KrautScientist Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The mockup is looking very promising so far! Good thing you managed to find out how to embed pictures ;) Your approach is a bit more organic, but maybe my own Chaos Dreadknight conversion contains an idea or two you might find helpful. Looking forward to seeing your next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Haha funny you should say that krautscientist, I believe your dradknight thread Is one of the posts I drew inspiration from, in fact I think I have a screenshot of it saved for quick reference haha. Looks fantastic. That's the model that made me want to paint mine red rather than iron warriors pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Okay so I've green stuffed the chest in and made the shin pads up http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0139_zps394e387c.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0144_zpse6abd5ca.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0140_zpsa293f8c5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 And now I reckon I've sorted the arms out http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0149_zps9b4c0cfa.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0150_zps56eccaec.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0151_zps78942675.jpg So in theory it's done now, though I'm thinking I need to add more flesh into the legs and I'm not sure if I like the little legs joining the torso to the legs, was a great idea in my head but not so sure on the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yep, more flesh on the legs would really help I think, still looking quite mechanical for a chaotic war engine. As for the stubby grey knight legs- with some plastic tubing, cable, etc. and some ingenuity- you could totally make weapon harnesses for something like a sawblade to swipe out and cut loyalists down to size!

Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Oooh I like that idea very much, I'll begin upgrade work on the legs tonight I hope, overall I think the upper body is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 First leg basically dine, what's the verdict? http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0170_zpsc3edd1d2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Legs are done now, I'm really quite happy with them http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0173_zps610ea093.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Wow this is awesome looking....maybe for fluff it was a dread knight that got infected with the obliterator virus? Can't wait to see paint on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I like that idea a lot! And me either, still a tad more prep work but I am getting close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 So very close to painting now guys! Did my (hopefully) last dry fit tonight and am really happy with it not sure if I still need to mold in more flesh, and I have had a 'hoof' like feet Here's my hoof idea http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0174_zps3c3efbd7.jpg A little unsure about it And here's the big guy in his unpainted glory! http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0178_zps1fdee910.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0180_zps4bcfd2a3.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0182_zps1d291592.jpg Any last tips before I paint would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I think it's looking really swell, but I don't quite know, maybe it needs some more muscle and sinew? The muscles on the front of the lefs looks great, but I think it needs some attention on the sides and a tad on the rear- and maybe around the chest joint too? You're at a 10 right now man, why not go for the full Spinal Tap and crank it up to 11? Not really sure about the hoof idea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yeah I reckon the hoofs off the cards more I think about it and I agree sinew is definately nevcesary down the back of the legs as for the torso I'm thinking tubes from body to machine other than more muscle abd sinew up top, however I'm thinking the pistons may need sinew Thanks fir the compliments, one if ny best models so far I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Keep it up. Love it. Might I suggest the piston thingies on the back of the ankles, change them to horns/dew claws/ blades. Looking forward to seeing it done in all its warped glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Belgian one Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nice job ! I'm ok for the main body and legs ! it works almost perfectly ! But ... i have a problem with the arms ... The tail seems too small for me and attached too high in the back... maybe if you plug it lower ( on the "ass" i don't know how to name it in an other way ... ) it would work better ! the feets are ok like this maybe some chaotic stuff like chaos dreads from F-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 @rift blade, I definately like the idea of horns or claws instead of the foot pistons, I'll get on that the @ the Belgian one, I had started to have some concerns with the tail, not so sure probably could do with being lowered a portion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Lowered the tail, and had to put some extra work into the back muscles much happier with it lower http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0184_zpsfe8064e6.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0183_zpsdaa0feb0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 And my leg, piston to claw swap, need to green stuff em in nicer but I like the conversion http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/IMAG0185_zps2640db9f.jpg Still trying to think of a way around the shoulder replacements but I may just keep them as are but with some flesh on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Belgian one Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice idea for the pistons/claws swap ! Another thing you can do is organic like cables here and there instead of the pure mechanical ones ! OH ! and some chainmail cloth ( take the one from the daemon prince box set ;-) it will fit perfectly i think ! ) Nice job continue ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Belgian one Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 PS : i'm not a big fan of the wings ... you should swap those with the hive prince ... larger... stranger... better ! Or ... no wing at all and instead of them, power cells reactors or stuffs like this as you can see on the dark eldar Talos ( but without the "bones" structure ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks Belgian one, it's getting there, I have been meaning to get around to splashing a bit of flesh here and there on the cables as is on the helldrake and fiend, as for the wings I like him with wings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've now finished with the bulk of the modeling, undercoat is on now, hopefully get to painting before the weekend, just need to make that final decision on what colour to paint I'm getting excited haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
