sword brethren Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 ok, this is my second WIP at once, just gives me some variety. i tried making a deamon prince a few weeks ago and well... it wasnt great so i have a new idea. a deamon prince that was a dreadnaught, the deamon having smashed its way out of the sarcophagus, ive done some rough sketches in study at college but i cant post pics til i get home. let me know what you think of the idea :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looking good so far man, the sketch isn't that bad by the way. Really hope you can pull this idea off. Any who I don't have any proper ideas to give you really but what i am going to offer is that you take a look at the Daemon Soul Grinder model and take inspiration from that, ie broken dreadnought plating fused to fleshy parts, mechanical limbs?engine part/weapons bursting from the fleshy parts etc. You know all that jazzy stuff. :P Hope its turns out well though man! (By the way, what does AOBR mean?) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2156431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hetacondries Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Go for it man. With the head i would love to see it screaming as if its in torment and wants to break free of the shackles of the machine to realise its true form. Go for it and best of luck.

sword brethren Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Go for it man. With the head i would love to see it screaming as if its in torment and wants to break free of the shackles of the machine to realise its true form. Go for it and best of luck. i would love to but due to money issues im pretty much working off spare parts at the moment :woot: i will have daemonic limbs tearing through the armour though! i do have a modelling update! im mid way through the sarcothagus, the wings are there for comparison as he will be wearing them :whistling: any ideas for stuff to put on it? i would love some input to how people would imagine this! thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 wauw, looks really promising, i especially think the ogre head looks really good on the dread-body. well, as for input, i think you'll need an elbow on his left arm, perhaps? but as said, looks nice so far, and i like the idea^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 thanks carnosaur! i think im gonna leave arm even if he cant attack with it, he's only supposed to have one CC weapon anyway :) im adding wires to the sarcothagus at the moment, ill add pics tomorrow Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 if hes only supposed to have one CC... then what about sort of a giant shield for his other arm, perhaps?^^' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nice to see that you went with the soul grinder bits! I agree with the idea of an elbow on the left. Other than that, ANY THING SPIKY! Skulls would look good any where, maybe add BIG Bloodthirster style horns bursting form/attached to the helmet. The belly bit makes him look a bit fat i think. Maybe you could have tormented soul faces painted/modeled onto the armour? Look at the dude in the background of the WARHAMMER FANTASY (heresy, i know) daemons book. (I'm taking the C&C too far amnt i?) :devil: Thought for the Day: When Life Gives You Lemons, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!! :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The torso looks great but I'm not so fond about the arms. The posing of the right arm (the one with GreenStuff) looks a bit off, what movement are you trying to show with that? The left arm needs another joint, right now it just doesn't look like a real arm, more like some part of a crane or other construction vehicle. This thing has a lot of potential, keep going! ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2158710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Looking good, I like his left arm, but not his right. Their just to disproporionate. Maybe take the Soul Grinder arm like the left one, but add some chainblades instead of standard claws? He looks like one badass crab right now hehe Crab Daemons!!!!

sword brethren Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 The posing of the right arm (the one with GreenStuff) looks a bit off, what movement are you trying to show with that? im gonna make him look like he is taking a swing with it, when i pose the legs im gonna make him look like he is about to lunge thanks for all the ideas guys, ill probably leave the right arm now as its dry and thats my last bit of greenstuff, also i have raised it to a bit of a different angle now but im still open to ideas for the left arm though :P ill add some more pics as ive made a little progress wires ahoy! just as part of this update id like to say im having massive trouble with the legs, if anybody has done anything similar or thinks of a decent way be sure to let me know ;) thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2159103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 WOW, I admire not only your ambition but your skill in the execution so far. While I may not be able to help much with legs I have made a kung fu dread kicking an ork...no the same and I'd need to look at it again, what kind of pose do you want the legs in...

cathar the great Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I think I may have some suggestions for arms and legs. I am building a few Demon Machines from bitz only. Maybe the way I built the legs and arms could help you. Just look at the links to my blog below. Steal any idea you might like. ^^ Linky 1 Linky 2 Linky 3 I'm also thinking about doing some sort of tutorial for bitz-building in the future, but not too soon. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2159205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver3x Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm afraid that I cannot express my true feelings for this, as swearing, even in the from of extremely high praise and admiration, is frowned upon ;) A fantastic and inspiring piece, along the lines of Cathars *tips hat to* I shall be watching (and plagarising) with great interest.

S. Bloodhowl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If your going to do a shield then try and get a hold of a plastic teaspoon. The heads on those are just the right size with dreadnoughts.

The heads on those are just the right size with dreadnoughts. he's a bit bigger than a dread, im doing the legs now (used cather as inspiration and a bit of lego :huh:) i dont think a teaspoon would cut it, im on bitz and kits now having a look, im still not sure whether ill have a shield though, please contribute because i have creative block for that arm. let me know if you wanna see the legs so far, i wasnt gonna show them till they are done but if some people want ill take some pics now. thanks Edit, just noticed, wooo 500 posts ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182241-dreadnaught-daemon-prince/#findComment-2159785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Look at any and all khorne daemons and champions-YOU NEED A SWORD OR AN AXE MAN! Or perhaps one of these (as modeled by my beautiful assistant): Boltman's Dreadnought (She aint mine, i found her on google, but she's frickin awesome!!!) PS Does any one know if i could get away with putting a WIP for a Great Unclean One up in the work in progress forum? (He's starting life as a tennis ball!

Surreal Cruelty Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I like the legs. It is a nice recycling of the PA backpacks to make the feet, gives a much better impression of stability and weight distribution. The re-positioned defiler claws always just look too narrow and unstable when used as feet.

Commander Sasha Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 As work is already progressing on the legs it's a little late for what I have to say, but I loved the legs in the original sketch, being entirely organic, as thought they had 'grown back'. Should you attempt another one, closer to the original sketch (or just make a regular Dread in this style), would you consider it cheating to trawl toyshops for musclebound action figures? Charity shops will have old WWF guys or Masters of The Universe junk for pennies. You could use the arm parts too, and before applying GS to the joints you could really experiment with awesome poses before having to finally commit?
