WIP: Lobster-Claw shoes

I just started building some new models for my Slaanesh warband. There aren't many female GW models to choose from, and I never really liked the Daemonettes. But I got a box of them in my Spikey Bots Mystery Box, that I wrote about a week ago. 
I played around with the bits, and came up with a creepy looking female model, that will fit perfectly in with the rest of the warband.




The inspiration i used for giving the Daemonette claws as feet, was some photos of Lobster-Claw looking shoes I stumbled over on Google. Few things look as Slaaneshi as these shoes. 



I also made a couple of mutants to go with the warband. I used Space Marine backpack bits for their heads and mouths. They are supposed to look like some kind of sonic weapon, a smaller version of the ones used by Noise Marines.

Kharn the Bloody, 8th Captain of the World Eaters

I painted this model about a year ago, and it has been featured on the blog before. But when I painted my newest squad of World Eaters, I painted the bases in a slightly different way. I used a lot more orange weathering-powders on the rust, and burnt umber on the grey areas, to make them look more interesting. The new bases looked a lot better, so I gave Kharn's base a little upgrade, similar to the other new ones. I think it looks a lot better than before. The bright orange makes the model stand out more.

Spikey Bits' Forge World Mystery Box

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered Spikey Bits' Forge World Mystery Box. The mystery box contains random GW and FW products on over 20% sale, which is great for these products since they almost never go on sale. I really like the idea of getting a box filled with random models, since it probably contains models I wouldn't normally buy. But they could still be great for converting, or starting new projects. The box arrived today, so i would like to show you the unboxing.




Daemonettes: Not my favourite box of models. But there are only a few female GW boxes, so it's nice to have a couple of them. I'll probably use a lot of these bits when I'm working on my Slaanesh warband.


Deathleaper: I have a quite large Tyranid army, so the Death Leaper will fit in great with the rest of the collection.


Eldar Vehicle Upgrades: I don't have any Eldar vehicles, but there are probably other uses for them. 


Nurgle Claw/Power-fist thing: This was hidden in one of the other FW kits. I already used the one I have on another project, so I actually have a Nurgle Herald missing it's arm. So this bit was a nice little surprise. 


Space Marine Devestator Squad: I have a lot of Space Marine/CSM projects going on, so I'll probably find a good use for this box as well.


Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship: This is a cool looking model. Even though I don't know what to do with it, it was a nice surprise to get in the box. It could work as a part of my renegade militia army, or I could be a great centrepiece in a diorama.



I'm all in all happy with what I got in the Mystery Box. Especially the gunship was quite interesting, since  I don't have any imperial flyers in my collection, and it looks fun to paint them like FW does in their masterclass painting and modelling books.

World Eater Tactical Squad

I just finished a tactical squad of World Eaters. Or at least most of a squad, I only had enough FW parts to build nine models. But now that I've got the Betrayal at Calth box, I'll complete the squad and make more.

Fulgrim & Slaanesh Emperors Children

A couple of months ago, I made a small squad of Emperors Children, based on FW's Palatine Blades squad, to go with my converted Daemon Fulgrim. When I began converting my new Slaanesh Lord, I remembered that I hadn't posted the Slaanesh Emperors Children Squad. I also got myself a new lightbulb, which makes the photos brighter and less yellow. Enjoy!

WIP: Chaos Lord of Slaanesh

Tonight I felt like starting a small new project. Even though World Eaters are a lot of fun to paint, I don't get to convert them much. So I wanted to make another small heavily converted warband in between working on the WE. 

I looked trough my many bitz boxes, and found Fulgrim's legs. They are what's left from the FW model from my daemon Fulgrim conversion. When I had the legs in place, the other bits started falling in place, and I came up wit this. I also made a small henchman of some kind (who needs to be heavily Slaaneshified)

I started painting the Contemptors today. Here is a quick mobile photo of the progress. Hope you like them.

Thanks for looking!
