Shuggnuggath Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have added some new images of painted stuff at the end of the thread. There are also some pictures of a scratch built Daemon Prince I'm making from styrene rod, miliput and greenstuff. Woohoo! finally got the images to show. I have decided to use the Dark Vengeance chosen to make some Thousand Sons Rubric marines. I also sculpted a corrupted robot to use as an Obliterator, hes on a terminator size base btw.

FIST_OF_DORN Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Nice, are you making a mould or green-stuffing each one individually? edit: Doh! by the time I asked the question you have added more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm hoping to be able to cast the robot. Has a separate torso and arms. The arms can go on either side for posing options. It would take ages to sculpt all the robots individually :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggnuggath Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks! Shooting flaming heads at people is what makes sorcery fun imo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wow, those look really, really cool! Will you be making any more or is this all that you have planned? Can't wait to see how they look with a lick of paint <_<. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 The plan is for 2 full squads of Rubrics, Sorcerer and Cultists. Some corrupted Cataphract Robots and backed up by Tzeentch Daemons as allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Are all the rubrics going to be converted from Chosen similar to these? Will you be using the DV cultists or will they be converted also? This army is going to look pretty amazing! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I plan to use converted chosen for all the rubrics, 2 squads of 9. For the cultists I plan to use a combination of the DV cultists with empire flagellants and other bits to make a bunch of sorcerous dudes with robes and masks. The guys with flamers will be fire breathing/throwing cult wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redemption2994 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Holy crap that is an awesome looking sword. Where did you get that? (The one that is being wielded by the DV Chosen with a Mace). And if you made it, directions please? Gonna be wicked cool to see them all painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I swiped the runesword from a Isle of Blood high elf sword master champion that was in my bitz box. I figured that my sorcerer yoinked it off some excodite wondering in the webway :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torva Minoris Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 do you have a mould for the rubric head dresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I had a rubric head in my bitz. I cut some rectangles of 1mm plasticard in roughly the right size and put one aside for scale in case I need to do more. Then I carved and filed the rectangles into the appropriate shapes for the crests. They don't need to be identical, this is a chaos army :) I glued the platicard crests to the helmets and waited for the glue to set. Once it was ready I added a thin even layer of greenstuff and scored the lines across. I then smoothed it down with a damp sculpting tool and left them to set. Later on I added very thin sausages of greenstuff to make the trims. I flattend the sausages a bit using a damp sculpting tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Today I added a plasticard banner to the Icon bearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 That banner does look nice, how do you do stuff with greenstuff? I seem to be only able to make fur out of it, good for my wolves, not for my Thousand sons:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggnuggath Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Sure mate, go for it. Thats why I posted it up - especially since it doesn't look like Thousand Sons models are getting an update anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 I converted up a disc for my Sorcerer out of left over screamer parts. The sorcerer has magnetised feet so he can hop on and off. The body of the disc just need a bit of finishing off. I also added a sorcerer for the second squad of rubrics. These guys should be getting painted up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
