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

[YannTheMad]

@Boc Thanks ^^ I like to make each character models really stand out and unique.

@Pearson73 Thanks mate I'm really proud it :-P

 

Fortunately, this week went way better and Im in a better head space.

The master of possession is finally taking form, but is still really far from being finish.

Sorry for the weird camera angles...

 

He doesn't have a base yet, so taking ok-ish pictures was hard.

 

Here is the concept so far: 

He's going to be levitating like the original master of possession. With flame or something holding him in the air.

He's gonna have a psyker slave torso fused in front of is own torso/belly, with the scalp pealed open and its brain exposed.

He's gonna have weird mecanical claws/fingers/hooks? going out his maw and poking (manipulating) the slave psyker brain.

That it at the moment.

 

I wanted to do something dark and grisly to a stupid high level, and I think my idea is quite good and, I hope, unique. Beyond even normal chaos space marines standard, almost dark eldarish or Fabius Bile like.

 

So far Im quite happy with it.

 

What do you guys think ? Is it too much ?

 

Thanks for being here.

 

Have a great week!

[YannTheMad]

Here is this week progress.

 

Legs are done.

Head is done.

Little mouth fingers playing in a brain are done ^^

I used the chosen champion cape to start a mechanicus cloak/mantle.

 

 

 

 

However, I find my progress really slow and tiring... I may make a little pause after this one.

 

As always, let me know what you guys think.

 

Have a great week !

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

That's ... not at all disturbing!

[Brother Carpenter]

Hmmm rather disturbing in a good way.

Reminds me of a recipy I once heared about eating ape brains while the ape is still alive...

[YannTheMad]

@Brother Carpenter

Honestly I don't know if this is an urban legend... I mean I know for a fact that some culture do eat monkey brain, but alive? That's is kind of F* up...

But the world can be a dark place, so you might right.

 

[YannTheMad]

It's starting to really take form at last

 

  

 

Cybernetics just need some rivets to be done

Staff of possession is done. I wanted to keep it super simple and practical to contrast with some of the more over the top details. Also, I wanted to make the model focus more on some kind of demented dark science than straight up sorcery.

The rod making him float looks weird at the moment but will eventualy become an eldritch flame with some skulls/screaming faces in it.

 

I'm only starting to have some ideas for the backpack, but so far it should be weird and wicked.

 

Comments and ideas are more than welcome as ever.

 

Have a great week!

[Boc]

This is great! I hadn't had nightmares in a good while so thanks for helping? I guess? 

 

Outstanding progress

[Firedrake Cordova]

Yeah, that's just "mildly disturbing"  

 

Great work!  

[YannTheMad]

@Boc Mechanicus is already pretty dark, so dark mechanicus have to be nightmare inducing no? ;-)

@Firedrake Cordova Juste mildy ? crap... XD

 

So everything is done except the "backpack", wich shouln'd be too long.

Honestly, I think that one is turning out quite nice and I'm happy with it.

 

     

 

Let me know what you guys think^^

 

Next stop; Sorcerer... Or maybe Vashtor? I won't buy the battle box but I might prepare some stuff before his solo release,

...Or I might paint a little too idk

 

In every case, have a great week !

[Pearson73]

What a monstrosity! Love it!

[Sherrypie]

Nice! I particularly like how you manage to make the scratchbuilt limbs suitably spindly and inhumane, keeping with the atrophied look of the tortured psyker.

[YannTheMad]

@Pearson73 Thanks ^^ I'm pretty proud of it

@Sherrypie Those outstrech fingered hands are some of my favortie parts, I wish they were easier to get by... They're perfect for the weird and grotesque aesthetic I try to go for with my dark mechanicus. Thank you ^^

 

So the master of possession is almoooooooost done.

The backpack, if you can call a bunch of fused, used up psyker slaves a backpack, is almost done. Just needs a little more barbed wire, tubes and outstreched flesh.

I really love the effect so far. One of my grimmest idea I think.

 

 

 

I would have finished too, but I took a "xenos sidestep" to the knee...

 

 

 

I don't intend to make GS models often, but I'm kitbashing/scratchbuilding this kellermorph for my big brother. He really like the model and the rules but he's kinda short on money and can't afford one at the moment.

So I took some neophyte parts I wasn't using and started making one. I want to be done for easter because it will be the first time I'll see my borther in a while (he lives 7 hours away by car so it isn't close and I don't get to see my family often).

I'm really happy with how the pistols turned out. I tried to make some oldschool long colt revolvers.

It just needs some kind of cloak and it will be finished.

 

As always, I love reading your comments and ideas.

 

Have a great week !

[Firedrake Cordova]

The master of possession looks quite scary!  

 

I like the "not Keelermorph" too   

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova Thank you kind sir ^^

 

Done and done !

 

Last details of the master of possession are finished. I think it as been my hardest build so far, but I'm very happy with the result.

Nothing much was added, just some cables and a bionic eye for the "servo-skull".

 

The kelermorph was outside of my comfort zone. He's way more simple than the master of possession. Still, I'm happy with the result.

 

Next stop: Magos biologis ! Someone has to graft all those poor souls to the hellforge priest.

 

Anyway, have a great week !

 

 

[Boc]

Dude I cannot wait to see some paint on that MoP, it's looking phenomenal 

[YannTheMad]

@Boc Thanks! Im really eager to put some color on him. But as I had yet another sculpt idea, painting will be postponed (again XD)

 

Here is my Magos Biologis so far. In my mind, the lore of this genetor would be that he is a pure Vogelist. He's been one of the student of Bile for a time, mastering is craft beyond good pratice or taste. He's the one responsible for the heretical grafting of servitors and other beings on the other member of the dark cult he is meber of. The new flesh is strong!

 

 

 

 

Of course, I'll play him as Fabius Bile on the table.

I took inspiration from the new Dante iron halo for the head gear. Lamprey mouth as the rest of the cult higher members. 

The cybernetic feet are still incomplete, but they act as stilts, so the dude is almost ogryn tall.

I'll probably fill the seems of the skin coat to make a more regular one and further differentiate him from Bile.

 

I love the surgeon acolyte model, so his modification will be minimal. I'll just add a hood and maybe some lenses.

 

BTW, am I the only one who is weirded out by the fact that Fabius Bile have a reflex hammer in his toolkit?

 

ANyway, have a great week guys!

 

[YannTheMad]

Here's the progress on the magos biologist

 

The chest armor is finished. One of the three weird little arms on the right side is almost done. I didn't think a genetor (or Bile for the matter) would have any interest in a simple trophy, so I took it away. 

 

 

 

I'm glad with the progress so far. Not too sure about how I'll do the rob of torment, but I still have time to figure it out.

 

Have a great week!

 

[Boc]

Looking awesome! Reminds me a bit of this guy

[YannTheMad]

"No! you take my little hand !"

 

I honestly thought of it while bulding it XD, there is 8 digits on mne tho ^^

[Pearson73]

Love the pose and the asymmetry between the twisted malformed arm and its bulkier astartes counterpart.

[YannTheMad]

Here's some (slow) progress

 

Tiny weird arms = Almost done

Covering all the seems from the skin coat = Also almost done

Weird servitor backpack = in progress, about 1/5th done

 

 

I'm quite happy with thhe result so far. The genetor as a different vibe from Fabius Bile and will fit in my dark mechanicum style, but still as all it takes to be played (not often XD) as Bile.

 

Have a great week!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Definitely looks great to me - I'm continually impressed by your Green Stuff skills!

[ZeroWolf]

Outstanding work!

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova@ZeroWolf Thanks a lot kind sirs ^^

 

So here's this week update

 

The Heretic Magos Biologist is now a decapod (take that Bile, 8 legs are for losers anyway...) and he as a mate!

He's grafted buddy is a little hard to see but it's a darktide inspired medicae servitor.

Hopefully, the paint will help distinguish it a little

 

 

I think the ruststalker head does the trick in terms of size and general aesthetic.

With a little lot I won't fundle too much with what's remaining of the sculpt and will have finished by the end of this week.

 

++Open question: does anyone has a size comparison between a chaos spawn and a cultist torment? Cause I'm starting to have an idea that I would like to fit both roles++

 

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Have a great week !

[YannTheMad]

Modeling is done.

Im realizing that I didn't paint since I make my brasse scorpion, wich was way back.

I'm quite rusted and a little unsure how to proceed, but oh well...

 

Here is the result so far

 

  

I happy with the model, I think it's just far enough from the original fabius Bile. I also think his color are really gonna tie him with the mechanicus theme.

 

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Have a great week!
