apologies for the lack of recent updates, my 6 day week stints at work are hammering me, currently starting my 9th 6 day week........
As such my hobby time is taking a beating as I'm just too tired most nights to do much if anything. The bits I have been doing have been less intensive stuff such as building up some deadzone terrain. This will feature in the weekends update.
The bits of energy I have had I have thrown into this little project, after seeing some of the amazing entries for the Iron Sleet invitational and then getting badgered by Mr Feral I have set about working on an INQ28 Villain, a Slaaneshii Dark Mechanicus Magos:
The theme behind this guy is Slaanesh as gluttony, the Magos devours knowledge and is hunched under the weight of the data stacks on his back that store it all. I've added a cracked ceramic mask showing his bionics underneath.
I will be making a sonic blaster for his weapon mount and he will have a traditional ad mech axe staff. The 2 smaller arms work well as a nod to a keeper of secrets too.
Now I cant promise fast progress on this guy as the word bearers and deadzone come above it in the hobby queue but I hope to get him finish off over the coming weeks.
Badger? BADGER?!
ReplyDeleteI recall you asking me for some feedback on an idea initially.
Always blaming me for spurts of creativity as usual.
The idea grew because of you, then you encouraged me to buy the base model so yes you did badger sir :P
DeleteKeep up the badgering, this guy is gold
ReplyDeleteCheers dude, Ive begun to plan a few minions for him lets see if I get around to them
DeleteAnother vote for maintaining or exceeding current levels of badgering if it makes Si do stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work mate, and I don't think I've ever seen that take on slaanesh before. The facemask is top notch.
Don't make me badger you about finishing infinity stuff Dane ;)
DeleteGlad you like him though, had an urge to sculpt faces of late so this guy was was done in a spurt of inspiration
Very cool model. I´ve got a feeling we´ll be seeing a lot of dark mechanicus models in the coming days...
ReplyDeleteCheers dude, I'd like to get a set of the skitarii eventually to have a bit of an experiment but I have far too many projects on the go at the moment.
DeleteVery excited to see where you go with yours though :)
