The Wasted Youth: Sonic Defiler

[Metal Slime]

Hey hey. I recently completed the center piece of my chaos marine army The Wasted Youth, a Slaanesh-styled defiler that features a four piece 'warband' with prisoners/groupies and a stage. It's a little over the top for most fluff purists but it's just right for me :teehee: .

There's quite a bit going on on top here!

The 'vocalist' is a bound demon screaming into a mic. The mic comes off magnet-style when the battle cannon is destroyed. You can also see the drummer in the back here.

My HQ, Chaos Sorcerer Axsaul and his custom "deathcaster" force weapon. I run him with Warptime for face-melting solos.

These IG are about to get rocked...

This Aspiring Champion usually counts as a Doom Siren and Power Weapon or Fist.

Since those guys are typically on the board somewhere else, I use other minis to mark the defilers other weapons. Lately thats been a TL Lascannon and an extra attack.

In the rough fluff I've written (somewhere early in the Iron Guantlet) the Wasted Youth are basically stranded in space for a long time until they drift into an abandoned ship wreck and discover inside a defiler that has sort of become sentient or 'grown' from the wreckage. When they finally make planetfall on a relatively unarmed pleasure world, they systematically sacrifice most of the population of an entire city to Slaanesh on a make-shift alter on top of the defiler. The idea is that their souls are held in the daemon engine and represent the 'crowd', which produces more energy when the music is at it's most pitched.

Enjoy!

Although most fluff nazi's will, as you said, not be happy I think this is frikken AWESOME!! I just cant wait for the space wolf/Amon Amarth Land Raider. As of now that is your first priority. (No, you dont get a choice)

I bow in respect of anything so blasphemous and original. Great job nice to see full on conversions for the sake of conversion. Keep up the good work. :o :)

Nicky, Your Stage looks as good as it does in the photos as it does in person! Seeing the Drummer finally finished was pretty awesome. I especially liked the "stretched skins" look for the drum heads, although you can't really see em in the photos. Good to see ya here on the B&C and back on the tables.

[Jeffy.Gee]

I love the keyboard player, that dude's awesome. Can we get clearer pictures of the drummer though please?

Yeesh...heretics are an inspired lot, if nothing else :lol: Very clever idea, and well executed. Though I would've looked for a way to squeeze a bagpipe in there somewhere (get it, squeeze a bagpipe? Ha, so clever :P ).

 

That is something truly worth annihilating in His name ;) .

That is just one coll and very fun conversion! I love all the quirky little touches like the Devils horns and the groupies around the singers feet. If you can't have fun with this hobby, then you are taking like far too seriously!

 

Just had an idea for the bands Chaos Icon - make a rider. A table groaning under the weight of booze, bowls of blue m&m's (don't ask me why, but every band seems to ask for them) and maybe a few illicit substances of which I'm sure Slanesh would approve..........

 

 

Anyway, it's an awesome model - kudos to you!

[Razblood]

This is just simply heroic :jaw:

[The Normish]

That reminds me of the Goff Rokerz Orks.

Anything with a guy in horned Power Armor playing the electric guitar is fine by me in a game, it's too awesome too not play against!

Is it too late to add a Gene Simmons tongue to your Lord?

 

Or you could always convert other squads to look like other real bands. that could be your whole army...or your next.

 

Love the work. Kudos. Bravo. As my 6 year old says "you have mad skills!"

Do six year olds say that?

Actually, that sounds like a good idea for an army. I can see the ABBA squad now...

[The emperors chosen]

I can't wait for their first single :D

Fantastic guitar conversion with the chaos bits!!!

I always wanted to do something like this but could never figure out how to do it without gs'ing the bugger from scratch.

Kudos for the awesome looking army!

[Zeller]

This is a stroke of genius. That keyboard is great.

I can't wait for their first single ;)

Now THAT is a good idea...

 

 

Thanks everyone for the comments! I'll try to get a better picture of the drummer up some point soon.

 

Also, even though no one here asked about it, here is the bit I used to make the stage. The transformers icon comes right off since it's designed to be swapped out with the one for whoever is standing on it titanium base
