Brother Gothard Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Does this method of respresenting Daemonic Speed work for you? I'm too tired to mix up some GS tonight, but the horse is getting zombified with plenty of green stuff. Picture dangling organs, rotted and drooping flesh, pock marks, etc. Maybe even some small organic venting structures on his back. But the main question is: does using Skeletal horses to make Plague Centaurs work for you? Can you picture an entire squad of 7 of these monstrosities? If so, (or even if not) here is the next question: Backpacks - yay or nay? I may use Carrion wings to represent flight, and if they fit I may tack them onto my Lord model just for fun. What do you think of that? Comments and criticism greatly appreciated. I know it's just the basic idea, but I want to know what you think about it.

gazgrub Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 wow, thats actully a nice idea. works very well in my opinon! Gazgrub Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinghippo Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 At first when I saw this I thought "that would be a sweet IW conversion..." the skeletal horses really look mechanical. But it will also look great for nurgle too. This may be a little to disgusting/sick but what about having the horses head sorta hanging in the front with it's neck broken :) I think they fit perfectly for demonic speed. I think I would add backpacks. Either that or huge flowing tattered cape...

Legacy40k Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 yep, great idea, also suitable for deamonic steed. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenflame Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's a really nice idea. I say no to the backpack...maybe if you want, have some sort of organic vents on the back of the armour as well.

magnum_opera Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Very cool idea you have, I think I've seen something similar using a more mechanical looking steed. Backpacks would be cool, I think, but I wouldn't give the Lord Carrion wings for aesthetic purposes. I mean, how the hell does that work? Flying centaurs don't fly.

Boltman Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What a neat idea, very original! I say no backpack, they don'T need them and you don'T want anything obstructing the back of the horse body. How about of, instead of the backpack, make a few organic exhausts like Typhus has?

Veht Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 http://www.infinitychamber.com/images/veht-tiny.gif T hat is a beautiful conversion. As for the backpack, I am also throwing my vote into the "No" pile. The wings idea sounds much more intriguing (although I must admit, I am a sucker for wings), if not, I also liked the comment about some sort of tubes or organs growing back there. Either direction you go, it's going to come out wonderfully.

mr_lee_ Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 A cloak/cape of some sort would look REALLY good on that model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurgling Wiggy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Personally I dont like this form of 'showing' D speed. After all, D Speed doesn't actually have to be represented on the model itself.

juckto Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Umm, why not? The model has mutatons such as long limbs or four legs which allow it to move as Cavalry. I think a flowing mane might look good, but probably wouldn't work with Nurgle.

XgenAdam Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 While I don't think you could get away with the backpack you could just remove the vents from the pack and either model them onto the torso opof the rider or the body of the horse. but overall i tihnk its a great idea, its nice to see those creative juices flowing! :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I agree with the rest of the guys, definitely a cool idea. I'm assuming a nurgle army? (or at least marine?)

RADU LYKAN Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 yep its a goodun, I had the same kind of idea for khorne chosen,but with cold one bodies. the back pack is not needed in my opinion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hat Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Personally, I think it's a good idea. I do think, however, that once the arms and shoulderpads have been added a backpack might become more necessary to balance the forward bulk of the Marine- alternatively, I think the "lighter" look (more consistent with being a fast mover) might be better maintained by giving him bare arms, in which case just shove a couple of vents on his back to keep him looking that way. That guy with bare arms and a chainsword and pistol would look fantastic, IMO. Either way- defer judgement on the backpack until you've seen what he looks like with arms.

DCEET Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Very original, like everyone here I think thats a no on the backpack. Im not 100% sure on the wings, may over crowd the model a little too much. Maybe another squad with Carrion wings? ;) Shame that Nurgle's number isnt four.......the four horsemen, rock on! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1037648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Gothard Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hmm, the more I think about the idea of bare arms the more I like it. Lets say I were to use bare arms, which would be a better fit? Orks, Catachans, or Marauders? Please, only those that have used them or seen them. To me I would think Catachans or Marauders would work best, but I haven't seen any of them. Thoughts?

Aquilla Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Use marauder arms. Orks are too big and catachans plastics have only about two pairs of arms per box that are not holding lasrifles.

rabid bunny 666 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Don't just zombify the horse dude! try some funky textures like on the Forge World Chaos Spawn, it would look awsome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90174-early-concept-shot-for-daemonic-speed/#findComment-1039222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Monkey Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 waht a crackin idea, plauge centars, wonder why nobody has done it before. I would give em backbacks, they would need to be adapted some how tho. possibly with tubes and things hooked up to his re-breather.

I was thinking of Catachan arms (Ork arms are too bulky, though they'd be good for Posessed), but Aquilla is right- you don't get much actual poseability with the Catachans, they're all holding Lasguns. I think you're best off using Marauder arms, and as a bonus you'll get a bunch of Chaos bits and funky-looking CCWs too. I know I like to use Empire and Bretonnian bitz for my Templars.

Morningshadow Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 My votes on marauder arms. I used them on some space wolf scout conversions and they worked out great.
