GuitaRasmus Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks a lot guys. :tu: The Magos is a pretty simple conversion. I used the torso, arms and cape from the chaos lord on manticore, and combined it with a pair of berzerker legs, reposed a bit to get the soaring posture. The backpack is a berzerker backpack with some of the arms from the talos added.

Fimo; I don't know how much it shrinks - next to nothing basically. You can work it as long as you want - it won't harden until you bake it for 30 minutes at about 150 degrees. The it gets as hard as milliput. Great material for stuff like teeth. I just make a LOT of them, bake 'em, and have them ready for when I feel like converting. Great sculpt btw - I'm very inspired by Resident Evil too. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/4/#findComment-3042016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazakelXIII Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The Strain look AMAZING and the Magos is great, cannot wait to see how you paint them. I love that you're doing the army in the Pre-Heresy color scheme, and the banner on the plague marine a few pages back is great.

Biohazard Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Since you first posted the strain it's been bugging me who they remind me of. But it dawned on me this morning. It's the wretches from Gears of War. I can just imagine them running normally until within charging distance and then dropping to all fours to cover the distance as fast as they can to spill blood.

Nirach Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Fantastic work, clearly lots of care and attention! I really admire your freehand work, it's really nice (For a heretic! ;)) Looking forward to seeing some shots of the army as a whole!

sockwithaticket Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well I'm not going to sleep tonight... Those are really horrifying (in a brilliant way); it's like you took some of the Ultimate Spider-man symbiotes and grim-darked them into a sci-fi horror movie.

Son of Carnelian Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Okay, now I'm just getting mad. Between this thread and Raz's, I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop an unhealthy amount of money when the new Chaos dex comes out.

Between this thread and Raz's, I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop an unhealthy amount of money when the new Chaos dex comes out. Heh yeah. What's been on my mind lately is: what's going to be the new thing in the codex. That's what I'll most likely buy.

GuitaRasmus Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks a lot for all the kind responses - It's definitely an inspiration to keep it up. ;) I've started the paint on the Strain - I'm a bit in doubt as to what colours to paint the daemonic parts, I'm leaning towards reds and blood.

GuitaRasmus Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yup, I started out with an all World Eaters army - every single model converted into action poses. Every SINGLE one. :jaw: I've got about 1500 points, mostly painted, but unfortunately I've sort of gotten tired of painting red - the colours don't inspire me like they do on my Death Guard. I've got 1 unit of berzerkers to paint and a land raider, but I probably won't do them for a while. I'm in this hobby because I like modelling and painting, and if they don't inspire me, I don't want to do them. I'll probably put some pictures up of the finished models, when I get around to taking some better pics than I've got at the moment. Here's a few teasers; My terminator lord: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4046534/chaos_stuff/khorne_dread/blackbg/1.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4046534/chaos_stuff/khorne_dread/blackbg/2.jpg Dreadnought: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4046534/chaos_stuff/khorne_dread/blackbg/4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/4/#findComment-3043588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Excellent use of some Juggernaut bits. I just ordered a couple of FW Worldeater bits, just enough to do 1 terminator to paint. I really like the Khorne fluff and all, but like you said, I don't think my inspiration would last as long as with my Nurgle worshipers.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've got 3500 points worth of mostly unpainted WE that are 'shelved' due to lack of interest in painting red, and I don't particularly like the skipping poses. Now that Mr 'Rasmus has redefined how cool they can be, I think I might have to 'bin' instead of 'shelve' them and hang my head in shame. :P :D stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/4/#findComment-3043625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've been messing with the basic design for the display board: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4046534/chaos_stuff/khorne_dread/DG/display-board.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/4/#findComment-3045337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nice idea for the display board. Will you have it all on one level or will some parts be raised?
