Chaos!

Hey!

My first foray into chaos and Primaris True Scale Marines. May I present Brother Argus formally of the Brazen Claws, now Leader of the Marked Men. Based on a Character I had role played in the RPG Black Crusade by Fantasy Flight games. Argus was "abandoned" on his home world of Talus IV as a Daemonic Horde engulfed the planet. 

The Thunder Hawks were leaving; he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw them turn to the skies and leave. He'd heard the order to retreat, but his squad had been too far out and their Rhino had long been turned to scrap metal. So they'd held their ground, but no help was coming. 

Slowly ammunition began to dwindle, Blades were drawn and a brutal close combat began. Argus and his squad fought on hoping that their brothers would answer their calls for aid. Slowly but surely brother after brother fell beneath the tide, Argus was left with just his bare hands and a powerless and broken chain sword. 

Their armour slick with daemon gore Argus and the few remaining brothers begged for salvation, when all seemed lost Argus thought of his chapter and how they abandoned them and their home world. All around him nightmares walked and for the first time he was afraid, afraid that he would lose everything and that wasn’t going to happen.

The world turned red and the once dead chain sword in Argus' tight grip burst into life. Without a second thought Argus threw himself into the horde. One by one his squad either followed or were pulled beneath the tide of teeth and claws.

The planet had died, Argus and what remained of his squad stood upon a mountain of death forever changed. They had become Marked Men and Argus had been gifted with a true brazen claw...

Hey!

Hush

Spook

Delaque is Back (and me too!)

Hey!

After being blessed by Nurgle with many glorious gifts over Christmas and the New Year i am finally feeling human(ish) again!

So back to business. When Necromunda re-released I immediately went digging through my collection and found my old Delaque gang, unfortunately my teenage self had had the bright idea of cutting away most of the weapons on the gangers and "replacing" them with plastic lasguns.  At first I thought there was not much i could do but to my surprise most of the autoguns from the genestealer cultist sprue fit the bill.

Boa

As you can see on "Boa" the autogun with strap fits near perfectly with the grip and stock of the original gun.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, first up are the newbies of the gang, the Juves

I have an Epiphani...

Hello!

So among other things (Necromunda!!!!!!) I've been working on the last member of the Atlas Infernal Gang, Epiphani Mallerstang.

No surprise that due to GW's lack of female heads i'm having trouble finding a suitable one for Epiphani, Hopefully that will change with the arrival of Necromunda and the new house Escher models.

Any suggestions in the mean time?

The whole gang is here...nearly

Hello!

Wow have i been busy lately, with work and learning to drive (again) I've had very little energy at the end of the day to build and paint, But that doesn't mean I've just been sat around dong nothing.

The Atlas Infernal gang has grown by quite a bit. First up is an Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, former acolyte and close friend of Czevak, Raimus Klute.

I Imagined him stepping out of the Lost Fornical onto a strange planet and remembering he hadn't loaded his trusty shotgun.

The Shotgun itself comes from the genestealer cultist kit but with a few modifications, first of all the shotgun barrel was trimmed down to resemble more of a sawn off, as the shotgun is described in the book as a "lever action close combat shotgun with a cut down pistol grip"

I then carefully cut the barrel from the stock, once this was done i made a bracket from a thin bit of brass so that the shotgun could actually open at the breech.

Then it was just a case of finding an appropriate hand and arm to give him the impression he is casually sliding a "thrice blessed silver scattershot shell embedded in a slug of saint Vesta's salts" (wow that's a mouth full...) into the breech.

Next up we have Hessian the Daemonhost.

The daemon is imprisoned in the body of a handsome youth who was previously a vassal (and boy-lover) of Epiphani's father.

Next is Saul Torqhuil.

Techmarine of the now Excommunicate Traitoris space marine Chapter the Relictors.

My first attempt at a true scale marine before the Primaris Marines made their debut.

Had a crack at making my own servos arms for the back pack, certainly not perfect but they do the trick.

He's described as having onyx skin but i never really liked the idea, so I painted his face a lightish brown and washed it several times with Agrax Earthshade until I got a suitably deep shade of brown.

I genuinely lost track of the various conversion work done on the model, the shoulder pads are originally terminator pads but with the edges evened out and a thin strip of plasticard added to create the trim. The power axe blade is made from a brass cog cut in half and stuck to either side of a half circle of plasticard, Just to name a few things.

And finally The servo skull "Father" 

Father is a Servoskull drone constructed around the skull of Epiphani's father. Father maintains a mind-link with her, and its bionic eyes act as her realsight conduit. Father has a vellum-scroll printer installed in its mouth, and some Cogitator ability.

Nothing special, just a skull and some mechanicus bits with a thin strip of brass to act as a roll of vellum.

So there you have it, all of the gang is here apart from Epiphani. I'm currently trying to find the right bits to really show off her strange ability to dress for an occasion which hasn't happened yet.

In the mean time I've also been busy converting up a small squad of Savlar Chem Dogs to do the dirty work for Czevak and Klute. A lot of the warband are essentially non combatants or are not really combat centric so a few more guns were needed, pictures to follow very soon!

Atlas Infernal

Hello!

If I'm honest I was dreading painting Czveak, i'd spend so long making sure the pose was to my liking and all the little components looked just right, that if I painted him I'd some how ruin the model and would have to start from scratch.

Having never tried to paint that much free hand detail before, namely the harlequin coat (which was so much fun!) I was very pleased with the outcome.

Using the above as reference for what should be painted what, I finished with the below.

 

I'm really pleased with the little details like the small =][= on his forehead.

No gold paint was used :D, the Atlas Infernal was covered in gold leaf, washed with Agrax Earthshade (I love the stuff) then the banding was picked out with a very old but still good pot of Chainmail silver.

 Probably my favourite angle of the model,  you really get to see the diamond pattern and the holofield effect of the harlequin coat.

So there you have it, my interpretation on the great Inquisitior Czevak Bronislaw

~

Oh I've also built and nearly finished a friend of Czevak's...

Two posts in one day and more blurry photos!!!

Hello!

So here's a quick little post for one of my current WIP, he's possibly one of my favourite characters in the 40k Universe, Hopefully I can do the old man justice.

Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak

His "Borrowed" Harlequin coat

The Atlas Infernal

I have some very cool plans on how to paint him, just have the rest of the gang to put together first...

 "There is a terrible darkness descending upon the galaxy, and we shall not see it ended in our lifetimes."

The Eye opens, Cadia burns and old warriors begin to stir...

Due to an Administratum error the records of an entire imperial guard regiment on their way to the Eye of Terror were lost, having no form of identification they were immediately set upon by Imperial forces the moment they dropped out of warp close to Holy Terra.

Those that escaped the chaos in orbit attempted to make landfall. Few survived.

But those that did bore no ill will, for the very day they stepped foot on Terra a legend greeted them and revealed to them the truth.

They came to call him "Thunder Child" and re-named themselves "The Lost Boys".

A small selection of the lost boys

As yet unnamed "Sarge" second in command.
