These two and the cyber scorpion are simply two of the most fantastic miniatures I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

I love the idea that the cyber scorpion is a detachable part of her nervous system.

Are we going to get to see some of the Toymakers toys any time soon?

I made quite a few of those skull headed nurgling cherubs, but other people have since made them better and faster. I don't like making models that other people have seen before so although I do have one of the little dolls painted he is sat in my cabinet in disgrace (along with the swineotaur, who I am also not very pleased with).

I will try and revisit them and salvage them at some point but at the moment I am really excited about the Silica Animus which I think is going to be great.

Here is a photo from the weekend's gaming:



Dark Mechanicus escape the the Adeptus Mechanicus kill-team, Arco-Evisorators engage in bloody combat with Geist servitors, electro-whips versus chainsaws. Servitors nearby go berserk as they are infected by scrap-code commands and the Evisorators are forced to hack them apart. The Venator himself commandeers a construction vehicle to try and block the road but the hereteks drive through the melee, crushing some unfortunate scribes as they make their getaway.

Great looking image! Right in the thick of it, just where it should be! I'm curious, Bruticus; what game rules do you use?

We were using Inquisitor rules, in 28mm scale. I'm more of a Necromunda player usually though, but Inquisitor is fun too if there are patient GMs.

Really cool conversions! Very inspiring! Thx for sharing

Those buggies look cool great atmosphere in that shot. The scrap code possession by the Campanile is one of the eeriest shorts in Mark of Calth.

Whoa! Those floating chubby buggies really look scary as hell! Dark Mechanicus at its best.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love that image. Your style brings out so much menace and dread to these miniatures. More grimdark than grimdark.

"They say I 'fell to Chaos', as if I were a weak man! Look around you, look at my great works! I alone have the strength to accomplish these things, these acts of illimitable obscenity! And there are worlds like this now, whole worlds, made beautiful by my own hand! I did not fall to Chaos, I rose to it!" - Prince Orlat Vor, The Sin-Eater

Orlat Vor, the self-styled Sin-Eater, The Cannibal Prince of Slaanesh. He is known as the Sin-Eater because he believes that by consuming the wicked he inherits their sins. The more evil the person he eats, the greater the power he gains and the more favour he gains in the eyes of the Prince of Pleasure. Slaanesh is the god of all excesses, and so Vor has adopted gluttony as his personal form of worship. He has eaten so much that he can no longer walk easily and so uses a mechanical palanquin to move, and his twin lightning claws are clumsy and slow weapons, used with brute force. Vor is immensely wealthy and will provide the resources of his fleet and armies to any cause or champion he deems the most corrupt or vile. Sooner or later, everyone that requires his services must pay, and his only price is flesh. The forces of Chaos in the Profundis sector are thought to be largely sponsored by Vor, and his flagship "The Sardanapalian" is frequently involved in the conflict, seemingly spurring on greater atrocities.

Great work on that Greasus Goldtooth model and rather appropriate for a Lord of Slaanesh part of me thinks some form of firearm or even better digital weapon rings would fit him more than Lightning Claws

Wow, nice one!

A particularly vile and repulsive looking character, really fits his description.

An excellent model, looking forward to seeing it painted.

I assume his corpulentness requires the assistance of a number of body guards, have you got anything planned in that regard?

There's two reasons for the lightning claws really, one is that they are the closest weapons to a knife and fork, the other is that it's almost impossible to find arms that would suit his build - ogre arms have too big hands and most bits are too muscled anyway. Using giant fist weapons is a bit of a cheat as they look in proportion.

I have a few people to accompany him, there is the Slaanesh marine I made earlier for one. I think he won't be the brains of this operation though, and the evil mastermind that has enlisted the aid of the Sin Eater (and whose flesh is supposedly forfeit) is yet to come.

So gross! Love the background. Is that a powdered wig on his head? I hope so.

Hey may need a minotaur guard:

Yeah it's a powdered wig, he'll have the whole dandy face powder and makeup too if I can paint it well enough. I think he's pretty vain. That picture does bear a resemblance but I think he'll have to have some smaller guys with him to balance out the retinue somewhat

That dude is amazing. Great build, through concept, use of bitz and final product that guy rules.

Great job Bruticus. Nice build. He looks really unhealthy.

Ah yeah, that Slaanesh marine you created is excellent.

Looking forward to seeing the mastermind.

Two questions:

a) Who made that picture (is it Adrian Smith?)

b) Where is it from?

That's Adrian Smith, no idea where it was first published.

Another new guy:



This is my villain, an Inquisitor turned heretic. You can't tell from the image so clearly but the guy at his feet is dissolving. There is a heavy price for reading from the Pseudomonarchia Slaanesh, and it is not a price the former inquisitor is willing to pay himself. He is summoning the Daemonhost seen earlier in the thread.

I've had this model half finished since the day the Dark Elf corsair first came out but I couldn't get his left hand right, finally found the part that made it work the other day. I have lots of miniatures in this sort of state and sometimes inspiration hits and I actually finish them.

Very nice! The fish jaw collar works great with the hood, and I look forward to seeing how you'll paint the dissolving guy.

The Adrian Smith obese champion piece is definitely from one of the Realm of Chaos books, I *think* from Lost and the Damned and not Slaves to Darkness despite the Slaanesh subject matter.

I'm quite impressed that a guy that fat could be armed with lightning claws. The heretic Inquisitor looks great, too.

Delightful! Slaanesh be praised.

After seeing all the cool Realm of Chaos stuff recently I couldn't resist making a mortal champion of Slaanesh. He is intended to be a fantasy character rather than 40k, my first attempt at one of those. His armour might look a bit futuristic but I think it looks fine, if a bit elaborate. I need to smooth some surfaces down slightly.



My original idea was to paint the cloak as gemstones but now I am not so sure. I am a bit undecided on a colour scheme overall, I don't want him to look like a Necron so I think silver is out.

I'm actually doing some more Fantasy stuff next, with a Mordheim gang. But this guy is really just a one-off.

Aw, man, that Slaaneshi champ is totally fantastic! Like an 80s RoC mini realised with today's technology!

Stop being so awesome, dammit!

Thanks, I am happy that he looks like an 80s RoC miniature because I certainly took some inspiration from those guys, they were some of my first miniatures back in the day, and I always liked how they were both 40k and Fantasy at the same time.

By the way, just saw your miniature in the Visions magazine, good stuff there Kraut.

Thanks, mate! I've been walking on sunshine ever since turning the page and happening upon my model in Blanchitsu yesterday. Finally one of the grownups now

Wow, surprised I missed this thread until now. Really brilliant stuff. I love all your conversions and the new cannibal prince is so creepy and awesome. Subscribed!

Wow... I spent a good few hours just killing time going through this whole blog. Not only is the scope of everything impressive, but the models and paintjobs are a lot of fun to watch as they develop.

Now I'm thoroughly addicted, and am looking forward to more stuff!

I think everyone has a soft spot for Inquisimunda/Necromunda/etc sort of games, as it really lets us go crazy with conversions, and the number of models is thankfully small, so painting doesn't become some crazy leaden goal.

Excellent work, and the terrain boards are just killer.
