hushrong Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Interest is piqued now on the maggot's interaction with this kill team! And a bummer to hear about the use of latex gloves. It was something I was wondering about for some time but I always forget to snag a pair whenever I do minor GS work. Still, this is good information to know.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 You might have better luck with the gloves than I did. Worth a shot. Here's the start of the blight launcher marine, who I was doing the larvae for. He had such a boring pose that I immediately thought of one of those caterpillars that a wasp injects eggs into and is essentially controlled by them until they're done growing and burrow their way out. I'm just getting started (there will be more, don't worry) but I wanted to get some opinions because I would definitely paint them to look the part once finished, but do they appear to be larvae or just some normal chaos corruption/tentacles right now?

hushrong Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Until you mentioned ‘tentacles’ I wasn’t thinking of it. So long as you paint them with patterns like some larvae with spots you’ll be good. If you want to go an extra mile maybe give them little mandibles. Now I just feel bad something is going to burst out of that plague marine. Brother-Chaplain Kage 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The maggots in your previous pose made me shiver. Your source of inspiration for the fixing of the flat pose for the marine made me gag. Truly, your thread is blessed by Nurgle. Eugh. :Wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednekkboss Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I hate it when an enormous bug lays eggs inside you and you don't feel it because of your "gifts" from the Dark Gods. Here he was probably just petting it and telling it it was a good bug. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been this inspired by a project and gotten so much work done in a while.

I think it was a cute little enormous plague wasp of death, I think. Maybe a relative of Ms. Charlotte? apologist and rednekkboss 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think that having seen them solo on the base it's instantly obvious what there are when they are shown on the model. For a new pair of eyes who didn't see them seperate it could be less obvious. Solutions could include a mouth for some of them and one that is going through the marine somewhere so you can see the tail and head would really seal the image. I'd also be tempted to have a chrysalis or two on him with one hatching out to a bloatfly, eggs with tiny ones hatching and crawling out into the world would also be an interesting detail. Actually having all stages of life would be realy cool so a fly laying eggs as well? it would all be about balancing the excess volume vs enough to tell the story.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Maybe just for clarity's same, put one on the base - it'll instantly convey that its still emerging siblings are also larvae and not tentacles. rednekkboss and Hungry Nostraman Lizard 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Maybe just for clarity's same, put one on the base - it'll instantly convey that its still emerging siblings are also larvae and not tentacles.That's a very good idea, maybe even doing one that has fully emerged, but is crawling over/around the plague marine? Anyways, paint will really be the easiest way to make it clear that they are maggots. May I suggest an off-white/beige with a dark brown spot at the tip?

Yeah! Good idea! As for the maggots, I can neither confirm or deny Ms.Charlotte or her kin had anything to do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hey BCK, everything looks amazing as usual - those Death Guard are an awesome showcase of your greenstuff skills Also wanted to drop by to thank you for your tutorial on making tissue capes (waaaay back in the thread), I just used it on a bunch of recon marines & it worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Oh man! That is disturbing but pretty darn cool looking! I didn’t realize he was hollow so seeing the open segments of armor and whatever are it’s innards is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks, guys! I went over to my friend's place last night to help prod him into working on his ork kill team and did some converting on his nob with big choppa since he's not comfortable at all cutting up metal figures. I gotta GS the arm joins on both arms and build him a neck, since he didn't like the original head and the new one is a bit small for the neck hole.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ork surgery was a success. I've also decided to start working on a GSC kill team in my spare time while I finish up the plague marines and hopefully start getting some games in. Here's my quick mock-up for a acolyte hybrid leader, inspired by the Primus figure. The beginnings of the coat is from a skitarii and the rending claw arm is cobbled together from old plastic gaunt parts (they're bigger than I remember them being). I think it's OK, but I've had another idea for the overall look of the kill team and I'll be making a new figure more in line with that. I'll keep this guy as a specialist, I think, though the claw arm will probably have to go. Honda, Doghouse and DuskRaider 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptix Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ooh, I've been wanting to test this! How'd you attach the cape to the GSC torso is it just Neophyte front + ranger backm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I cut the cape away from the skitarii and with a lot of test fitting and shaving down the sides and back of the GSC legs until I eventually glued it together. A fair amount of GS work will be needed to make it blend into the GSC parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Actually, I love "that" arm. It's wicked looking. I would vote to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
