Thanks a bunch!

The spawns are nowhere near done, I'm just showing progress pics.

Kraut: Thanks - that's also my main goal - to get something that only exists in the fluff to the battlefield - I can't get enough of giant robodaemons, biomech and chaos, so Dark Mech is a match made in heaven for me. That said, some people in my local gaming club think it's silly to make what is basically a counts as army - oh well, I think this army is the most fun I've ever had in the hobby.

Zimmerman: The bodies are meiotic spore mines (tyranid forgeworld) and the eyes are land raider searchlights (I think).

Some of my favorite armies ever are counts as armies because it takes that much more time and love to makr them.great. i love the entire army and it makes me smile when i now imagine what im reading about to look like what you have built. Honestly this army would win awards and you club sounds like a bunch of cry babies. The hell drake is strong, but that is all the more challenge for them to reach. Also not everyonr can play a cookie cutter army.

Keep up the great work and adding images to the words i read.

Well Guita..... Thanks :-) that was good timing the lol! he's looking great so far!

Amazing! I'm going to have to read up on the fluff for this lad, sounds brilliant.

Dude your stuff seriously rocks. I don't how many times I have come here to get ideas for my own nonsense. Keep up the good work and I wish I could see these up close.

The Egg robot thingie is just too damned cool. Anyway just wanted to let you know that.

Goatboy.

Awesome representation of Silas Alberec! Just read up on the fluff on this giant of a Captain, and you seem to have created exactly what he should look like!

All of your posses in this thread are so dynamic and menacing, and this one is no exception! I love how much bigger his Hellslayer Power Mace is compared to the Inquisitor!

Keep it up my friend! Always inspiring!

Thanks a bunch! I just finished him tonight, and I'll take some pictures tomorrow - he has become really, really awesome. :-D

Actually out of curiosity how did you make the head of the hammer?

And seeing this model also makes me curious to see what would climb out of your mind and onto the board where you to do conversions for some of the other 40k factions (say Orks, Tau or Tyranids).

I simply cannot wait to see Silas all done Guita! he looks amazingly cool in progress but now you've got me all a flutter waiting for him done! :-)

Well, here you go.

He got a headswap, since my buddy and I thought this was a much better fit - and this head being extra cool, because my buddy has the exact same haircut. :-D



I also misunderstood my buddy at first - his weapon COUNTS as a thunderhammer, but is actually a mace, so I needed to redo it:

Absolutely fantastic!!!

Thanks! I also got the Forgefiend/beast almost done - a little more putty is needed. Thanks goes out to KrautScientist for the leg plate suggestion - this looks much better:

That is a very cool head on Silas and I like the embiggened backpack as well, nicely done. Where is the head from?

The magos riding the beast is a great conversion, the mask on the servo skull works very well.

And do you have any plans for the Lord of Skulls thingy? That seems like it could be a challenge.

Wow, that Forgefiend conversion works really well. The beast looks totally sinister and genuinely Chaos -- less Dino-bot -- with the reworked legs.

Looking good, i personally enjoy the cabling connected to his back!

Just wow. Silas. Wow. Fiend looks beast-mode too. Nice Guita!

Loving the fiend, it looks proper beastly!

Silas looks pretty damn cool too!

That daemon engine is amazing, and the honour was really all mine for getting the chance to make it even more awesome

@ Bruticus: The head is from Forgeworld's HH tank crew, I believe.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Bruticus: Krautscientist nailed it, reg. the head.

Reg. the Lord of Battles; I have very specific plans regarding that kit - as in "I'll never buy that piece of junk". Sorry if I'm being blunt, but every time I see it, I almost get angry when I think of GW using a bunch of money for development and moldmaking for an apocalypse sized daemon engine, and THAT is what they came up with. Darnit.

Hah well to be honest I thought the same about all the other daemon engine things and you've taken them and made them into something worthwhile. I think it could work if you basically entirely replaced the torso, head, arms and dozer blade.

Forgefiend looks amazing!

Your additions to Silas make him look even more menacing!
Not sure how you keep pumping out amazing conversions, but I am perfectly ok with you continuing to do so!!!

Immense as always, sir.

While I really don't get all the hate for the kit - I think it's a nice callback to the Epic days, and I really like the overall design, even though I might have preferred a more conventional walker - I think that you, of all people, should be able to make all kinds of cool stuff out of that kit, using its parts like modelling clay, as you have done with all kits so far. Personally speaking, I still hope that the treaded undercarriage will one day give me the chance to build a more interesting counts as Landraider, since the actual tank seems so boring to me.

So even if you don't like the way the Lord of Skulls looks assembled out of the box, there's nothing stopping you from making it as awesome as you want it!

Same here. I don't quite get why people hate on it so much. It's the same basic design as a Ruzzbot or Great Gargant- Orkz have been having "Walkers" use tracks for a while now.

Or do something like this?

I love how you split the lower jaw on your new Forgefiend! Turned out slightly similar the Mawloc mandible, but flows perfectly with the whole model!!

Differentiates the third Ectoplasma Cannon as more a flavorful head, rather than just another weapon (which it still clearly is at the same time!)

Yeah, that is how the Forgefiend should have looked. Putting those photos into my inspiration folder incase I ever get a forgefiend. Seconded the comment about loving the split jaw.

Games Workshop should take a leaf out of your book or even better hire you!

Hey there brother,
