Hobby Project – Herald on Disk/Chariot

Leave a comment

With the Necrosphinx finished (sort of) it’s time to revisit a project I started back in February.

For the new readers – I came up with a new design for the Disk of Tzeentch as the current model is uninspired. After a few attempts, one successful, I came up with a design that I had to replicate. And I did!

I came up with an idea for a modular disk rider that can be converted to a chariot on a whim. If this works out, and it should, it will be pretty cool.

And since we are on the topic of Disk Riders here’s a new scheme/rider for a chaos mortal’s army that I’ve been playing with. (Aekold Helbrass was the coolest character evar…)

Custom Disk of Tzeentch Part I – Master

1 Comment

I was asked back in November if I could recreate the Blue Scribes conversion I did for a in-store tournament in September.

Unfortunately the answer to that is no. The broach I used for the disk in that conversion is likely gone forever. I’ve gone back to Michael’s no less then 10 times trying to find it without success. I don’t think they sell it anymore. So screw them! I’m making my own!

The Disk of Tzeentch is a mount akin to Khorne’s Juggernaut or Slaanesh’s Boobworm, but the disk model GW has released is very uninspired IMO. This conversion will allow me to give the disk the appropriate amount of painting attention I feel it deserves.

I know this design is not very demonic but my logic is solid. By GW’s own fluff, Sorcerers have to catch and transform a screamer into a new form in order to gain this mount. I’m going with an arcane flying platform to represent my disks which I feel is fitting for a servant of Tchar.

Here is my current master:

I’m ordering some casting resin and silicone rubber this week for my resin bases and this project.

Daemon Prince Complete

He’s done!

Since I was on a limited schedule I could not take the time I normally would to plot out every section of the piece. I’m proud of it, but I think I went in to many directions color-wise. I like to keep my palate limited. The NMM bronze did not come out fully to my liking either but I’ve yet to master that technique.  If I could go back in time I would do the sword in a lava theme to tie the Prince to the base.

All nitpicking aside, I really had a blast painting this mini for my hobby shop. GW has outdone itself with this new kit.

Great Spined Shaggoth!

Leave a comment

For my Birthday last year my wife bought me two Forgeworld (FW) models I’ve been eyeing for a long time. The Great Spined Beast and the Khornate Demon Prince.  Since I’ve had these models for so long I decided to paint one up for this Warriors of Chaos army project and use him as a Shaggoth.

Now I’m not an expert on Warhammer Fantasy history but I have no memory of the use of the term Shaggoth to represent a monster since GW attributed it to a large Dragon Ogre back in the 6th edition Beastmen army book. For my army, the term Shaggoth will characterize any large unnamed monster from the Chaos Wastes.

  • Great Spined Shaggoth – Done and done!
  • Dragon Ogre Shaggoth – Owned but needs a new paintjob
  • Great Spawn Shaggoth – (Aiming to get this for Christmas)

Not quite as Lovecraftian as some would like, but it’s a close as I can get.

I made the base from Acrylic Sheet. (More on this method to come…)

New Plastic Demon Prince!

Leave a comment

So my local GW shop got a black box in Friday containing the new plastic Bloodcrushers, Pleasure Seekers, and Demon Prince!

I volunteered, begged to be truthful, for Bing to allow me to paint one of them and he handed me the Demon Prince. This model will be a modeler’s dream come true. So much detail!

I’ll he’ll be dedicated to one of the Four, but I don’t know which one…

So excited! Is my geek showing?

This was the first large model I have ever painted. For years I avoided large projects because I was afraid I lacked the skill to do them justice. I had so much fun with this model I grew a rather crippling enjoyment for character models. ~DO YOUR CHARACTERS LAST!~

With the new Fateweaver model en route from GW in August I decided to rebase him for my WoC army and use him as a Demon Prince of Tzeentch. The minimalist theme I’ve been using for the bases in this army really works well with red heavy models.

Chaos Troll Template!

Leave a comment

Finally finished this sucker! It took me several attempts to get my colors down and uniform with the army concept I’m going for. My original paint attempt had the trolls skin in bright violet.

It was horrible.

I moved the violet to the scales, adopted the same grey skin I did on the warhounds, and added the bone for contrast. It was damn fun to paint.

1 down, 10 to go.

Sorceress of Slaanesh

Leave a comment

I painted this mini a LONG while ago. It’s a landmark model for me as it’s the first time I successfully painted NMM (non-metallic metal) gold. That technique has been my Everest for the longest time and through that success I was able to add some serious detail I’ve been missing from my work for a long time.

After a quick re-basing she was added to the new Warriors of Chaos army I’m painting as I’ve never used her and I really don’t remember how I did this paint scheme. Replicating it will be torture so I’ll use her as a Sorceress.

Hail the Darkling Prince!
