That added "leg length" makes it looks much better than the usual pattern...

I might have to try this, one day...

Your greenstuff work is absolutely phenomenal pal.

Sadly I've run out of lunch break browsing time, though look forward to checking out the rest of your work later this week.

Keep it up, looking forward to seeing what else you have to do

Thanks guys,nice to hear you like it.
I have done a greater daemon now Kitch. I will just show you with a bad photo how big I made him. And also, I don't know if the hood is meeh or yay. And also the green on the shoulder.

The cloak looks cool, but I agree that the hood is a little off. What head is under there? Perhaps you could try removing the top part to make it 'gangsta style', or removing the bottom and making it nightbringer hood style, if you want it to remain a hood.

I like the idea of the hood, but I think you should extend his hood way back into a cone. Then bend the hood so it looks limp. The draped arm adds some bulk to his upper torso and making his head appear longer and thinner will add some "creepy" to him. I like how big he is though.
I think, the shoulder may look a little more realistic with bigger/larger folds in the cloth where it wraps around the shoulder, opposed to the numerous small ones. It looks like its wrapped fairly tight and adding larger folds would just make it look looser. The alternative would be to continue the small lines down the length of his arm gradually spacing and softening them.
I hope that makes sense. I like it though and definitely am excited to see where you go with it.

Hi again guys, long time no see. Ihave been busy with my job, sorry for that. Anyway I changed some of the cloak on the greater daemon dont have a shot on it yet. But I have insted made a dark apostle from a chaplain.

Nice!

Good to see you back

Indeed, we've been missing you !

Conversion looks sweet !!! I just think the PF seems a bit "plain" at the moment, are you planning on adding some details to it ?

Thanks guys, nice to hear that. I know its a bit plain but I Will change that. But I dont also want to bling-bling It to much either.

Nice dark apostle conversion. That chaplain is one of my favorite chappys from the SM range. You've done a fantastic job of chaos'ing him up. Time to get some paint on him

Hahayeah I know, but Im goint to finish this badboy first. And his legs are thicker than they seems to beon the pic, should I do him like a walker or a tank?

I'd be interested to see a non-standard version of him.

I agree with WM. I have faith you can Q0rbin-it-up and make it look stellar either way.

Walker of course !!

Ok then it will be a walker. Some update. Am I going in the right direction?

Sure !!!

The only detail that bothers me is the head, though I'm not sure why... Maybe it's too small ? Maybe the orientation ? The Forgefiend hand also looks a bit "frail", compared to the rest of the model... Is there any left hand of the Lord of Skulls kit ?

His right arm seems too short to actually be effective with that axe - but then that's something that just bugs me about the original kit anyway!

It doesn't look like he'd be able to hit anyone on the ground without bending over double.

I think the Maulerfiend hand looks fine, I think the only reason it appears smaller as it has no wrist, which the left hand has. I also think the arm looks fine, it comes down just beyond the waist. So while it could be a tiny bit longer I think that's close enough. This guy will be fighting other superheavies and tanks, puny infantry would most likely be ground beneath his feet. This he best version of the Lord of Skulls I've seen. Are you planning on putting any of the blood vats on his back, perhaps like a flamer tank backpack?

Also, why does he have a Nurgle-gun on his shoulder ?

i always rationalized the short arms with them only being used on equally sized enemies. everything below knee height can just be stomped flat.

the model is looking nice and solid. do you know how it compares to a dreadknight, sizewise?

Pretty much all of your work is uniformly excellent, Q0orbin, but this Lord of Skulls conversion is truly something else! One of the first walker conversions of the kit that I actually like! And closing that bellycannon barrel the way you did is a really inspired idea!

Oh, and while I am a huge fan of the Khornate headdress on the standard model, I really like the sleeker silhouette created by leaving those bunny ears off.

Truly inspiring work, mate!

Haha sorry but you have to live with that head Yggs
. No there is none left hand in that kit.
And that shoulder cannon is not from nurgle, it is made as a gatling cannon.

Thanks rain but that is only his pose, he has his arm back so it looks like the arm is smaller.

Thanks medium, nice to hear that you like him. No there will be no vats. But he has some powerchimneys on the back. And I will also be some chains and some cloins and skulls, of course.

maybe 1,5 dreadknight or double the dreadknight.

Thanks Kraut.

Just want to wish you all a happy new year
The next year there will be a brass scorpion, a truescale contemptor dreadie, 10 terminators amd maybe a plaguereaper.

No worries mate, I think I'll cope

Wishing you the best for 2014, btw !

Ok nice to hear
And to you Yggs

And of course I couldn't keep my hands away to do my first ever diplay model, He's not finished yet will be soon. Meet Lord Halh
And here is some inspiring qoute for the abyssal silhouttes
"Gather your troops because in a near future war is coming where warm flesh going to meet cold metal. Call upon your false gods and pray for meagre help, because there is no true god.
The only belief is in yourself and the battlebrethren standing next to you."- High grimlord Jebidiah of the Abyssal Silhouettes.

And today, lord Halh is finally finished.

And here's a new wip. My homemade plaguereaper. Rules for this one is in the pandorax book. So cool chaos tank. Hope I can pull it of. And the lord of skulls is of course not finished.

I thought the tank part of the LoS would make a cool tank, looking forward to seeing your results.

Same here! If there were any way of building an alternate, visually more interesting Land Raider from that LoS undercarriage, I believe I'd get the kit in a heartbeat

Thanks guys, I made an update on the tank and build some new predators and reshaped the greater daemons hood and also started to paint on a rhino.

Ok finally finished my rhino, let me know what you think.
