving em, and yeah those armour plates would look perfect.

DP looks good. Nice job on the GS. I know what you mean about the loincloths. What if you did like a drape of chainmail? Or even plated armor that drapes like this:

Only thinner?

Hey, don't criticize the Lost Prophets please!!!

As for the DP Hyena, nothing much to add... Look terrific!

Enjoy the holidays...

FearPeteySodes wrote:Damn you Moltar that was going to be my suggestion! Seriously though i agree, the cloth part of loincloth may not look great but if you modeled a piece of armor to look like his shoulder pieces (stylistically) and draped it from a hobby chain belt for example i think it would look pretty wicked.

Could we get a better shot of his sword and hand? I love the pose from what i can see, really powerful. I may steal it!

I'll work out the plates to make something fitting the model's aesthetic. I won't make something definitive, just a try, and you guys will tell me what you'll think.

To FearPeteySodes request, the best pics I have of the Princes' main blades:
For the winged prince:


and for the snake prince:


Right now I'm preparing a list of things to do during my holiday:
-painting my oop necron army.
-painting my Heretek
-finishing the modelling job on my Emperor's children heads and scratchbuilding 5 pairs of lightning claws for the chosen ones

I'll probably post a lot of new pics when I'll be back.

A la prochaine!

Joe

im liking that

i like the ailen hed you have put on it

subed, this is interesting

Hey everyone! I'm back!

The holidays were fine and I had enough time to work on the Emp Kids to make some significant progress, I found the time to paint my necrons, and I even started a new DP. The only thing I was completely unable to work on is my Heretek (shame on me! ).

As promised, here are some WIP pics of my Emperor's Children:
1st: The Dactilys Squad (a.k.a. ïa! ïa!Cthulu Ftaghn!)



You'll see later that the icon bearer have been redone yesterday.

2nd: The Eidolon Squad.



3rd: the Excelis Squad (no group shot, sorry)

the only squad I've done using GWs noise marines or slaaneshi heads (except for the converted possessed head you can see here).

Another squad is on its way but I have to finish the mohawks

I've also worked on the chosen one, the Sublime Guard:

and their lightning claws:



I know I still have a lot to do,but what do you think so far?

welcome back joe! Your latest work is looking good! Nice claws, and you've started another dp

Thanks Tipios!

The new prince will be more common than the two others, mainly because I'musing all the DP bitz I didn't use on the others. I'll post a pic of the WIP very soon

Love the Cthulu heads, your stuff always makes me want to start a chaos army

Thanks man! Your stuff made me start casting my own stuff!

here are some new pics of my latest work:
the base for my Heretek:

The heretek (which is now nearly finished!)


And the early start of my new DP:



What do you guys thinks?

Heretek looks good, especially his base. I think the new DP is off to a great start, too. Given that those wings are solid metal (looking), are you going to add anything to tie them into the fleshy DP? Like a motor with pistons or something to that extent? They actually look like they fit on there pretty well.

Base is very nicely painted!!

Pimped sorcerer is looking amazing, I really should finish mine, but I still havent finished the wings:(

New Dp is great, nice use of those spare wings did you use big pins

Thank you Moltar! You're right, I'm going to build some plasticard pistons between the wings and the DPs back.

I'm really proud of the base. To be honest I didn't know how to paint it this morning
I'm glad you like the DP
I hope you can manage to finish your sorcerer in time!

Gonna be a Tzeenchian Prince? Those look like Sphinx wings.

loving the look of the new prince and the (im guessing) chosen

WOW sweet Jeepers nice chaos stuff!

Just one could you send the link to the site where you got those bitz? for the slaanesh deamon princes.

Awesome stuff. Love the use of the sphynx wings on the new DP.

Those Slaaneshi squads are really epic...

They each have a lot of character... And I'd be hard-pressed to tell which one is my favourite!!

Great job on the Pimped Dark Magos too...

Than you guys!

My pimped sorcerer is nearly done I still have some details to do on the backpack but here's the general result:


I'll try to take a better pic for the contest (too much light on this one, the model is not glossy and the colors are more balanced)

I'll try to post some new stuff before I get back to work (I mean, my real job )

Cheers!

Joe

Hey everyone! After nearly a month without any connexion at home I can finally update my thead, hurray!

I've been productive lately, especially about painting. I've nearly finished the TS terminators, and trained with an airbrush.
.
As I already mentioned it, I've decided to bring my death guard back and to finish it once and for all. Here are some pics of the latest results, but also some of my earliest conversion, from the time I got back into 40k about 5 years ago.









(this is old stuff now)






Here are also the pics I was unable to upload for the Pimp my sorcerer 40K contest:




I'll upload more pics soon.

What do you think guys?

Joe

Awesome conversions here. I really like the DP's and the Heretek.

Cool airbrush work! The oldskool stuff is very nice too ha!

Shame you could not get those pics of your pimped wizard up before deadline, you would have got more votes I think! The sacks on the back came out very nice.

Wow, I think this is my fisrt post in your blog... I really need to branch out. Sorry. You've got a lot of cool GS work in here. I like all the Cthulu tributes a lot, and I really like your choice for the DP's wings. they look really cool with that chest plate.

That's an awesome base under your PMW entry. It is a bummer that you didn't make the deadline... I have that problem a lot too. The painting came out really nice. I like the mottled red cloak, all of the vials came out great and Tipios is right, those sacks look very nice.

Hey, nice to see you back...

I was beginning to wonder... Great job on the armour, where did you buy your airbrush ?

The Pimped DarkMech looks even better on those pics !

Kudos on the Epic titan too, looks terrific!

Love the walkers, they're disgustingly cool.

I'm not so sure about that

Thanks I'm thinking of making a DP sized Thousand sons head using plasticard, GS and a defiler mask.

Thanks again, the modelling job was easier than the paintob. Fortunately, I've managed to enter a lesser quality picture before the deadline

Thanks Yggs.The airbrush is a bitrthday present from my beloved wife. It's a Paasche VL, easy to use and to clean.
I'm quite happy with the Dakmech paintjob. I know it's far from being perfect, but it represent a lot of progress from what has been the standard of my painting skills these past fifteen years .

Thanks, just wait to see the plague hulk, this is going to be disgusting

Some more pics of my latest paintjobs (everything's still PIP)

First some Death Guard stuff:
The Rhinos:




The Plague Hulk:


I still don't know how to paint the metallic parts of the legs, I want some rust effect, but I don't know how to proceed, metallic or non metallic paints?
Any idea is welcome.

The Dreadnought:



I've aslo nearly finished my Thousand Sons Terminators:

I must still highlight the gold and the loincloth,and paint some some details.

And now something completely different,someone guess what this is going to be?


What do you think?

A "Defiled Plague Cart of Nurgle" ?

Love the 1k Sons Terminators...

everything you do here looks awesome keep up the good work.

as for what it might be a converted plague walker with a corpse cart on it?

cant wait to see more
