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

[Terminatorinhell]

These are so horrific and cool

[Naryn]

So many amazing details i can barely figure out which part i should be quavering in fear of. Outstanding conversion.

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova @Kaiju Soze @Terminatorinhell @Naryn 

Thanks a lot guys.

 

I can't really say this is still "weekly chaos" as I intended... I lack the discipline I guess.

I took a little hiatus and went back to what I started before the daemon prince took all the space.

 

I wanted to make something with my zombie parts.

And, when I first had the idea, the deadspace remake just came out.

 

So the idea for techno-necromorph was born. Nothing original or fancy, but I liked it so far.

 

 

 

I wanted them to look like some kind of shambling, expendable, cc servitors.

I got a good idea of what i'll make with the other 3 accursed cultists, but not with the big guys.

 

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Have a great week!

[Firedrake Cordova]

The scratch-building is very impressive - I can't imagine working with plasticard tubing, etc, at that scale!

 

My first reaction was that it made me think of a Chaos Magos who saw a Necron Flayed One and thought "I'll make one of those"  

 

 

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova

Thanks ^^ You can't do as much details with plasticard, but fore me it's quicker and easier to work with than greenstuff.

 

While flawed ones where not the source inspiration, I can see where you got the idea.

Lore wise, it would logical that the magos(es?) responsable for those have taken inspiration, or even derived poorly understood necron tech.

It would account for the accursed cultist regeneration too... Bootlegged reanimation protocole?

To be honest, I thought the amount of detail around the joints in the limbs was rather impressive (it was one of the first things I noticed)  

[Pearson73]

Oh the combat servitor is very cool indeed, a large mob of them will look amazing shambling up the field.

[YannTheMad]

@Pearson73 Thanks. At the moment I'm just planning on five regular one and three big guys as they will count as accursed cultists.

So it won't be a large, but a rather small mob.

Still, I really enjoy doing the small ones so far, so I might enlarge the squad in the futur^^

[YannTheMad]

Here's this week progress

 

Accursed cultist 2 and 3 done ! 2 to go... 

 

 

 

 

Got a pretty good idea what I want to do with the last 2 ones, but not for the big guys...

 

Anyway, Have a great week!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Very nice work, @YannTheMad - I like that the first one is made out of a "40Kified" zombie  I'm sure the head of the second one is inspired by an GW model I can't place, but it reminds me of a "Snork" from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (those really gave me the creeps!)

[YannTheMad]

Thanks @Firedrake Cordova

I must admit that I wasn't even aware of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game... But yeah, the cultist does look a lot like that "snork" guy.

But to be honest, I just wanted him to look a little like my "normal" cultists that are made with forgeworld renegade militia parts, hence the gazmask, hood and armor.

 

I started the 4th cultist and made him to be like a squad champion, even tough accursed cultists don't have champions...

 

So he's still an early wip. He'll eventually have some armor plates added like a mechanicus-y loincloth, some tubes and cables and a Lamprey mask. I'm thinking of some disgraced techpriest turned into a combat servitor or something.

 

Than I finally had an idea for the torments, and the 4th small guy made way for the 1rst big boy.

 

He's erly wip too, but so far I'm happy with it. And I do have som idea how to do the 2 other torments.

 

Let me know what you guys think ^^

 

Have a great week

 

[Kythnos]

Delightfully horrible! Where did you get the metal body of the Torment from?

[YannTheMad]

Well.... That's aluminium foil...

[Firedrake Cordova]

What @Kythnos said.

 

It's somewhat unbelievable the torment's body is made from foil! 

Edited October 10, 2023 by Firedrake Cordova

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova Thanks!

 

Honestly I find foil great for this purpose. It make a easy, but rough, core/base shape, it's SUPER cheap and it's light.

Whoah, that is certainly not what I would have guessed. Amazing what you make out of that

[YannTheMad]

@Kythnos Well it's only the "bulk" of the the torso. By now, it's pretty much all covered up with greenstuff

 

That said, Here's the progress

The first tech-torment is almost done !

 

 

It'll need some more work  in the groin/buttocks region and some touch up and details, but that's it

 

I'm pretty pleased with this one and I hope you guys will like it.

Let me know what you think!

 

Have a great week!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Looks great!

[ElDuderino]

Incredible work, can't think of much else to say. Absolutely stunning!

[Pearson73]

The Torment looks ace. I really like the mismatch between the bulky, enlarged torso and skinny legs. Defo makes it a more creepy figure.

 

The new cultists are great too, really love the aesthetic of your guys.

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova @ElDuderino Thanks a lot ^^

@Pearson73 Yeah I wanted to give it a chaos spawn-y silhouette with the disproportion of the legs vs the torso and arms

 

Sorry i've been kindda lazy and procrastinating lately.

 

The first torment is now done, but almost nothing has change. So I didn't took any new pictures.

 

But, the 4th mutant is done. I'm happy with it. Only one more to go.  

 

Aaand the second torment is well under way.

 

 

Wanna have a hug?

 

Anyway, that's all for now.

 

Let me know what you guys think

[Firedrake Cordova]

Well, they're both completely horrible and disconcerting to look at, so great work

[Bryan Blaire]

Agreed - you are capturing the wonderfulness of the savage, cool Chaos in these technodaemonic styled minis!

[YannTheMad]

@Firedrake Cordova @Bryan Blaire Thank you both guys ^^

 

Sooooo the accursed cultists squad is coming up real good.

 

Here's the 5th mutant finished. His pose is a little weird but I'm happy with the "augments".

 

 

 

The second torment is also finished

 

 

 

So that's that. Hope you guys like those.

Let me know what you think.

 

Have a great week!!

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They look great
