Biohazards WIP projects

[cathar the great]

I personally liked the head with the Defiler claws more, but that one is very cool, too.

[YoungWolf7]

I like the latest one, but I think it needs a lower "jaw" of some sort.

[Circus Nurgling]

I like the general shape. I'm not sure that it needs a jaw, but it needs something. I can't put my finger on it. Just seems like something is missing.

[Subtle Discord]

Agreed. It's got the right bulk and look, but I think it needs a snout/mouth/jaw. Combine this base with some of your other experiments and I think you'll improve on a good thing.

[Biohazard]

Hmm now that I look more at it I kind of agree, Im not sure it really needs a jaw but there is something lacking. I will be detailing it a lot more cables etc. That might help. Heres a few more pictures

The front plates remind me of 'nid mandibles. It didn't strike me why until I saw them removed.

[The Colossus]

Could you turn the mandibles into claws that drag stuff towards its face? Ala this? Obviously it would be mechanical, and maybe only one pair? At the moment they look a little odd to me.

 

I envy you so much, I wouldnt know where to start with something like this...

 

Just my two kraks...

[Biohazard]

I thought Id mentioed this earlier but just to clarify the defiler plates are meant to be armour placeholders they are NOT trying to be mandibles or claws of any kind. :) I do like the idea though Colossus but i think that would maybe work better on a Slaaneshy titan or maybe even Nurgle? Im wanting this to look all armed and armoured. Like a proper warmachine.

[NightHunters]

Hmmmm they do look a little like mandibles but I reckon when all the detailing, lenses, wires a couple of searchlights maybe, is added it will just look really heavily armoured.

 

Crack on I say brethren, looking grand!

[Circus Nurgling]

Maybe moving them back a bit, and decreasing the angle, of the armor plating on the face would detract from the mandible look? Cables and piping will definitely help, and I'm having trouble seeing the 'eye' in everything but the up-close shot , but that may be reconciled once paint hits it.

[Biohazard]

The plates will be cut down and reformed etc I like the idea that the eye can only be seen at certain angles as from a distance it gives the head an almost empty helmet look. Once its painted you should see it a bit more.

[The Colossus]

Ah fair enough, I may have missed that earlier whilst I was being blown away by the overpowering amount of awesome in this thread ;)

[SincaiN]

Nice now he can stab some suckers :D He's coming along nicely, can't wait to see his arse painted up!

[Sangarunya]

Problem with the cyclops head:

 

If you haven't seen the new Necron models, they have A LOT of heads with one eye.

The head look very Necron-ish in style...not the Khorne bestial or spiky ones.

Besides that...its a little bit flat for the titan...

[Subtle Discord]

I still think you could use 5 Defiler front-claws (modified a bit, and greenstuff filled) to make a 3 Top, 2 Bottom, 'scissor-clamp/teeth', and it might even fit almost perfectly on the head configuration you're playing with now. I can see it in my mind, but I'm not sure if I'm convincing myself it would be possible and/or look good.

[Biohazard]

Problem with that Subtle Discord is I don't have any defiler toes left to try it lol. ;)

[Retributis]

I really like that head! Looks quite insect-like with the mandible. However it could really do with a crest or something spikey at the back :)

[Son of Carnelian]

Not my favorite of the heads. Needs a strong jaw, especially for Khorne.

[Retributis]

I wouldn't say that. Strong lower jaws to me always makes me think of Orks.

[Biohazard]

Since there are so many mixed feelings over the head Ive tried knocking out a couple of other designs I have to say I dont really like any of these but thought Id show them for some c&c

[eetdestroyer]

I'm actually kind o liking the devilfish (or is it a piranha?) part for the Khornate crest

 

\m/

[Hyaenidae]

How about mandibles linked to a hounds head, like the evil pomeranian in Blade: Trinity?

Scariest damn thing I've ever seen. :P

[lokkorex]

godsdamnit 1000heathens! i almost jumped backwards there! :D

[Circus Nurgling]

I'm in agreement with a previous poster: have you tried throwing a landspeeder at it? Chop off the wing bits, put some 'teeth' on the front/underside, armor it up a bit, throw some cables and other bits at it... assuming of course that you're not liking the head still. The one in post 305 has a kind of feral look to it.

 

[edit]Actually, I just had a thought while looking through my "Horus Heresy: Collected Visions" book, why not venture outside of 40k bits and use a big skull? Pg. 326 shows a cult mechanicus titan with 3 skulls with cabling coming out of the back. I'm thinking that a single, large skull, sans lower jaw, with 1-3 optics for one eye, and the other as organic (or empty-socket), with a mass of cabling coming out of the back, Angron style, would be awesome. Should be pretty easy to find a toy skull. Optics are easy enough as well.

[Midnightmare]

Lots of ideas here is going to make it hard for you! I think the skull idea could be good (especially if you team it with Khorne 'bunny ears') trip down to toys'r'us?? :huh: But to be honest, anything with large teeth and angry eyse should do the trick.
