YannTheMad Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 First, just a comment I can't help but feel, as @KrautScientist pointed out a while back, that it feels like the forum has gone silent once again. Sure, people still likes the post, but the comments, ideas and even criticisms tend to disappear... That being said! By this time I should have finished my accursed cultists but my ADHD struck again and here's the last big boy so far. Wich is a really early foil papery stage... But, a new high ranking techpriest has arise ! That one will play the role of a forgefiend. It's inspired by a conversion of one made with an heldrake body I saw way back. I never liked the heldrake, but at the time it came out it seemed like everybody NEEDED a flyer in there army list so I bought one. I built the main body, but never use it. So I had the idea of a big crab/tripod like armored frame, driven by an techpriest, not servitor or daemon engine. Let me know what you guys think! Have a great week!

Pearson73 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Man, I know I say this with almost every new thing you post, but I LOVE this! The Drake body works really well for the main bulk of the model and the two engines/sludge tanks/whatevers really shunt it into the daemon-engine/Mechanicus realm. I also agree with the levels of activity being quite variable on the forum, I think it's too easy to leave a reaction and intend to comment later, but then forget. At least I know I do that too often!

Firedrake Cordova Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I agree with @Pearson73 - that looks absolutely awesome.

YannTheMad Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 @Pearson73 Yeah I'm pretty happy with the whole "silhouette" of the daemon engin so far. The tanks are meant to be a throw back to the older daemon engines. Those are supposed to be some kind of containment chambers for the binded daemon essence. Like on the decimator or the blood slaugtherer. They could be some ectoplasm/ fuel reserves too ;-) And for the forum activity, I'm just as guilty as most... But it still sadden me a little XD @Firedrake Cordova Thanks as always, you're this part of the forum MVP ^^ Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368340-yannthemads-chaos-stuff-diy-vashtorr-progress-claws-done-claw-claws/page/10/#findComment-6004304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Kasen Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 That forgefiend conversion is awesome, using the helldrake body is inspired. Love the techpriest pilot too.

Wormwoods Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Damn, where would we be without the Greenstuff World cable making tool? I'm a dedicated adherent myself. I really need to try building cybernetic limbs from scratch like that, that looks awesome. Also, are those Chaos Marauder shields on the backs of those tanks?

YannTheMad Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 @Magos Kasen Thanks a lot, but I can't take credit for the heldrake torso though, cause I took inspiration of something I saw way back... Just without the forgefiend/maulerfiend neck to elevate it from the legs. Wich really had to it's general look a do think ^^ @Wormwoods Yeah I know, I hesitated a while before buying it and should'nt have. This tool is awsome. The cybernetics are quite easily done, plasticard tubes/rods and tweezers. And you're almost right, the tank's lids are marauder horsement shields ^^ BTW, I'm quite intrigued by your profile picture. I would love to see that whole mini.

The grimdark level is over the top. The bloodangel successors are cool too ;-) But I'm in awe over your ordo xenos stuff Here's this week progress The bulk of it is done. I added the cog halo the the techpriest. Added some pedipalp pincers so the priest could handle stuff. Next step: Magnetize the guns and add some details, and it should be done.

Rusted Boltgun Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I'm in awe of your GS work, the way it integrates with the existing plastic. My favourites.so far have been the accursed cultists but each models oozes such menacing creepiness, the stuff of nightmares!

Wormwoods Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Pedipalps are the best part of the spider, I'm always saying this. They look good up there, too, I think I was expecting some guns up there, but there's something pleasantly biological about this option.

tinpact Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The sculpting work is, of course, incredible - reminds me I want to get to work on my unit filler for Fantasy - but I really love the Crayola back cylinders.

YannTheMad Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) @Rusted Boltgun I do love my accursed cultists. I must say I've grown more fond of the "mortal" elements of the chaos forces than the regular over the top CSM lately. @Wormwoods Yeah, pedipalps are the jam. Guns were comming. But on the back, not the front. @Firedrake Cordova Thanks mate @tinpact Thanks. I had the idea to make "tanks" for a while when I realised my daughter old used up crayola might just do the trick, and they did! It's been a while since I posted anything. I've been feeling kinda blue lately, as one does. Than again, I DID work on the hobby. Forgefiend has been done for a while. I'm mostly happy with it The third torment is also done, wich finish the whole squad. Honestly, it's my favorite favorite of the 3. It's kind of way bigger too, but hey! chaos... I've also finished my regular cultists that I've started a long (years) ago. Those are low "c" coonversions, but I still like them. That's a big post, so thanks a lot for taking the time to look at it. I hope you'll enjoy. Please leave a comment, ctritic or idea. I think I,ll relax from conversions and paint a little.

Wormwoods Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Very excited to see some paint of these lovely conversions! Also, very funny to see those cultists described as 'low c' conversions, given they're pretty heavy kitbashes, and include some scratch-built parts! Regardless, excited to see it all together, and in context. It's one thing to have a huge, gnarly machine-monsters alone, quite another to see it among all the little guys. Can't wait!

Firedrake Cordova Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Amazing work, as per usual The forgefiend is looking great .... there's something quite disturbing about the "driver" - both in general appearance, and pose (it seems to be a mix of aggression and distress?). The final torment is very fine work - the musculature and green-stuff looks great, and I like the "backwards" chainswords - it's as if a dark Tech Priest saw a Hormagaunt and thought, "looks good, but needs more chain-teeth" The whole lot look great together, and are suitably creepy. Like @Wormwoods says, it'll be good to see them with some paint on them - I'm sure they'll look great YannTheMad 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368340-yannthemads-chaos-stuff-diy-vashtorr-progress-claws-done-claw-claws/page/10/#findComment-6009785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannTheMad Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) @Wormwoods I Mean, I hadn't worked as hard on the regular cultists the accursed ones for exemple. I find easier kitbashes like those less demanding to do, hence the "low c". Greenstuff gives mostly great results, but it's very energy consuming. The size variations between the differrent units make the whole very interesthing, much like a tyranid army I'd say. I'll take a pictured of my whole mechanicum force when more of it will be painted. @Firedrake CordovaThanks ! I don't know if I intended to make the "driver" of the forgefiend rig ditress, but I think it's a good take on it. A little like a gaunt, mangy dog. If you go close it'll lash out. For the last torment you're almost right XD I was thinking about lictor claws, not hormagaunts. But they're still pretty close. Techpriest goes " is that! It so scary! I want one...".

YannTheMad Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Last post before the holidays. Two torments are done. I'm quite happy with them. I don't usually do rust and grime for my Dark Mechanicum, because I'd guess members would take care of maintaining the engines and gears. Even the regular cultists. But i'd doupt anybody would consider going near the accursed ones. They'd just let them loose on the battlefield I guess. Let me know what you guys think Happy Holidays!

Firedrake Cordova Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Really nice - I like the rusted blades and heavily scraped hazard stripes on the chainswords. I think your logic is sound - the torments would probably see the maintenance crew as "practice".

Wormwoods Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Brilliant. Love the little spot of colour on those green injectors on the second one! What's your rusty metal mix?

YannTheMad Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 @Firedrake Cordova Or see them as food... In all case, nothing good for the maintenance crew XD @Wormwoods Thanks ^^ So I'm using really old stuff: Base of boltgun metal (leadbelcher?), drybrush of chainmail (idk the new version of that one...), typhus corrosion technical spots and a drybrush of riza rust. I'll be honest I don't know if either of typhus corrosion or riza rust still exist Firedrake Cordova and tinpact 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368340-yannthemads-chaos-stuff-diy-vashtorr-progress-claws-done-claw-claws/page/10/#findComment-6011600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ezra Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Those torments are amazing! Love their paintjob, I can really imagine them stalking the depths of some Hell-Forge!
