Daemons ongoing projects - Back to the Mechanicus

[Daemon2027]

Wow you got a ton of great stuff here mate :) quite amusing that we've both had quite similar ideas for the magos :) Seen mine?

Yeah I saw yours over on the ammobunker. I think I prefer what you did, looks a lot more creepy but isn't so massive as mine.

 

Thanks Luna707.

 

So next random model. Truescale marine. Not quite finished yet, just need to add some detail but I wanted to get opinions. If you've read Pariah you'll understand where I got the inspiration. If you haven't, he is an Alpha Legionnaire, usually he would be hidden under the tattered cloth that covers him, the power armour hidden, his bulk would keep most away, he would move through hive slums amongst large 'twists and other genetic mistakes. In order to reveal his true nature I decided to have him draw the power sword so I could reveal enough of the armour to show he was an Astartes. The plan is that he will be a part member of a radical Xanthain Inquisitor.

[Teetengee]

All of this, I want it. Beautiful.

[Daemon2027]

Thanks Teetengee.

 

Ok a few more builds, I really need to start painting some of this stuff! Sorry for the crap pics, had to do my best with the light I had.

I really love the wraith model, this is the second time I've used it as a base for something. Im not sure about the hand with the gun, I just couldn't find anything else that fitted the model. I know it's hard to see, I had to adjust the light balance on the photo, but I used one of the original wraith heads, just removed the lower jaw and created a bionic eye.

 

I've been thinking about doing more Chaos stuff, possibly even Chaos Guard. I love the FW militia kit so I'll definitely play with those but I thought about adding a more elite element to. Here's my attempt to chaos up a Scion. Hopefully you can make out what I've don on the helm.

[Daemon2027]

Thanks for the likes. I've been working on some chaos stuff but I don't feel it's quite ready to show and I really want to get the Inquisitor and his band finished so I can start painting them. I didn't really like the blind priest to much, and I started working on a replacement, he's more or a cultist (or the Empwror worshiping kind) and airlines not ready to show. But I had a brainwave on the wraith conversion, I've made him into a Shrine attendant. I am trying to make some cherubs out of GS to finish this model off, one holding candles, the other with some incense.

[Xin Ceithan]

Simple brillant. Can't believe I missed this the first time around. And I ' m so going to steal that Magos idea

[That Guy Matt]

As soon as I saw your Marine I thought Pariah! Very cool conversion.

[Daemon2027]

Finally finished my Inquisitor, not compleatly happy with the cape but it's the best out of several attempts.

I gave up trying to GS cupids, I could probably have nailed it with a little practice but I was getting fed up, so I added a censor to give him a more religious vibe.

To replace the priest I worked up this zealot. He hates mutants despite being rather malshapen himself. I thought the weapon would make a good blunderbuss, which would probably take a while to reload so he's added the flamer. His other hand holds a knife, more for slitting the throats of wounded then real close combat fighting.

To finish the group off an young witch hunter, whose learning under the Inquisitor.

And the group together, taken me a long time to get it to a point I'm happy, next job is painting.

[That Guy Matt]

Very cool warband. Looking forward to seeing them get some colour.

[Daemon2027]

Thanks guys. After some feedback from the ammobunker I decided to redo the fur on the inquisitors cloak.

 

I think this looks a lot better. I just need to get some liquid GS to tidy up the fabric areas. Then I'll give each model a once over to make sure I'm compleatly happy and then painting can begin.

[hushrong]

Terrific work! That Prime has an awesome combo between a cowboy, cyborg, and bounty hunter.

[Luna707]

Beautiful!

Seriously amazing stuff here

[Charlo]

This is some incredible bitz and greenstuffing. So cool and full of life!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Wow, very cool work you're doing here, dude. I love these creepy spindly conversions. Love to see moar. And with paint. :) :tu:

[Noctem Cultor]

Great work on everything, I can't pick a favourite they look awesome.

[Phalanx Warder]

Stunning conversion work the Hydra! 

 

I am amazed at the little details you have pulled off here and some of the actual ideas you are having and seeing them come to life in your work is something special to behold!

[Daemon2027]

Thanks for the comments guys, its been a while but I finally put paint to model. They are all still WIP but in different stages of completeness.

 

The young interrogator and the cyber hound are the most complete, just need a little tidying up and some details done. I need to redo the Interrigator hilt and the little broach, both look a bit flat at the moment, and maybe a highlight on the red sash. I was going to give another highlight yo the jacket but I'm not sure now.

Not so much done on the inquisitor, but I like the way this pic has come out! I'm going to use it as a guide to highlight his armour from black up to a shine.

 

I'm really enjoying painting these guys but I'm also itching to get building more models!

[Grimm.]

Totally rocking, that inquisitor is just the dude. Can't wait to see him fully painted.

[Teetengee]

these guys are looking great!!!

[Daemon2027]

Thanks guys.

 

Progress with the inquisitor, little messy at the mo but won't be hard to tidy up, might try and dirty up the shield a bit more to.

[Biohazard]

Some great stuff in here, for cherubs you get a small ammo holding cherub in the new Devastator kit. Might be worth checking bits sites for a couple to convert? Looking forward to seeing these guys all finished. :tu:

[Daemon2027]

Thanks for the tip Biohazard, I'll keep an eye out for them.

 

Have managed a little more painting but nothing worth posting. I'm actually thinking of rebasing the models, building something more interesting then just cork. I'll probally build an paint seperate then attach the models after.

 

I have be doing some building though. Got quite a few Mechanicum models in various states, and a few truescale marines, mostly heresy era which I've posted in the Age of Darkness. I did find this guy in my bits box and decided to finish him off. I built him to be an Arch-Demagogue in a Renegade Command Squad, with the Covenant of Khorne and Bloody-handed Reaver upgrades. The idea I had was a fallen Scion, turned chaos raider whose continued strength and success had seen him build an army around him. I didn't want him to look like he obviously devoted to Khorne but more like he was a brutal soildier, which I think comes across.

I haven't quite decided how I'm going to go forward, I would still like to do the Renegade and Heritic army but I might start by doing a small warband with a few concepts of the units I would like in the army (Disciples, Blood Slaughters, infantry and vets, mutants, spawn, Ogryn, lust goes on!) and try to build his command squad as well.

Thoughts, ideas, and criticism always welcome.

[Brother Pheidias]

Consider that Inquisitor well and truly stolen. Great mix of bits, and an awesome eye for possibilities in all your models.

[TDF]

Where are the inquisitor's legs from? Can't seem to place them.
