Daemon Army (BlackEd)

[BlackEd]

One giant worm completed!






I've got 5 more to go.

I've decided to start on the chariot and byakhees this weekend.  :-)

[azrael71]

Very nice work.
They look better than the originals
I am looking forward to the byakhees.

[BlackEd]

I'm working on two more poses for the giant worm.  I hope to have the greens completed in a few days.

I didn't start the Bhyakhees yet.

Just found this site whilst looking for some figures for Arkham

Might provide some more inspiration (if any is needed  )

[BlackEd]

Thanks Azarael!  Those are great!

I've finished 3 poses of the giant armoured worms.  Here are some pictures:






I will restart the hounds soon, and will also start the byakhee chariot at the same time.

I saw Avatar last night.  The 6 legged predators got the wheels turning.  I am considering having 6 legged hounds.  I like the smooth and black look, and I think it works well for the hounds of tindalos.

JChaos -- Thanks for the pictures.  I will definitely have to get some of those.

June update.

Three units of worm swarms.  In addition, I started sculpting up the 4th unit of worm swarms.  Each is on a 2cmx2cm base.  I will be contacting Pendraiken to see if they are interested in these at all.  I plan on doing one more 2cmx2cm square, so that a number of these squares can be used to make a number of stands that are different from each other.

Here are the painted swarms:


And some close-ups of the more interesting stands:



Here are the new worm swarm sculpts:


And here are the sculpts in progress of the hounds of Tindalos:


My painting/hobby area is now all taken apart.  We're having builders come in to make some changes to the basement.  They supposedly start Monday, but they were supposed to start last wee and the week before.  It is really annoying to have the hobby area disrupted for so long!

[jchaos79]

Are the swarm of worms also part of the pendraken production set?

(hope that the ansewer is yes   )

[BlackEd]

JChaos -- not yet, but I think that they will be.  I sent pictures to Pendraken today, and they like the 2 greens.  I'm working on a third worm swarm base that will have other battlefield debris, such as an empty breast plate and a standard lying on the ground.

I've also been thinking about re-sculpting the 'plain' base.  What if the worms came out of one of the corners, and were radiating out from the exit point?  This would be one quarter of a circle, and with 4 bases arranged in a square, it would look like the worms coming out of the ground at one place and going in all directions.   Any thoughts?

As for the hounds....  Well, we all can see they need more work.

[azrael71]

Love the hounds.
Although they do remind of my whippet

Hi Azrael.

What size are the worms you sculpted ?

I´m looking for some "Daemon Beasts" for my WM Daemon "Nurgle" army (4000 pts)

I´m using the original daemon beats GW produced as cavalry as they perfectly fit to the the Nurgle style but I´m still on hunt/search for adequate "nurgle style" daemon beasts.

By the way....you are a talented artist.

Cheers
Claus (currently occupied with building Mordheim City for our games club)

Hi Claus,
I think you may be mistaken, this is BlackEd's thread.
He did all the work.
My daemon nurgle beasts are  necromunda millisaurs.

Cheers
Mick

[Claus]

Uuuups ...sorry for that.

Then the flowers are belonging to BlackEd   

Regards
Claus

[BlackEd]

Thanks Claus!  I like flowers!

The armoured worms fit 3 to a base, and are something like 15 to 20mm tall.  Pendraken says they will be cast up soon, so you will be able to buy some!
