Psychopomps (photos before farewell!)

Wow those nettes look great good job sir

[Kierdale]

Thanks.

There's a couple of boxes I forgot to put on the list:

5 Raptors

1 TDA Lord who I intend to convert into my counts-as-Typhus. A big one-shot doom siren as his virus-thingy.

 

And that last one got me thinking:

I've been wondering how to do the 'plague zombies'...wanting them to look tranced rather than diseased...

 

And at the same time wondering how I can give auto (or at least las) pistols to my Slaangor cultists....

 

 

Ah-ha!!!

Use the Slaangor as the 'plague zombies'. No need for guns. Sufficiently different in look from my human cultists.

 

Oh, more for the list:

A handful of Goliath hangers to be converted into cultists.

[Aspiringchaoschampion]

A slaaneshi typhus? I approve.

[Forté]

You'll likely have to raid sites that sell 28mm weapons and conversion bits sites like Kromlek and Anvil.

[Kierdale]

Well, while I haven't gamed in two years now -parenthood :D - my gaming was done, and when I get back into it probably will be done at my local GW, so I'd like to avoid using 3rd party bitz. I could scratchbuilt pistols or convert them from other weapons but, using the Slaangor as 'plague zombies' means they don't need firearms at all. Problem solved. :)

[Kierdale]

The second spawn is complete!

I took some photos against the usual blue-to-white background and some against black as an experiment.

And the base trim has since been cleaned up with black.

[Forté]

Your spawn look too good

[Res Ipsa Loquitur]

It kinda reminds me of The Thing. With a Daemonette burstin out of it, natch.

Was that intentional?

 

EDIT - It's brilliant, by the way.

Thanks.

I might have been subconsciously channeling The Thing :D

The intention was to make it look like a failed summoning, or one which has only partially succeeded, with the two sacrifices (at least one of whom was certainly unwilling) having become merged with the not-quite-fully-formed Daemonette.

The Crypt Ghouls box is really good for twisted bodies (and, incidentally if you ever need them, naked legs and feet). I have parts and ideas for a couple more spawn (hopefully as disturbing as the first two) from my current box and hope to get another box sometime. From that I'd like to combine all ten bodies into one worm-like amalgamation to use as a giant spawn.

I am an unashamed plagiarist so I will be ripping Tzen off and using the Gal Vorbak as Spawn.

 

I simply don't have the talent to do what you do, sadly.

Honestly it's not that difficult. Just let your imagination run weird.

Some Daemonette progress:

I experimented with different hair colours...even a blonde!

And a little initial work on a third spawn...

[slipknotzim]

its making out with its self super creepy~~~!@~!@

I love this thread.

seriously thou the deamonettes are much better then Gw's u should be proud

[WarriorFish]

I like all the hair colours, helps tie them in with your Marine's colour scheme nicely. I also feel you're enjoying making the spawn a little too much, it's getting pretty freaky :lol:

Imagination isn't the problem, talent is. Well, and time. But mainly talent and the lack thereof.

[Forté]

So good. Wrong in a way but so good too :tu:

[Kierdale]

Thanks! I got a bit more work done on that spawn and another, but just a bit. They're not models I can work on unless I'm in a particular mood (which probably sounds weirder than it is).

I did however finish the second squad of Daemonettes and thus my ETL vow!

Alluress and Blondie (with Biel Tan guardian's head)

Close up of Baldie's face as their eyes came out nicely

`Colourful` here on our right has the same body (and thus rubble she's jumping off) as Blondie, but I cut the High Elf Eldar helmet away and left the piece of stone very thin. I like how it looks.

With them being so dark but the bases light, photographing them was hell :D I may borrow the missus' digital camera and have another go sometime.

Anyway: vow complete.

Another vow....I'm thinking whether to or not.

[WarriorFish]

Very nice, the mix of colours really works :tu: Can we have a close up on the xenos head please?

[Chaeron]

Great work on the completion mate - looks great!

[Kierdale]

Thank you very much!

After uploading those photos I took some more (including the Eldar head) with the missus' digital camera. I'll resize them down to under 2MB each tonight and hopefully get them posted too.

This is great stuff Kier, they're going to really shine on the table top :) I will be referring to this when I one day get round to some daemons of my own :tu:

[Kierdale]

Thanks!

I got another spawn ready for painting, so made it my second ETL vow.

It'll make more sense once it's painted.
Likely not a lot, but more.

We'll see if I can get the other one (the kissing one) completed in time too.

[Khornestar]

Disgusting! *applause*

[Teetengee]

Everything you make is gold.

[Kierdale]

Thank you.

No work on that or the other spawn today. For a change I did a bit on my Slaangor...

I decided to give some pistols after all. When used as [plague zombies] they'll just pistol-whip people.

Leader...now here I have a question of pose.

A. Holding severed head low, axe high, victoriously. hair will be added sticking out the top of his (left) fist.

B. Axe held low, head held high, possibly with left index finger extended pointing at enemy.

C. Axe low, head high, shouting at it (I'd post it more vertical too, facing him better).

And the fourth one I've got done so far.

"What's that you say? The Black Templars and World Eaters chain their weapons to their wrists?...

...how quaint."

Some will have scavenged Imperial gear (chainswords, knives, IG helmets/heads as trophies [the odd marine helmet too], IG canteens and ammo pouches). I'm wondering about giving some scavenged loyalist marine pauldrons too....thoughts?

EDIT: another question. Shave off the wood grain from weapons and paint them up as metal (add some drilled holes, bolts here and there)?
