Excessus Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 So I was pretty annoyed by the non-plasma head for the forgefiend, so I sharpened my blades and started cutting. I'm so proud of the result that I just have to post it! http://imageshack.us/a/img202/5153/dsc0068gu.jpg Much better than the standard... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Sage Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Never understood what on earth was wrong with the original forgefiend head. Looked quite predatorial to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 The only reason why I didn't like it myself was the closed mouth and strange positioning of the tounge. The head looks fine in other regards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Never understood what on earth was wrong with the original forgefiend head. Looked quite predatorial to me. Predatorial, but not especially daemonic. Not warped or weird or mutated. Looks more like a large beast with cybernetic implants and armor plating bolted on than an unholy fusion of flesh, machine, and the infinite horrors of the warp. It's not so much a 'this looks bad out of context' complaint, and more a 'this doesn't look like what it's supposed to be' complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like what the Warpmsiths thought would be functional while still being animalistic enough to provoke fear in humans. I don`t get the "its not daemonic enough" complaint, and honestly feel it`s bizarre. That thing doesnt look natural to me. Burning eyes, dripping with toxic fumes, skeleton strenghtened by layers of plasteel. Eh, how does this look like normal warmachine? If it had been "more" daemonic, it would likely no longer be a machine fused with a daemon beast, but just a daemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammeron Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 ^ It actually looks VERY redolent of the classic Bloodthirster heads, all of which had that slightly canine, big toothed snarling appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not mentioning that in my response ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colossus Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That's awesome, was it particularly difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 In my opinion that looks much better than the original version! I imagine it was a pain to seperate the jaws and it looks like you have done a very good job with it. Looking forward to seeing it painted. :devil: Mike.

Killax Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Lovely little conversion. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Top notch, Excessus- looks very natural . . . or at least as natural as a daemon-machine hybrid can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 That's awesome, was it particularly difficult? Well, it demanded extreme precision and a stupidly sharp and thin blade. I used just the tip of a brand new blade on my modelling knife, anything thicker and the teeth would have been too damaged. I'm glad my gamble paid off, the risk was that I would have been sitting there with a damaged head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payce Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm planning to do something like this myself, except open it maybe even wider (think Trygon). Nice to see that it's not only possible, but also quite doable without a ton of facial resculpting. Cheers for posting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Cool. Seeing that this is possible means that I'll probably build a Fiend at some point. Good Show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
