YannTheMad's chaos Stuff - DIY Vashtorr progress (claw's done! claw... claws?)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Might as well green stuff a fleshy growth upon the Warpsmith's backpack, to go with his leech-like head and the face on his breastplate. Tentacle-like mechatendrils look "wrong," and thus, are perfectly appropriate for the Warpsmith.

[YannTheMad]

@Bjorn Firewalker

 

It will probably be a fleshy growth ^^ Still not sure about the tendrils tho...

 

Anyway

 

I didn't had a lot of time with the confinement/job overtime/family, but here's what I've done new so far

 

 

I'm still pretty happy with it. The robe has been a bitch the make but I think it will looke great when it'll be painted.

 

Let me know what you  guys think

 

Stay safe

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The hose leading to the mouth of the face on the Warpsmith's breastplate, reminds me of those a "death stench" biological weapon infected, in Ito Junji's horror manga Gyo. Did Nurgle bless the Warpsmith?

[space wolf]

Absolutely wicked!  Well done!

[Kaiju Soze]

I, personally, am a fan of mechatendrils for CSM; they tie in better with the look of power scourges and laser tendrils on other miniatures.

[YannTheMad]

Little weekly update

 

I'm quite happy with the robotic/prosthetic arm. I'll add a robe sleeve and a combi-bolter (angelbane?) to the other ''regular'' arm.

I tought about it and I'm gonna make both tendrils and servoarms. The melee ones will be centiped like tendrils (Or I'll try to make it centiped like...). The two lower ones will be the melta and flamer mounted on servoarms

[YannTheMad]

God I'm slow...

 

But here it is, my first mechatendril

 

I still need to do alot of work on the fleshy hump (And three tentacles obviously...) But the warpsmith iis almost done

 

Let me know what you guys think, it actually means a lot to me

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Is the mechatendril from a third party?

[YannTheMad]

Is the mechatendril from a third party?

 

No,

 

It's made of plasticard... It needs some more details but I'm quite happy with it segmented look. I personnaly am not a fan of the classic rollmaker mechatendrils

[Kaiju Soze]

That mechatendril looks fantastic, but incredibly fiddly to make.

[Doghouse]

Fantastic stuff, you've done a great job on the Mechatendril and the green stuff is really nice. I especially like the bionics, your steady pace is really paying off. :tu:

[Syrakul]

That is fantastic plasticard work there, kudos on building from scratch. The claw at the end especially with all the joints looks great, and properly dark-mech.

 

Feels like he should be holding something in his hand that he is pondering and prying at with the mecha arm?

 

Also now it seems he needs more on the other side of his back to balance it out.

 

I know you now have an aesthetic from your scratch built arm to match, but have you considered talos/cronos arms? That kit is a goldmine for dark mech

Thanks a lot mates

So yeah, the claw is going to hold a damaged necron warrior head. I think that an heretek would have a keen interest into necrontyr tech...

 

There will be 3 other mechatendrils/servoarms. 2 on each side of the fleshy growth.

 

And I'm aware of the little talos arms ;-) but I have another project for them

 

Should have more to show soon 

 

Stay safe guys

[YannTheMad]

So,

 

Here's an update of my progress so far

 

The second mechatendril is finish, so to speak

 

 

And here is the fleshy growth so far, it while still grow a little bigger when the two other ''limbs'' will be add

 

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

 

Stay safe

[YannTheMad]

So, Warpsmith almost finished

 

So here is the twinbolter ans the melta/flamer multi-tool

 

 

 

 

Just need a little greenstuff job on the fleshy growth and on the tentacles

 

Let me know what you guys think,

 

Stay safe

[Zebulon]

These are very cool. So distinctive and a great way to make the most of assorted bits (and in fairness some very good sculpting too)

[YannTheMad]

God its been a while...

 

So, here's my chaos lord/Obsidius Mallex, with classic plasma pistol and hammer

 

As you can see, he's matching my master of executions aesthetic

 

 

 

It's been really long but I'm happy with it.

 

Hope you guys will like it

[Sherrypie]

Very cool stuff, those mechadendrites in particular are beautiful.

I'm currently painting my warpsmith/Sarum hellpriest 

 

I should post it soon

[Valkia the Bloody]

Love your conversions. Very creepy. Suits perfectly.

[Wulf Vengis]

These are amazing works. The colors are on point and unique. The greenstuff looks incredible and those mechatendrils are just mind blowing.

Great work all around I hope to see more of this project.

Thanks a lot, I wanted to make them odd and eerie, ghostlike...

 

So far, I'm pretty happy with the results, especially the HQs
