freaking awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the way your brain is wired

I can' t even find the origin of most of the parts your' re using which is really refereshing

even if your work raises the bar incredibly high I find it very inspiring

It reminds me of someone who once said to me while opening a box : "10% of the model, 90% of imagination and sweat"

you don' t let the background or the model limit you

 

once again really, really great models !

Thanks for all the kind comments - I really appreciate them. :)

As for getting some paint on the army, I've been really burned out on the hobby for the past few months - I haven't really done much in regards to miniatures, playing a lot of music instead. I'd for them to be painted as well, but I still can't figure out the paint scheme, and to be honest, I hate painting armies. confused.gif I don't really know what to do, and I don't feel like investing hundreds of dollars, getting them comission painted either.

Anyway, just thought I'd drop by and say that I really appreciate any and all your comments. :)

Darnit - 3 weeks of posts gone. I know the admins are struggling, and I really appreciate the effort, but I really hope that the forum becomes stable soon. :wacko:

 

Anyway, I'll repost some of the things that are gone, and some of the stuff I've been building in the meantime.

 

Forgefiend, almost done:

As promised a better picture of Silas, and as you can see he is insanely big compared to even a terminator! just to bad my painting skills lacks in comparison to the conversion work of Mr Guitar, oh by the way Guitar has been seen with 40K dolls and a brush in his hands! and it was looking good!!!

 

 

 

Sincerly.

Can't believe I've just seen that - it's insanely good.

People should pay Guitarasmus for the chance to paint his army instead of the other way around

I was going to say the same thing- these would be amazing portfolio pieces for the top artists out there.

 

Just discovered this thread... I am stunned. The level of consistency across all of these models just blows me away. "Kit bashing" just doesn't do it justice. What you have done here GuitaRasmus is present a whole and complete VISION of the Dark Mechanicus. Just looking at the models gives me a sense of their history; of how they came to exist. You have created a whole world without writing a single word of fluff!

 

I am throwing away my GS and tools. My skills are useless compared to this.

 

Games Workshop- I hope you are watching this thread! Please pay this hard working teacher many thousands of dollars to design models for you!

Dear readers...

 

http://www.troll.me/images/red-foreman322/you-get-back-here-now-im-not-finished-yet.jpg

 

 

I'm back. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from the hobby, not really feeling inspired, and being busy with the band, and doing a bunch of other stuff. However, I recently got this idea in my head, that an Obliterator, finding itself in the favour of a chaos deity, could become a Daemon Prince, just like a lord or a sorcerer - with this in mind, and having recently read Storm of Iron, I got the idea to make such a character, as the leader of my army - thus it begins:

 

(as usual, this is WIP - lot's of greenstuffing to be done, tweaks, etc., but as always, suggestions and comments are appreciated. :) )

 

 

Oh... Internet cookies for those who can guess where his lower legs come from. ;)

Size comparison - this guy even dwarfs dreadnoughts and other Daemon Princes!

Detail - I quite like the bionic eye:

An idea is beginning to form in my head, involving a Fantasy Chaos Mutalith, and a forgefiend body, plus a new Helbrute. Stay tuned. :)

 

Btw, I'm still totally lost regarding the colour scheme - great pics or inspiration is most welcome.

#1: Welcome back, you and your Dark Mechanicus wonders have been sorely missed!

 

#2: I saw the forgefiend head, but alas, I was too late...I blame my sister's birthday party! (but, hey, at least I got rum and cake, hehe!)

 

#3: That's right little marine, it's time to make a "tactical retreat"... :D

 

#4: Regarding colours, I defer to FW and their mechanicus forces. Copper/bronze and metal, with a splash of red and black. Also, gloss varnish on the thallax faces would be awesome to get that glassy feel...

What a beast. One of the things I enjoy doing when you post your builds is going piece-by-piece and deciphering all the little details you've lavished over. My favorites being the cabling along the spine and the thorned collar. Excellent work! :tu:
