Biohazard Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Quixus, thanks and Crimson Hand nailed it, the legs are from the Oblits. :tu: Hushrong, cheers buddy, I have a box of the sci fi ones and some of the fantasy style ones. They'll all look good as diseased Imperial Citizens. :tu: Vairocanum, thanks for the suggestions, I've actually switched the Claw out for now. Hope you like it. And I agree on the hooded head. I've put a helmet on him for these next pics but I think I'll switch back to the hood. SystemSyn, cheers buddy. I really like the hooded head as well. Like I say I'll probably be sticking with it as I go on. I could even try adding a rebreather to the hooded face just to see how it would look. Distriya, thanks bud. The Dreads Blast master was made by squaring off the Ven Dread assault Cannon and adding a few Necron bits around it and a missile from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue to the front. Then I added a dirge caster from the Chaos spiky sprue and some chains. Hope this helps. :tu: Been working a little more tonight, I couldn't focus on Typhus so took a break and built this guy. Still not quite finished but happy with how it's coming along. Lord on Palanquin of Nurgle, http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/61A43ACA-990F-450A-BE45-201B3FF7669E.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/5C5450B3-281E-454B-9DEA-8E4B41011C81.jpg Then I went back to Typhus and worked on him a little more. Need to tidy my desk a bit so I can start the gs work now though. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/0E20BBBB-86D5-4E71-8642-9FE325615742.jpg I'll have him holding either the rotting heads from the Plague Bearer kit or possibly a dying guardsman as suggested above, there was a pretty cool piece of art with typhus holding a guardsmen Im sure.

hushrong Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You say "dead guardsmen" but he says "new recruit" haha. I do think that would be cool. Wasn't the old pic of him crushing a guardsmen's arm? Whatever you do it will look good because he already looks superb. The palanquin is also great! He looks like the santa of nightmares. I am looking forward to using the new pox walkers. I want to replay a zombie scenario my buddy and I made up awhile back and I think they will be great.

Biohazard Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks bud and Yeah I'm sure that it, I'll have a look through the old codex tomorrow. My club ran a game at Halloween a few years ago using AoS, there were 6 Heroes on the board, they had to be on foot so no Jugger Lord for me :( The 6 heroes had to then defend a church in the middle of a village against a huge hoard of zombies (300+) that just kept respawning, if the defenders held out for 5 turns then a holy light or something erupted from the church with a 6" area of effect and it did mortal wounds to the zombies. I've been wanting to run something similar in 40k for a few years now but have an Arbites station or the like besieged and turn 5 an orbital strike could hurt the zombies. Etc I'm thinking that with this new edition it could be the time to go for it. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326882-i-am-the-arch-fiend-aka-biohazard%E2%80%99s-undivided-chaos-log/page/8/#findComment-4779903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That sounds awesome. I had been fiending for some fantasy and have been tantalized by Skirmish...but what I really want is Mordheim. I think your twist on such a scenario would be sweet. We copied something I saw called "Escape from Nu Ork" where kill teams were trying to steal the last flyer out of town. We put a few twists on there like having to find the ignition code before you could take the flyer. We even tried rolling the dice to see how the little groups of zombies moved randomly until they became aware of the teams. It was fun but brutal. We want to try it again but with tyranids. We will call it Bill Paxton in honor of his role in Aliens.

Vairocanum Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Awesome update! I think the lord on the palanquin would look even better if he was more bloated and gross. As for the Typhus, he is looking really good with the power fists! Definitely looking forward to seeing what else you do with him!

Pearson73 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Palanquin's looking great, as is Typhus, however I'd agree that the hooded head works better.

Mechanist Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Typhus looks ace and will no doubt come together nicely once the greenstuff is done.The Lord looks good but really needs a lot more nurglings to fill out the blank space between the two stacks.

Augustus b'Raass Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yeah... that Typhus is looking fantastic so far! I love the pose, the stuff on his back , his awesome scythe, and his helmet - but I wouldn't disount the 'mysterious hooded face with a rebreater idea' either. How about using the original face and sculpting a simple rebreather on his face? Shouldn't be too much hassle, would it? The palanquin is coming along nicely, although I would suggest bulking out the carrying nruglings a bit more - it seems to me those four single nurgling arms couldn't physically carry that amount of weight...

They're daemons, they aren't wholly bound to the laws of physics. I think it would be even funnier if many nurglings supported the palanquin, standing on fewer and fewer nurglings, ending in only one or two touching the ground.

KrautScientist Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Man, leave it to you to come up with the most original kitbashes for chaos characters, buddy I was going to comment on the somewhat awkward leg pose on the first Typhus mockup, but it works much better on the updated conversion. As for the head, I really like both options, and ultimately, I think the question is whether you actually want this to *be* Typhus (in that case, the helmet would be the better choice) or an original character that uses his statline and rules (which would make the head the more original and interesting choice). As for adding a rebreather to the hooded head, the plastic Cadian command squad rebreathers are just perfect for such an endeavour! If I can make one suggestion, I think he'll need some chainmail bits in addition to all the gribbly parts ;) That palanquin Lord is also quite something! Brilliantly icky and disturbing! Does he actually have a pair of legs underneath it all, or does his whole lower body just fuse together with those corpses into one huge, snail-like mess? On second thought, I can probably guess the answer...

Biohazard Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Cheers for the comments folks. I'll see what I can do about adding a few more Nurglings underneath the Palanquin. And just for Kraut here's a look from a more top down view. Here you can see the gap beneath him that will be filled with gs. I still have a few more Nurglings to add as well. I also switched the power fist for one of the claws from the MKIII kit. I think it looks a lot more sinister. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/F0EE2D06-8E74-458E-904B-0A222F54481E.jpg Also here's a few different hooded options. I've still to locate my IG rebreather to try that option out but here's the 3 I've been messing about with. Decided to really push the Reaper aesthetic http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/E1BD9B0A-523A-4A04-BDB5-A6E5E0A80005.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/A566F19A-2D27-4F12-81A9-9FA89D7EFDEE.jpg And the other two hooded options, I really like the idea of him being completely faceless http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/26494B79-C505-4D51-A1FE-7009450CAA17.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/B1375D9C-564A-407A-9BFB-F9C70660DB07.jpg And here's a few scale shots of him, just so you can see how rotund he really is. :) Standing next to a paint in progress Abby who's standing on a healthy scenic base. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/A492F4A7-306B-4431-B0C2-EC6D82952DDE.jpg And amongst some of his followers http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/033E8DE4-5C05-426E-BE2D-23C8C7F5F7EC.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/BE03E152-8BC8-4356-96B6-66FDCDE380FE.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326882-i-am-the-arch-fiend-aka-biohazard%E2%80%99s-undivided-chaos-log/page/8/#findComment-4780644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Looking good amongst the zombies, I prefer hooded option number three.

DaBoiKyknos Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Oh man, I wasn´t expecting such crazy stuff like that Nurgle Lord! This is the stuff which will give me a heart-attack one day with all that craziness... I think I would saw a bit off off one horn to make him more "half-broken nurgly", but it might hurt to mutilate such a prizey bit... :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326882-i-am-the-arch-fiend-aka-biohazard%E2%80%99s-undivided-chaos-log/page/8/#findComment-4780906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Faceless would be cool, or maybe just be able to see his teeth paring from behind a crooked grin. Also, will his arms be tuck in close to his torso? From the angles pictures they look kind of too far away from the body than they should be. Lastly: All of those Zombies!!!

SystemSyn Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That Manreaper conversion is awesome! Consider it well and truly stolen! I also vote for the faceless hooded head option.

Terimus Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I am loving the idea of the hood and no face. Beautiful! In my honest opinion I'm not a huge fan of the double power fist thing, but other than that it looks fantastic!

Ferrus Manus Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think the faceless head is definitely the way to go, as for the base ideas I think a guardsmen might take up too much space and detract from the main model. But I could be convinced otherwise ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326882-i-am-the-arch-fiend-aka-biohazard%E2%80%99s-undivided-chaos-log/page/8/#findComment-4781371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 These look amazing, it has givent me hope for the oblitz set, should be able to kit bash some better oblitz with there legs.

Evil Eye Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Typhus looks amazing. I love the use of the skeleton on his back, and the Manreaper is great too. I really like the Palanquin lord as well!If you go for the hooded look, how about using the faceless head and giving it a mask of teeth (as if his entire face was just one massive, rotten rictus grin)?

Biohazard Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Cheers for the feedback folks, Lord Velype, I'll have a look at that, his head is made from a Chaos Knight helmet with the horns from the Dark Vengeance lord. :tu: Hushrong, no you're right the arms are a little dodgy just now, I plan to hollow out the Oblit shoulder pads a little and use standard Termi arms in there. once I decide which hand he'll be carrying Manreaper in I'll fix the arm position. SystemSyn, steal away buddy. :tu: Terimus, the double PF is to help with the scale a little. He looks a bit strange with standard arms. Ferrus Manus, It would more than likely be half a guardsman but I'll mess about with a few different options. ;) Sagentus, it isn't a bad kit with a few little tweaks it can be made to look really good. Squigsquasher, I like the sound of that and in fact Guitarasmus did something similar a few years back. You'll see my version borrows quite heavily from some elements of his model. I think I'll be sticking to the faceless hood just now. Hopefully it'll work with some paint on it. :EDIT: Actually, looking at his again (it's been a while since I looked at it) mine borrows a LOT from his design! Doh!

Thousand Eyes Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Typhus is looking really well there, bravo. But can I suggest he not be holding any sort of trooper in his hands? I think tying the model down to fighting one enemy can diminish the look. Trophies yes but nothing mid combat. Just my own view. Looking forward to seeing how the green stuff adds to it.

Augustus b'Raass Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I love the chaplain head under the hood - but squigsquasher's idea of a rictus of grinning teeth under the hood sound great too. In any case, if your going for option three, you have to do some work - because right ow it just looks like you cut away the face (but I'm sure you weren't going to leave it like that. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326882-i-am-the-arch-fiend-aka-biohazard%E2%80%99s-undivided-chaos-log/page/8/#findComment-4783232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocanum Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Typhus is looking awesome! I think for the faceless head if you drilled the head in a bit more like the Watcher in the Dark models it could look even better. Looking forward to seeing more!
