Llagos_Tyrant Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I must admit that I've always hated Nurgle - but if he was protrayed with these guys as his regulars rather than diseased fat marines, I would definitely be more in favour of him.

GuitaRasmus Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks a lot, you're all too kind. :) The wasps were an idea that formed in my head about 6 months ago - I love jump packs, but I wanted to implement them into the death guard in a more exciting way than "rotten assault marines" - hence the idea for wasp/fly lower bodys. I was going to do the silicone mold tonight, but unfortunately my silicone has dried in the can (must be a bad batch - only two months old? :bleep: Anyway, I'll buy some more tomorrow, and then I'll start casting legs, wings and lower bodys - mwahahaha, the wasps are coming!

guinness drinking dwarf Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 How in all that is good and holy have I missed this topic and your work! I'm completely smitten and in a way wished I hadn’t seen your models. I was planning to start a death guard army once the new codex is out later this year, and now I hope I don’t end up just copying them. Keep up the fantastic work.

Jay Taint Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 With the greatest respect for your creativity and skills, I'm not perfectly sure about the wasp marine torso. Looking at it from the side, I feel he's a bit too tall and too upright. I'd try to chop even more of the marine torso, actually everything up to the rim of the breast plate. I think the marine upper part would blend even better with the wasp lower part, at least from the side -- but also from the front. Don't get me wrong, all of your stuff is amazing as it is! It's just my 2 cents. I can't wait to see the wasp marines done! Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Jay, don't apologize at all for commenting - that's what blogs are for. ;) I'm not sure, though - I really like it as is, but I might experiment a bit. The mold is hardening as we speak, so hopefully I can begin casting tomorrow. ^_^ Oh, and I picked up something today at GW. Since I'm pretty sure Chaos is going to get a flyer, I'm starting a project that I've been wanting to do for a long time, but couldn't see what it should count as - now I know. ^_^ It's quite rough, but you can see where I'm going - a nurgle giant fly: Lots of stuff to be added. I'm really excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaguewolf Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 That is going to be awesome, what wings are you going to use? or are you going to make some mechanical fly device like the blight drones?? (that would be cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yup, I'm planning on doing blight drone style rotors, and lots of biomechanical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Taint Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I always thought of getting something cool counting-as the (supposedly ridiculous) Chaos flying dragon thing ... With your fly, everything falls into place. Insanely awesome! I might steal it, and reference it, too ... Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwit Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Might be worth trying out that huge fly without the rider? Its an awesome idea, just not sure it needs a rider? Love the wasp guys and DP too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Maybe have the rider half "melted/melded" into the fly like he's either being absorbed into it or trying to pull free from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 A bit of progress on the wasps - the guy on the right needs a bit of correcting, I'm not satisfied with him, but overall I like them so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 That one in the centre looks so badass. Really like the look and feel on these guys. Great work as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Engel Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I get a very disgusting "Gears of War" Locust vibe from them, decrepit, technology on its last legs and embracing the coming change whilst simultaneously running from it... Lovely, lovely stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 loving it as usual thats one twisted fertile mind you got sir :P for the bigbug are you gonna do just the one large rotor either side or go with two smaller ones either side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 These are really awesome. All that biomechanical madness, that`s what chaos should be all about. Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 A lot of progress on the fly - first, how to make fly rotors: Drainage pipe 2 x anti-hair grills (don't know the name) for said drainage pipe. I cut the ends of the pipe on a lathe, and made two discs of plastic: Dremel galore: The discs were cut into rotors, and given the dremel and hobby knife treatment: I turned two pointed rods on the lathe, and glued the rotors on: And put everything together - the grills are used as an underside, with holes for the rods: The idea is that the rider sort of interfaces with the daemon engine through his arms (which will be suitably greenstuffed) and the cable going into his back, matrix style. I like the tormented kind of posture he has, inspired by the old metal DE talos. It still needs lots more cables, tech bits, and two cannons on the sides, depending on which kind of armament the chaos flyer is going to have. Oh and the top cannon as well - I don't think I'll make it final until I know the weaponry. Comment away. I'm really excited about this thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisisJimmy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You're excited about that fly? I get giddy whenever I see you have a new update on this magnificent force. Keep up the fantastic work you've got going on here mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
