Ciler Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 So, for it's monthly painting contest, my local GW has decided on psykers, witches and wizards for May.This will obviously not do, and I intend to enter a mini-diorama of a Templar killing a witch of some sort. Does anyone know of a model that would work nicely for that sort of project, that is a model that could convincingly be set to lie dead on the ground, or that is slightly bent forward - i could then add the BT running him through.Ideally, I'd try to stay within human psykers, as with other races one may think we're purging the xenos. Or a Tzeench daemon, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 About the best I can think of (and it might not be quite what you're looking for) is one of the Renegade Rogue Psykers FW produces. One of the pair is holding his head, eyes bulging, bending back a bit. On a good day, you can find him solo for sale on eBay. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/Rpsyk7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If you chaosify the marine with the bolt pistol-- maybe swap the pistol for a casting hand; add some horns, spikes, etc. It would work nicely. http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=51631&d=1233409335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Honda has a great diorama he built with a tortured Fallen Witch awaiting execution, give him a pm and he should be able to send it too you... he did it way back during ETL 2.0 methinks...

Ciler Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks for the initial feedback. I'm also contemplating using this guy : http://reho.st/www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99070201001_ChaosSorcererLordNEW01.jpg I think that changing the orientation of the left arm and head, and knocking off the sword might allow it to lie down in a not-completely-wooden posture. Other option is to not place the head and have it held by the templar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just my opinion, but I would put the witch in mid fall, no more than 35 degrees off from vertical, arched back, massive gaping wound diagonal from shoulder to hip, the templars sword placed as it has just dealt this wound.

Ciler Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 ANother possibility would be to use the guy here on the right : http://reho.st/http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99060105173_PsykersNEW01.jpg After, of course, having duly scraped the imperial eagle and added some chaos symbols. Can anyone suggest a good sprue for chaos bits, like a staff head and stuff ? Chaos tac squad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Chaos terminator lord sprue has a chaos sorcerer staff that'd work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'd suggest either a plastic chaos cultist from Dark Vengeance, a flagellant from WHFB, or a Vampire Count necromancer. I recon a chaos cultist is probably your best bet. The flagellants have robed legs, so it would be pretty difficult to model one lying on the ground.

Ciler Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Meanwhile, I'm getting some work done on the brother that will be doing the cleansing : http://reho.st/self/6da6563e35fce025f44249817da67e7f168c809b.jpg The tabard and head are from the BT upgrade sprue, the legs and cape from the SM Captain sprue, the plasma from the assault kit, and the sword from one of the GK squads. The resemblance with the Dark Vengeance Chaos lord is intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Taking shape : still have to paint the shoulder pads and figure how the hell out i'm going to do the deamon's head. In the end, he'll be facing the herald of Nurgle http://reho.st/self/f076f9bcc8a162ab3677f9242d1d1a1fa4810414.jpghttp://reho.st/self/8ecef9b71e5f65ff53e435d2a3ff14ff24a30ecc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looking good, bro! He isn't really a witch, but the Herald should work very nicely :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looking good, bro! He isn't really a witch, but the Herald should work very nicely These are just technicalities. Is it an abomination? Is it warp-tainted? Does it manifest psychic powers? Is it made of wood and floats? If at least two answers are positive, then... A WITCH! @Ciler - Can't wait to see more progress and the finished diorama. The templar is great, by the way, full of character (though, I'm not a fan of green lenses).

Ciler Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Progress report : http://reho.st/self/a8ca4c18d848aace72352a8afd1cdf34f0af60a6.jpg http://reho.st/self/0784e134dc96a75b7a9b7cdb3df474a18614e69a.jpg A face view of both models. For some reason I can't help but imagine they're singing a duo in that shot. http://reho.st/self/b2dfa6a717ee606ae02a4801f0e552b6d788bb2e.jpg Now to figure out how to set up the ground around them. There's also a bit of detail work left to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think the only way to improve upon your work of art, would be to have plasma flames engulfing the tall slug with legs. Well done, Brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Needs more dead Daemon things on the floor... personal opinion of course... do as you would please :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Needs more dead Daemon things on the floor... personal opinion of course... do as you would please That is correct. The problem is that I don't have the bits, or else there would be at least one daemon body missing it's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal_Roujakis Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well, if you could ask your buddies at the local store :D Sometimes I would look under the table at my local Games Workshop for bits and pieces that they'd throw away... then make props, dead things, or blings on my Templars... I'm sure you could find some under the shelves of your LGS ;) Also, if you have a buddy there who plays daemons, I'm pretty sure you could scab some bits that he has damaged too much, maybe some skull pieces, maybe some more daemon heads, arms...

Ciler Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wish that was the case, but unfortunately no. My local store is quite small (actually I understand it is the smallest in France), and only has a handful of players, the local bitz box is therefore quite small, and does not currently include any nurgle bitz. On a side note, the more I look at it, the more glaringly obvious it appears that neither weapon is chained on the brethren, which is something I will need to address.

Honda Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If I was standing in front of a daemon, I can assure you that I would not drop my weapon. :) I do think that the chains would be a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
