Thanks for the compliments guys. The next two are kneeling, aiming at a flier. Not sure what to do with the sgt yet (got an old vet standing in at the moment).

 

As for the Jaws, I haven't quite decided what to do with them as yet, I have strayed away from using Sternies in favour of two Furioso's and priests in my elite slot, but fear not they have not been forgotten! I may take a break from red infantry for a bit and do some black....with bolters.

Thanks DK2K!

 

Not much going on recently, but here are some Devastators. Difficult to make look fluffy!

Hope you like, as there will be more.....

And he's back. Great minis as always fella, I think with your 'fluff' problem that you feel you could make a back story and go on the line that these are young marines that haven't really braced the blood thirsty nature of the chapter as a whole.

Just my little input if it may help.

tbh I was thinking the opposite, going for a more Longfang-esque route of the older dudesmen are the only ones able to sit back and withstand the thirst.

 

Either that or model big back pack tanks filled with blood, and a long straw allowing them to 'sup and shoot'.

 

Thanks for the comment Rob :-)

Quick Xmas Eve update;

I had planned on bringing a pip Furioso Dread along, but unfortunately I have been too busy doing Santa’s work for my kids, so said Dread has not even been undercoated yet so I’ll post up where I am with my Mepthiston counts as. The idea is to have him recognizable as the big man, just look different enough to be a true Flesh Eater. Very rough at the min (severed heads still tacked on :rolleyes: ) and lots of GS to do so bare with me. Also, apologies for the bad photography, :censored: phone camera!

I really want to use this next head (courtesy of Biohazard :thumbsup: ), but still not feeling it on this model, what do you think? Meph is the biggest baddest Vampire of them all so need fangs to match is my thoughts:-

Another skull cloak – easiest way to hide the DA insignia…

Many thanks for the comments kanan and death given form :thumbsup: and @ dgf I never turn down free parts so let me know if you do :smile:

 

Anyways, c & c wlcome as ever, Merry Christmas to all of you and your families.

 

Ho, ho, ho! :laugh:

 

 

Sorry to drag this up from so long ago in this thread, but where did you get that flaming sword: I want one! :D

No worries KD, there should be an update next week anyhow. The sword is from the Empire Wizards kit from WFB. Its funny you should bring up my Meph counts as because I feel it wasn't working and I have gone in a different direction with him. He is nearly finished and is my entry for Grotsmasher's kit bash libby challenge, so I will post him when done. And maybe another Devastator as I have the next 90% done.

Yoink, wizard weapon bits ordered from ebay for my own Meph conversion :)

MR did you end up going with the Bane-looking head for Mephy? And I'm totall digging the idea of a large tank filled with blood. On the BT side their cenobyte servitor with the holy water tank would would nicely for that plan. "sip, and shoot"

Sort of, but as you can see slightly different! I just wasn't feeling the confersion as a whole for Meph, so went back to the drawing board. The Bane 'pain' mask is slightly more Flesh Eater-y now, and will be used in his fluff (using Firepower's idea of removing the mask to unleash the rage). He still isn't finished as the GS needs work, but I am going on my holiday's end of this week so called time on him for now:-

More in Grotsmasher's conversion challenge 2, on page 4. Some awesome conversions on here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276255-grotsmashas-conversion-challenge-2-librarians-completions/

 

Also, to prove I haven't totally neglected painting, here is another dev:-

I get so much inspiration from your models. I love the new Meph but at the same time I'm not that fond of the pose. It's probably just the arms being stretched out like that, reminds me too much of the Sanguinor model. And for some reason I almost picture him holding a grenade in each hand and running at an enemy.

Ha! Cheers man, the primary inspiration for the pose was the Chaplain with the powerfist, hopefully relaying a "Come get some" attitude over a "Come get some hugs" which I suposse could be perceived. I stole the body from my Isiah conversion, of which I have a new idea. Also note, no cloak of skulls as I am making this a Valek only thing I think.

Lol love the stuff! Cheers guys.

 

As an aside, I have a tourney soon so instead of the rest of the Dev squad you may see a Stormraven next as I dislike playing with unpainted stuff, but get by at my local club but I can't be doing that at a tournament can?

Thanks for the continued interest guys!! Real life is very busy at the moment so this thread is barely alive, but like all good Vampires, it always returns. Update with my entry to Grotsmasha's Conversion Challenge:Captains. Here is my humble submission; Voivod Captain Valek 'The Terrible' of the Flesh Eaters 3rd Company, Master of Sacrifice.

Ok, he it should read 'Valek Mk II' as I already have the other version of him!! This version is a different wargear load out (i.e. big axe!!). Any guesses whom he will be counting as? Very little done recently, but found time to update my Blood Angel Chaplain to the ranks of the Flesh Eaters; Reclusiarch Ghorn:-

Not much done to him if you recognize him from my BA, just added a power fist and magnetzed his back pack whilst updating his paintjob. He really is one of my favourite conversions so it was bound to happen!!

 

Also, I went to a tournament earlier this month and took some photo's while packing them up. Excuse the undercoated Drop Pod, Meph, the Redeemer was not painted by me (huzzah for ebay though!) and the rest of the armour is still BA rather than Flesh Eater, but couldn't resist the cheeky photo's:-

If you were wondering, 1500 pts and I won two/lost two. Had loads of fun for my first tournie and finished midfield!!

Oh, and finally my current project, where my 'Raven is up too:-

C&C most welcome as usual!!
