The Void Revenants - Snake?! SNAAAAAKE!?

[Vairocanum]

Uridimmu is looking awesome so far! Maybe he could do with some volkite for his other arm? Some sort of techno-shield could look good too I think. Looking forward to seeing more!

[Dreagher]

Your Blackshields really look awesome. Especially the characters and the freehand-work!

[DaBoiKyknos]

Love that Reaver Lord!

[The Traitor]

Very interesting model, the faceplate looks very cool.

[Charlo]

Could always use him as the Nemean Reaver if not? Looking awesome.

[brother tycho]

Beautiful freehand on the leviathan.  Character aplenty

[robofish7591]

Awesome work, I love the freehand skeleton on the leviathan!

[Kordhal]

@Vairocanum: Thanks man, ended up going for an archaeotech pistol look!

 

@Jorim: Cheers, really appreciate the comment!

 

@LordVelype: Thank you!

 

@The Traitor: Thanks, he is a bit of a prototype at the moment.

 

@Charlo: Very true! Thank you.

 

@Marcussc: Cheers man.

 

@robofish7591: Thank you! Am super proud of the leviathan

 

Finished off Uridimmu First of the Ascended, now just needs a lick of paint and a bit of a clean up!

Archaeotech pistol looks cool, looking forward to seeing more freehand when he's done!

[Kordhal]

@vairocanum: Cheers man! 

 

Alrighty have a very early WIP of my count as Custodes, ascended astartes (basic bare bones backstory is these are astartes who have been fused with an dark age abominable intelligence):

A lot of it is WIP, especially the head but am really struggling to decide how to arm these guys (planning a squad of 5) so any suggestions would be super welcome!

[Radiation]

Really cool models and concept.

 Has someone been playing dead space again?!?!

[hushrong]

Uridimmu looks awesome! I definitely like that helm.

 

Also looking forward to how your latest conversion will turn out.

[Vairocanum]

The counts as custode looks cool, I think some of the skitarii vanguard heads might look good (cause the current head looks like it's sitting a bit high). As for weapons I think some sort of sci-fi looking staff or dual swords could work (if you wanted some ranged weapons, something wrist-mounted might work as well). Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[Kordhal]

@Radiation: Cheers!

 

@LamenterMarine: The helmet was a little inspired by dead space ;) .

 

@hushrong: Thank you, took a while to get the helmet right! Am hoping that it turns out alright, plan to do a whole squad of them.

 

@Vairocanum: Cheers man, ended up going with your advice for the head, looks much cooler and went for a sci fi stave look as well! 

 

Here is the proto-assembly of the Ascended, armed with a particle lance. Deathwatch details on the right shoulder will be filled in with green stuff, but am intrigued to see what people think.

[Doghouse]

Looking good mate, I like how you are starting to go outside the box with your conversions especially and I especially like Uridimmu's visor. That looks great! :tu:

[Vairocanum]

Looks awesome! Glad you liked my idea, looking forward to seeing the whole squad! I think the DW pad could be left alone as long as the "I" is replaced with something else.

[Lemainus]

THIS IS SO COOL

 

:cuss ME RUNNING

[Kordhal]

@Doghouse: Thank you! That means a lot coming from such an esteemed master of true scale!

 

@Vairocanum: Cheers man, the idea was a good un! Have also taken your deathwatch shoulder pad suggestion into account.

 

@Lemainus: Thank you, really appreciate the comment :D

 

Second ascended  has now been assembled:

Now I can't decide whether to go with the skull face, or blank vanguard helm? So any suggestions will be super welcome! Also name for his halberd weapon would be appreciated (Dark age tech sounding would be best!) (There is still some greenstuff work I need to do on the weapons cabling etc etc).

[Doghouse]

I want to say go with the helmet head so it matches the first one but that skull face is seriously cool looking!

[Vairocanum]

I think the standard vanguard helm would look better for this model. The skull head would look great for a member with much heavier augmentation I think. As for the halberd you could go for a specifically named weapon like "Covenant of Exodus" or a once standard weapon like "Phase Reaper", sort of some random names but not sure which direction you'd prefer to go. Really looking forward to seeing more of the squad!

[Lemainus]

I concur. Go with the standard helm and then use the skull for someone really, really nasty.

[Kordhal]

@doghouse: Decided to go with the normal helm will be saving the skull head for something nastier

 

@Vairocanum: Cheers man! Will go with Phase Reaper, such a cool sounding name, thanks for the suggestion!

 

@Lemainus: Yeah standard helm it is, the skull is definitely being saved for something..

 

Rather than a model/WIP here is a little bit of a lore tidbit:

AI crystal engram should be the first to be grafted to subject and allowed time to integrate with host neural structures before addition of further implants.

That concept art looks stellar! I'm getting some Metal Gear vibes from it, interesting bit of fluff too! 

[Kordhal]

@Vairocanum: Cheers man, glad you like the picture and fluff.

 

So rather than working on my considerable backlog, have decided to kit bash a blackshield Moritat. May I present the Rad Wolf Ion Vrall.

He needs a bit of clean up, and I know dual plasma is hardly optimal for a moritat but thought it looked cool :D. Any comments/criticisms are welcome.
