Gorgeous sculpting!
Also, the belt spikes are looking rather phallic which is great for slaanesh

Awesome greenstuff - are those plates on the giant sculpted or pressed?

Nice nice nice!

Really love the ornate designs on the armor
do you have some weapons we could have a look at?

Someone asked me recently if they were going to have a hard time ranking up thanks to the 'belt buckles', and I said it was ok, they are into that sort of thing.

Some of the armor plates on the giant are pressed. Press-molds are tricky, very handy, but tricky. The studded bits on the warriors are press-molds as well.

I am working out a design for the weapons. That is the next big step for these guys. It will be a challenge because whatever I come up with needs to fit the character of the minis, and be easily replicated to work with 35+ models.

The models are awesome! It's alot better than all the dark BDSM meets Warhammer thing GW has going on. The chaos spawn are sickenly beautiful. But the best model was the chaos rider with snake torso.

Epic win man, looks completely awesome!

If you put a back banner on the hero, why not put the banner poles through his back flesh?
Like a huge piercing!

All in all, it's freakin' beautiful. 'Cept the spawn. He's gribbly

Can't wait to see more, subscribed!

Hmmm... I kind of like this idea.

Hero update (with dakka-inspired backbanner!)



Chaos warriors...

Huzzah! Pierce-pole!

They look sweet, keep up the awesome work!

Awesome conversions mate, really something to be proud of. Subscribed.

Nice.

Some recommendations re the hero.
1. top the banners with the dark elf banner top bits or some daemonette heads to be painted gold, they need topping off.
2. the left shoulder needs balancing up with a larger shoulderpad or perhaps have the left arm with a large shield?

Looking good.

Cant wait for paint!

Waw!
I'm speechless...

I think i just had my first eyegasm...... wow

That's awesome, Xenite. Must have missed this update over at IWHB. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see these in person at one of the WI or IL tourneys.

@ MeanGreenStomper - You make some good points. All of the warriors, and this hero are getting Apis, Greek hoplight style shields... modified some.

@ PsychosisPC - Are you going to Rampage? That is the event I am hussling for at the moment!

@ everybody else - Thanks for the good feedback!

Unfortunately, I won't be making it down there. I don't think any of the La Crosse guys will be getting down there either.

Thats a shame. I am just starting to get into the local tournament scene. Do you make it to many?

I will have to do another post soon. Ive made a lot of progress, but I just haven't found much time to take more pics!

I make it to some of the major Wisconsin tourneys and Adepticon. Next one that I plan to attend will be annual Bugman's Octoberfest tourney in La Crosse, and I may go to the Northstar Tourney in the Twin Cities.

I'll wait impatiently for more pics.

Here are some shots of updated models...

Excellent work, please furnish us with details about the chariot spawn and the manticore

Yes. Everything you've done is beautiful, but the beasts are particularly striking. And the pattern and symmetry you've got going on in the masks, helms and blades is really striking. Great work, looking forward to seeing paint on these.

ZOMG! I love your chariots and the creatures that pull 'em.

They really are very Legion of Everblight, xenite

Oh man. Truly awesome stuff there. I especially love the chariots and manticore. Very inspiring.

I see you must have enjoyed grinding and shaving all of that detail of the knights.

Yeah. Eyegasm.

Truly awesome models, my favorite so far has to be either the giant, or the manticore

I must say, if you're half as good of a painter as you are as a sculptor/modeler this army is going to win you a lot of awards.

MeanGreenStompa wrote:Excellent work, please furnish us with details about the chariot spawn and the manticore

Sure thing. The chariots are tomb-king chariots that were cut in half, and widened to make room for the crew. Tons of GS and plasticard was applied for details. There are a few random shots here. I really wish that I had taken more WIP shots of the chariots, but between having a dead battery, and a tight deadline, it didn't happen. The critters pulling the chariots are mostly GS, but the torso, and arms are from the Tyranid Ravenor kit. The arms were modified a lot, in one case with demonette claws, and the other with creepy spikes not unlike the giant.

The Manticore is based off of the excellent Reaper Brass Bull model. The wings are from some kind of demon, that Reaper also makes. I added a head, feet, and tail made from GS putty. I still need to make a saddle, and add some detail to the head armor. I am terrible at sculpting teeth, but with the practice from these models, I hope to get better!

Thanks for the great comments everybody!

Very appropriate for slaanesh.
