Uuuuu nice.
What you have done with the demon! Hmmm it looks better now . Awesome conversion!

Thanks for supporting the project!

p.s. ROTTEN FACTORY, not rotten forge;P

Lot of new stuff here! As usual super cool characters, I personally especially like the ones based on the plaguebearers and the rotten factory guy with the gun!

Amazing! I sold off my primaris marines, but had I kept them, I might have done something like this!

@ROTTEN_FACTORY : What was I thinking, of course not Rotten Forge, I must have mixed things up because of the titanforge stuff lying around. Glad you approve the demon, I am merciless with miniatures when I have a blade and an idea.

@b-tone : Thanks ! Yeah, had a lot of fun with these plaguebearers, probably some of my favorite recent stuff.

@corpuschain : Cheers ! And I would have loved to see some bloodstorm primaris, next time maybe ^^ ?

Today I worked on converting one of the death guard HQ :

Started converting another primaris to chaos :


And started building a gun for the knight, based of course on a ROTTEN_FACTORY cannon :

I'm Back !

Been a bit idle lately, as I had to move my hobby workshop from one room to another, and my previous was not moveable.
So I built a rolling metal table, just at the right level between my fishing chair and computer screens, pretty happy with it so far.


But back to the mater at hand, this :

The knight is getting a powerfist, jointing is still drying but I should soon be able to post a pic of the assembled knight with both his weapons...

Finished the second corrupted primaris, by working on his shoulder


And started on a third one, with a flamer and a tzeentchian head


Also started playing with the dark imperium nurgle mutants, with that tall guy

They'll be very fun to play with I reckon, so many intereste mutated bits and poses..

The death guard marines on the other hand, I am pretty underwhelmed actually, can't really figure out why...But maybe I am just pissed because they are not as tall as the primaris..Yeah, I am that petty... In any was, just needed to make em bigger then, this is what I started :


Thanks for stopping by !

Great work with Dark Imperium and reminding me how the Chaos range has grown recently.

Thanks Llamahead !

Did some detailing work on the knight today, including work on the joints, meaning I can now place it standing up with both its weapons !
Sorry about the crappy lighting, but that guy does not fit into the lighbox anymore, will have to think of something...

Lots to do still, but looks like I'll be able to finish building this one pretty soon...


And also finished this plague marine,

Woah, so much to see since I last checked this blog!
It's all fantastic, as always! I really like the massive daemons in particular. The Knight is coming along nicely, and some of the infantry are suitably unique.
One thing that stood out was how your spawn has a similar shape and pose to the daemon engine I just created (take a look in my latest update). It's strange since I haven't looked at your blog in a while and you definitely haven't seen mine! Great minds think alike!

Thanks ! And yeah I can see it, there is a common twisted stance on both models indeed ! Yours is clearly bigger though ^^ !

Big day today, finished the knight, crowning it with additional pipes, flags and pikes. Can't wait to start painting that guy !

Good havens, you have made a lot of progress my friend. I especially love your Death Guard HQ, the rip cage gun is as sickening as it is fitting for the blessed of father nurgle.

As for the knight, i hate to tell you so, but i think its legs look a bit too thin and fragile for such a massive model. Almost like he's about to topple over. Adding some putty to it and adding additional mass (and dead flesh) to the legs would certainly improve this, as far as i'm concerned.

Thanks for the advice Vyra, It is actually a point I was concerned about 4 month ago, when I first fitted the torsos to the legs, and because of that reduces the width of the shoulder plates.
I value you opinion, let's debate reworking them. Here are some arguments in favour of me not doing more work ^^ :
- The GW imperial knight seems to have reasonably thin legs too behind its armor plates, anyone has a measurement ?
- The model is structurally strong. Everything is pinned and balanced. Right now the torso and weapons stay in place on the legs without glue, putty or magnets. I am confident that the model will stay this way.
- I like the skeletal look of it. Good think about this army is that chaos lets me get away with weirdly sized limb and grotesque looks ^^ !

In any case, thanks a lot for the constructive criticism, do not hesitate to respond the points above. If I were to rework the legs, I'd most probably go the road of frontal armor plates, like on the GW Imperial Knight model...

While I think about it, the opinion on that matter of any dakkanaut passing by is more than welcome.

Currently working on frontal armor plates for the knight's legs. Not 100% sold on the Idea yet, but I'll see what it looks like
In the meantime, I finished these two nurgle guys :

Finished the leg armor plates for the knight. I'll admit I was reluctant at first, but I know like the look of it, so they stay on, thanks VyRa ! Some more sealing and joints to do and it'll be good to go.

Emperor preserve me... that knight looks wicked! Wouldn't want to face that on the battlefield, that's for sure!

Amazing work, as always!

Thanks a lot my friend !

And one double headed ROTTEN_FACTORY warrior painted, loved that model, the sculpt work on the flesh melting down was a pleasure to work with. Plus, there is some kind of decayed nobility about that model...

Finished a second Rotten Factory model tonight :



And some group shots with the three finished so far :

Finished painting a corrupted primaris tonight

Finished the rotten factory demon today.

And then they were four :


On another note, I had my first game in over 10 years today, as a childhood friend visited. His dark eldars faced my heretic astartes in a 500 points deathmatch. We slaughtered these sneaky xenos with the purulent might of Nurgle ! These new 8th ed rules are a lot of fun, I'll definitely try to play again.

Finished painting the headsman today :


And this conclude this painting batch's ROTTEN FACTORY models, but I have plenty more from the kickstarter that I'll get working on soon.

Excellent stuff nice change in styles between the Primaris and the Rotten Factory stuff.

Thanks Llamahead ! Different styles for different squads, two more primaris will follow !

Looks awesome! Hope to see more converted miniatures.

Thanks ROTTEN_FACTORY, definitely more of your stuff on the menu for the next building session !


Finished a plague marine today

Wow, such dark and menacing models!
Those converted primaris are barely recognisable from the original models!

Great Scott! This is some awesome stuff. Love all the custom work your doing KernalTerror. Are you us No strait milliput while sculpting or are you mixing it 50/50 with green Stuff?

@sennacherib : Cheers ! I have actually never tried milliput products, I probably should. To sculpt the more precise stuff I use greenstuff. For the large pieces such as the knight titan, or when resolution is not require, I use clay from Giotto (5€ a kilo). I also use magic sculpt resin, that dries slower than greenstuff and is tougher.

@corpuschain : Thanks a lot ! Yeah, the primaris are quite plain models, so it is not too hard to deface them, will definitely do more !

For the update of the evening, here is a second painted chaos primaris, pretty happy about that one actually...


Both chaos primaris


And the three painted dark imperium models so far

Just a teaser of some massive incoming heresy...
