Demonica Class LandRaider

"In the depths of the eye of terror, on those worlds bound in blood, demon and machine have become fused, cohabiting the same metal shell. These lumbering metal behemoths act as warp conduits, summoning warriors and demons from across the stars into battle. The Demon inside the tank acting as the general of its infernal force.

A Demonica Class Land Raider is a fearsome sight to behold on the rare occasion that it can step from the warp. It stands as a war alter to Khorne. Unlike even other demon possessed tanks, the Demonica has no interior troop transport, it is instead filled with a powerful greater demon of Khorne.  Through the Demon's power the vehicle becomes a conduit for warp travel, allowing troops to assault directly into battle from the ships above, or even other warp shrouded planets. Although such travel is risky and takes up most of the demons power, so it can only be done rarely. The demonic energy does allow bloodletters to survive in close proximity to the greater demon, often riding along the hull, cutting down those who get too close the the might tank."

Some of you may remember this piece of artwork that I did quite a while ago:

A bit of New stuff

So after a long Hiatus of posting, I decided to post the finished Khornate Obliterators (actually a few rivets fell off, that I have to put back)

The conversions definitely took a lot longer than I thought they were going to, but I am pretty happy with how they turned out.

Is Everyone Eating There Khorne-Flakes?

So it has been awhile since I have posted anything, but have recently gotten back into some more serious modeling with the release of the newest Chaos Codex. I decided to do a conversion that I have wanted to do for awhile, Khornate Obliterators!

I was originally inspired by Warhammer In Progress's nurgle obliterators, and wanted to do something equally unique for my own. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do, and finally I decided to move forward on the project when I picked up GSI's tentacle maker.

So here is what I have so far:

The "Leader"

Terrors of the Deep

So I have not posted in quite awhile due to the unholy triforce of family issues, work, and the wife deciding to rearrange the whole house (including my painting room/office).

Anyway, I have been meaning to get this guy up here for awhile, I ended up re-sculpting his head from what I had posted earlier, and although not completely happy with it, I think it turned out better than I thought. I also had to stray from what I wanted to do with the Standard in order to get the appearance that I wanted. Also, not sure if I want to keep the standard how it is, I think I might change it for smaller "subtler" tentacles and try to make the fabric appear more worn and tattered. But without too much further ado, here is the standard bearer for my Son's of R'lyeh Squad.

Slaanesh VS. Khorne. Welcome to the Thunderdome!

Well, despite a growing addiction playing League of Legends online, I have managed to get some work done on the Slaanesh demon prince, the quite a bit modeled on the second berzerker squad and a bit done up on my second land raider. Without further adeiu, here are the pics,

First up, excited that he no longer has to walk everywhere like everyone else is the Slaanesh demon prince:

Following the newly winged horror, is the armored bulk of the red destroyer, a WE landraider,

 Not sure yet if the front will be hinged to actually flip up and open, or if I will just make it look like it could, but keep it sealed. I am leaning towards the second option for ease.

Finally, a new squad of bloodthirsty brutes has appeared on the horizen, praise be to the khorne, my the blood never cease flowing,

 Next up is Cap't Hook, don't really wanna shake his hand

 Following the Captain, is the Knight,

 I still need to add some more detail to the glaive, but I think it is turning out nicely.

I also have three more that are almost completed, and will post them and a squad shot once I have all the backpacks made up and put on. And finally, a recent accrual of some FLGS$ saw me get a box of CSM and the Son's of R'lyeh have returned to my workbench.

Here is the beginings of the Standard bearer:

Not Quite sure about the head yet, I may redo it. I am also going to add a banner type piece under neath the squid head for the banner.

Finally, I have a question to pose to everyone, I am thinking about redoing the horns of the Slaanesh demon prince to be something like this:

Basically making them into a symbol of slaanesh. The question is do you think it would look good? If I do this, then he will probably get quite a few more Slaanesh symbols which I have avoided putting on him thus far in trying to keep in nondenominational. Seeing as how I am planning on selling this piece, do you guys think it would be good to dedicate him to slaanesh (it is the best prince gamewise), or would it be better to leave him more neutral?

Until Next time, when I will have some concept sketches of landraiders to show, I am out!

Finishing up the Squad

So I got the rest of my berzerkers done for this first squad, so without further adieu, here they are:

First up is the finished mutant

Next is a berzerker with yet another wooden shield, what can I Say, Khorne knows defense.

Next is the second Mr. Skulls,

Now its the second running marine,

No its time for one of my Favorite, the Beast,

Finally, Semi-Permanent Leader for the Squad, His Majesty Kharn,

So there there are, in all their glory. A few things that I would like to point out. First, I am not completely happy with the way the hazard stripes turned out on the chainaxe and chainsword, I think I may try to touch them up a little bit, especially after seeing the pictures. Second, the base that the Beast is on is a Micro-Arts Studio Skull base. I plan on doing the whole army up on them, they are pretty cool. Also, on both Kharn's base and the Beasts I will be painting on some Khorne symbols on the foreheads.

Finally, what do you guys think about adding some battle damage and wear to the marines, it should look good with the verdigras brass. I did it for the first time on my Cthulhu Marine, and thought it turned out alright. That being said, I don't really want to mess up 2 weeks of painting with something that might not look good.

Tyler Out.

p.s. Aaargh! Blogger formatting is annoying me!

What have I been up to lately?

Well, I actually have been doing some modelling recently, especially getting some stuff painted. Here is a few of the things that I have been working on recently....

Just as a note these are the first pictures of miniatures that I have taken with my new camera and tripod...I'm thinking I love it, the only editing that I did was adding the watermark, not even resizing or cropping....

Berzerkers I really want to get my khorne army done so I have been painting mainly my first squad of berzerkers, and hopefully will start on the landraider once those are done.

 

 The last on is still a WIP, a little bit left to paint on him, but I figured I would take his pictures anyway.

Next up is some further progress on the Ork Mek that I am doing as a commission for my brother. Added a bit since the last post, just need to do some casting to finish up the work on his left arm power klaw.

Finally is one of my crazy fantasy conversions that I decided to do, its a Slaanesh/Night Lords type demon prince. I will probably end up selling it when I am done converting it, so if anyone is interested, hit me up.

Not sure if I am going to give him wings, a jump pack, or nothing yet. For those that were hoping for more Cthulhu marines they are coming, I have the bits for a standard bearer and am planning on doing a Librarian psyker, but I need to clear some of my backlog first.

So what do you guys think?

Some WIP stuff I have been working on

In an effort to post a little bit more regularly, and keep myself on track, I decided to post some WIP of a few of the things that I have been working on

Cthuhlu Base:

I just kinda did that in an hour last night on a whim,

And an Ork Mek that I have been working on for my brother:

What'cha think?

Sons of R'lyeh - Concept Marine Finished

So here is the painted and based Son of R'lyeh, I tried to push myself quite a bit on this miniature, trying both a lot of shading as well as some battle damage on the armor. I also tried water effects which I messed up twice before I started to get the hang of it. So without further ado, here he is:

So what do you guys think? These pics were just taken with my phone, hopefully I will get some better picture to post on Coolminiornot.com sometime this week.

BTW, if you haven't seen the WIP pics they are Here

Update on XV 89

I was hoping to get some pictures of a deamon prince I did awhile ago, but I havent been sent them yet, so just a small update for now. This is the progress I have made on my XV 89 Broadside Battlesuit. The arms are put together, but I need to wait until the greenstuff dries in order to glue them into place. I will then add cables to the backs of the railguns attaching them to the jump packs. Also I am debating how I want to do the head, I think it needs to be converted into something a little bit more stout, but am not sure how i am going to do that yet. Possibly thinking a rounded head with only 1 antennae, or both antennae on one side.... anyway here are the pics.

Some shots of it "together"





and some closeups of the arms and redone shoulder pads...






I am thinking about doing a tutorial on how do make the armor plate upgrades, redone jetpacks, and different railgun designs when I make my second suit, What do you guys think?

Also, does anyone know how to widen the margins on blogger? or what width pictures need to be? They keep getting cut off, and I would like to be able to not have to edit them too much or make them much smaller....
