Daemon Princess Updates:

I've got the second daemon princess' weapon figured out. The spear point is from the Dark Elf Range in fantasy, the Slaanesh symbol on the ended is a daemonette icon with the skull drilled out, The rope is twisted 26 gauge brass wire. the banner was cut from a heavy metal foil taken from tea-light candles.

You can find them at Walmart in the candle section.





The wings are pinned on (i may or may not switch to magnets); but will be removable in case I'm low on point and run them without wings.

I really like this pose and may create new molds in case I decide to a few.





















Scale comparison with the FW Keeper:






Comments and critiques are as always most welcome.

Here are some status pictures on my pleasureseekers {count as fiends):

I decided to mount Pegasus wings on them. I justify them with the fact that they have hit and run, and that the wings fit the theme I seem to have going. I'm currently working on the riders, who will be equipped with dark elf lances, and shields based of the . the mounts will sport bridles fashioned out of modeling chain.

I also did a little work on the Count as Skarbad model. I cut the legs to make him a bit taller, and to reposition the pose:




















The Work continues....

Equipped my Furies with Dark Elf spears and swords...

Some scaling shots and total army shots:



This is most of the miniatures that will be used in this army:




And here a picture showing the scale of unit sizes:











More later....

Okay, Ive got some ideas that i need to feedback on:


Bases:

I decided some post back to go with a basing theme centered around the fall of the Eldar. I'm thinking of doing something based on this image:



Since I think that having dead Eldar lying around would be tacky, how about some topple and shattered Eldar statures and spires? Maybe some thing similar to this:



I'd use actual Eldar runic script of course. I could sculpt the statues cast them in plaster and then break them up. Or just buy some bit and paint them like marble. It could look kind of like ancient ruins of a Craftworld, still echoing with the horrors of the "Fall".



Poses:

I am still trying to decide on poses for the daemon other two daemon princesses, so i dug into my anime garage kit sites for these:













Soulgrinders:

After much thought I've decided to just scratch-build and sculpt these. For what I want to do with them there is no real point in modifying a existing model. I'd be making so many changes that it would waste time rather than save it. If someone could provide rough figures on the lengtha and width of the mechanical body, that would be most helpful.

Seekers:

I've been waiting for more resin to come in from smooth-on. If should arrive today so you can expect ridiculous amounts of seeker to be posted up.



Later!

@sersi , since you have very good cast for wings , why not make some in actual flying pose?

Awesome!

And thanks for the details on casting - always great to see such beautiful sculpts come to life.

Absolutely stunning and inpsirational work. Truly Outstanding. Thanks for sharing and the tutorials.

Good choice on eldar fall bases. Id go with broken statues crumbling ruins. Its epic and classy.

As for poses, I like the first girl in purple. I know its the more difficult pose but I dont doubt youll pull it off. That pose hints at something of violence and sensual. Come close to me and see what happens...

This plog is amazing.
You have a wonderfully-themed army here, bristling with outstanding and creative conversions.

Your "fallen Eldar" concept for the bases sounds great.

And I love -- really love -- the posing on the first daemon princess.

fantastic work, can't wait to see this finally painted. Also, the second and third pose pictures aren't showing up for me. Might be my browser at work tho.

Added some new posed examples...

Some how I shouldn't be surprised that some Ikki tousen figs showed up here, but I like the last two poses myself.

I think arm-blading one of the princess would give some nice separation between them as they're mostly longer swords and spears, it'd give her a bit more brutal look which'd be a nice off set.

I can't see the last batch of pictures.

Sorry, I meant I updated the previous post.

I've been meaning to post these up for about a week now. I got caught up on a comission, oh and converting 80 or so daemonettes into new posed and equiping them with alternate weapons. Ah well....

So, here is Daemon Princess #2. I've working on the fluff for the army, but I haven't named the individual daemons yet. For the Pose I went with a more dynamic pose that the Anime one I was considering before.




















She's still far from done.

Things to do:[u/]

1. Sculpt second set of arms.
2. Finish her head
3. Start working on her armor
4. Sculpt the extra breasts
5. Sculpt the loin cloth
6. Add the chains


More Later!

Here's a my first Pleasureseeker with rider. I have 12 of these things/ I'm still working on the riders which are a pain in the @#$!! to get posed just right. I may have to re-think the wing positioning though, as moving the wings back, makes the placement of the rider far easier.




















[u]
There still some additional kit to go on this one:

1. Sculpt the breasts on the rider.
2. GS sculpt a flowing loin cloth.
3. Add a flowing sash using heavy foil.
4. Clean up some mold lines.
5. ???
6. Profit!

Some Fury Updates:

These were pretty straight forward to do, but turned out rather nice. I bits ordered a bunch of WHF Dark Elf weapons and arms; they work great with very little in the way of modification required. I basically just chopped off a few daemonette claws and used Plastic-Weld to melt on the new weapon hand.

Here's a couple group shots:












Fury #1

The whip that this girlie is carrying is just some twisted 26 gauge brass wire for the whip, and 0.1 mm brass rod for the handle.















Fury #2

This fury has a Dark Elf horn, which is far more effective look wise that the monstrosity that the box comes with. The regular damonette instruments I cut the ends off them and use them as heads for my Emperor's Children, instead.

















Fury #3

Looking great! Any ideas on when they'll see some paint? Also, what else do you have to do for the army?

Well I just recieved my new 72 pot Vallejo Game Color set, and the GW wash set yesterday. So, I plan to get a few test minis done by the weekend, after I figure out the color schemes for the various units I prime and base coat them with an air brush.


As far as how much more needs to be done for the army, well....:


Daemon Princesses:

1. Finish sculpting the basic head
2. Sculpt the Brown stuff armor.

These will be done this week for sure!

Gluttons:

Done!

Daemonettes:

Done!

FW Keeper of Secrets:

Done!

Furies:

Done!

Slayers: "Count as Bloodletters"

I haven't started yet but honestly the conversion is very straight forward. I'll finish these up this week.

1. Cut the limbs and use styrene inserts to upscale them.
2. Swap out their claws with Darl Elf weapons

Seekers:

1. I just need to build the mold, and cast them.
2. The riders need minor conversion work, weapon swaps mostly.

Pleasureseekers:

These need a bit of work, mostly on the riders.

Soulgrinders:

These are going to be scratchbuilt, so lots of work remains. I just finished drawing up the templates for the mechanical parts in Adobe Illustrator. So, I should be getting started on those this weekend. I haven't started sculpting the jiggly daemonic bits yet.

KOS "Counts as Skarbad":

No progress. I could probably get him done in a day, I just need to make the time.



So, the vast majority is ready for painting, but we still have a way to go.


More Later!

This army is awesome. I really love what you've done so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Slayers and Soul Grinders turn out and seeing the whole army painted.

This project is beyond professional modelling, this type of thread brings old players back in, and new ones to start modelling themselves. Truely inspiring, bring on the Soul Grinder

wow

Alright here's the third and final Daemon Princess:


Pose Block-in:

The pose more refined:

Both of the upper arms are pull back and will be holding swords, angled outward from the body.


























So...cool, Not cool, bleeping slowed? This princess will have optional wings as well, I''' just heat the tips in hot water and bend them out outward as though they're resting on the ground. Pics on that later....


Oh and I finished the riders for the Pleasureseeker! More later!

I like this pose, it's like she is just about to pounce.

For a super-dynamic low pose, I might have put one of the upper hands on the ground, the other arm fully back, with the claws pulled back. This would require more of a torso twist and a knee on the ground, something very different from what you've sculpted. It would be tightly-coiled and explosive.

I have to say Sersi, Im not convinced with the arm positions on the new FDP, it is all to cramped together and though those arms work well for the others, this whole model is so drastically different from the others that maybe its time to sculpt brand new arms just for this girl. Like one arm cocked back, the other crossing the chest, as if she is about to deal a lethal blow with the cocked back arm...

Topographic Oceans:
Thanks, I was going for a heavy landing, maybe perched on a high-ish base looking down.

JohnHwangDD:

I considered a pose with the hand on the ground but thought it was to close to the crouching Princess with the spear. I might not not be getting my idea across to well. The pose is supposed to look like she just complete a double sword slach attack, with the blades ending up behind her...I might need to re-think that. Thanks for the imput.

Gameandwatch:

I really appriciated the hard crit. I've been trying to get this to work on and off and the hand just aren't right and the left leg isn't convincing. I'll work on combing your and JohnHwangDD ideas. So, new arms and claws...soon... Thanks! Sometimes you just need someone to tell to stop being a lazy git.

Awesome

Un-Fricking-Real.

Top marks friend, you are truly talented.

Okay, as promised here are the group shots of the Pleasureseekers:

I fully admit to cheating on these riders. You'll notice that the leg and bodies of the riders are an off white color compared to the GW bits. I converted two models and cast them legs of one and the body of the other. These aren't quite done yet...






































Things yet to do:

1. I'll need to dip their legs in hot water so I can position the legs to more closely for the side of the steed.

2. I need to GS some flowing loincloths on them similar to the old mounted daemonettes but longer and more dynamic.

3. I still have to assemble the last three, but they';ll be done today.

No saddles for these girls, bare back all the way.
