Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

[Sersi]

Okay....stuff:

 

 

 

Worked on the Gluttons yesterday:

 

- sculpted better flowing loincloths, with wrinkles and stuff.

- added liberal piercings and welts from daemonette whips.

 

Oh and I did this conversion...

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51192_md-.jpg

 

I also buffed up the banner bearers:

I'm also thinking of making a few more running Gluttons.

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/8/29/50349_md-.jpg

 

They just look cool. Just imagine that huge hoof coming down crushing a guardsman's torso under foot. If Ogre kingdoms didn't suck so bad I'd do a tricked out army. I still may...imagine one punching out a Brettans horse? :)

 

 

Imps of Slaanesh:

 

 

I also started working on the new bodies for these imps of Slaanesh. They're kinda look like flying monkeys, so they'll have tiny vestigial wings.

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51189_md-.jpg

 

See, told ya these things were tiny. How large is the nurgling base? I was thinking of putting 3 on a 40 mm base squabbling over some treasure of some sort. With the huge grasping hands on the models, they could represent greed fairly well.

 

 

Pleasureseekers:

 

These are finally done. They just need a little sanding and some paint. Here's an example of the finished conversions.

[Sersi]

I also worked on the Daemon Princesses, cleaning them up and working on the variant heads. I'm working on GS hair today. I'm excited though ordered some more silicon rubber, I want to get them molded and cast this weekend. If all goes well they be available for sale next week...PM if interested!

 

 

Daemon Princess #1

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51194_md-.jpg

 

Things to do:

 

- this head variant will be pretty close to the FW keepers horn arrangement.

- the body is pretty much done except for some rivets on the armor, I haven't decided whether or not to engrave the individual armor plates.

- I still need to smooth out the wing joins and sculpt the neck...30 minutes tops.

- her crotch is exposed. Does she need a loincloth as well?

 

Daemon Princess #2

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51193_md-Daemon%20Princess,%20Daemons,%20Slaanesh,%20Slaaneshi.jpg

 

Things to do:

 

- needs engraving on the arm and leg bands.

- needs a few more BS rivets on the left arm and right leg.

- the forward swept horns on the head will be complemented with a more prominent nose, and long flowing anime- style hair.

 

 

Daemon Princess #3

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51191_md-.jpg

 

Things to do:

 

- finished the sword, and beefed up the handle on it.

- re-sculpted the right shoulder and tweaked the arm for better anatomy and proportion. Still need to fix the elbow.

- will be re-sculpting the right hand to be more expressive.

- this variant head will be screaming...or moaning in ecstasy... or something... Its will have the single horn and tentacle hair of the Juan Diaz daemonettes. Don't worry I'm still working on the mouth, which will also have teeth.

 

Should i change the face to look more like the beak of the Diaz daemonettes?

 

 

 

All the head together as the are now:

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51199_md-Daemon%20Prince,%20Daemon%20Princess,%20Daemons,%20Slaanesh,%20Slaaneshi.jpg

 

 

If anyone has a suggestion regarding the hairdos let me know. The kit will include at least one bald head to ya can do you own hair style in GS.

 

 

 

More later....

[Drudge Dreadnought]

I think the heads are looking good, but the features on the faces are feeling a bit too large to me, mainly the mouths. You have a great grasp of anatomy so i'm sure you know this and its just a limitation of working at this small of a size. I think there are things you can do to lessen the effect however. Have you considered putting armor on the heads? Not full helmets, but something like partial masks, veils, or crowns? The goal of these wouldn't be to cover the face, but to frame the features a bit more.

[Sersi]

Hey thank for the comment. Yeah the features seem large particulaly the eyes and mouths. Those were intentional. The eyes are saucer-like just like the new and 2nd edition daemonettes. The mouths are larger cause thery're the most sexual part of the face...ewe! Still I don't want them to look deformed I will look at maybe toning it down a bit.

[Sersi]

I've been working on the first grinder and DP heads & hair. Here's a teaser on the DP's:

 

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/7/52098_md-.jpg

 

 

I'll be posting more when I get back from the movies. I' molding tonight so I'll take pics of that as well.

 

 

later!

[Sersi]

Updates:

 

Daemon Princesses:

 

I don't know about putting hair on this one, so I'll need feed back.

This one has flowing hair, and will have hair ornaments when done. She's also getting a new less pouty face, or maybe having no nose or mouth is creeper?

Soul Grinder # 1

 

Okay here's sculpted leg in the mold box. I should have cast tomorrow.

Here are two photo composites of what she looks like with the sculpted legs.

Soul Grinder #2

 

Here the final mechanical leg base for the pregnant grinder

Here's the start of the build up.

Grinder #3

 

For grinder #3 I decided to re-purpose this guy. He's going to be a huge KOS style daemon counts as.

More Later!

[Sersi]

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

 

Soul Grinder #3

 

Here's more progress on the KOS - grinder stand in. He's being based off this image:

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/24/29466_md-.jpg

 

 

I'm using super sculpey to quickly build up the anatomy of the model. Once baked I'll be skinning it with Aves apoxy putty and detailing it.

 

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/11/52795_md-.jpg

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/11/52796_md-.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

Soul Grinder #1

 

Worked on the pregnant SG as well. I'm baking the shoulders and ribcage at the moment so that I can drill the holes for the arms, and start work on them. I also started work on the mechanical legs for her mobile. The black lines on the model are there to indicate the locations of the various muscle groups.

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/11/52797_md-.jpg

 

 

 

Soul Grinder #2

 

I finished casting up the her legs this morning for the 6-legged SG. I'll be working on the body and head to day. So, she's coming along fast, and will definitely be done this weekend. I have to say she looks much better in life than in my sketches. The sexy, spider, ballerina nature of the legs is pretty creepy; and fan service triple crotch shot will doubtlessly disturb many, as well...yeah! ;)

 

Daemon Princess:

 

I didn't get much feedback regarding the heads or hair on them. But I'd like some suggestions on adding some nice final details to them. I want them to look sexy rather than gribbly. But, looking at the GW greater daemons, they seem a little under detailed at the moment.

 

 

 

Anyway I have to get ready for work. Happy Friday!

[pabh]

This is some phenomenal work. Duly subscribed.

[dogfender]

So Sersi, Im not entirely sure why bubbles attatched to the outside of my model while making a cast. But I did some research, and a lot of companies actually suck the air out of the silicon b4 they even pour it to make the mold, so in trying to vacuum the air after it was already poured, it caused tiny bubbles to gather and cling to the surface of the model. but then i have to ask, if you do it that way, why dont you have tiny bubbles too?

Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been working 12-16 hr days for the last week. Are vacuuming the silicon or pressurizing your molds? I always evacuate the rubber twice. Once before I pour the mold and once after. What's the working time for your silicon? If its starting to setup befor you can completely evacuate the rubber you'll get bubbles.

[Sersi]

Okay, progress!

 

First here is the second KOS:

 

I've completely bulked him out in sculpey as much as needed to. I'll be switching gray-tinted Aves Fixit Sculpt next. The claws you see on the model were originally intended for the Daemon Princess models, and are just place holders. They far to small compared to my reference image, and will be replaced later. The feet are from the WF Giant model and are also to small, so I'll be re-sculpting on those too.

Here it is scaled against the FW KOS.

[Sersi]

And here is my Progress with the pregnant Soul Grinder:

 

She's been fun to sculpt, working out the anatomy so that the chest and arms could actually work resulted in two sets of pectoral muscles, which ofcourse justifies a second set of breasts, no? :)

Here the model is scaled against a the 6.5 inch tall FW KOS model:

Sorry, its a bit blurry.

[Sersi]

Finally, because a few people asked here's some scaling shots of the Daemon Princesses and a group shot of the larger models in the army.

 

 

Daemon Princesses first. Note that the FW KOS is 6.5 inches tall, while the IG model is 1 inch tall.

[Vassakov]

One of the most genius, impressive, dedicated and horrific logs I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The attention to detail, sculpting skill and willingness not to compromise the vision of your models and the nature of Slanneshi troops is awe inspiring. I can't really say much more.

[Sersi]

Whoops...I thought I posted this this morning!

 

 

So, I worked on the big boy some more last night. With his hunched over pose he's approximately 14.5 cm tall, if he were standing erect he'd be around 20 cm. At this point I've skinned him with Aves Fixit Sculpt, so he's rock solid. I've enlarged the feet and replaced the claws with a far larger set; to better match the reference. Hopefully they look alright, if not let me know. He's also had his horns blocked in and his head started.

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/14/53339_md-.jpg

 

 

Here's another comparison with the FW KOS. It should be easier to see now that he's more of a neutral gray.

I've actually quite a bit further along than this now...so more pics tonight.

[Kaldoth]

This is by far THE best Slaanesh army I have ever seen in all my years of 40k. It's literally mind blowing. I cannot wait to see the final product. I only have two criticisms on the ladies' different heads. 1. They need teeth! 2. Their noses look a bit flat, more statuesque than anything. I'd like to see the bridges of their noses a little more rounded. But other than that, I love em. Consider me hooked :(

 

Cheers,

-Kal

[Sersi]

Kaldoth

 

Thanks! My goal with this army was to really push myself to try new things and not settle for anything less than my vision of the it.

 

 

Okay the new stuffs!

Here's another Daemon Princess Head, with a re-sculpted face and smaller chin.

I also started casting 60mm bases for the Gluttons, it only costs me pennies to do vs the $10 for 1 from GW. Shocking! ^_^

 

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/16/53701_md-.jpg

 

 

Here's a Picture of all the molds I've made for this army. That's about $200 worth of silicon rubber.

[shinigami]

:tu: your army leaves me breathless.....

[Terrible_Trygon]

That mega Keeper of Secrets is epic, that new Princess head is awesome, and I love you.

[Axel Slice]

Very, very impressive. the scope of converting not only a whole army, but such a large one is immense but you obviously have the skill and dedication to pull it off, so i'll be watching with interest.

[Dark Lord Jim]

Simply amazing! The step by step info on modeling is really helpful, especially as I have wanted to start scratch building for a while. Your army is staggering, by far the best conversions throughout an entire army I have ever seen. I can't wait to see these painted :D

 

Jim

[Sersi]

Hi All! This is going to be a post. I've gotten allot done ins the last few days but haven't had time to get the pics organized and posted.

 

 

 

 

FW KOS:

 

Here I've replaced all of the GS putty studs on the leggings and arm with ball bearings and chromed glass beads. I still have to make a new symbol for her staff and need to re-attach the whip otherwise she's done.

Scratch built Keeper of Secrets:

 

I should have this guy all massed out today. I've left the hand and arms undeveloped at the wrists and fingers as I've not finalized the pose yet. I'm also trying to keep him generic looking to avoid IP issues if I decided to sell him. He'll probably have hand that can e swapped out, and possibly a head swap as well.

 

These are from two days ago:

And finally the current head WIP. I'm trying something a bit different here by starting with the skull and building upto the moaning head.

[cathar the great]

So disturbing! But totally mindblowing! This army will be kicking once done. You have a very wicked imagination! ^^
