Well this is a nice change and i like where the entire project is going!

You should def do a video of how you pulled of that color so quickly.

Seriously. Or a step by step. It looks so good.

Really digging the hand head there's something creepy about a hand without an arm.

That's awful you should handle yourself better.

Get a hold of yourselves!

Does he flip himself when someone pisses him off? (Either British or American style)

Seriously guys... Get a GRIP. ;-)

This is getting out of hand.

I just cant grasp what all the fuss is about...

Yeah, I can't quite put my finger on it.

Alright guys, next pun will get a major wag of the finger. If the mods find out we may even get a slap on the wrists. We should hold onto some of these until the next wip at least!

It's a rather handsome greater deamon, let's hope GW gets their fingers out and make something even half as cool when they come to updating the GD.

This gets a thumbs up from me. With my hand on my heart, I agree!

All these puns make me facepalm.

You have got to hand it to GuitaRasmus, though: His conversions are always finger-licking good!

Let's Guita grip on ourselves boyz... and hand the blog back to the master manipulator!

Guita, if I could get a moment of your time to get some input on a potential project, I'd greatly appreciate it! I've been re-watching the Evangelion rebuild movies lately, and I'm inspired to try making a Chaos-ified Eva unit to use as a Knight counts-as. The thing is...I'm really not sure how to go about doing that! There are other models of Eva available, which I may consider - though this one is particularly well-known, and it's own bestial form can be rather demonic in appearance.

Anyways, I'd greatly appreciate some help with this one!

If you have to get sidetracked with something, making an awesome model like this is a great way to do it. Probably the most awesome and creative Tzeentch Greater Daemon I've seen, and if you keep the paint standard from your Screamer it'll look incredible when done.

I've been scrolling through this thread from page one for a few days, and I have to say these are amazing!! Kinda inspired to improve my own model making/painting because of it all!! XD

Oh, and thanks for the how-to on the gold trim! I've taken it (sans the Gryphon Sepia, which dried up on me :( ) and applied it to my newest project:



It wouldn't look half as good without what you had come up with!

Late to the party, but what a party it is! Subscribed

Thanks!

It's been a while since my last update - unfortunately, I've had a break-in in my Apartment, and while they did'nt touch any of my minis (though the thief had opened a couple of my cases with finished minis, and probably just shook his head), he took my laptop and my digital camera, so it's taken a while to get up and running Again. On a positive note, I took the opportunity to get a better camera (Canon Powershot), and while it's not a pro level camera in any way, it's still a lot better than my old Ixus.

I've been sidetracked Again - I think I need a break on the army Projects. As some of you may remember, I've said I'm not much of a painter. That's not entirely true, though. I DO like to paint, I just often get burnt out on painting armies.

Therefore, when my local gaming Club began talking about the Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules, I was all giddy and excited. I love the skirmish format, the way that I can go all in on conversions, paint and fluff, while still being a manageable task to complete it.

So... Long story short; I'm taking a break from full-scale 40k painting/modelling, and focusing on my new project, an Inquisitor/Grey Knight warband for HoR Kill Team. I'm sure I'll return to the Dark Mech and Daemon armies in a while, but for now, I need a bit of change.

BTW, I've also just started a blog with two of my wargaming buddies; http://bitteroldpainters.blogspot.com/ I'm the only active writer at the moment, since it's finals time for the two others, but keep watching, there'll definitely be stuff worth looking at from the very talented guys there.

So without further ado, here is the Inquisitor warband so far:

My Inquisitor, Dmitrij Dostojevskij:







Grey Knight Terminator wardens:





Grey Knights:





Daemon Host:



Arco Flagellant:

Very sorry to hear about the break-in, Rasmus! But at the same time, it's great to see another update from you! As far as I am concerned, as long as your regular bouts of hobby ADHD result in such amazing models, you can happily play hobby butterfly as long as you like Oh, and your blog's definitely bookmarked, of course

As for the models themselves, I'm slightly uinmpressed by the Grey Knights, because, well, they're just Grey Knights

The Inquisitor, daemonhost and arco are absolutely brilliant, however. I think the daemonhost might be my favourite of the litter: I am stil marveling at how you did what you did!

In case you're going to build more Inq-related models, may I suggest you take a look at the INQ28 forum over at the Ammobunker as well? It's a very active and inspiring bunch of hobbyists over there, and seeing your models over there would be quite an asset, indeed. Plus you might get quite a bit of inspiration out of the deal.

Anyway, keep up the amazing work!

Looks like a cool start. Are the HoR rules different then regular Killteam? Also, why a sword on the Power Armor GK? Other then looking cool, obviously.

Thanks! You can rest assured that some of your own crazy Inq28 creations has played a major factor in swaying me over to this format. I especially love the little mutant sniper, and the story related to it - I may very well steal some ideas from you, if it's cool with you?

I'll definitely check out that forum - there's so much cool stuff going on around the warband format 40k scene - spiky at pack, punk moth, officio convertorum - I just had to get in on all the fun.

I agree on you with the grey knights - they need some more bling, but I kept them more or less as is, because I think they're basically great models.

I'm very fond of the Daemon Host as well - that's the reason I wanted to do one; the rules kinda suck, but it's such a great concept that I had to try to pull it off. He still needs a lot of stuff, chains, candles, etc, but I like the basic pose a lot. It took a great deal of pondering what parts to use, but when I found the plaguebearer arms, it sort of fell into place. I used the bare torso cultists torso, as well as a flagellant head and a tomb banshee lower body, if you're interested.

@ Whalemusic; Yep, much more variety in your army lists and better rules, IMO. The sword is doing just that - it looks cool.

Wow, those are fantastic! I wish someone played that game around here. I see all the amazing conversions everyone is doing for it and it just looks like incredible fun!

Great as always, I think the shift to the warbands wargaming is fantastic thing for community because of people like you who provide us with constant inspiration.
Could you please explain or maybe put some tutorial on how do you do those green stuff strips for the stuff. I tried cutting GS to the desired width and then rolling them aroun but that didnt turn out so well.

More awesome looking stuff, yay!

Do you happen to know where you got that raven model on the Inquisitor's shoulder? I've been looking for one at about that scale...

Sure thing - I just roll out a thin sausage of green stuff, and roll it flat with a pen or brush, wetted with water. It might help to let it cure for 15-30 minutes first.

Yep - It comes from the shield of the Empire General: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-DK/Empire-General

It was VERY fiddly to get the feet cut clean off the shield.

Every time you make a jump to a new format, you just show us once again how diverse you are in your conversion talents.

I am always impressed and make sure to share your P&M to a lot of people.

Thank you for inspiring us and keeping us all interested!

Thanks a lot.

I experimented with my new camera tonight, and while it can still be improved, this is probably the first time I've ever taken pictures of my minis, inside, at night time, using only the electric lights in my apartment - no fancy photolight, just some camera adjustments, and a 5$ IKEA white fabric box as a light box.

I've done some more work on the Daemon Host - he's almost finished, just need to greenstuff some shackles for the chains on his wrists, and some last detailing.






I've also started a Sister Repentia - she obviously needs another head, so this is just a placeholder, but I kinda like the agressive pose, and the completely over-the-top Eviscerator:




And lastly, another new character - Dmitrijs Interrogator-Acolyte, Herr Doktor Stefan Kraut (A small gesture to the always gentlemanly and nice mr. KrautScientist):



(This head plus the Tomb Wraith combo is stolen off the amazingly creative Jeff Vader from convertorum.blogspot - check out his blog, it's incredible work.)

Looking fantastic as always Guita! We amateurs salute you!
