SquigBait Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I am thuroughly impressed. I have been following in the shadows for a while now like stink on, well, you know... This has given me so much inspiration for my pending lost and damned army once I get my current large scale project done (a world war 1 themed IG army)... I especially love what you have done with the vents! The putrid glory of it all is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucrosium Malice Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Cadaver, I have been meaning to post in here for a long time. Its sad when your so lazy you don't even type, but I digress. This stuff looks awesome and is one of my favorite motivating posts for getting to work on my nurgle themed army. The green stuff really sells it. It looks amazing yet fairly easy to do with a little patience. Please keep us posted I love looking at this stuff! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Cadaver_ Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hey guys, thanks again for all the comments. :) I've done a little more work on the second defiler, but as expected GTA4 has claimed alot of my free time over the past week. Not to say I haven't done anything though. Nothing really photo worthy but I did a bit of greenstuff work on my landraider (just adding stuff around the vents on the back I've put off for quite awhile), built and greenstuffed the alternate turret for my 1st predator and based my Daemon Prince(just need to finish the head on this guy). I've also primed the Defiler, Pred and LR and will probably go on a vehicle painting frenzy this weekend, time permitting. Also, just to get people all worked up, I've had a very strong urge to start the baneblade lately. It's driving me crazy just having it sit on sprue in it's box. I can't promise anything but having a little lack of enthusiasm for the second defiler at the moment and pretty much knowing exactly how I want the plaguereaper is really tempting me to get to work on it. I've tried to focus more on painting lately but that plaguereaper's a callin'. No promises but I'll try and either get some major painting progress or plaguereaper work done over the weekend. Maybe a bit of both. ;) Edit: I forgot to mention, there's a Tau Online exclusive thread of my GUO commission by my co-mod waargh. If anyone wants to check out the progress you can view it here.

_Cadaver_ Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Unfortunately, I wasn't in much of a painting mood this weekend. I did however get to work on a little something... Still very WIP but here it is: http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard105.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard106.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard107.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard108.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard109.jpg And here's some WIP vents. Still deciding on there placement. but this is probably where I'll be adding them. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard110.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard111.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucrosium Malice Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hey Cadaver, can you get a shot of the front left headlight? Sort of a close up like you did of the beat up armor plates holding the . . . puss . . . stuff in. That looks really awesome, but I would love to see a close up of the headlight. Otherwise it looks great! I keep staring at the box at my local store, but I have yet to even attempt a game of Apocalypse so I can't "validate" purchasing one right now. EDIT: You know in that first shot I think I see a TV on in the background with the 360 screen up. Still playing GTA IV? :D I know I am. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend came over who hadn't played it yet and I let him run around for awhile and he spent all my money and lost all my weapons. ;) I had to spend some time to get things back on track.

_Cadaver_ Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Well, I have a little update to report. I was diligently working on my raptors when a good for nothing friend called me and I continued to try and drill with my pin vice while talking on my cellphone. My hand slipped and I gouged a hole right under my thumbnail, which bled like crazy and hurt like hell. So I decided to call it a day on the converting. I do have some pics although I was hoping to post pics of the Raptors after they were completely finished. My Death Guard raptors are renamed Reapers and have a bit of a grim reaper feel to them(hence the name.) I greenstuffed a hood for one and I think like them better without hoods, they look a bit creepier. They will all be carrying scythes for CCWs except the champ. The champ will be based off a standard Raptor champion. squad minus champ http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard112.jpg nurgely bits http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard113.jpg Wings(only got 3 done before my injury B)) http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard115.jpg The other day I painted up a PM in an alternate scheme just to see what it would look like. It's pretty cool, I think, although it's a bit rushed as it was just a test mini. I really like the streak method I used on the armor as well as the rust rather than metallics. The weathered armor and purple and green glazes turned out alright, I think. The purple glaze much more visible than the green in these pics. I'm going to experiment on using these techniques on my regular PMs in the normal colors and maybe combine the rust effect with the metallic armor trim on my PMs. I'm contemplating using this paint scheme for my chosen. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard116.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard117.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard118.jpg C&C welcome. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I LOVE those Raptors! Would pieces did you use, if you don't mind me asking? Also, the paint job is nice, the green and white look a bit too clean though. I'd suggest inking before throwing the colors on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Plasticard Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 That is so stolen! BT robes with spawn dead wings, and where are the skulls from? Nice job!

Hell-G Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 oooh! I love your raptors.... they looks really nice ;) . Cant wait to see them painted. Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cadaver_ Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks for the replies. The Raptor wings are spawn bits. The heads are from various trophy racks, chains etc. pinned on the bottom so they kind of float in the air when you look at them straight on. I'll get up a pic of a greenstuffed hood to see what people think about the hooded version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cadaver_ Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've been pretty busy working on stuff but I've been lazy about posting updates, so I thought it was about time I posted up some of the progress I've made. Reapers/Raptors: More or less finished. I need to do a few detail bits but nothing major. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard119.jpg WIP Aspiring Champion converted from Chaplain Cassius(apologies for the horribly blurry pic): http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/lonestarcody/DeathGuard121.jpg My ForgeWorld Death Guard troops. The guns aren't glued in place yet, nor have the backpacks been attached. Those will be added after painting. I did these without using greenstuff on the plastic parts. Instead I wanted to make the armor corroded more in line with the FW bits. I drilled random holes of various sizes and distressed them with an exacto knife and then added tiny holes with a push pin. It turned out pretty well even though it was much more time consuming than greenstuff would've been.

Brother Plasticard Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Looking good! The raptors do look very convincing. The aspiring champion is too blurry to see any detail, but from the blotches of color it looks very interesting! Finally, you can't go wrong with the conversion kit ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
