**tipios**

@Galorn - I will try that

@chaoslooksgod - Thanks

I'm trying to finish the IW but then I had to go and try and make the legs longer, so now there'a a bit of a delay

**Slayer le boucher**

Maybe you could use the Soulgrinder armors plates?

**tipios**

@Slayer le boucher - The plates are a little bit to big, even if a cut down.

Just quickly tried Ven dread front plates as shin pads. I like the shape of them, then the pointy upside down plate fits in.

**RSJake**

That looks good! I like the way the plates line up! Sure, it's not scratch made, but it will work...

**Nightfall**

Looking great, can't wait to to see the end result

**tipios**

I'm waiting for plastic card and tubes and rods, so I can scratch build. Everywhere is out of stock. So I think I will scratch build the legs on the slaanesh one

@Nightfall - thanks

**1-i**

Upside down eagle, thats all I have to say about the lower leg plates. Ok one more thing to say about the lower leg plate, I like it.

**Knightley**

The plates fit great, the icon's on it... not so much, are you going to scratch build plates to match or fill/file off the imperial stuff from them?

**tipios**

I'm gona try replace eagle with skull or chaos arrows

**tipios**

Sorry guys, my last posts where a bit rubbish, I was talking to wife while posting. So let me just recap.

@RSjake - Thanks. Graven had the idea for the squarer plates, but while looking at them I noticed these ones and just like the shape. So graven should have some credit for that

I really want to try what you suggested, and will try and scratch build them like that on the slannesh or even khorne

@1-i - Glad you like it, the plate shape is perfect, just the eagle is in the way

but we have the tools to destroy it!

@knightley - I could try to GS the upper bit to follow the shape all the way up, or I could go made and file it of and put a nice skull there

I feel better now I've replied to every one with a bit more effort. Thanks everyone for c@c and suggestions, I appreciated it a lot!!

**Hyenajoe**

Holy sh

!

You've done so much work since I last checked your blog, it wiould be hard to comment on all the great stuff I've seen on the last pages!
The GS cables are great, the IW dread legs are on a really good way, and the dreadlord is screaming "steal me!" (but I'll be strong

)

Really nice work Tipios

**tipios**

Thanks Joe!!! Hope you had a good holiday!

Yeah I really got on with the dreadlord and Iw dread, but bitz orders have slowed it down a bit now. Also trying to paint my pimped wizard, but not getting far with it;(

**inmygravenimage**

[bows] Nah, it's really your own work, I just planted the little festering seed...

Great stuff buddy.

**tipios**

@graven - It's much appreciated though, because I was at one of those "sitting just looking at it and going nowhere" situations.

Well hopefully the sentinel bitz that were missing from my order last week will come today or tomorrow, then I can get this Iw done, and concentrate on the dreadlord

**crazypsyko666**

Just put a big red 'X' through the imperial eagle, make it look looted!

**tipios**

@crazypsyko666 - Tooo easy

Finally he's got both his legs!!! and these are the plate I have decided to go with.

I think this pose looks nice.

Now I just need to pin the

out of it!!

Thanks for looking

**1-i**

Liking the pose, got that whole "Im gonna impale you after I plasma melt your face" attitude going on.

**GiraffeX**

That's a nice pair of legs tipios!

Looking forward to some more paint on him, I do like that siege ram its very well done.

**tipios**

@1-i - Thanks, that was exactley what I was going for

@GiraffeX - Thanks, I hope to paint him soon, just need to finish comp first!!

I've had a slight change of look on the Dreadlord this morning.

getting a bit messy

**Limbo**

Your work area is a inspiration to us all =)

**Pluxtheduck**

That dreadlord is fantastic

What are the arms going to look like?

**tipios**

@limbo - One can not create chaos, without first being in chaos

@Pluxtheduck - the arms look like this so far!

Ok everyone, blame Edios for the lack of progress today. I have been stuck playing deus ex all day

but have managed to pin the legs,

and one eagle has been filed

I tried to get another dreadknight on ebay today, but mega failed the bidding process, I was a cheap because it look like someone had faild on the paint job. I have an idea for a Khorne Dreadlord taker of skulls type thing

but that will have to wait:(

Thanks for looking.

Give us some c&c please:thumbsup)

**Pluxtheduck**

Oh wow!

Could you put up how to do those arms, for my daemon prince?
I've changed the basis to iron monger and this would really help

**tipios**

@pluxtheduck - I just stuck the flamer heads that come with the dreadknight in the gaps instead of the hands!

**Matt.Kingsley**

They're both....

Lookin' Good!

**tipios**

Thanks Matt

**tipios**

Finally the legs are glued, and they no longer require blutack to stand up

oh and I got some chaos stars on the plates!!!!

I gona try to add some piston detail to the feet, but not sure how it will turn out!

**inmygravenimage**

Oh-ho, love those

stars!

**tipios**

Thanks Graven

Unbelievably I've started to paint him now

**Matt.Kingsley**

Damn that dreadnought is good!

Too bad they their rules suck, otherwise I'd make one...

Maybe when the new codex is released (Which won't be for a while...)
