Going for more of a twisting / warping fire giant like the old artwork.



However, this one will have 4 arms and possibly wings (not sure on the wings yet)

The very rough frame ive got stands at the height of a soulgrinder, or 1.5x the size of a normal prince.
Will need some serious bulking out though.

Doesn't need wings if you don't want them or can't figure them out. It's Tzeentch it just works out somehow with magic.

is there any pics around the net to somehow show in what direction the mini might go?...you know me... demons and such things i think are cool tho i have little knowlegde about these...

I know
Was thinking more and more about it, but now ive decided against it, rather just have a fiery mane (sp?) running up its back instead.

ah... nice of you jackal to provide a sortz of guiding pic...well with this one get some air dry clay first to get the bulk done with cheaper materials... seems this would get really pricey and long time timewaster if done all by GS alone...

Something like this vik, but about 2.3 - 3x the height.






Edit: GS is not an issue vik.
I get it from galeforce9 and its bloody cheap.
From doing an old old project i still have 1kg of it lol.



Edit again:

Sculpting wise, i started this back in 2010, but never have finished it:

ok... i can see where this is leading to now... and 1kg of GS...wow!...

and wow again to that nurgle greater demon (?) attempt!... do work some more on that one... the detailwork looks very good!

I have to see if I can find my first Daemon sculpt to add to the fun.

feel free not_u... i like that too...

Thanks vik
The main issue i had was that the nurgle daemon is very static in its pose.
May still get it finished though as it will be the 2nd sculpt ive actually bothered to finish lol.


Edit:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/232429.page

Theres my old account and my blog on here for sculpting.
If you scroll down a bit you can see the nurgle daemon on a 40mm base that i actually finished lol.

wow... i hope you feel akward for not getting that lil fella painted... he has some rather basic pull and pinched details on it but the whole thing looks so weird cute.... it would be a real shame if you don´t finish that one...the balde...the bum and the teeth... very cool mini you should darn... i repeat myself...^^

and you seem to be around for ages already... joined 2008 back then...

Nurgle makes Bubble sad :(

haha, but cool sculpt though Jackal xxx

lol, ive been on here too long
Annoying thing is, back then i used a private storage account for my pics rather than dakka since dakka pic storage had a few issues.
So all of my pics are in a private photobucket account :(

I still have the lil fella!
He is sat on my helf with his weapon broken off, just needs fixing lol.

He is too small to be a daemon prince and too big to be a plaguebearer, so no idea what to use him for lol.



Edit: lol, how so bubble? and cheers

nurgle makes everyone happy as he has a gift for everyone... papa nurgle is your pal and your well pappa^^

and you don´t need an excuse to finish the lil nurgle... heck...if i had to find an excuse to why i paint and modle i would be doing nothing...as i am no player atm..

Just made him a new weapon lol, he now has a cleaver
I could use him as a beast of nurgle, but he would need atleast 4 more friends lol.

Also, i did more work on the bigger one and forgot to blog that.
Might get some work done on him later on.


Edit: My brain works again!
I could just use the little guy as a herald of nurgle lol.

lol... never is something for naught^^ cleaver sounds cool!

and four more of this one... will be timeconsuming but i think worth it^^

Ive managed to find some old ogre models i can use for the base concept now
Saves me having to build wire frames as they are just the right size.

Might mix the weapons up a bit though.
Cleavers, scythes and possibly a mance for good measure lol.
Beasts of nurgle are hardly competative, but tough none the less.

well then they could serve as meatshields then^^
and ogre models are very versatile^^

The only issue with ogres is that the pose of them is very static, however, a razor saw solves this

And thats a role they perform well.
They can absorb an insane amount of shooting every turn.

i saw ion this bard already a fine range of converted ogres... with your saw you can do lots of things with these...

Main thing will be leg and arm possitioning.
As they are they look like statues.
Might simply cut their legs and arms off the GS them back on in better poses.

sounds like a good plan... and yep... since the torso is so damn striaght you have not that much options...

Could cut out a bit then bend them if you really wanted. Plus side is Nurgle is supposed to be sort of icky so you and just fix up any joint pretty easily.

The torso will be sculpted on anyway, so in theory i can twist the sculpting round the torso to change the pose as needed.
However, with all the limbs able to be changed, the torso shouldnt need changing.

yup with nurgle you get all new options for posing^^

Now have 9 ogres that are missing both arms and legs XD

Thought if i was going to make some i might aswell go for a nice round 10 incase i want more later on.

Or go further and make two units of seven.

I may do to simply go with the numbers theme for chaos.
Ive got 30 ogre bulls if needed.

Also, im in 2 minds weather i should make them the same as the little one, or go for a less mutated all over look.
Could keep them as hulking lumps of flesh still, but add in nurgle detail rather than re-sculpting the whole thing.

lol... yeah why not

well as for arms... i have quite a large collection of those... if you are in need...? legs i can´t help you with tho...

Thanks vik but i should be fine
Got 5k of ogres if i need to harvest parts lol, not to mention endless sprues of extra's.
