Skulltaker's Juggernaut

Here is a quick conversion of Skulltaker riding a Juggernaut. I might replace the flaming skull with a shield or a standard or simply just a claw hand, I'm not a big fan of the flaming skull.

Daemon Pics 1

Here's a few of my Daemons that I have completed, or are mostly complete. The Bloodcrusher is pretty much done, he has taken a few dings in transportation though.

The Nurgle Prince is for the most part complete. Couple of touch ups to do on him like painting the green stuff where the wings meet his body and some other minor touch ups. His wings are from a McFarlane Ice Dragon.


I also used the base that came with the Ice Dragon as the base for my Herald of Tzeentch. I had considered him complete months ago when I actually painted him, but looking at him now I can see there are quite a few things I would like to change or touch up on him for sure. For the Herald I used a WFB Tzeentch Lord I believe it was and threw a couple of Screamers on there to pull the disc and create a chariot. I had intended on attaching chains from the disc to the Screamers but I just haven't gotten around to it.

The Screamer is complete, but there are a few things about him I don't like, but future Screamers that I do should turn out better. All in all I do like him.

The Flamer was one of the first Daemon models I painted. I think he turned out awesome and they are definately one of my favorite models in the army...for show and for playing with. But future Flamers that I do will be a little more refined I think.

So that's a few of my models, I'll keep posting as I get more completed.

Bloodthirster 2

Finally got around to working a little more on the Thirster. Been busy with work and a few things so I haven't gotten a chance to do too much. I also picked up a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch that I was putting together but that will be my next project to post about. So onto the Bloodthirster.

Basically I have done lots of layers of wash. In these photos I have one wing done and the other without any wash. On the membrane of the wings I painted it blood red and layered washes. I started with baal red wash then a couple of layers of devlan mud, then red, then a coupla more layers of devlan mud. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I am debating if I want to do some highlighting, but for now I am calling them done.

As for the skin and the arms/bones of the wings I drybrushed a little blood red, then some blazing orange. Afterwards I applied 4-5 layers of baal red wash. I am pleased with how it turned out but again I may have to do some highlights later to complete it. But as before, for now it is done. When I get colour on everything I will decide about any highlights I may or may not want to do. I have also started to colour a bit of the fur with scorched brown. More info on the fur in later posts. So here are a few updated pics:



So that's pretty much it for now. Hoping to find the time this week to maybe finish this guy. I have a ton of other stuff to get working on as well haha.

Bloodthirster

Here I will be posting pics and updates to my bloodthirster as I paint him. The first set of pics are after I have assembled most of him and given him a spray of white base coat. While modeling I had to pin everything. The wing I especially had some trouble with. The nobs which the wings are supposed to sit onto were way to big and had to be filed down. I made an attempt at simply pinning the wings and gluing them on but that proved to still cause some problems, so I ended up using some green stuff to help it adhere and fill in the gaps between the wings and the body. Worked like a dream. I haven't had much experience with green stuff but I may end up using it more often, especially since my primary army is Daemons and everything is pewter. Ok, so onto the pics...like I said the first set are simply with a basecoat of white.

(Note on the pics: Sorry for any grainy images. The first pics I have taken with my cell phone. Once I start Adding more detail to the model I will use a better camera.)

Next I have a couple with the first bit of red applied. At this point I have watered down some Mechrite Red(Don't ask the ratio, I just do it til it's the way I want it haha) and applied 2 coats. Simple enough.
