So its been while since I have done a lot of modelling, and even longer since I last posted anything, so now that I am regularly working on stuff again, I figured I would share what I have with you guys so far. Both of these started with 6th ed and the New codex:
I was originally inspired by Warhammer In Progres's nurgle obliterators, and wanted to do something equally unique for my own. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do, and finally I decided to move forward on the project when I picked up GSI's tentacle maker.
As you can see i decided to go with juggernauts as the main bodies.I wasn't sure at first about using the hoofed feet, but then actually go fairly nicely and don't look too flimsy. I did for sure know that I didn't want to use the juggernaut heads tho, I wanted them to still be Space Marines, just grossly mutated, so I plan on using regular sized heads, which I think might give an awesome impression of armored bulk since they will be soo small. I still need to add a tabard to the fronts, and convert the arms. Also I am going to try putting a khorne symbol on the chestplate and adding terminator-esque vents to the backs.
Also, with the advent of 6th Edition, I wanted a Skulltaker to play with my demon allies, obviously he was going to be on a juggernaut, but I didn't want to go the traditional routes of having him riding the bucking bronco pose, or just standing next to the juggernaut. Also, I changed him up a bit to fit with my other bloodletters.
The picture isn't the best since I still have it in pieces and the metal jugger isn't a very balanced model.
What do you guys think? As always you can find some more pictures @myblog
