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:

Landraider Concept Design


Here are some sketches that I have been working on for my second Landraider. I want it to be a main focal point for the army, and to match up in awesomeness with the first.I am thinking of really stressing the demonically possessed idea. I think a Bloodthirster torso would be the right size, but I am also thinking I might want to look at some third party mini's too, in order to give it a little different feel.

For the side sponsons I am thinking of doing demonic arms. A few questions, do you think that it is better to have the lascannons held in a fist, be the hand, or coming out of the wrist? Also what do you think about the demonic chains holding the demon to the Landraider, Good idea or not?

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!
