Fulgrim

Having recently been given the Forgeworld sculpt of Fulgrim as a present (thanks again Ian), I have cleared everything from my schedule to begin working on him.

As you may have noticed, there hasn't been an update on the blog for a while. This is mainly down to it being far too warm to sit in my little man cave painting away. Now the summer is cooling down and I have this awesome model in my hands, the autumn period looks like it will be full of various painting projects that I have lined up, this being the first.

The sculpt itself is absolutely brilliant, so much detail and relatively intuitive to put together. For the sake of painting the model I am planning on leaving the Primarch detached from his base until both are complete before fixing them together.

Only got a couple of shots of this guy so far, as there isn't too much to see on the resin model, but more pictures will follow when the paint starts flowing. So until then, here are the other two pictures I have of him and the base. Thanks for looking!

Build-Your-Own Chaos Daemons

Monstrous creatures need to huge, terrifying and, well, monstrous. With that particular design brief in my mind I set out to create something so horrendous it could only have come from the Warp. This my friends, is the beginning of my vision for what a Keeper of Secrets, the Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, may indeed look like.

Once the model is made I will show you how it compares in size to the current Keeper of Secrets (available from all good Games Workshop stores). To give you an idea though, the current model reaches up to as high as this guys waist.

The first picture here shows the model in the early stages before I went a bit crazy adding on several claws.

Once all the arms have been added on (two more pairs on the main body, one arm holding a sword and three arms with open hands) all that is left is fixing a head to the monster.

The head in question is one left over from the Keeper of Secrets box. I am a little unsure as to whether it is a little bit too small, given the size of the body, or whether it will actually look ok. I am tempted to just put it all together and see what the end result is before making any decision.

I am also starting to question whether this demi-god of the Chaos worlds really needs 6 pairs of arms. Or maybe he/she/it does?

As the other update for this post is the Herald of Slaanesh I have also built. In giving it a tail, it is supposed to represent it having a steed to ride in to battle so that it can join with my Seeker squad when necessary.

Pictures are below, thanks for looking and hope to see you dropping by again!

WIP Chaos Lord... A Little Bit More

Just a quick update today on the Chaos Lord in terminator armour that I started a few weeks back.

I have added in a greenstuff cloak and mounted him on his base.

The front spike on his right hand side is also incredibly fragile, so unless someone has a suggestion on how I can strengthen it, I may have to snap it off and make it look like battle damage.

Outside of that, not a lot else to say more about this chap, so enjoy the remaining photos and thanks for looking!

Winner of a Lictor 2013... Again!

We've waited a month and now it is time to reveal who is (hopefully) going to be receiving this painted model of a Tyranid Lictor.

First of all I would like to explain how the draw was made. To start with I assigned everyone a number (1-16) so, theoretically, for all you maths geeks out there everyone has a 1 in 16 chance of winning. Then I went to this online random number generator and set the limits as 1 and 16. Simple step next - click on the enter button to generate the number.... 9.

So, who is number 9? Number 9 is the name Markus Webber, so congratulations Markus, the Lictor is all yours. If you can drop me an email I can then arrange for sending him over to you, where ever you may be!

I really wish I had 16 Lictors to send as I appreciate all of you commenting and joining. With that in mind, I will try to hold similar competitions in a few months time with the chance to win a different individual model. So until then, please keep visiting the blog!

Custom Built Maulerfiend Complete

You have all seen and heard about the flying hell chicken of Chaos. Now I give you all the tentacled murderous crab-turtle of Chaos - my own version of the Maulerfiend made from the bits from a few kits that I had lying around.

Looking forward to giving him a run out with my Chaos army now, I have only ever used the Forgefiend and never his Mauler brother.

Here are the rest of the pictures for you all to have a look over, thanks for looking!
