GuitaRasmus Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks a lot! I am really enjoying this project too, and use pretty much every spare minute on it. :) There won't be any paint on them before they're all done, though... I've decided to build the entire army, and paint them all afterwards - I'm going to use a lot of airbrush, and batch painting will save a lot of cleaning the airbrush between colours.

GuitaRasmus Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I messed around in PS with my army list, just for fun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetdestroyer Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Brilliant stuff man. I feel, to be more thematic, 8 plague marines (assuming you'll be converting them in the same vein as the lord) would be more "binary", and since 8 is a 3-bit number you won't even end up displeasing the Plaguefather :P \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks! Actually, there's a very pragmatic reason to why there are 6 models in that unit - they're going to be based on the FW thallax cohort, and they are sold by packs of 3. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkin Arenis Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 These are beautiful conversions, sir! I especially love your Hellbrutes! However, my smallest niggle with your Forgefiend is the fact that his kneepads are on the wrong legs Other than that, if your Death Guard are anything to go by, this is going to be good! Stellar work so far, sir! Eagerly awaiting more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Thanks a lot. :) I've played a few games, and I feel like I wanted to change up a few things - this is the new list: So these questions remain: 1) How do I make an awesome biker lord that looks great with my evil wheels? 2) I'm going to use Thallax cohort for my noise marines - what do I about terminators then? Any inspiration, links or thoughts are welcomed! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston10K Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Amazing, just purly amazing! I love all of the minis! Your builds are well thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemid Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Could you make a Lord who has somehow merged with his wheel(s)? Maybe he's fused into his bike, hovering or stealing a Necron Destroyer platform kind of thing isn't a bad idea, or something more along the lines of Axel from Twisted Metal, but suitably Chaosified? http://coffey.polygonized.com/picture_library/AxelA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungWolf7 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I would go with an over the top version of your monowheels to keep the theme going. Have the Lord fused into the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Glory to the dark Gods! I loved your DG stuff but these are simply beyond words... The hell squid and the mono wheels are simply brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks a lot guys! Man, this bike lord is a difficult concept to pull off - I've made a VERY rough mockup, and could really use some opinions - am I on the right track, or should I go another route?

Aqui Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I like the large wheel concept, but not sure of the "side car". I was thinking something more of a Chaos version of: http://www.hasbro.com/common/productimages/en_US/e5e7a7595056900b10e5b133bee2ffe7/E6080EB95056900B109739CF5C0332EB.jpg Or http://www.geekalerts.com/u/Officially-Licensed-Star-Wars-Hailfire-Droid-RC-Vehicle.jpg Still, you did say it's a very rough mock up, so I'll see what it looks like when you've refined it In any case, I love everything you've done so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungWolf7 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Now that I have a better sense of scale I can see your difficulty. Having a wheel on either side with him suspended in between would work better, although the side car concept is definitely a unique vision. Having two wheels angled like the Hailfire Droid would allow a better view of the Lord for viewers (and make it easier to paint!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassionFruit Power Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 use what I am going to use for a biker lord, its very big and very awesomehttp://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440111a&prodId=prod1870062a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cirrius Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's very possible that this is the concept you already had in mind, but the first thing that I thought of was that the wheel was somehow an extension of the champions body. I sort of imagine that, through a gruesome combination of chaotic mutation and mechanical augmentation, The champions arm has been somehow fused with massive wheel. Idk, just a thought. There are plenty of routes you could take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mors Vincit Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Have you thought about something like the terminator motorcycle That would look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlordEXE Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 what did you use for the legs on the hellbrutes? I've been meaning to convert mine into a chaos contemptor and you definitely got the look going with those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch@oZ Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well, You could go the monowheel route- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:One_wheel_motorcycle_Goventosa.jpg, a mid-turn/slide position would be very dynamic. On the other hand the bike he's currently standing on would make an awesome chopper, two front wheels included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassionFruit Power Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 yeah should of thought of that still with some maulerfiend bits it could be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Without the bigger wheel the smaller bike could quite possibly be made really really nice, I'm thinking the lord in a "reaver jetbike" position... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
