Devourer of Hope

The Devourer of Hope is finished - we'll he's been finished for a while, but now is photographed as well!

I've re-ordered my piles of skulls as the warp seems to have eaten them all too, so the Soul of Atrocity is still waiting to be constructed. However I also acquired some black spray at last, so will get to some defilery things soon.

There's No Imagery Like Satanic Imagery, Like No Imagery I Know!

Still need to touch up the metal edging and gloss coat the panelling, but now about 80% done. 

Bonus close up of his face:

Scorpio Colossi

Since my harvest of skulls is still yet to arrive I decided to get started on my Greater Brass Scorpion. Now obviously since I'm using its cannon for the Soul of Atrocity it would need something to fill its spot:

I never really liked the "gun face" look, and the pair of cluster caltrop pods from the Reaver Jetbike box fit perfectly. They're mounted on the front of a Sentinel and there's an armour plate from a Defiler claw above it.
If anybody complains about lack of demolisher canon they shoot death rays, obviously, I mean sheeze...

Less obviously all the armour plates and the fore claws are not glued on yet so they can be painted separately.

Also I'm not sure what to name this one. I was thinking Desecration of Hope, but it's not murderous enough. Something with Annihilation, Obliteration or the like in it maybe. Fast, brutal but with a sense of grandeur and giganticness to it. Suggestions welcome!

The Tower Rises!

Construction has continued in Khorne's bloody name, despite the best efforts of Nurgle to lay me low:

Cowardly Tzeentch is also up to his tricky ways, fouling the immaterium and delaying delivery of my necessary haul of skulls to continue construction much further.

The main gun is from the Greater Brass Scorpion, and the upper tower guns are from the Forgefiend kit. they are mounted in the window on Icarus Lascannon mounts:

These windows will be filled with skulls, whilst the middle row and front will be filled with imagery depicting total destruction as befits such a mighty engine of war.

Bone-apart

Defiler Rage Furnace complete. It will have a crewwoman hanging out the side hatch at some later point.
Soul of Atrocity construction continues, mostly cleaning up 20-odd building pieces so nothing interesting to show yet.

The Khornepocalypse Begins!

The planets have aligned and it time to unleash the unending horror of the Blood God's mighty warmachine!

Construction has begun on the Tower of Skulls Soul of Atrocity - the cuts in the hull are to accommodate the building pieces I'll be using to create the tower. I sliced out the pieces using my Dremel, and fitted some bits of sprue as strutting to keep it a bit more stable.
Much like the Tower featured in Reload I'll be using the Basilica Administratum pieces for most of the tower, but rather than hexagonal I'll be going square, using the window section of the Aquila Shrine for the front facing.

The side sponsons are fitted with Defiler autocannons, but required cutting out sections of the hull to fit the back of the guns. I started by drilling a series of holes in the hull before using clippers to cut out the remaining section.

It left a fairly ugly hole, but it is totally concealed when the sponson is in place:

Also added some gnarly extra exhaust pipes, spiked rams and some icons. And, yes, that is a Black Ark of Naggaroth skull in the foreground and I'm happy to have finally found something worthy of mounting it on.
I'm undecided if I'll be mounting it on the front glacias plate or over the main gun - it'll just depend on how well it fits when the cannon arrives.
But what cannon I'll be using shall be a surprise.

And speaking of guns, I had a leftover Baneblade turret, so made this thing:

That is a great summation of what the Khornepocalypse is all about - mad, mad war machines covered in skulls and spikes, but I shall do a longer examination of the concept behind this army in the near future.

Khornate Name Generator of DOOM

In honour of the leaked Deathdealer / Lord of Battles machine of insanity, I've put together a little list so you can name your very own Khorne engine of destruction. 

(click to unleash the full horror!)

See, I've always thought Khorne, with his over the top He-Manesque mega-vehicles was the best of the Chaos gods, and was so delightfully over the top that I am now more tempted than ever to build that all war-engine army I've always wanted.

At least I won't run out of names any time soon :D

FTW collaborative post: From the pit of despair it came

You want bad do you Ron? Well I have dared to open the draw of forbidden and terrible (not in the onimous sense, the crap sense) miniatures and unleashed them upon the blogosphere!

Behold my creations most foul, and despair!

(click all pics for larger - if you dare!)

Chaos Predator, c1997 - Includes 1 standard Predator Mk2 kit, various 40k/Tamia and other bits, Space Crusade Dreadnought weapons, Transformers missile launcher, Ultra Marines (game) scout, Zoids parts, Epic Dreadnoughts (ork and Imperial) and terminators, Adeptus Titanicus parts, string, toothpicks.


Here you can make out the scout impaled upon a toothpick, and the extra main gun (Mirage's spring loaded launcher - counts as heavy plasma gun) attached to the autocannon with string. Note the the extra bolter and heavy flamer.

The Epic dreadnoughts were used as techno-Nurgling like things.


My lettering has since improved.

This belonged to my Chaos warband the Brass Sons, who were somewhat Khornate, but into the mad building and war engine side of things over the skulltaking.


Note the other extra bolter, heavy bolter on the side of the turret, and the Space Crusade missile launcher sponson. The boxes the mini dread are standing upon are shell cases for a 1/35th Tamia Flak 88 cannon.


Titan head morphing out of the hull, as well as a bolt pistol to discourage any tailgaters the heavy plasma gun (from Space Crusade) doesn't remove. Extra armour plating courtesy a Rhino front hull plate. You can just make out the rear firing lasgun behind the antenna on the right of the picture.


The best part of this insane thing - the lasgun through the Genestealer head on pintal mount.
The launcher in the foreground is a 1/72nd 21cm Nebelwerfer 42 cut down (counts as missile launcher).

All up this machine has:

One autocannon
Two heavy plasma guns
Two heavy bolters
Two missile launchers
Two bolters
One heavy flamer
One bolt pistol
Two lasguns
A knife (not pictured)

As for bad painting I give you the Apothacary:


Who is he treating?


Why it's Commisar Gutwound!


And to finish off I give you the first model I ever painted (back in 89) next to his more recent (though incomplete) doppelganger:
