Nemac's WIP Log - Abaddon the Despoiler

[Biohazard]

Sorceror looks epic bud, interested to hear more about this method of making robes.

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks guys :D

 

Thanks Bio, I can't take credit for the method but I saw some pictures on Thamiers thread when he was making his sorcerer and worked it out from that. I need to make a tabard for the upcoming Daemon Prince so I will get some pictures of how it is done :tu:

 

Basically, you put some instamould into hot water and when it's flexible you can push it between the legs (or around them for the robes at the sides) and then you have a good surface to sculpt the cloth. I hope this helps but I will try and get some pictures of it :)

I need one of those!

 

That sorcerer looks too damned good!

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks hushrong :). The main body and arms are fully painted now but won't show him until the jump pack is painted too. It shouldn't be much longer.

Ok guys, you can ignore my previous comment about not showing how far I am with the Sorcerer. I still have to finish his back pack but will show what he looks like at the moment. I am very pleased with this one which is why I have had a change of heart:

I have also started working on the Daemon Prince. Most of the conversion work is finished minus a few areas that still require a clean:

I have straightened his left leg and replaced his feet with those of the plastic Daemon Prince, I have also added a loin cloth and some additional trophies and started work on filling the gaps. I likely need to go over the gaps above, and around the sides, of his head but he is slowly getting there.

As always your thoughts are very welcome!

Dam that sorcerer is looking epic. Great conversion and the paint job it ace.

 

The DP is also looking great, really liking the repose. I thing the left leg might need turning out a little more but other than that it's spot on!

[Vairocanum]

Brilliant work on the sorcerer, fantastic looking paint job. The sculpted tabard looks even more impressive after you've painted it! The daemon prince is looking great too, really like the swapped feet. Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks mate, I think it may just be the picture that makes the leg look a little wrong. I also think it may be a little bit late to do anything about it without pulling the model apart. I'll have to have another look at it when I'm home :)

Thanks Vairocanum. He is getting there. I'm doing the sorcerers jump pack at the moment so hopefully he will be ready tomorrow for pictures :)

 

Thanks again guys

The sorcerer already looks fantastic! Can't wait seeing him finished. And I love that power armor prince, he might be old but he is so superior to the goofy plastic one.

Thanks Aasfresser :), the sorcerer is done now but am having a few issues with my internet so struggling to upload pictures :(. I agree with the DP, the old model is amazing and the trim on the armour seems to fit in with the new aesthetic very well.

Morning all!

I have managed to get some pictures up and this is how the Daemon Prince looks at the moment:

The wings were very kindly sent by Biohazard and look perfect against the wings on my Raptors. I have a little more GS work to do on this guy but it shouldn't be long until he is ready for some paint. I have also finished the Sorcerer:

This guy was very enjoyable to both convert and paint but does make me wish I had used the standard Raptor Jump Packs across the other models too! Still I have a unit of Warp Talons to be adding to this army so Maybe I will use the standard packs on those (with wings of course).

C&C always welcome.

Sorceror looks spot on.

[Kizzdougs]

Really nice work on the Sorcerer and Daemon Prince! I'm glad that you went with the classic Daemon Prince model rather than the plastic version. The old resin Prince is a much better mini :tu:

[Sagentus]

 

The wings on that dp are huge, but they fit the model perfectly. It looks as though he's just ascended and spread his wings for the first time. Great for work.

 

That sorcerer looks brilliant. Can't wait to see how the warp talons come on

Sorceror looks spot on.

 

Thanks mate :)

Thanks Kizz :), I much prefer the classic model to be honest. I am just working my way around the wings and sculpting in the adjoining areas. I should be able to get a picture up tomorrow.

Thanks Sagentus :), The Warp Talons will be getting some treatment soon but I got a little carried away and used two boxes of Raptors to make a ten man unit of Chaos Space Marines with two flamers.

 

Thanks again for the comments folks :tu:

 

Update should be ready tomorrow!

Wings look great bud, fit perfectly with the Sorceror and Raptors :tu:

[Nemac Vradon]

Cheers mate! I'm just in the process of blocking out the blue areas ready to give them a wash with the GW blue ink. After that I will block out he red areas and then finish both together so I get a reasonable transition in the areas where they meet. I really want to have him done this week so I can finish the last Raptor. That will give me 2 HQ and 1 Troop choice and then I'm onto the ten man CSM unit. Wish me luck :D

[Nemac Vradon]

Thanks Thamier :). I would very much like to see what you come up with!

Whoah! Don't know why I didn't comment in here before, you have some really awesome Night Lord! This last DP is amazing, I like alot the bigger wings!

[The_Stray_Idea]

The bigger wings on that DP look fantastic. Gives it some real presence. The raptors look fantastic.

[ElDuderino]

That sorcerer is a work of art, not much else to say.

 

Cool work on the prince too, I like the repose a lot. I have one of those lying around somewhere, I'll definitely take a few peeks at yours when it's time to work on him:)

Thanks Traitor , I have done a little more work on the Daemon Prince but have been sidetracked by the possibility of making videos! I will try and get an update on him shortly

Thank you , I only have one Raptor to finish and then the unit is done.

Thanks ElDuderino! I decided to paint the prince in sections as apposed to doing all the block colours in one go - more fun to see certain parts finished . As for the Sorcerer, I mentioned videos:

This is my first attempt at this so apologies for the shakey bits. I wanted to make sure I wasn't biting off more then I could chew before investing in more equipment.

 

Thanks

[Biohazard]

Video looks great. :tu: Looking forward to seeing more work on the DP

[Nemac Vradon]

Cheers Bio, I've just noticed the video is a bit blurry to begin with but not like that on my computer? Maybe I will try and upload it again. As for the Daemon Prince I will be doing more on him tonight so hopefully will have some images for your viewing pleasure soon :).
