Ha! Excellent.

opinion time guys! I am seriously considering these models as my Obliterators in my 1500 list? http://hitechminiatures.com/2/product/info/75 I think they can look suitably Slaaneshy but I only know of these models i could use? are there any other companies that produce suitably sized and aesthetically pleasing alternatives to the GW ones? :-)

They do look rather good for Obliterators.

I like them!

That was fast guys! I don't mind the models but they are quite big even for termie themed characters and i still want them to fit in, I was thinking of making them shorter and using normal bases if the models allow me to?

Those look awesome...do it!

I think that Guita Rasmus got them and wasn't pleased about,
try ask him directly.
I really like them tho!

I think they would look spot on and they should be about the right size size I believe

Mutilators and Obliterators are a good chunk bigger than Terminators anyway.

Being that Termis fit well within a 40mm base (taking up roughly 1/2 the 'floorspace' when you look top-down), while Oblits/Muties fill the base.
Also, you have to remember these were specifically designed as not-oblits.

The not-obliterators are nice but since you gave us a taste of your sculpting ability I feel like you could do something nicer and more Slaaneshi with some greenstuff and a box of Chaos Terminators.

Actually, I've been debating making Slaaneshy Daemon Princes using heavily modified Wraithlords as a base... I wonder what Wraithguard Base oblits would turn out like?

I am with Casey's Law....model yourself some conversions, They will be awesome. Maybe not as quick as buying, but who wants something anyone can have when you have the skills you have you need unique.

I like the Terrorizers... not sure why you'd want them shorter though. Unless they're huge, they look fairly in-line with GeeDub scaling.
Very much like the Bonner (Boner?!?) guy's mask. Very fetishy, and they are looking suitable organic and er... tubular...
I say be lazy and cheat by buying these guys! (not that a scratchbuilt or converted Nerdpiece wouldn't also be great).

What about these guys:

too small? They have a nice Eldary vibe going on with their helms that could translate into Slaaneshi aesthetics?

?

Don't be lazy. Convert your own! I'd love to see your creations!

Or alternatively use the official models with a few modifications. They're good starting models.

I remember back when I had to help little Damo with his picture linking. Now he's all grow'd up.

You could always just made some "heavy weapon teams" kinda like how imperial guard does but with marines instead. Have a couple guys on a terminator base and so on. That could be pretty cool if done right. Something to toss around anyways

Lol, yes Whaley I still feel like that noob mucking up a pic link and panicking, it feels like years ago now! in fact I onlt figured out how to put things in spoiler tags a month ago! :-) I still have much to learn (so don't stray too far)

and back to the Oblits, I can see the temptation of converting my own in a style I wish but i'm not 100% on if I can do it justice. the Terrorizers on the other hand are different and I've not seen them around much (or at all) I like the poses and if I do happen to get the itch i may be able to do some small conversion work on them? the Scibor models are also tempting due to the fact I have a Scibor mini as my Lord and i know the size and quality, only issue would be the armour will be the same as the lord and not look as different? I could always use their bodies and the Terrorizer arms? perhaps?

Heavy weapons teams is a good idea too KC could allow me to model some HH armour types and different poses to represent them which would be fun :-)

I'll have a think and get back to you tonight with a decision, hopefully also my other supplies will drop today so I can wash them and start looking at what i have to use! :-)

Well, my supplies haven't dropped yet! :-( starting to get concerned for their welfare now! maybe tomorrow/today they'll arrive and i'll be woken from my slumber to a knock on the door and 3 rather protective and loud canines!...o.k 1 protective and loud canine and 2 that just like to hear their own voice :-)

but I was nearly on the verge of another project today! shameful I know, I was contemplating slowly unit by unit building a HH army in either loyalist Death Guard or Imperial Fists? but I think I halted that train for now by doing some more terrain browsing :-) I am thinking seriously about buying the Armorcast Starship coridoor sets and making a space hulk style thingy? only problem is I cannot find anywhere a image of how wide they are with a space marine on them! neverthe less I will do it one day...... soon

I'll just leave this here for you

Well I know who not to tell when I decide rehab is a good idea

I think you need to finish some more pink dudes before you get side tracked on yellow

Yeah I know i know :-) pink dudes are some of the models i'm waiting on so i can get my self into gear again! so naturally my mind is wandering a bit, maybe i'll just sate my craving by buying the Terrorizer models and researching more on those Starship coridoors? any subtle persuasions for me to stay on track would be greatly appreciated! as well as any scale shots of those armorcast coridoors if anyone knows of any? :-)

I was ready a blog last night of some guy whos building his own space hulk (it must have been on dakka), it might have been from hirst arts molds I cant remember or find it now, he was doing a 7ft long board.

I had a similar idea in doing a space hulk type board but was looking at these parts http://www.fenrisgames.com/shop.html#!/~/category/id=2290872&offset=10&sort=nameAsc the floor tiles start towards the end of page two. I like the FW Zone Mortalis boards as well but they are well expensive. I expect If I do it I'll go for Space Hulk tiles lol

Well he just was working on slaanesh, so a fist is somewhat appropriate I don't believe I even went there.

Funny that the Fists should be brought up- I was talking with a former staff member about how Slaanesh may have had something to do with the creation of the Crimson Fists...

Well I'm glad someone can restrain themselves, after this posts the rest of mine today just seem to have gone south, and I'm not talking Disneyland.

Theo, you sound like you need to sit down in a comfy chair and take a chill pill

Could you imagine one of those posts IN Disney Land?

That right there would be restraining order material - good old Slaanesh, he's such an influence...

Love your work Nerdy, keep it up you crazy artist!
