My Traitor Guards

[totgeboren]

No offense meant. That is just what it looked like to me. Your idea of using the thin plastic that Greenstuff comes in is a great one matter of fact.

The work on the Defiler is tops. I like it a lot better now that it has some paint, and I can see the detail.

Hehe, i wasn't really serious.
And now come to think of it, the mussel of the defilers battlecannon has got some pretty horrible glue-joints.

[xbevisx]

Is it wrong that your plog has made me want to totally rip your ideas off and do them myself?

[tinfoil]

Love the defiler conversions. Fine work.

[totgeboren]

Long time no see.



Should I paint it?

..........edit..........

damn, I realize I still got some stuff left to do on the wings...

[Logarithm Udgaur]

Iay, Iay! Chthulu Ftang!


Looks good, but I would not put paint to it until you are happy with the sculpt.

[totgeboren]

I fixed the stuff that was not done, and it's got a white undercoat now.

I'm thinking about this paintjob...


But there is always the more traditional green...


OR maybe try something new, like this?

[BeatTheBeat]

Great to see you back!

Definitely the first one, paint-wise. If you manage to nail that look, this will turn out really awesome!

Cheers,

The Goat with a thousand young!!! Etc.

I concur with the first paintscheme idea- it matches up with the fatigues on your cultists and would look pretty darn stonking!

I want pictures of stuff! Army shots! Nowwwwwww!

It may be too late now, but I beg you to cast the Cthulu, its gorgeous, I'm sure many people would be willing to purchase a cast, including I

yeah its too wonderful not to cast!

[anselminus]

The painting of the army is correct and in touch with highly-rated dark of the chaos!
I am not a fan of the prince devil but it is only a personal opinion, the sculpture is really very beautiful but I find that towards the army of Khorne, it doesn't join too much, however the painting can make a lot also thus I wait.
Defiler when he stick really well and the idea is magnificent I LIKE.

so finally i love your army and i probably use flagellant as you for my army of renegade

cheers

Thanks! I have though about casting it, but it has not been sculpted with that in mind. I would have to fix and change a lot of stuff on it, and my casting-gear is really basic. I just think I would end up with a broken sculpt. :/

Maybe later, if I can get my hands on some pressurizer stuff so I can get good casts. As it is now, the end casts turn out of such low quality that I can't justify the pricetag I would need to charge for the time and money invested.

Anyhow, I have started painting it. I will go for the brown/green look of the first pic.






And I realized I need a champ to get possessed by the daemon, and my champs are all quite important in-game. So I started rummaging through my bitz-box and found a few of my old 3:ed possessed.




I made these when I was a kid, so some might lack a bit, but some greenstuff and a new paintjob and I think they will wreak havoc again. Too bad the rules for them suck so horribly much.

[Dasqueek-Master Assassin]

The guy on the left in the first picture rocks face!

Painting is coming along nicely although I think it is a bit bright...just my opinion though

[Logarithm Udgaur]

Once he throws some brown washes on there it should look perfect though.

Those possessed are inspiring.

[totgeboren]

Thanks, yeah I know Cthuhlu looks very bright now, but I prefer to work from light to dark. In my opinion is a lot easier than working from dark to light when you want a higher quality paintjob, though any mistake you make stands out much more on a bright model.

And thanks Dasqeek, I really like that fíg myself. Kinda funny that he is the least altered possessed of the bunch, but still stands out in a nice way.

[totgeboren]

Painting is progressing. I hope to have him done by the end of this week.









If only I could paint as well as I can sculpt. It often feels like I end up ruining my sculpts when I put paint on them.

[BeatTheBeat]

THAT... LOOKS... AWESOME! Whatever you think yourself, that looks really good. What a beast!

Cheers,
BTB

[Sinner_74]

Absolutely stunning work! The Great Cthulhu looks fantastic! You have done him justice, sir!

[Gonfrask]

Amazing! Glory to Cthulhu! Great model, I have no words

[Logarithm Udgaur]

All of the above and more.

Edit: I am still greatly disturbed (probably more so now that it is painted) by that tail.
