yes it was a conscious decision to avoid the bunny ears ok the raptors. I may change my mind but for now I'm happy enough with the head choices. When I build my bikers they will be eared so to speak.

Might be a good way of adding some visual variation to the different unit types! I like it!

Oh, and I almost forgot: How about adding a flamer/weapon in the new daemon engines mouth. There should be enough room between the jaws. The Baleflamer or Hades Autocannon bit from the Heldrake comes to mind. Or a good ol' regular flamer

Another solid idea mate, I was thinking of putting something in there. Rule of cool applies though so i dont really care if it works in game

Or make it a nasty-looking plasma gun and you could use it in a game... it's a template weapon anyway so mega-flamer or plasma is not far off the mark!

Good thinking that man. Looking at it I may have to change the main tusks of the head for a weapon to fit in there. Watch this space.

Ps Meade I posted your package off this morning after I finished nightshift.

Cool,

Yeah I think if it were me I would nip off the tusks, or not put anything in there. Both ways would be cool but installing a mouth-gun would just require more work around the skull and power cabling to get it to look right.

Hmm, these are the Heldrake cannons:



I guess these would either work with very little additional changes to the skull. Or they could even (partly) replace the jaw, seeing how they basically have a jaw attached at the bottom The baleflamer one would probably look pretty cool. The Hades autocannon one just looks stupid at that small scale (especially if you compare it to the HUGE Hades Autocannons that come with the Forgefiend...

Kicking myself for missing the first 20 pages of this thread. WIll have to go back through it. Impressed w/ what I saw in the last 2 pages, will be back for more and staying current from here on out.

Thanks for the imput guys, i should hopefully have the cannons this sunday coming so I can sort out the armamament.

Skalk Bloodaxe, appreciate you dropping by buddy, a few of the older links were broken a while back to a screw up with Photobucket and i lost a lot of the images but hopefully you still liked what you see.

I agree that if you could work the baleflamer into the jaw that it would look great. How about splitting the main lower jaw, using this one in between the halves for a jaw-within-a-jaw effect?

Also, I just had what is simultaneously the best and worst idea in the history of the multiverse...SkullCaptor Sakura.

Get creative with a Valkiya the Bloody and it might just work.

I quite like the multi jaw idea mate, Ill have a look tomorrow once i get home from the club. I dont have any games planed but I am picking up a Land Raider, some bikes to convert and hopefully the parts to complete the Fiend.

Heres a very early idea for the Lasher, let me know your thoughts.

The ultimate in tentacle hahaha But in all seriousness I actually quite like it. Will there some guns to go with them? Keep up the great work

Im not sure yet mate, I have the Hades Autocannons here but I quite like the idea of just running it as a Mauler Fiend.

Thats actually quite a cool idea. I know if that was my opponent I'd be dropping a brick Any ideas for a forgefiend?

Originally I was going to use this in both roles by Magnetising the arms but I actually really like this and cant find a way to mount the cannons Im 100% happy with yet so I may yet have to build another.

Heres the Landraider I picked up today for much cheapness, it was covered and I mean literally covered in spikes so Ive spent half an hour or so removing them and thankfully the guy who built it used superglue rather than Poly Cement so there isnt much in the way of damage.

What sort of craziness would the forgefiend have and good buy. Shame the previous owner turned it into a giant spike with lascannons will there be some conversions on this?

Hmm, whilst I like the tentacles, I can't help but feel the arms are too small. He needs some proper arms.

Squigsquasher Do you mean the magna cutters? I may have a solution to that but you'll have to wait a few days yet

Nashbashem Im not sure if the Forge Fiend would follow the same pattern as the Mauler here or if Ill come up with something different. Will just have to wait and see

The Land Raider wont have any major conversion work, just a little touch here and there.Im working on it just now.

The fiend's coming along great, buddy! But I wouldn't discount the cannons just yet: Why not use the shorter "magma cutter" arms as a mount for the cannons? They are looking a little useless atm anyway

Oh, and thanks for that little pep talk you gave me! Spent the whole weekend working on my Heldrake conversion and made good headway. Yay!

Thanks buddy, I havent fully discounted the cannons yet. I am thinking ahead though

Looking at these pics of the Land Raider I am going to discount the spikes on top. Im really not happy with them. Ill see what else I can come up with although Im thinking just the skulls works for me.

my advice would be to find a way to magnetize the forgefiend if you can... it may be an extra headache but if you actually use it for a lot of games it will be worth it in the end. You've got to admit the Hades cannons are awesome little bits, but so are the tentacles...

Also I can't decide if those magna cutters are too small and look like t-rex arms or the giant tentacles balances it out.

T-rex arms just add the badassery!

Great conversions as always mate, Your chaos is one of the armies I would love to emulate one day.

Yeah part of me wants to magnetize this but the bigger part of me just wants to build a stand alone Forgefiend that I can magnetize between Plasma/Hades. I have a few ideas brewing for it so Im going to leave this as is for now, I havent glued the tentacles or Magma cutters yet. I have to say I like the T Rex look of the arms as it fits the fluff of the Fiend pulling prey in close and then opening them up with the Magma cutters

Sheep, thanks man that really does mean a lot. I just wish I could paint as well as you

Took a couple more pics while I had the time.

Its starting to look a lot like an army
Family portrait

Squad Krixus

Squad Khorda

Squad Razel

Terminator Squad Myrmax

Random Standard Bearer I threw together

The 'Walkers', Gorehound, Blood Stalker, Lasher Fiend, Voorhees the Relentless and Krueger the Undying

Kinda surprised Voorhees doesn't have a modified Grey Knights libby-dread DCCW- you know, for the 'machete' stylings.

I like your thinking, I REALLY like your thinking

Fantastic army, Bio. Great to see them all together. Makes me want to build a chaos army....

Loving the lasher, especially the necrosphinx head! My only comment would be to have some of the lashes heading forwards instead of all of them away (i.e. about to lash the tar out of someone) Does that make sense?

Just found this thread and like what I'm seeing.

One thing that does seem a little off is how straight the Lasher Fiend's legs are. I think it would look a lot more aggressive and menacing if the legs were bent more like the counts-as Defiler's stance.

Or maybe its just the camera angle, not sure.

just my $.02, and now back to lurking.

Man that Defiler is mental! Very cool. My own one is being moth balled for now :,( unfortunately i have 3 tournies in march/april all using my Necrons and I have barely painted anything so everything else has gone back into the cupboard for now.

Keep up the good work. When I pull the defiler out of storage I need your ideas to use

That army of yours is really looking more and more spectacular all the time, buddy! Colour me jealous!

I especially like the fact that pretty much every model in your army is custom-built! Truly awesome stuff!
