Forté Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 tsssstsss Forte You reminded me that Slaanesh models could really be great if converted and painted properly (as you do) so it's on you ! :D Flattery will get you no where (but feel free to keep it coming). End of the day. I've always loved to see fantastic models and love the way this forum spends as much time encouraging each other to keep going and push themselves, as the others do complaining about rules, balance, and power gamers ;) Keep it up because those daemons really look the part.

Lepaca Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Although I'd like to say that it'd look way better if you filed off the dark elf markings on the shields. Also, always go with more lobster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 oooooohh Forte, you Slaneeshy seducer the forum is great. It's feeding my energy to dare to convert and built again !!! The feedbacks help me to resist my inner inclinaison to procrastinate. They even push me to finish assembling these bad girls and start a warband dedicated to another god... and maybe the same one too. Only 9 left to go. Need just to resist to new boxes because new ideas came when I was converting them. and take better picture and built a light box, I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 @ Lepaca Good idea, Brother, I think I'll turn the rest of them into a more armored, fist sharp like kind of strange Slaneesh thing Shield is a little too obvious but I like when are more amored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mustard Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 So 5 more I worked on different options 2 claws 1 claw 1 weapon to mix them more easily with the first bunch. I used the hairless heads for a nostalgia of the 90´s and also to mix them with the previous group I tried to keep them as aerial as possible. Not a too difficult job since the witches are nearly flying without a broom. Going threw the models I realized that keeping the witch long neck line was giving them a more disturbing silhouette (human and top model like) The witch torso comes with a neck on which you put a curved head. The Daemonettes heads have a round base so for anyone doing the same kitbashing you need to "shave" the neck as close as possible to the jaw line. I kept also the original arms length to make them look more abnormals. On the deamonettes torso conversion, I went threw the trouble of trying to make them look to much human like by shortening them. If you do the same conversion I recommend to start by assembling the head. It will give you the flow and guide your choice of arms. I´m trying to restrain myself not to go into a too much complicated conversion. I think the first jumping one I model should get a shaved head too. She now looks out of place. I contemplating the idea of adding tales to the witches or more hooks and "ribbons". I used round bases just so to make Forte happy. :) I have 5 left to convert. These ones are going to be trickier since they are on the same body base so I´ll have to find a was to change the way they "dance" too have 10 different Slaneesh girls. What to you guyzzz say? Comments? critics? Ideas? and the spice girls (15) Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mustard Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks Forte I did not realized that I had created a cheering crowd of daemonettes in the background and with the white support it really looks like a dance floor. :D Silly me I put the wrong Spice Girls group shot online. Here are the Sweet Fifteen . Let me know what you guys think C&C are most welcome. Forté and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 tonight´s production : 3 I tried to modify the silhouette and mouvement to avoid the duplicatas since the witches are twice the same body 5 times. still quite a lot of patching and cleaning to do let me know what you think and they were 18... still 2 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mustard Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks Forte I just need a final push for the last 2 models don´t know if the unit looks coherent though with these different types of body and heads... :( I´ll try to get better pictures (not that anybody required any) and even built a light box. the next phases would be cleaning and green stuff and then painting just need to resist to the idea of starting new projects like csm, cultists, other gods etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mustard Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) @ Forte good rule but I haven´t painted in years need to practice my brushes before starting these delicate flowers. I've built other daemons units for different paint technics, need to practice also on at least one CSM. need to decide which god or legion...and built him. @ deathspectersgt7 thanks Edited May 9, 2014 by Darth Mustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mustard Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thank you my Lord Rust I see you have a thing for claws refering to your "skorpion" :) I had a lot of fun converting the daemonettes. The witches masks really work for my personal taste on them. The witches were a little bit more challenging because I wanted each model to be different and as far as possible from the original pose. I went through different attitudes : catwalk, dancing, ice skating and more recently agressive and jumping. I had the Eldar Banshees 90's poses in mind. Don't if everything goes well together and looks coherent. Now I'm just resisting the temptation to buy more kits and do a larger slaneeshy daemonic army because converting them gave me ideas for more fiancees for Slaneesh. Big problem : I'm not a collector or a player :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Nooooo just had a look on GW website. Argghh so many ideas for kitbashing daemonettes and cultists. MUST RESIST !!! just found how to post bigger pics from ze bucket. Too big??? I'll add the others is you guyz want me to. http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/daemonettefirst5_zpse8908201.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/daemonette03_zps59eecdf5.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/daemonette02_zps3355621b.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/deamonette01_zps79f18382.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/daemonette05_zps657b0e5a.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy82/DarthMustard/daemonette04_zps541e8110.jpg Edited May 9, 2014 by Darth Mustard Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Nice kitbashing, DM, and no, the pics aren't too big. I dislike having to click an image through 3 different screens to see it full size, so this is much better. Though I would recommend something different than Photobucket to host here, because they do have a bandwidth limit and popular threads will burn that up in a hurry and then your pics are gone for a short time.

Forté Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've always hosted my pics in the gallery here. No problems so far. Limit of 2mb per pic but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It seems most of the pics hosted here are really small in the thread and clicking each one multiple times gets really tiresome. I usually end up skipping to another thread when I see those. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mustard Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) @ Scribe of Khorne : feel free to copy, inspire and push forward (or buy mines :)). I'm flattered.There are not copyrights and it is the reason I post them here : to exchange with other crazy people. As I said before I resisting the temptation of doing more deamonettes with other kits. I just realized that there is actually the possibility to produce quite a large quantity of unique models. Ohh Slaneesh you temptator @ Brother Chaplain Kage : thank you for stopping by my humble blog. The size of the pic was bothering me for a while. Could not figure out how the forum was resizing them. I was jealous of the other who managed to post large pics. Like you I think that when people get on such a rich forum with so much content they want to see "big" immediatly or they skip. Often I read post of people asking for larger pics. The bucket seems to work but I'll check the other one support suggested if I can access it from China.... In the meantime I'll post larger and better pics of the girls and focus on finishing the last 2 models (must not buy more).

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The last daemonette models I liked were the semi-nude ones sculpted by Juan Diaz, and I think the new ones look dreadful, so it's always nice to see someone turn that frown upside down, as it were. As for photo hosting, I use Imgur and love it, but not sure if you'll have access to it in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
