mmmmm that was a nice cookie lol
the pic was from the cover of necroscope iv deadspeak by brian lumley

as you can see the pic is a lot more involved than my attempt but hey they pay artists to do that kind of work
i have been messing around with the new necron flier as a convert to vauhls army as a hellblade or talon never can get it right this is what i have so far only to realise his legs will be covered but hey theres conviction for you


also a bit of work on spagetti monster


and theres more .after marvelling at sublte discords awesome work Legion Rising, Projects from the Dark Maufactorium i have dabbled a bit in the shallow end of the pool leaving him to swim lengths around me here we have the vauhl harrack templates



also been working more on the skorpion brotherhood faction as this part of the warband is increasing rapidly so it needs a leader


heres the closeups


name will follow when i can think up one
and since the skorpion brotherhood are a larger force and based around marines and vehicles i decided to play them with the basic marine rules since chaos is dead in the water with options at the moment. with a small amount of work in friendly games mainly so i could field this


and am i the only guy on this board who likes the talon as it is it just grew on me
thanx for looking
comment and crit welcome

that is a really awesome cloak

[kizzdougs]

I've got to say I've always been a fan of your chaos work. Everything seems so different and individual, just as chaos should be. I love to character of the models. There is no such thing as plain or generic in this army.

The freehand on the sorcerer is incredible. The lightining on the vehicles is excellent and the Necron/chaos flier is looking very promising (I'm pretty jealous of you GS skills )

If you haven't already, you should check out the E Tenebrae Lux challenge. That flier would make a perfect entry.

[Tanith Ghost]

Spaghetti monster's coming along really nicely! Was the stormtalon difficult to put together?

I have never even heard of that book. One more thing to add to the bucket list.

[daemonclaw]

thanx for the encouraging replies guys
tanith ghost@ i found the talon pretty easy to put together so much better than the elastic band fiddly landspeeders thoughi found the pin that holds the main thrusters to be tooo flexible
kizzdougs@i am planning something different for the E tenebrae lux thingy just got to check out the rules
kol saresk@there is a whole load of the necroscope books ,it deals with vampires (the realistic ones not the sparkly fairies )wearwolves(who keep their shirt on longer than two minutes )talking to the dead alternate dimentions ,and a secret branch of gifted agents hunting them down
heres a bit more to the talon including attempting to weather it up



working on the pilot and finishing up today pics to follow sooon
cheers for looking

[kizzdougs]

Excellent weathering daemonclaw! I like that it is all directional, very realistic.

[Kierdale]

Whoa! She's been in the wars, hasn't she?!
Lovely weathering!

[daemonclaw]

cheers guys heres more



and without cockpit



and closeups



and some work on the new guy


cheers for looking

[Snejk]

That's one mean killing machine! I love the Storm Talon.

[Tanith Ghost]

Wow you've made even the dull looking stormtalon into something slick. Nice work!

[Brother Syth]

Wow, so much great stuff going on here.

I really like those Rhino additions, are they made from plasticard? Would really like to know how you did those as they really are something special. '

Also really enjoying the Storm Talon, that thing looks brutal.

[daemonclaw]

thanx guys
brother syth@ they are made from very thin plasticard cut to the size of the doors . designs made up and drawn on then cut as carefully as i could with a very sharp blade ,it was slow and tricky and although its not the neatest i am generally happy with the initial attempt

[daemonclaw]

now a little diversion
in line with the e tenebrie lux thingy i decided to finally get round to this bad boy

been hard at work at this one tonight so new progress shots tomorrow

[Biohazard]

Loving the updates. I also love the freehand on the cloak and the reference to the Harry Keogh books Ive read most of Brian Lumleys books and especially like the Vampire World spin off from the Necroscope series. The more I see the Stormtalon the more Im starting to like it as well, especially in more subdued colours like yours.

PS Brassscorpion FTW

[Dark Apostle Thirst]

I'd love to see your work on a Brass Scorpion

[Kierdale]

A brass scorpion!
Ooh! This should be good!
Are you going to convert it in any way or build it straight? (Hoping for the former)

[daemonclaw]

thanx guys
biohazard @nice to see someone else has read the necroscope books as i was starting to think i was the only one
and as for the talon i didnt much like it origionally but it grew on me .
keirdale@ unfortunatelly it is one of those kits i dont feel worthy enough to attempt to convert so i am just gonna see if i can do the paintjob justice so here goes


some closeups


thanx for looking guys

[kizzdougs]

WOW!!


That paint job is amazing! This is going to be a pretty special mini once its finished.
