Guest Herald of Desolation Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I love your obliterator work. Seeing obliterator conversions make the Dark Mechanicus Magi in me smile. If I could smile. Can mechandrite mouth tenacles smile? Regardless, excellent work. Obliterator conversions by far, when done properly, are some of the best 40k conversions out there. And you, my Slaaneshi brother, have made some good ones.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks guys :confused: I'm not sure if i'm painting this one or building the third oblit first. Guess we'll find out.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 My work on the 3rd oblit has been slowed down due to a lack of tools. I'm trying to do some arm reposes, but for that i need to cut them and my knife and clippers just won't do the job. So he's on hold until i go pick up a saw. In the meantime i'm continuing preliminary work on the first defiler. I'm starting with the power scourge DCCW. The way it comes in the kit is pretty static and boring, so i'm re-building pretty much the whole thing. You can see how it looks normally, and the beginning of my re-build. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/PowerScourgeWIP01.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/PowerScourgeWIP02.jpg By the time i'm done it should be totally brutal. Also in recent news, i'm about to go basecoat the 2nd oblit. Should have some painting wips of him soonish.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Painting on the second oblit is well underway. I have the cloak, plasma cannon, some cables, and the base left to go. Here's a couple shots of the angles that are finished. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit2PaintWip02.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit2PaintWip01.jpg I think his twin linked plasma pistols have come out much cooler than the first guy's. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow or the day after in daylight.

Dan The Deamon Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 are you going to do all the oblits in the same color scheme? This one looks great. Any ideas on what color the plasma coils are going to be?

Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yes, they are going to be the same scheme since i run them as a 3 man squad. The plasma coils will be silver with the old blue ink wash, same as the coils on the pistol and the powerfist powercable. It doesn't photograph well but its a great, shiny, almost glowing electric blue. I will probably then do some white highlights though since its such a large area.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well its been awhile as usual, but here's a fairly large update. First up, the second obliterator is finished. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit2Fin01.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit2Fin02.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit2Fin03.jpg Then we've got another sonic blaster finished, and a second almost finished. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/SB5Fin1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/SB5Fin2.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/SB6Wip1.jpg And lastly we have a very wip third obliterator. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Oblit3Wip01.jpg The arm repose on this third oblit has been very difficult, as it is my first time doing such a thing. I'm going for a relaxed sniper's pose. Still need a lot of wire, greenstuff, and plasticard work. Let me know what you think!

smallvictory Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 First time seeing this thread and I really dig your take on the Oblits. Great work with the wire as well, I'm about to embark on my own customm obliterator, please consider it a compliment when I steal that idea. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167968-perfect-enough-flawless-host-wip-log/page/4/#findComment-2215462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Likewise, this is also my first time seeing this thread. I have to say, I love your conversions! Also, your photo taking has greatly improved ;) making it easier on the eyes for everyone. I like the third obliterator.

hendrik Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 could you post a picture of the third obliterator compared to the others? somehow he seems a bit smaller?

tortoise Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 As it looks like this might turn into the thread for this whole project i want to start by giving a shoutout to tortoise who's amazing EC have inspired me to try this. I hope he doesn't mind me stealing several of his ideas. Check out his blog here http://warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155488. I don't mind at all mate- In fact I'm very pleased I helped inspire this stunning army. It makes me want to get right back into doing my own EC. Unfortunately right now I just can't devote any time to painting at all. Its all excellent but the obliterators are the standout for me.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Well its been a long time. First finals, then holidays, then settling into new classes and spending most of my creative energy on various writing projects. But now I am happy to announce that this project is resuming! Progress has been made since i last updated. I have switched the list slightly, changing to 3 6 man squads instead of 2 8 man. All the marines are fully assembled except the 3rd doom siren champion. Both defilers are also fully assembled. I have just finished spray priming one and will be starting to paint it as soon as i finish writing this post. Pictures will be coming soon! Thanks for all the positive feedback since my last update :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167968-perfect-enough-flawless-host-wip-log/page/4/#findComment-2272892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Here's some pictures. First up the rest of the noise marines. They just need to be based and painted. The pair of legs is the final doom siren champion. He still has a ways to go. If you can't tell, he's been a bit of a hack job. Anybody recognize where those metal boots are from? Yeah those were a bitch. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/NMGroupWip01.jpg And now the defiler. Its magnetized, so i get to paint it in pieces. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip01.jpg I've started it with a thick drybrush of codex grey followed by a lighter one of chainmail and then a thick badab black wash. This basecoat won't be that visible in the end, but it it gives the nice dirty metal feel for the cracks and underbelly of the hull. I've put in the first few coats on the flesh tone and have just begun to do the trim in blue. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip02.jpg More on the defiler soon!

Drudge Dreadnought Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive. I'm also still painting, although it's been slow enough that I haven't been updating. I figured I'd wait until I had made substantial progress. I have, and so here are new pictures of the defiler! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip03.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip04.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip05.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip07.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/Necrologic/Defiler2Wip06.jpg It is still WIP, but there's a lot more paint on it now. The head and the torso are fully done. The weapons are mostly done, and the legs are about halfway there. I have begun on some of the leg armor plats, but they still have a long way to go. I am very pleased with the freehand I've managed on the torso and head. I'll be doing similar things on the leg armor plates. In related news, this army and blog are now over a year old.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I haven't updated in a long time, mainly due to not having a camera, and because I've been working on some DE. However, I have decided to finish this project before I start painting the DE. I've got the third oblit built, and I'm waiting for some new kits to arrive. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to post pics for awhile. Those all look excellent. For traitor scum... Mad props, dude, the conversions are are really well done.

Lord Ragnarok Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Consider me a fan of your take on the FH, and now I have some inspiration for termie based oblits. Thanks! Good stuff. One part I really think tops it off the scheme is the red and white you introduce mostly on banners. Color choice is pleasing to the eye.

One part I really think tops it off the scheme is the red and white you introduce mostly on banners. Color choice is pleasing to the eye. Thanks! The red and white was my main break from the normal color scheme. I wanted to make sure my flawless host were also different from everyone else's. I've been working hard on finishing up this army for the last couple weeks. I've nearly finished all the conversion work and building, but there's not much point posting WIP pics as I paint everything before I attach arms and backpacks. I'm only a day or two away from getting everything primed and beginning the painting. The following are about ready for paint: Predator 3rd Oblit 10 Daemonettes 6 Possessed Doom Siren champ A couple regular marines All have greenstuff work and/or reposed limbs. Once these are done, all that'll remain to do are 2 Rhinos and...the Daemon Prince, who will be left for last.

It looked like it would be really cool. It's progressed some since those pics, but has taken a backseat to finishing other models. I think I'll be getting to it after this next round of painting. It's difficult to work on, as the wire really hurts your fingers after a bit.

Brother Kovash Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Wow these guys look fantastic. I would be embarrassed to put my poor Deathwing on the same table as your army. Please tell me you plan on adding some Daemonettes as Lesser Daemons! I would love to see your work on those.
