Marbo reloaded has just won by thousand point against the original

I like the color scheme You're proposing for the DP, with your skills It should look awesome

Found it!

Here is the most important moment of the hobby for me so far, I hope you enjoy it:
Page one, two, three.

Although I'm sad to see the nipples go ....MARBO First Blood pt. II is completely BADASS!

Wow, thanks so much everyone! I feel much much better and more positive now after the faith you put in my painting skills, it's a nice feeling to have others actually WANT to see you do something, it makes me want do something spectacular (or at least as speccy as i can do it)

yes, I am a bit disapointed in myself about the Tau but there's no point doing a job when you're heart isn't in it 100% my Marines i loved, my IG I'm loving still, and the ideas I have for Slaanesh is really pumping me up like crazy, especially with the colours and my cartoony style i favor now

speaking of Slaanesh, can I tease you with some random thoughts i had for them? o.k you do want me too! that's great i'll do it later tonight lol


Marbo First Blood pt2 I feel will be pure deadly death on the table! I can't say how much more pleased i am with the paint, but can i ask if the pics of him as bright as they are were better than others? i'm trying to gauge what you guys want with them?

back laters guys, you best bump me later so i can update my slaanesh ideas for yo to feedback me! trust me you'll like the theme!

Ooh I'm excited to see your ideas! I hope that article helped!

I'm curious as well, your ideas could be my loot....

Loot Damo's Brain!!

YES YES loot my brain!

I'm a little tired and just about to head off to bed but i shall impart some of my ideas that are bouncing around in the Nerd noggin'

O.K Slaanesh are excess and pleasure right? gratuitous embellishments and colours etc. things that don't make sense in the perfection that is evil! so, sensory deprivation makes perfect sense depriving your senses makes the others heightened and that may be a good theme to explore for the army? so some having a lack or removal of sensory organs then making an example of the others? for instance perhaps a model with no eyes may have exaggerated ears for better hearing or large nostrils for scenting prey? as well as that i want things confusing the mind as to what you SHOULD expect when looking at Slaanesh, for example having a marine fully kitted but with the head of an innocent child or as mentioned an angelic face?

also, i am a HUGE fan of the Hellraiser series of movies! so of course I want to impart some of the creepy demon horrors that make it soooo good! black leathers, flayed and pinned skin flaps, piercings, no eyes, things like that (except for the movie with the guy who shoots cd's from his head! )

colour I want the normal pinks purples and blacks but with my shadowed filigree designs all over the armour and some armour blending in with the flesh of the model and having veins visible through translucent skin merging with the designs on the armour?

O.K too tired now to function..... love to see your thoughts on it guys

Marbo is excellent. He looks like he just figured out the shells (different Stallone reference )

great idea nerd! would love to see it come to fruition. good job on marboe too looks great the tat is quite awesome

black leathers

You have my attention

I love me some brain loot and this is a good haul. Although i did just spend half an hour looking for something because of it. As soon as I read about your ideas on sensory depravation I remembered that I had read someone's thoughts on that before. I quickly found the white dwarf that article I posted was cut from and what do you know, there was another page cut out which has gone missing. I can't find it anywhere and now I'm really sad. If anyone has WD289 please do me a huge favour and post up that missing page! Oh and Damo might find it useful too...

Basically it's a great idea and you should read that article if you can get a hold of it. From the pages I've already posted you'll see the miniatures that exhibit the sensory deprivation even if that page can't be found.

Now, I wonder what he will do next?

The CD spitting Cenobite was from Hellraiser3 Hell on Earth. And I agree....he was stupid lol BUT they did have Barbie in that one, the former bartender that breathes fire and throws the Molotov cocktails. Man... I love me some Hellraiser. You're making me what to do a similar army now Keep it up Damo Cenobites would fit into a Slaanesh army perfectly

Mwahahahah! yes this is going to be quite a involved project I feel, the whole theme and ideas are going to cause me to learn GS work and conversions much more detailed than what I have done so previously, some ideas aren't suitable for Dakka but I may be able to get around it? :-)

may I also ask for a little bit of contribution from the plethora of amazing Dakka minds, would you be kind enough to post up some models (plastic or resin only) that i may not have seen that could be useful for this project? I am looking for manufacturers that are hidden away from the mainstream!

I just had a look at those pages casey! some damn cool models there that I must at least do as good as! I now have some ideas for a Dreadnought (that I haven't got in my list at the moment) the marines in my force will be fairly boring and basic but with some flair and additions but the Spawn and larger models, Daemons, Lords etc will be the focus of my attention, I can't wait to get started!

Kromlech have:
Sek'hara, handmaiden of Pain (demon princess)

Bedlam Fraternity Shoulder pads and heads
The Kromlech Legionaries Legs (standing, running, kneeling) could all work.

Maxmini Have:
Steel Crow heads (might fit with the sensory modification theme)
Dragonfly wings (depends what way you go)

It's worth looking through the Anvil Industries stuff to see if anything takes your fancy, both in terms of armour and also weapons and other parts (Grill heads?)

If you don't mind metal. Hell Dorado has an awesome range of parts to cannibalise, as does Malifaux.

You hipster you!

Hmm.. Well, continuing my Helldorado pitch:

Damned ones of gluttony - all mouth!

How about this for a major Slaanesh Daemon?

I vote for the last one... for... obvious reasons.

I'm planning as well to get a couple of figures from both Anima Tactics and Helldorado.

They look very well done and I like the models all around (not all of them )

Yeah, the fact that most of the models are very good renderings of the art work made 3-d speaks tons for the artists' talent.

Holy crap I'm going to end up sinking money into this stuff when I do Daemons!

If only the sculpt matched the art behind it, I'd buy one as soon as my bank balance allowed...

Well her pose may not be exact, but is closer than many other game companies would have done for their models, At least she looks like a she,,,,,GW I am looking you with the manly SoB minis.

Fixed that for you Gits

You guys have shown me some really promising ideas with those models! I Luuuuuuuurve the Gluttony sculpts! I may need to visit Heldorado as well as Malifaux and have a little poke around and see what I like! I haven't felt this twinge of excitement since!....... I went to a party at an all girls private school!

Az I had already marked those Bedlam pads too! great minds i tell ya! but I hadn't considered the Steel Crow heads until you mentioned them and I think i can use them in a few ways.......


Gah! bring on my days off already!

Something to inspire you

Hmmm, so many options! That WD article inspired me to build 2000pts of extensively converted Slaanesh Marines. It was my first army and I was young so I can't bring myself to take pictures but I used a huge range of GW components. My bible was that old sticky in store Mail Order book and my specialist games catalogue.

These days we have tonnes of miniature ranges to choose from, I think the best thing to do is to first define the style you are trying to achieve. Once you know that it's easier to find the components you need.

Holy hell that Lucius the Eternal is truly amazing! and now whatever i do will look like poo! Gah! although I do intend to create my own version based on Pinhead :-)

and casey I think I have my ideas down alright? I'm going to make them quite clean and uncluttered but very intricate with extreme highlighting and lots of that boring filigree work that i'm sure I'll overdo and everyone will get sick of lol! :-)

Can't wait to see the "clean dirty ", I never watched the hell raiser movies, the first one I saw created me out too much and I never went back for more. Filigree sounds really interesting.
