Guest Herald of Desolation Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 That is amazing. I want to kidnap you and stick you in a cell and make you do conversions for me forever. I'll take care of you. You'll have all the beer, pizza and wenches you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Best Oblit Ever. Real curious to see how that gaus works out, made a custom woofer enclosure for a car draping cloth over a form and soaking it with fiberclass resin, let it harden, bondo, sand then paint. Don't know what to use at this scale but you have definatly got me thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavPathfinder Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 smallvictory, sword brethren, Brother Loring - Thanks for all of the positive comments. I really appreciate them. Herald of Desolation - I'm not sure how to respond to that. Just so you're aware, I have a lot of high powered firearms and can run really, really fast. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nephilim Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 What kind of cabling did you use on your obliterator conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 What kind of cabling did you use on your obliterator conversion? I have used various gauges of guitar and bass string. I picked it up at Walmart (figured they had the cheapest stuff). It is basically a single wire with another wraped very tightly around it. Hobby Tip: Take your time bending it. If you rush it, you'll end up with kinks in it where the wraped wire is too spread out. As you can see in the bend below. I use two small needle nose pliers and make small bend after small bend After you have the basic shape you want, you should be able to adjust it with your fingers. Here's an example of where I went nuts with the guitar/bass string, using various gauges throughout the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Really cool conversions you got. I especially like the Obliterators. What did you use for the mesh material that makes up the lower part of the robe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Really cool conversions you got. I especially like the Obliterators. What did you use for the mesh material that makes up the lower part of the robe? I used gauze (I just realized I've been using the wrong word: gauss is a metric measurement of magnetism) from a first aid kit. I'm going to drip some super glue on it, that will make it rigid (diamond cutting hard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I love the soulgrinder/defiler. If you know, how much bigger is the soul grinder next to a defiler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Steel Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Incredible conversions mate - the Bloodletter heads on the Dark Apostle's knees are totally inspiring; they're definitely an idea I'd consider stolen! ;) Where are the Chaos stars from that are behind the Bloodletter faces just out of interest? I'm a fan of the head choice, although I personally think that if you could carefully chop off the front part of the head and attach it to the back part of a standard SM helmet it'd look awesome: a properly distorted Chaplain mask as opposed to a daemonic head. But hey, if that's your intention then it certainly works! I second Nephilim's inquiry about the Soul Grinder, pics next to a standard Defiler....? Looking forward to seeing more work from you brother. For the Word! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burias-Drak'shal Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You certainly have some great modelling skills. Fantastic work. Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Here is a comparison between my Defiler - The Great and Terrible Face Ripper; and a standard Defiler His "challenged" cousin Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Looking at the comparison picture really makes me wish when the Defiler kit was first released it looked more like the current Soul Grinder as that really gives the physical sense that the the defiler is a deamon engine. You've definitely done a great job at re-creating the imagery behind the Defiler ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavPathfinder Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 How did you make the head for the crozius? I used two standard tops from the Chaos Marauder Horsemen. I carfully Whittled (carved) and trimmed them along these lines then I set the two halves perpendicular to the whole one and WaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjørn eirik Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 now THAT is a great looking accursed crozius! I might loot that idea sometime :D and the soulgrinder look great as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
