Biohazard Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 So it's taken a while but I have an update. I settled on the Renegade Enforcers head for my Knights pilot. I'm waiting on my 3rd Knight arriving so I can build the other cockpits simultaneously. I haven't done anymore painting for one reason or another. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/7596B9E8-3758-4580-B1FB-2D0DB82492D4.jpg I also mentioned in my Interview post over in the chaos marines forum that I wanted to rebuild Malek Deimos. I started working on him a few nights ago and decided I would magnetise him so I could use him in a few different builds. I'm working on versions of Abbadon and Lord Zhufor. Both of which are still very early WIP. I still need to decide how I'm going to build Zhufor's powerfist. Here's what I have so far. There is obviously a lot of clean up and greenstuff work needed yet. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/CADFB67E-27D9-4B3E-904F-476E85FD18FD.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/5EDE06C5-45C7-4C64-BD23-31CE1F41DE25.jpg Abaddon http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/4CEA8888-8E68-4025-B3BD-B13D54E80E7A.jpg Zhufor http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/B5275C5F-BC5A-4DDF-BE09-4A3790B18CD4.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/989FCAB7-FA08-433A-B7CF-29DE91E35A53.jpg Or a mix of all of them. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/3678E236-C48C-4B20-B8BD-D0B75BBA34D0.jpg I've also built a couple more Berzerker Champions Lightning claw/plasma pistol http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/4E2D3E75-020F-4B2E-B74E-9095A426C3F3.jpg Axe of Khorne and Bolt pistol. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/AE2C098F-2997-436F-9D57-9600BD5B5E0D.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/BB226630-AB5A-4B6E-81AB-EE0D56C33C2F.jpg And I built an Icon of Wrath. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/70F557D6-E08E-48E6-9F5C-48E31065524F.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/66465DFF-639C-411F-AE4D-D24EAA02BD09.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/62F6EB4F-6A3C-4DFC-90A3-F84381CF2997.jpg And finally I've built a new head for my 3rd Jugger Lord with Lightning Claw and Axe of Khorne. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/B50D89F0-9976-40E2-A183-E69DDFED9B96.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/7DCB8AD0-D5AE-4E39-B1E4-67F706B175EF.jpg As always folks let me know what you think.

KrautScientist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ha, I am always happy to see an update here, buddy, especially if it's about new kitbashes! :) The Enforcer head works really well for the Knight pilot and is definitely a keeper! Seeing it mocked up like that, though, I'd leave off the cabling after all. The work on Deimos 2.0 is also really impressive, especially that Khorgos Khul armour plate on his shin armour and the huge axe! That third head is terrible, though -- far too cartoony for my taste! Please stick to the other two ;) The new 'zerker kitbashes are looking good. Not quite sold on the new head for the jugger rider, though -- those skulls from the skull cannon are cool bitz, but they don't quite work as facemasks, I think. There's something ever so slightly off about the facial proportions, if you ask me. Looking forward to your next update! :) Khornestar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks for the comments, For the Knight pilot I'll probably keep the cabling but I'll tone it down a lot. On Deimos I have to say the Axe and Shield combo is one of my favourites. Sorry dude but I'll be keeping that 'cartoony' head. I really like it and feel it represents the Skull Helm of Khorne perfectly. The heads are all magnetised as well though so it's easy to switch out when I like. The Jugger Lord it may be the pic and pose that's throwing you slightly with the torso etc being primed. It fits quite well irl. I have mocked up another head and think I've nailed the fist for the Zhufor build. I've added a coat to the trophy as well. It will be chopped up a lot and fixed with GS to make it look all shredded. I'd meant to have the trophy pole removable and may still look at doing that. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/4FC657E0-4A10-4C88-B238-DE9C67F5E9B0.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/61DBCDA4-559A-46F9-A864-758D01A22791.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/B46FC778-1D82-4C71-8397-AE1A2B5837E9.jpg Just need to sort out the Bolter on the fist.

KrautScientist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well, you like what you like -- still, I had to take the opportunity to try and dissuade you from using that terrible head. But the fact that it's only one of several options is a relief, at least ;) The most recent one is really cool, though! I don't like the stock head, but it works surprisingly well with the crest shaved off! The axe and claw combo is very bad-ass! As for the bolter, since I've done something similar more than once, I'd suggest using shaved down CSM bolt pistols instead of bolters, as that worked out very well on my Doomwall conversion. Or you could just use on of those GK bolters, although they are fairly clunky. I love the idea of rebuilding Zhufor's trophy pole with plastic bitz, but I have to ask, buddy: Do you want the original resin bit? I think I have a spare one.

Biohazard Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Like you say, you think it's terrible. I like it. Cest la vie. And yeah I have some CSM bolt pistols to use for him. I've done it a couple of times before As for the trophy pole I'm really enjoying building this one buddy so thanks but I'll carry on with this one. I'm curious to see if I can pull off my own version of it. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Please tell me where not-Abaddon's head is from? Brutal! They all look great mate, big kudos as ever :tu: Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Fair enough. Your plastic version is already looking excellent, don't get me wrong. Just wanted to let you know that there's a spare impaled Lord Commissar if you want him ;) Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Midnight Runner. All the heads apart from the rebreather one are from the Blood Warriors box buddy. Kraut, thanks buddy I'll keep it in mind. :tu: Edited April 8, 2016 by Biohazard Midnightmare 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks buddy, I got them from Zinge Ind I think. The set I got had a few different gauges. This was one of the smaller ones Chandrian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Deimos is great, love the versatility you have got, I really need to get some magnets! I really like the icon of wrath, really characterful model. Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrick Shadowblade Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Bio, The new kitbashes are looking awesome... the giant axe one is my favorite! http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/4FC657E0-4A10-4C88-B238-DE9C67F5E9B0.jpg Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Not sure how I never commented here before, but that looks really good. I love the fact you magnetised it so you can play with all the options, bravo. Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Looks great, Biohazard. I might have Zuhfor's fist as a bit for you. Shall I look for it? Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It's always great seeing someone magnetize their minis for more options :). The new incarnation of your chaos lord looks fearsome, especially with the helmeted head you've put on him. Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks absolutely gorgeous. Regarding the bolter on the fist, I'd recommend hacking apart a Spess Mehren Dreadnought's storm bolter and mounting that on the back of the fist.

NightHunters Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Looking epic chap! Not 100% on the Jugger being caressed by the gigantic lightning claw but to be fair will only make him more angry so Khorne will be happy!

Biohazard Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for all the comments folks. Really appreciate it. Augustuss, thanks buddy but I have a fist almost complete for him. Appreciate the offer though. :tu: Squigsquasher, I've looked at that before but always found it a little too bulky. I have hacked apart a couple of bolt pistols though and I'm happy with how they look. Again I have Zhufor's fist mostly complete so will update ASAP. Nighthunters, like you say angrier is better. Especially when it comes to a snorting flesh metal brazen beast charging at the foe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 You're welcome, buddy. He's looking brutal and that commisar is splendid. Can we get another look at the axe? I think it works very well, but it might need an extention of the haft between the haft's end and the second 'attachement point' of the blade. Do you get my meaning? :D Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That trophy poll is epic, I would definitely have it removable though for transport. I'd also be tempted to put a left arm on it, at least the upper arm and soulder tucked into the coat. But still brilliant work and eagerly awaiting the green stuff to see it shredded.

Biohazard Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks for the replies folks and apologies for the delay in replying. Venomlust, I made that pad a few years ago for one of my first version of Malek, at work just now but I still have a pic in my photobucket. I like how it looks but feel it needs something else. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/44123EFA-2AB9-48C4-B29E-4B238883F4E2-2079-000001C610804E4A.jpg I'm now thinking I'm going to get the Forge World WE terminator set and use the pads from that on this guy. Should have a set for all his load outs and I'll definitely be using one of the rebreather heads from that set. Augustuss, your exactly right! That bit is just a place holder, I had that axe power plant piece sitting and it saved me chopping up another one until I was sure it would look ok. The final build will have that as one solid piece. Mechanist, I will be making the pole removable I think. That way I can add another trophy pole or banner for one of the other load outs. Not sure exactly how I'm going to do it yet but I'll figure something out. Some good idea for the skeleton as well. Initially I wanted it to have both arms tied behind its back but couldn't really get it to work. I will be adding at least one limb though. I'm still trying to build up the courage to start chopping the jacket ha. Sockwithaticket, cheers buddy. I agree on the left facing, I magnetised this at the waist but I think I'm going to glue it. And fix a general pose. I think I might have just gotten carried away with the magnets really. :D Sorry no pics in this post but once I finish this stretch of nightshifts I'll be back at the hobby table.

Khornestar Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Awesome! A spike on either side of the face would be my solution. I like spikes. *picks nose* Edited May 3, 2016 by Venomlust Biohazard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hmm, you know what, buddy: Those Forgeworld shoulder pads (and heads) are excellent bitz, of course. But I cannot help feeling that using them here would almost feel like a cheap cop-out, and here's why: You are spectacularly talented when it comes to making unbelievable plastic conversions. I've looked at your conversions so many times and gone "How did he do that?"/"Why didn't I do that?"/"I wish I had done that first!" So the solution here is to come up with something suitably awesome in plastic. Any sad git can resort to using readymade FW bitz ;) Don't take this the wrong way, buddy. I would just like to see you knocking it out of the park as you usually do -- using plastic parts. In other news, that pad is very cool and I think you shouldn't discard it too soon.
