Daemonclaws works now with added pustules and alphas

[Skrundle87]

I like SIM1AN how did you make the right arm?

[Brother Ambroz]

Great work! I really want to know where that head is from as well. :P

[deathspectersgt7]

SIM1AN is really cool. And the Wolves Rock!!!!!!!

[Forté]

Like the helbrute kit bashes. Putting extra life into them.

[KrautScientist]

Aw, man, using that skull (I am guessing Necrosphinx, although it might be from somewhere else...) on the Brute is an amazing idea!

Why is everyone coming up with those awesome DV Helbrute conversions, now that I've finally started to paint my own, nearly unconverted version? Talk about bad timing

[daemonclaw]

thanx guys

and the cookie goes to.........

KrautScientist@

it is indeed from the necrosphynx i would paste a link but my laptop doesnt want to access games-workshop site at the moment

and after the initial calls of the DV kits being pretty unconvertable i have found them to be quite flexible with a little effort and being plastic it is a more forgiving medium than metals and failcast imho.and seeing some of the conversions out there it seems many others have found the same conclusion,also i am sure you could pick one up cheap off ebay if you want to do another conversion

skrundle87@the left arm is a conversion of the basic DV fist and the right is from the new kit,its crazy that after putting the new guy together i had parts to continue SIM1AN

thanx again guys for the inspiring comments

[Biohazard]

Ahhh I see it now. Kudos to you sir on an almost seamless conversion adding the lower jaw. I thought it was a one piece head.

[KrautScientist]

Ah, that's the beauty of it: It looks like he added a lower jaw from one of those Ogre kingdoms beartraps :)

and right again

you need to watch your virtual waistline with all those internet cookies sir

thanx for the replies guys

[KrautScientist]

Hah, watching my waistline seems to be a lost cause, anyway, so keep those internet cookies coming ;)

 

It is a really clever conversion, though, because it appears so natural: The lower jaw is a great fit, even though both bits come from wildly different armies ;)

 

Seeing how you seem to own the new Helbrute kit, btw, any chance of a photo of the various head options from that kit, at least the other ones that you didn't use? I'd be immensely interested in seeing them unpainted and away from the Helbrute carapace!

strange how this hobby seems to affect our waistlines

and as requested here are the heads

hope it helps and cheers for the comments again

[KrautScientist]

Aw, mate, that is so awesome of you, thanks a lot! The only missing one is the one you actually used on your Helbrute, right?

 

As for the heads themselves, they are really cool! Unfortunately, though, even though they use the same ball socket as the regular CSM heads, they are too bulky to be used for anything but Helbrutes -- Termies, maybe, but only with a fair bit of cutting. And am I correct that the two bare, noseless heads are completely identical? And head 12 is basically heads 11 and 15/16 spliced together, by the look of it.

 

Anyway, thanks a bunch! That was supremely helpful!

[daemonclaw]

no problem sir ,yes the missing one is in the made up helbrute

with the first two bare heads they are really incredibly similar but the one on the right is slightly angrier with a more closed mouth(but very slightly)

to be honest i thought they could have made a bit more of a change between the two but hey i love the fact chaos got something new

i was also hoping to be able to use the other heads but as you pointed out there is a bit of work to do on them

but to finish on a positive i for one think it is one of the better kits GW have done in a long time for 40k besides the knight

cheers

[daemonclaw]

hey all back with some more brute work

now the question is do i go with the loincloth

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/DSCN9776_zpscf21b070.jpg

or without

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/DSCN9777_zps0316d5de.jpg

and heres the first bloodclaws

they still need tidying up and more work on the snow as i cant seem to get it right

and of course the illusive backpacks

cheers DC

[helterskelter]

I'd say without, it might get in the way of its smashing of things/people

[deathspectersgt7]

With. Claws

[KrautScientist]

While I'm a huge fan of decorative bitz, I'd definitely say 'without' in this case: It's a better fit for the model's overall, bestial appearance.

 

Nice Wolves, btw :)

[El-Diablo]

Without I think, though i'd be tempted to add a loose pipe or piece of chain coming from the groin area, nothing huge, but a bit more small detail there would finish it off nicely.

when i first read that bit about loose pipe from groin area it immediately bought to mind old slaanesh marines

thanx for the comments and valuable input guys ,i think krautscientist hit the nail on the head with the bestial appearance.i may look into something like midian suggested as i want something different to the same overused imho groinplate .

i did a bit of greenwork on SIM1ON though not the best pic

cheers all DC

[Darth Mustard]

really like what you've got going on with these last 2 models

[chaplain mortis]

Those last 2 models are creepy..just creepy! With stuff like that, who would want to turn to chaos haha

Great stuff again mate!

[daemonclaw]

sweet dreams and thanx for looking

[helterskelter]

Are you clive Barker? Were you possibly involved in resident evil? Need more!! Can't wait for the paint

[deathspectersgt7]

COOL !!!! Did you cast the claw and legs?

[daemonclaw]

helterskelter@ i have read a lot of clive barker a few years ago,and have visited racoon city more times than i have had hot dinners i guess some of it must have rubbed off

deathspectersgt7@ yes bits are rare when you need them soooo the legs were cast from the forgefiends melta arm and the claws from the helturkey (sorry heldrake )

thanx for the comments guys
