Everything's WIP at the moment

Random Models I Fancied Painting

IG Commissar(ess)


Tzeentch Sorcerer




Chaos 40k:

Nurgle Daemon Prince "Skr'aaa'chund'sneef"


Thousand Sons Rhino


And the Thousand Sons


Slaanesh Daemon Princess (non-GW), wings have to go on after painting. To overcome TLoS issues I count the base and wings as targettable, which means she's approximately the same "magic cylinder" size as a normal Daemon Prince.


40k Super-Heavies

Doom Blaster:







Got a Plague Tower (mostly scratch-built) and a Silver Tower (mostly CoD parts) at the inital stages. After that will be doing a Brass Scorpion and have sketched plans for a Tower of Skulls (also Baneblade Chassis).

Wow i love that Doom Blaster!

is that something from a GW Datasheet/Epic, or something of your own creation?

either way, its awesome.

cheers

Cheers

It's one of the Datasheets they only put up on the website, at the time it was the least scratchbuilt so I did it first (the Silver Tower was going to be based on the DE tower scenery and therefore cardboard, it's only this week I switched to CoD).

EDIT: it was orignally an Epic model.

They made Angron, Fulgrim, Montarion and Magnus in epic scale. They were quite potent on the battlefield.

Baragash, do you have the wheels from those heavy mortars spare?

Some awesome stuff there
What range is the tzeentch sorceror from?
What did you use as the base model\chassis to mount the doom blaster stuff on..it seems (guess timating scaling up from the skeletons) to be considerably longer than a landraider

Sorry, they're ear-marked to be hubcaps on the wheels for my Plague Tower (which are made of Pringle lids with balsa wood sat in them).

killmaimburn wrote:What range is the tzeentch sorceror from?

It's one of the classic mid-80s Chaos Champion models. I've picked up most of them over the years because a lot of them are really nice models.

'Tis a Baneblade. All the Khorne SHs are going to be based on a Baneblade bar the Scorpion. I dropped a piece of foamboard into the bottom of the chassis to raise the level of the mortars a bit.

Fair enough. I thought I'd ask as they'd make better Earthshaker carriage wheels than the GW plastic artillery wheels I have, but the wheels I've got will suffice.

where do we find the stats for this doomblaster?

I might consider it a tad undercosted

It's not a big'un as super-heavies go. I'm a little confused as to how it's ended up with CC stats.

The fluff says its part demon engine (it also talks(the quote in the bottom))but yeah does seem a tad odd.

The Tower of Skulls, Plague Tower and Silver Tower are all Daemon Engines too though.

The Deathdealer, Brass Scorpion, Subjugator and Lord of Battles are the only ones I'd expect to have CC abilities.

The epic model has choppy bits on the front, It should have some combat ability based on that.

Nice stuff baragash.

Have you got any pics/building tips for the plague tower???

This is as far as I got so far:







To make the wheels thick enough to look sensible it needs two lids back to back, and I've only put balsa planks into 7 of the 12 so far.

Got a polystyrene bell for 99p in Hobbycraft, some tubs to fill with gunge for the side, some pipe from B&Q for the Puscannon, Baneblade Demolisher cannons, some straws, a dozen Chaos vehicle accessory sprues.......

The idea is to build a frame of square dowel, then fill it in with foamboard cut to appropriate shapes depending on the avarious balconies etc.

Cheers! Keep us informed of progress.

I've been thinking about doing a plague tower for a while, but have never built anything on such a grand scale.

Just started a plague cult, so now seems like the time.

I was lucky enough to get a string of perhaps 15 bells for nowt (xmas decorations).
Will have to resist the temptation to put a fat nurgle "fairy" on top.

Looked at this for inspiration, but carving/sculpting skills are remedial.

http://www.gobstyks.co.uk/Projects/ptower.htm

I've never tried to sculpt air dry clay, so I'm going to be hoping I'm a natural when I get to that step........

EDIT: So I had a quick doodle on the Tube home this evening, based on wemic's tower inspiring me:



Basically, 24 CoD panels, 1 crystal (Beam of Power) and 6 of the big dragon heads from the Chaos vehicle accessory sprue (Bolts of Change), one on each face somewhere. The two semi-circles are the engine looking pieces from the AdMech CoD, so there will technically be a front to the hexagon.

*delves into bitz box*

Also got a face from an uber-classic Chaos Dwarf war machine that I've had for over 10 years and never found a use for, I think that will find a home on it somewhere.

Bling it up with the stars and moons glitter shapes and more bitz from the Chaos vehicle sprues and done. Hopefully I'll find a way to make the Tower and its disc detachable from the stand.

Did some work on the Silver Tower today....

Bottom third on it's 11" diameter (size, it's always about size ) wedding cake tray:



It's blue-tac'd just for my visual benefit, as I figured it would be easier to create the middle tier hexagon and then line the bottom up onto that.

Middle tier hexagon:



And middle and top tier drying ready to have the windows filled in with some card, before attaching the bottom tier tomorrow:

Maybe on the window panels? That is if the heads aren't so big that they block the entire window. You might even be able to drill out the dragon's eyes so someone in the tower could look out.

Baragash wrote:Hopefully I'll find a way to make the Tower and its disc detachable from the stand.

Pin them! I did this with the top floor of my basilica. I just used a couple of pieces of paper clips glued into the top floor, and I have corresponding holes drilled into the next floor. When I need to put the building to use, I just fit the pins into the holes.

Regarding the Bolts of Change, I'm actually looking at attaching some classic 80s Fantasy Sorcerors on the 3 balconies. The other idea is to mount 2 sets of the dragon heads on the balconies somehow.

Well, the 11" disc is due to have some 3/8" dowel supporting it, which is mounted on a 6" disc. What I want to do is have the flying stand detach from the bottom of the 11" disc. If B&Q have a suitably thin bolt I can fix into the dowel, I'm going to araldite a nut on either side of the disc so it screws through (with wood panels stuck on first to stop the disc from ripping when screwing).
