Rorschach Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Reading the article in the latest WD on the Mortifactors, I sort of fell in love with their fluff. Death-crazed cannibals with iconography of skulls and more death galore - what's not to like? So I set about converting a model or two from my bits box, just to check out if I actually enjoyed working with them, or they were to stay inside my head as one of the numerous ideas I have that just never grow real. Here's what I came up with. He's not quite done - I still haven't done his Crozius, and I haven't decided on a Jump Pack or backpack with bannerpole for him yet. Time will show, methinks. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0342.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0344.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0345.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0346.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0347.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrons_Chosen Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 That. is. a. whole lotta skulls. I would go crazy doing that much cutting, and i play khorne. Get some more done to him and paint him up! He looks great! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Looks like a great start! I really like the placard. Nit pick: it seems to me like he'd have it facing forward. He has a very thrusting motion to him which with the text/image going off to the side could come off as using it like a crutch to pull himself along.

Gyson_Vore Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Awsome, at first I thought he had a bit of a two bladed sword... I like the multitude of bits, the Black Templar tabard really gives the Chappie feel.

Rorschach Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks for the kind words... and yes, Angron's Chosen, all those skulls were indeed hell. Took about five hours to cut and glue them all. While the black primer dried, I built a Crozius for him. As he already has a rather large object in his right hand, I decided to create it more in the style of a Badge Of Office, rather than a weapon, to balance the model a bit. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0352.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0349.jpg As for the model itself, paintwork will commence within the next few hours. I'll post updates along the way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Very nice, when he gets on the table the enemy will probably soil themselves before first turn. I really can't wait to see him don, and what else you convert for this army. ((Hello many more skulls.)) I could see maybe a skeleton torso and arms and head on the banner thing a sort of 'portable left overs' sort of thing.

FaeLi-N Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 WOW. Where did all those skulls come from?! Haven't read the fluff myself, would appreciate a link, but I can't WAIT to see more!

ironloki Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Joker was doing a similar thing with the BT sprue's. Looks sweet and I love that base every although all those skulls must have taken a while to sort :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakm0nkey Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Im diffinately feeling it man, the makeshift cross piece in his right hand is a good touch. and btw you didnt have to go through all that trouble to make that base, you can buy skull bases online(a whole morti. army on skull bases would look sick!!). P.S.: that sig link is hilariously random, KUDOS to that and the model for dorn FM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks for all the comments! @ FaeLi-N; All those skulls come from about ten Chaos Vehicle Accessory sprues, and a bucketload of patience :P @ Svarte Hanske; A little graphic there, I feel... @ flakm0nkey; Skull bases, hmmm... Forge World? If you have a quick link I'd appreciate it - to busy painting to look for myself! As for the sig, yeah, I kinda enjoyed that randomness the first time I got it too :P Speaking of painting; I'm quite finished with the base, take a look, y'all. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0355.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0354.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 OK. It's 05:35am and I find myself having gone as far as I can with this model for tonight. I'll continue tomorrow.

ale0x Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Very cool, but I think Mortifactors should be done up in a more tribal style. They're headhunting cannibals, after all. I think one of my next GD entries will be a squad of Mortifactor headhunters decked out with shrunken heads, severed ears and eyes and other fetishes & totems, feathers, animal pelts, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1009499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Stickabee Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm not one to sling criticism around, and am hardly going to start here. This is a very nice conversion. That being said, when I look at it, I get the feeling that the bottom half of the banner pole (or whatever it is) is a bit thick, both for his hand, and for the upper half. Good luck on this as it could very easily turn out to be one VERY cool mini.

Svarte Hanske Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Uhm... Look at the colour of the tabard. I'm afraid that will turn out to be skin (TAU-skin, I hope...) by next paint-job. Scary!

Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Uhm... Look at the colour of the tabard. I'm afraid that will turn out to be skin (TAU-skin, I hope...) by next paint-job. Scary! Tau skin is blue and fishy, and if there's something I won't develop this tabard into, it's blue and fishy... in fact, the tabard is mostly done. Just some highlighting and darkening the recesses, and I'll consider it done.

Rorschach Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Mostly done conversion- and list-work today... as such, I have decided that Jump Packs and this fella ain't for each other. As he has already gotten both feet well planted into the OTT-ballbark, i decided to build on that and give him a banner to go with it. It will contain some sort of freehand of which I am not yet certain what will be. I've also done some touching up and highlighting on the tabard and chain/Rosarius. Here ye go. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0370.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0371.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87180-wip-mortifactors-chaplain/#findComment-1010201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Simply amazing. Maybe as far as symbols go, a skull ((minus the jaw)) weeping blood?

Nephelim Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Coming along quite nicely - although it seems like the black undercoat has had an attack of the "furries" - A nice evocative base. It'll be good to see this mini when it is finished. Keep going!
