YannTheMad Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 That's brilliant, this is all brilliant, you're brilliant! Thanks a lot mate, I'm blushing XD So here is the test color scheme for my dark mechanicus thralls/ slave workers/ cultist And here's the comparison with my old cultist. I made it quite similar so I could mix them on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Big thanks to Augustus b'Raass for the motivation speech about big models, it helped (by the way go see is stuff it's amazing). So, the conversion is still an early stage. The armor plates and the front claws are glued. Tail canon right side is now finished. I didn't like the blade ''pincer'' that was supposed to be there, so I made horns and fleshy growths to tie it with the other daemon engines that have a lot of fleshy parts. I also add skulls imbedded in it, like the khorgorath haves. Legs and armor plates are going to sprout metal spikes Please let me know what you guys think bigtrouble, MithrilForge, Brother Carpenter and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Carpenter Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Fantastic gs work. Your painting is also very nice, very good colour choice. Bravo! YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hey all, I have decided that I'll try to make an update each week or so. This should force me to be less lazy an work on my models XD This is the finished sculpt for the left side of the tail cannon The metal basecoat is complet and the grey armor platings basecoat is going well (about 50% done) Please let me know what you guys think. If you have any good hints or ideas I'm all ears. Stay safe, Urauloth, Doghouse, Brother Carpenter and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naryn Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Love the work to make it a little more organic! Very impressive project and I can't wait to see more. YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) +++Weekly update+++ Basecoating is still going pretty well, but is a long way from being finished I don't know why, but the zandri dust seems green in the photos (but not in real life...) Also, Question: I was thinking about buying Anacharis Scorpia to use as a Hellwright on dark abeyant. What do you guys think about it ?

oldschoolsavant Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Just checking out your thread, love the pale/warp glow scheme, the Warpsmith conversion is stellar, and you're cracking on with the Scorpion just fine. Looking forward to seeing more ! YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi everyone, here is the weekly update. I have started the shading/staining/layering process. So far I'm quite happy with it I'm going on vacantion so I'll have to take a two weeks pause because I won't be home.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Love the "demonizing" you've done to this model, particularly around its tail gun - top notch work, and really what the model should look like. Your paint scheme is great too and very well executed.- it really stands out. YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I'm Back I almost done the front armor plates Details for the khorne symbol I'll add some valejo fluo to the white runes to make them look like they glow I hope you guys will enjoy Edited August 15, 2022 by YannTheMad CaptainFrederickson, Dr_Ruminahui, RolandTHTG and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Coming on very nicely indeed, love all the sigils and runes, a glowing effect is going to look so cool! YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Time for this week update The front armor plates are done. I made sort of a cog/gear with the trim over the canon so it'll seem more "mechanicusy" I also made a dark mechanicus emblem the same way I did for my Warpsmith (see end of page 2) With a little luck/effort, the brass scorpion will be done by next weekend.

Thank you a lot, I'm very excited to see the result of the glowing part as there will also be the base of every spike puncturing the hull/armor. I hope it will look like overheated metal Edited August 21, 2022 by YannTheMad Dr_Ruminahui, Kaiju Soze, RolandTHTG and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Weekly update. The greater brass scorpion is finished. I'm happy it's finished, but I'm a little dispointed. I know I have just myself to blame, but it seems to me a little flat... I'm also a little unhappy with how the ''overheated'' part of the spikes turned out. They do seem to glow, but doesn't look like hot metal. Maybe I'll try to rework it a little in the futur, but I don't know when or how. On the other hand, I've just started my DIY Dark Commune. I don't really like the GW one, except for the mindwitch, wich I find awesome. But it won't make me buy the entire kit. So I'll make my own, with blackjack and hookers, dark mechanicus style. Here's the Demagogue so far. I wanted to make it weird looking with a lot of Vox caster, a little like the GC clamavus. I imagine him/it screeching scrap codes and command orders to the machines and tech thralls he commands, surrounded by loud white noises and other unpleasing things. Let me know what you guys thinks, or if you have ideas for the rest of the dark commune models Edited August 28, 2022 by YannTheMad DaBoiKyknos, Khornestar, Xin Ceithan and 10 others 12 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 2022-09-03 Weekly update The demagogue is done. I'm really happy with how the sculpt turned out. Can't wait to paint it BUT I want to sculpt all the commune models first. And here's a very early WIP for the mindwitch As I said, VERY early.

Pearson73 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think you should be really proud of the Scorpion, it's not a small project and I think you gave it loads of cool details and a solid paint job. The demagogue also has some ace details, I'm very impressed by the bionics, what diameter are those rods? (I want to start DIYing some for my Iron Hands). The witch is gonna be creepy as hell!

Thanks a lot ^^ The rods are a assorted pack of from evergreen scale models (item 217). I think you can find some on amazon too by searching for "polystyrene rods". I would say that the ones i use the most are the 0.64 mm rods (rivets and fingers), the 0.88 mm (forearm and calf ''bones''), the 1.6mm (part of the articulations) 2.4mm tubes and rods (bigger part of articulations). They're pretty easy to work with And I think it would be great for some DIY Iron hands. I'm eager to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Your demogogue is awesome - I can't even think of doing something as fiddly as all those bionics.

YannTheMad Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Update 2022-09-10 Second entry for my Dark commune dark mechanicus style This is the mindwitch so far The cult mechanicus doesn't seem to have or to use psykers. This mindwitch could be an slave with a little psyker predisposition or maybe a tech-priest with a speck of affinity for the warp. I thought I'd make him kind of enslaved by some sort of contraption to boost or impose is warp abilities. The "machine" have an harm with an injector hand "stimulating" his powers. Of course the Delaque Spyker and the rogue psykers have been sources of inspiration for that one. I intend to make the head bigger and more cauliflower-ish and to add some sort of antennas on his back carapace. Hope you'll like it.

ElDuderino Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Amazing conversions! You obviously have a great eye for kitbashing, every one of these is creative and don't really look like any other models I've seen. More like old 3rd edition art, eerie vibe and all. Everything looks fiddly as hell too, I can't really tell how you've managed to put these together without getting glue all over everything haha, kudos.

YannTheMad Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Update 2022-09-17 @Valkia the Bloody @DaBoiKyknos @FollowerofDG Thanks a lot guys it means a lot to me. @ElDuderino Thx. In fact, I'm a child from the 3rd edition. I fell in love with CSM back than. I'd think the 3rd edition aesthetic is still stuck in the back of my brain, wich is a good thing because in my opinion everything was a lot more grimdark in that time. I did put a lot on glue on my fingers XD but not too much on the models. The mindwitch is done ^^ And as for the demagogue I'm really please the result. I did also started the Iconarch, but I'm really not sur about it yet. I might start it over Sorry for the blurry photo but there's not much to see anyway. I hope you guys will enjoy. Have a great week RolandTHTG, CaptainFrederickson, Khornestar and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
