disgustingly awesome

wow tallmantim, this is great, from the start i was rather doubtful. but now, i must say, this is awesome.

much better than the old face, keep it up

Holy crap dude, its awesome! I'm so glad you didn't use that giant. It is gonna be the coolest soul grinder ever.

Who needs a tongue when you have teeth? Lookin snazzy!

mouth looks awesome

That is absolutely disgusting in a for nurgle very, very good way. I cant wait to see the finished result!!!


Firts post! Yay!

Nice and Nurgley. I think I caught something just from looking at it. wait....



*Vomits in corner*

Hi all

Started rework on the base to make it 7 legged.

So, mocked up first in cardboard:



Looks like a Dalek, so cut it down a little:



Then cut the required shape into 1mm plasticard and taped it up with cellotape:



Put in some milliput to hold it steady:



But had to use a protractor for the first time since about 1987:



And also cut out an underside for it:



An unexciting update I know!

Pro...tractor? What is this infernal device you speak of!?

Methinks the bottom half of the daemon needs to be gross-ified. Other than that, it's coming together very nicely. The face is really especially awesome.

Have you decided on how you want to detail the legs yet?

Nice - very... Chaos-y

Thinking of having some clockwork showing on the underbody and some pistons shoving through into his flesh.

On the legs, thinking of having more sinew and tendons as the actuators for the joints. I'll see how bulky I want the legs when I've got them on there.

Cheers

still looking great, i like the ideas for the legs

its a tractor for none ameture farmers....

this is looking good so far. will be following closely

WOW, this looking great i especially like the spine and face good job keep it up.

Urgh! Awesome! Urgh!

Man-tits is a nice touch

OK - progressed the walker base - drilled through the milliput and corners, which was actually harder than I thought it would be.

He now looks happy in his home...



Nice and symetrical from the top:


Mock up again of the walker leg - with two claws:




Or a single one?


Not sure about the legs - maybe it should just taper down to a stabbing point... might have a play around.

Awwwww, he looks so happy.
I think that the leg is either a little too long or too skinny.
But otherwise its looking great!

Hi - trying to get an arachnid sort of feel to the base with scuttling legs, but haven't really hit on anything yet that really works especially well...

Still thinking...

How about an upturned V shape? By putting the knee/ leg joint higher up and making the soulgrinder lower to the ground kinda giving a more arachnid feel.

Or why not have a large scenic base? and have it cligning to a ruined building or rock or something? A web made of glue on a wire frae might be strange (allthought might not fit in well with the idea of it being a chaos spawny)

Hi all,

OK - full mock up with spider legs:



and top view:



View of a partially detailed leg (still need to GS it if I decide to go on with it):



I think if I go with these legs, I might have to add some strutts to bulk up the leg connections to the walker body...

It is very impressive really.

thats ace

was sceptical at first seeing the leg, but you've converted me. hopefully not into a soulgrinder though...

Those legs are really cool. Definitely portrays the arachnid-esque feel. Though they look too long in that picture. Either that or they just have too much of a running leg, if you will (meaning they are very long with no bend). Perhaps if you broke the leg up into 3 sections instead of 2, that would help, IMO.

It might also just be the angle... or I could be dreaming

his legs are way too long... he couldnt reach anything with his claw :(

the legs look really (arachnidy? :S) still looking fab

OK worked a little more on this, creating some gubbins to go underneath:



Here is a scale shot for how it looks for scale right now:



Note - this will be used in-game, however I am attempting to make it look cool first and match the current soul grinder a distant second. It has greater line of sight than the regular one, however deepstriking and getting cover will be more of a problem.

Having a muck around creating the 7 faces of pestilence that will be around the strut housings:

awesome

Holy Schnikies! It's Mojo from the X-Men comics. (...after going on a diet)
