Paradogmatic's Works - Void Hunters - ( Demi Squad WIP )

[Paradogmatic]

Hi all -

 

Just started working on a conversion for my ADMECH force :

The goal is to replace at least my Corpuscarii by an a mostly alternative model -- in this case some unfortunate space miners who were someone imbued with the Motive Force. As a bonus I find it looks a bit more proportional compared to the real Electropriest bodies.

 

Still to do --

• Decide if I keep those arms -- they're spindly on that body -- I'd love something with a powerfist ( human sized ) shape for each hand and then just incorporate the Corpuscarii hand pieces for the electric coils
• Consider other heads
• Remove all the Genestealer markings and non-usual equipment 

[Vairocanum]

Wow that looks pretty cool, genestealer and admech parts look great together! Definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Update on another part of the Force -- nearly finished detailing up my first Onager :

Still looking at the arms issue on the electro-priests

[The Traitor]

Cool conversions man, the onager looks good, but I REALLY like that alternative electro priest. Personally I like the thin arms, it looks like if they relied in their electric powers rather than in physical might, which seems like a cool concept to me!

[Paradogmatic]

Its really the connect point at the shoulder that bothers me -- maybe just a bit of greenstuff sculpted to look like torn up sleeves at the shoulders to tie them together.

[darknation]

Maybe drill a couple of holes into the shoulders and use guitar string to 'wire' them to the electrical generator?

[Vairocanum]

Fantastic looking walker! Love the storage that you've strapped onto the back. Looking forward to seeing more!

[Paradogmatic]

Got a colour test tonight -- primer layers and undercoat on for weathering. Trying out some new paints too -- like they way they spray.

New Captain / LT for my Primaris detachment --

 

I wanted something a bit different, and its still WIP but I decided why couldn't a Reiver be a LT / Captain? The statline in regards to the armor/protection is exactly the same so as long as I change the weapons and keep the grav-chute parts off, I didn't see why I couldn't have a Reiver in that role.

 

May try a few other arm choices, but keep to the weapon selection on this one. If it works out, I'll probably do another with a power sword ( we'll see how much Reiver he is -- not going for a Reiver theme force ). Maybe holster the pistol for a more action-ish arm on the right.

 

Also have a few things to add once I'm committed -- some Corvus style studs on a shoulder and maybe a nice torn up looking cape if I get brave. Obviously some form of Iron Halo should I field promote him to Captain.

Ignore mold lines on any bitz -- they were just placed for posing

Nice choice of head for the Lieutenant/Captain.

I think that Reiver LT is a great looking model. Are you envisioning a squad of these guys?

[ephrael]

That head looks perfect for a piece I have in mind, could you tell me where it's from?

They're going with the themes of my Admech army -- beat up, far from home and probably a teensy bit independent ( and thus a teensy bit heretical ) -- will reflect that in the look and feel.

Its from Maxmini.eu -- the Desert Dwellers set -- I had bought them for an entirely different project years ago and they were too big, but I find they fit in fine here -- probably need a little bit of greenstuff underneath to give them a bit more height.

 

//EDIT++

 

Had a bit of time and added the studs, drilled out barrels, cleaned up mold lines, pinned and glued some parts. Still something to do I think, but he's getting there.

[DaBoiKyknos]

Is this one of the maxmini heads?

[Paradogmatic]

Is this one of the maxmini heads?

Yeah -- fits pretty well on the Reiver body.

 

I think that Reiver LT is a great looking model. Are you envisioning a squad of these guys?

Definitely -- I like detailing my models; each will be something a bit individual -- squads toned back a bit obviously but still overall more detail. The Primaris are a great canvas.

 

Been tied up with some stuff but added some details to my now-Captain Morcant :

 

 

 

[Paradogmatic]

I've finally nailed down the default colour mix / scheme for the troops -- opinions?

 

[Paradogmatic]

Laid down the white -- not 100% sure yet with the cool tone but it should work well against the Yellow / green-cast black. Probably needs a bit of purple/grey in the shadows. Also spotted a few stray mold-lines on the sword and some dust on his chest.

 

 

[Sagentus]

Very interesting concept amd great work to go along with it. I look forward to seeing that paint scheme on the models too

[Honda]

Ok, your kitbashing on the Reiver is very cool looking. I really like how he turned out.

 

Now his buddy, that's the base Agressor model? You may have just solved an issue for me regarding termie models scaled up for Primaris.

 

Your scheme...I like the colors a lot. I like the scheme. I don't think you're going to want to paint a bunch of them. Five, sure. More than that and I think you may end up finding the scheme overly complex and tiring to paint.

Yeah. The Aggressor is one of the normal ones. I just chopped off the hood which just bothered me. He's bulky enough without it.

 

We'll see about the paint; you might be right but I'm giving it a shot.

[Paradogmatic]

Couple newish things : 

 

Blocked out the paint on the Cpt Reiver -- not to any final detail level but I'm thinking the scheme will not do any service to drawing the eye to the head / weapon -- the colours are pretty much a reverse of what they should be. I think its back to the drawing board on that one.

 

 

Also -- ended up bashing together my first Intercessor SGT -- mostly done -- need to play with the placement/hilt on the powersword I think. Obviously needs the mould lines cleaned up too. On to more of the squad tonight.

 

 

[BubblesMcBub]

Man those are some nice primaris hope to see more soon!

[Paradogmatic]

Got the demi-squad nearly put together -- a few more details to do like the rest of the backpacks but everything is done for the most part. Still messing around with head choices -- may save the one on the Grenade Launcher squaddie for my Hellblasters.

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The helmets remind me of the power armor in the 'Fallout' computer games. Are they from a 3rd party?

[TempestBlade]

What kit is that Primaris bolt gun that is on the strap from? Looks good so far!
