ironking Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I finally managed to get some time for the hobby - it came in the form of a small commission. It's not quite finished, but here are some of the WIP's. http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/palan01.jpg http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/palan02.jpg http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/palan03.jpg http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/palan04.jpg The idea was a wooden paneled palanquin or litter (not for kats!) Using some regular prestick / pratleys putty and glue I build the base for the fat passenger. Used a marauder head (I think) as the base for his head. Then a bit of the old GS was applied and sculpted. It's ok I guess, I wasn't happy with his head but Brandon (client / friend) was ecstatic. The palanquin itself needs some filling and cleaning. It will be carried on the shoulders of 10 nurglings. http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/fatguy01.jpg http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/fatguy02.jpg The fatman still needs some boils and perhaps a tentacle or two to make him nice and putrid. The front of the palanquin will carry this icon - built out of GS http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/palanquin.jpg I was thinking of a nice tongue coming out of the bottom hole once the icon is done.

Captain Mick Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Looks very promising but im not sure if something what is made for WHFB will be allowed on a PA related forum. Atleast, keep up the good work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Indeed. As the forum rules state, the B&C is for Power Armor armies with some exceptions (40k Demons/Inquisition) so unless we see a bunch of demons hauling that thing or some Plague Marines the shelf life will be short.

MeatGrinder Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ''Bring in the flying fat man'' A quote from Dune. I think it sums it up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironking Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 @Meatgrinder - yeh I pretty much used the Baron H as reference work for my fatman... like I said I still need to add some disease, but the base is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible_Trygon Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 This is perfectly acceptable. The Palanquin of Nurgle is from Codex Daemons after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironking Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks for the encouragement. Yeh I am working on the disease element this week - or maybe after my friend / client comes back from Regionals in a couple days. Its for his army. I have some primed photo's which I will put up soon. Next we are adding some sail-like banners and streamers, some tentacles and disease and of course the icon. The idea was to have something completely different to GW's regular Palanquin - which is a horse (rofl) and a little more stylish and ominous. Once its all done up we may put a pale green led in the chamber to give it some light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironking Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 So my friend couldn't wait to finish the Palanquin - he's at regionals now... I think. So he primed and began painting - I managed to get a photo of the primed and based palanquin - as carried by 4 nurglings. http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/fatguyprime01.jpg http://www.blankds.com/40kimg/fatguyprime02.jpg When he's back and I have time I will start with the tattered sails and disease.
