nurglez Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Right, so I've been aiming to try out a maulerfiend for awhile, and recently I agreed to play with no drake vs a friend of mine (he doesn't like flyers, especially the heldrake). So I took a maulerfiend instead. Even though I didn't win in 3 games I had great fun, so thought I would try and actually finish my model. I originally wanted to add in a cerberus style ecto plasma fiend, but I'm not sold on the ecto plasma, yet to use it but short range and gets hot worries me, so I carried this idea over onto my maulerfiend. He still needs a bit of repair work on his slightly widened neck, and mold lines removed, battle damage added etc, but i'm happy with him so far. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/threeheads_zps853824b1.jpg?t=1376841748 He is going to be mid run, so that paint is holding him at the right angle sort of, need to sort out some pinning for his base too.

nurglez Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 That. Is. Awesome. If i read about a 3 headed maulerfiend with a badly modelled neck in one of your books, I'll know where you got the idea from Forgot to mention, he will be painted in my Iron Warriors scheme, when I eventually paint him. Sorry Chaeron, I'm a bit shocked that I haven't seen any multi headed mauler/forge fiends in my looks around the webs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Sorry Chaeron, I'm a bit shocked that I haven't seen any multi headed mauler/forge fiends in my looks around the webs. There has most certainly been a dearth! I purely had a spare head (from my first), so have just been trying (read: failing) to get an appropriate neck for months now. Was actually working on his base earlier today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Awesome, very, very awesome. Consider it stolen if I ever get a maulerfiend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 well, I had considered completely scrapping the normal neck, and then it came to me. The heldrake has a very similar look on its neck, so I took a spare neck and added it to the sides. Still needs repair work (quite a bit) but that seemed to work at widening the neck so I could fit the extra heads :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artein Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'd like to see more pics and how you put those heads together. Also I may steal your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 I cut a heldrake neck in half, and went for the front bit. cut off the round bit where the drakes head would sit and then glued that to the side of the fiend's neck. This picture shows how haphazard I did it, but went the inspiration takes me I have to go with it and repair/hide the damage later! I'm very much an impulsive converter, the more I plan things the less likely I am to finish them. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/IMAG0396_1_zpsd879afc7.jpg?t=1376761170 Currently have 2 ideas for "pet" names.

nurglez Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 They have soap salesmen in 40k? To be honest I think all 3 are called Bitey :P Waiting on some guitar wire to start fixing the neck, went through my bits box of chain and added one, only for my friends to say it looked too big and made fun of it :(What do you guys think? I thought a big chain would make sense as its a strong angry maulerfiend. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/bling_zpsbca867a2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I like the big chain! A small one would hardly hold something as awesome as that back would it? Love it dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thats what I was thinking, it also helps to hide some of the butchering of parts near where his neck meets his body.I think the shinyness of it detracts from how it looks against the bare plastic of the model, we'll see if/when I get around to painting it.

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I love this three headed monstrosity, it is simply beautiful and sums up the very nature of Chaos perfectly. I don't actually like the rules for the maulerfiend, but love the model, especially your three headed version, what to do what to do? I know, love the rules for the FW bloodslaughterer, but hate the model, so I'll convert my own out of the maulerfiend kit, by somehow converting some massive blades and then use your three heads idea, especially 'Khorne-ish' given the fact that they come from juggernauts. Thanks for the inspiration man, and kudos to you for coming up with the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure, depending on how you paint the rest of the beast I reckon a dull silver or rust/bronze coloured chain would really work. Only wish I had of come up with it first!

nurglez Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Firstly, thank you for all the praise. I'm not the most creative person, but I can come up with a cool kitbash, No scratch building for me. I was also shocked that no one else had made one (that I've seen anyway, and I did search as best I could). Right, slowly but surely, I've started to repair his neck . http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/IMAG0398_1_zpsf6c1562c.jpg I've also fully assembled his body, which is a stock maulerfiend. I'll do as much as I can, then I'll start on the GS, I'm not too confident, but I'm sure I can do a passable job at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
