AlexCrute Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 My friend just finished this today. I told him he could be an internet celebrity if he put it up on the BnC, but he is too lazy so I've posted it. Ta-da! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nipples Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 seems well built, a little empty for chaos. Needs some corpses, runes spikes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah. More adornments, Tyler! Â Also, to those of you who may be wondering, yes, that is a real fox skull. It used to grace a Rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadaeux Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Interesting, personally I don't like the head, it just seems too unusual for a Warhound with so little other evident chaos decoration. Until the skull you could easily be forgiven for assuming it was an Iron Warriors warhound. (No trace of the daemonic except its head, sparse on the decoration, apparently kept for its utility rather than used as a mobile altar of sacrifice.) Â EDIT: I don't mean to sound negative, other than the skull I love the beastie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngs Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well, thanks to Alex for posting the pics for me. Decided to become un-lazy and respond. Â @mithril - Well, its made mostly from cheap bits and pieces, polystyrene, dowel, balsa wood, stiff card, pens and highlighters. And as Owen said, a real fox skull. All up, excluding paints used it cost about $20 to build. I started it when apoc first came out but got distracted with other builds, brass scorpion, baneblade(GW). In there i also collected a decent nid force which included scratch builds for the trygon and barbed hierodule. I reckon from start to finish it would have taken a couple of weeks worth of evenings. Â @kadaeux - I had big visions of adding tons of chaotic details etc, but decided instead to get my armies painted first and go back to it at a later date. As for the fox skull I thought it would work well given its a warhound. But I agree, needs more spikes and adornments. Â At this point, im just looking forward to seeing it in action.

AlexCrute Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 @youngs - About time you showed up! Â The lack of adornment is probably my doing as much as anything, urging him to hurry up and finish the blasted thing so I can get on with blowing it to bits. Â Or being blown to little bits myself more like.... Â I'm sure it's safe to say that it will probably collect detail and adornments at a steady rate over the coming months as it collects battle honours from stomping my Fists dead flat.

Kadaeux Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Actually looking at it again the Skull probably would have worked a lot better if you'd had its bottom jaw too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I like it. The use of actual animal bones is interesting. Makes it tempting to make a really morbid chaos space marine force and use tonnes of bones. Must look on ebay =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 hmmm, I have a spare sheep's skull lying around... Â tell your mate its a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 hmmm, I have a spare sheep's skull lying around.. Â lol I have a cow skull!.... would have to make hornes for it tho... Â Very Nice Titan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngs Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 So, does anyone have any suggestions on effective ways of making it looking more chaotic without it getting to busy? I mean, rows of spikes are fun but I dont want to end up with an echidna. I have thought about imperial guard bodies etc but that presents the same issues. Maybe ways of making it looked possessed. Â Any suggestions are welcome, good or bad. Â Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 YAY ECHIDNA! but seriously Chaos stars and demon faces manifesting are always options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've considered making a one-off Chaos vehicle with Imperial Guardsmen counting as extra armour (Chaos can have that, right? =/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngs Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I did consider that, however id need a lot of guardsmen to cover the titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 So? they're plenty expendable. Â A big ol' banner or two hanging from a weapon would be pretty awesome, or a loincloth... Â You could do just a coupla rows of Guard-spikes, and maybe freehand on a couple of armour panels, and it could be good. Â GS some screaming daemon faces, just angry it up a bit.

iandanger Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That thing is beautiful...what did you use to make the gun barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngs Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hey guys, Â I made this before i knew there were templates to follow so I had to guess with sizes etc. The body i build from polystyrene which I carved into the desired shape and the legs are from balsa wood and card. As for the guns, the turbo laser is from a highlighter and 2 large pens, and the plasma is also a highlighter but this time with the cap still on and wire wrapped around it. Â Now like me im sure you cant look at it now without seeing walking stationary. Â The entire thing cost me about $20 to make and is pretty solid. Â As for adding the final touches, there is still some more stuff I want to do to it. I was considering putting some small spines and cracks through the body as well as some damage etc. At the moment though its on hold as I'm trying to finish painting my apoc army.

dustermaker Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It looks really good! As stated before, just a little bit of chaos flavor and it will look AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It reminds me of one of the Chaos Warhounds in the Horus Heresy art book so you've done very well. I think that a suitable additon would be a loin cloth/chain mail and the Chaos Icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
