Llagos_Tyrant, Those are some interesting Dreads, what the story behind the conversions?

 

 

The spider-faced Helbrute is based on Legionnaire Aralan, a character in a fanfic story I had written in the Liber who at the time of the story was beginning to sprout spider like mandibles and eyes from his helmet - much to the chagrin of the other Iron Warriors who thought he should cut off the mutations and replace anything damaged with bionics. Eventually the character would have been much more mutated, until his survival was imperiled and his fellow Iron Warriors forcibly imprisoned, and then vivisected him, and interred him into the Helbrute.

 

 

This one is more recent and actually had some fluff written for my IG account, and for my own background. He is the Carrion Knight, a counts-as Helbrute that is a daemon host of cadavers which it consumes for its own survival. A once brilliant warrior of my Iron Warriors tried to overthrow the warband's ruling Triumvirate, and caused a great deal of destruction to the VIIth Grand Battalion. Eventually he was forced to realign with the Triumvirate after being preyed upon by other Legions in the Eye of Terror. One of the Triumvirate then cut him down, and fed his corpse into the Carrion Knight, where his spirit overcame the daemon. Although the former warrior is the dominant personality in the Carrion Knight, he remains bound forever to the will of the Triumvirate due to the runes carved into the creature's flesh.

 

I am happy to show the Iron Warriors Chaos Lord is complete!

One more tackled - the not-yet-released Heavy Intercessor with a Heavy Bolter:

I had a real blast converting him :)

Nooooo :(

[Llagos_Tyrant]

I'm calling the 5 Warp Talons done. I can settle on battle ready for these models. Will add transfers when I wrap up the Night Lords this month.

 

 

On an unrelated note, I have decided that I don't ever want to buy the Raptors or Warp Talons kit and will attempt to kitbash any future Raptor squads to use the base CSM bodies. I think the single vent jump pack from the Heresy would look sweet on their backs.

[Grotsmasha]

 

:wallbash: I just lost the 99% complete September Update  :facepalm:

 

 

Nooooo :(

Yeah. I lost it a second time, rage quit and spent the day painting The Lion. On a positive note, I made significant progress on him, all I have left is pouches, bones, skin etc on the NL's on the base, and the magnetised weapons and scabbards for the big guy himself.

I'd ask for pics, but...

[Grotsmasha]

You can has in the morning, lighting is terribad right now....

[Gederas]

I have to wait until I have a free day to sit down and do painting again until I can vow. Which will be uh... Sunday?

[toaae]

I, toaae, serving the glory of the Xenos faction, vow to complete in the month of September an Ork trukk.

This has sat half-painted for like three and a half years, so here's to finally knocking it out. I'm going to make a Speed WAAAGH! for Crusade.

I didn't paint at all in September. The COVID-malaise is so real.

I, toaae, will attempt to complete an Ork Trukk in the month of October, in the name of the Xenos Faction.

As promised, WIP pics for The Lion,

How'd you do the angel on his left shoulder? Contrast?

Ulthuan Grey

50/50 Medium / Guilliman Blue

Ulthuan Grey Dry brush

White Scar Dry brush

To help with as smooth a finish as possible, I have a pot of the Airbrush White Scar that I brush on

[Grotsmasha]

Had a mild panic attack when I remembered these were up for Pre-Oder today, thankfully they weren't Sold Out,

[Grotsmasha]

Third times the charm I guess, September Summary is complete :tu:

[Rogue]

Appreciate your persistence, Grot.

[Skywrath]

Something big is heading your way folks.. (he's still in the process of getting magnetised, shaded, and painted).

Those 3D printed parts are badass dude :tu:

[TPS]

Exploring the insides of a downed spaceship, 30k style. Vow complete!

 

 

 

The World Eaters collection I recently took over contained a really cool conversion. All it needs is some paint. Therefore, as my second vow for this month, I, TPS, vow to paint a Brass Scorpion for the Xenos by month's end.

 

[Gederas]

And here we go:

 

I, Gederas, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete a Primaris Apothecary and 5 Terran Mark II Marines of the Dark Angels Legion to the defence of the Imperium by month's end.

 

[Gederas]

And a little under six hours later, Apothecary Ecanus of the Dark Angels 5th Company is done:

Finally found enough hobby energy to knock it out this week:

This thing is hideous, as I no longer paint my vehicles the way it's painted, but there was no sense in stripping a 70% painted vehicle, so I wanted to knock it out. To add injury to insult, my son belly-flopped on it when it was about 90% done, resulting in me needing to re-install the gunner, pin the wrecking ball and half the chain to the rest of it it, and completely remove the exhaust pipe as it was too damaged to save. Suffice to say, he spent FOREVER in timeout.

[Trokair]

TPS, that Brass Scorpion conversion is Awesome, looking forward to the paintjob now. Your Breachers also turned out nice.

Grotsmasha, are you painting one of the big boys next then? Also nice work on the Lion so far.

Gederas, nice work on the Apothecary, where do you find the time?

So far this month I have made good progress and finished Asura for the Iron Gauntlet as well as the three smaller models for The Good, The Band and the Aeldari. So for the rest of the month my focus will be on the Epic Titan and the plodding along vow, of which the Inquisitor is almost done.

Asura:

For the Eldar, as I was going for a animated statue look I tried three different methods so far to see which I like for potently redoing my 6th/7th edition wraith host as. So far I am leaning towards the darker schemes, but I have not yet settled on the energy/ghost/accent colour, so further experimentation to go.
