Dino's mega work log

[Dino]

Some of you know me from TOFP as the guy doing both chaos dwarfs and tzeentch warriors. I've recently decided to start a log here to show my progress. So here's what i'm working on at the moment.
Chaos knights for my warriors.

Hope to finish the blue armour and gold areas before the month is over.
(from the top down) A bullcentaur, 3 normal chaos dwarf warriors, 4 chaos dwarfs with blunderbussers, and 8 chaos dwarf warriors with great weapons with unit champ. and standard bearer for my chaos dwarfs.

I have a little more GS work on three blunderbussers and a lot of painting to do.

Along with these two projects i'll be building a 2000 point army of daemons for a paint and play thats taking place at my gamming group that will bw taking place over the next three months starting January. I wont be doing a normal army though. As one of my previous posts hints to i'll be doing a cthulhu monster themed army. Here's what I figure i'll have be what:
Lord of change=Cthulhu

Great Unclean One=Shub'Niggurath

Keeper of secerts=Dagon

Plaguebearers=Deep ones

Daemonetts=Mi-go

Horros=Gug

Furies=Night gaunts

Flesh Hounds=Hounds of Tindalos

Screamers=Flying Polyps

Plague Beast=Shoggoth

Screamers=Yith

Feind of Slaanesh=Leng Spider

Note: I know I don't have every single creature from the Lovecraft universe but I can only include so much.

Here's the first thing i'm working on. Deep ones.

So far they've been made from saurus warrior heads and bloodletter bodies. They will be reciving GS pot bellies and necks. Not so sure how to do the arms though. I should have more pics of them tommarrow.

Other stuff i'll be working on is Nyarlathotep as a herald of tzeentch and gug as sson as I get my hands on some proper bitz.

I'm also working on commission work as well. Here's a BFSP troll i'm working on at the moment that I will sell to a customer who i've been painting empire stuff recently.

Continued........

[Dino]

I'll finish him up before the new year and get to work on some spider riders for him.

Here are some other things you should expect to see in this log: High elves of charcs, eldar, chaos marines, lizardmen, dwarfs, empire, warlord dwarfs, reptus, overlords, crusaders, Lotr dwarfs, gondor, evil humans, VC, and dark elves.

But before I leave to do some work here's a pic of my dog.

[Edahlo]

Very nice chaos dwarves! Not many of those armies around. Your dog is adorable.

Looking forward to the next update!

[Leonathion]

Indeed, very nice dog. The deep ones looks promising too. If I want to read a very cthulu influenced book, except one full of poems, by Lovecraft, what would I be looking for?

[Dino]

Well Leonathion i believe some of Lovecrafts books are named Mountaina of Madness, and Call of Cthulhu. I also belive that their is a book just purly full of Lovecrafts writtings. Their was also a game for the old Xbox called Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth that was pretty good and very true to the Lovecraft novels.

[silverstu]

Nice pet pic! Great to see you've started your own PLOG- the CD look great[I can't believe how much work you are putting into that army!]. The Cthulhu stuff looks very interesting[although I must admit to total ignorance on them]. Looking forward to your updates.

[Dino]

Neither can I Silverstu. But I can't lie i'm very happy at how they've turned out so far. However theirs a lot more work to do. And same goes with the cthulhu army as well.

[mrtn]

Nice knights, I should keep my eye on this one.

[Dino]

Well mrtn here's an updated pic of my just for you. Injoy.

This will probably be as far as I go with them this month. I'll finish them next month and will probably have other stuff to do along with them.

Here's another update on the deep ones as promised.(sorry for the bad pic, camera doesn't really want to take this pic)

I'm gonna work ont he necks a lot more. I then have to figure out what arms to use. Any ideas on this one?

Next up is some more CD stuff. First up is my chaos dwarf lord i'm just about finished up with.

Contineud........

[Dino]

All I have to do on him is the rune on the sheild , some skulls in his left hand, and he's done. Will probably be painted near the end of TOFP. Well see.

Now here's a piece of concept art I drew for how I will probably be making hobgoblins.

I'll be bying the basic stuff for them soon. Definetly expect wip shots after the new year on these.

[Dino]

Here's some p.i.p. pics of the chaos dwarfs i'm painting this month.
Bullcentaur

Blunderbussers

Warriors with sheilds

Great weapon warriors

Will have more pics of them and others after christmas. Until then.

[Dino]

Back with more p.i.p. shots of my chaos dwarfs as promised.

Blunderbussers

[Dino]

Warriors with sheilds


Warriors with GW


I should have them done soon.

Continued.....

[Dino]

Have done more work on the deep ones.

After some debatting I decided to use the arms that came with the bloodletters and I must say that they look good. Now all I need to do is get some ghoul right arms and switch the swords and repose the blood letter right arms and attach the ghoul hands to them and they'll be almost ready to paint.
Here's a special shot of the unit champ. who has a right arm attached.

I decided to give him a knife that will eventually look more like a sacraficial knife. Figured it make him stand out as the unit champ. more.

Last on the cthulhu agenda is the test start of my flamers(yith).


The main idea right now is to make the main body. I'm using a lizardman body and a lot of GS to make the body. I'm gonna cover the back and lower sectino with more GS. Should have that finished within the next day or two.

Continued for the last time.......

[Dino]

Last up is my favorite Reaper mini and the start to my Lizardmen army.


This will be my Carnosaur model. Figured sense the carmosaur was no longer gonna be a large target creature this would make a perfect figure for it. I'm making its base look like it's in an area of jungle where their are ruins from more ancient times. I gotta sculpt some lizardmen bling and buy the rider and he'll be ready to paint. Problem is I have no idea when that'll be.....Oh and before I forget you'll be seeing more lizardmen stuff over the next few months along with high elves and maybe eldar or chaos marines.

Thats all for now.

[Dino]

Chaos dwarfs for this month are finished for this month.

Blunderbussers


Warriors with great weapons


I'm pondering what should be on the banner at the moment, but for now they're done.

Next month i'll either paint my lord on foot(who's just about finished) or i'll take a break and convert up more guys.

I also wish everybody a happy new year.

[Dino]

I've been a bit busy with my cthulhu army latly and have some work to show for it.

First of all I haven't finished my deep ones, but I have finished the top of their standard.



Heads a little left heavy but I can fix that.

I have also started building two other units and my first herald for this army.
Gug(horrors)

Their basic bodies are daemonettes with the clothes removed. The lines down the middle of the are theirs mouths. All I have to do is cover their legs more, cover their backs more, and add teeth and their almost done for now. Here a pic of one with all of it's teeth.

[Dino]

And unit champ. with some of it's teeth.

Just gotta do the legs and it's done until i'm able to get some arms. I have no idea when i'll get them but hopefully it's be soon.
Flying Polyps(screamers)
http://members.shaw.ca/csstrowbridge...lyingPolyp.jpg

These are one of the first units i've built from scratch and probably wont be the last. I took stiraphom balls and stuck them on bent paper clips. Then I took plumers epoxy and covered were the clips met the base and the lower half of the ball and waited for them to harden(it only takes 15 minues) and the procceded to cut some opennings for mouths. I plan to work on them more over the next week and get them built before I have to have them painted.

The king in yellow(herald of tzeetch)

My first herald and one of my first full body sculpts is turnning out OK(I guees). I have tones of work to do on him. Basically I buit him from plumers epoxy and some GS. I'm building up the robes at the moment but i'm not sure how i'm gonna do the arms. Any suggestions?

Now here's a break from cthulhu and some more commission work.
BFSP troll


Now it's finished and i'm hopping my customer will be happy with it. Now on to th spider riders.
I've also have been commissioned to paint some dark elf stuff for another customer in my local area.
