Glottkin Lamprey Maulerfiend Conversion Painted!

TJ here with another insane conversion monster painted and ready for battle. Today I am showing off the panther (or lamprey) Maulerfiend conversion I made from the Glottkin arms. Let's take a look:

Glottkin Maulerfiend, Spined Beast Conversion Finished and Based! One of my Favorite Works!



TJ here to show off what I would consider one of my best conversions/ kitbashes: The Panther. This project has been a ton of fun and I have challenged myself to try techniques I am unfamiliar with and a gravity defying pose. I am extremely proud to show this off here so let's take a look around this fecund feline!

Glottkin Mauler Fiend Conversion Continues: Part 4

TJ here to update the Maulerfiend/ Spiked Beast conversion. A little more Green Stuff work went into the project last night and boy am I happy to be working with green stuff again! Let's take a look at the latest additions:

Mauler Fiend Progress and Making Bits DIY

TJ here with an update as well as a little tip on making bits that fit from bits that ... well, just don't. Let's not waste time here ...

Chaos Biker/ Steed Sorcerer/ Lord: Back in the Saddle

TJ here to show off a model and talk about hopping back in the saddle. What better way to talk about the saddle than with a Chaos Lord or Sorc literally in the saddle of his counts-as bike/ steed? 

Hell Blade DIY Conversion Complete, Budget Can be Beautiful

TJ here with the final construction update for the DIY Hell Talon conversion I am working on: Project Carrion Daemon. The first construction post generated a ton of conversation, so I just wanted to throw up some photos and talk a little about my choices before I cover this thing up with primer and start painting it. Let's take a walk around this odd duck.

Hump Day and A look Ahead

Hello all and with my deployment hitting the approximate half-way point, I figure I will start planning my return. With that being said, I want to get some things out in the air and bounce some ideas off the regular readers of DFG.

Maulerfiend Conversion Finished and Painted: The Mammoth Walks Among Us!!

TJ here with another conversion for my army - this one has been caled the Mammoth for some time (though it really has no mammoth like qualities, but I digress ... This is one of the last conversions I will be able to paint before I leave for 8+ months ... actually, it may be the last! Let's take a walk around the model and look to the future possibilities for the army of the Apocalypse!

The Mammoth is Ready for Paint: Maulerfiend Conversion Taken to the Next Level!

TJ (AKA the artist formerly known as Old School Terminator) here with an update on the "Mammoth," my Maulerfiend conversion. This one may be huge, but it was a quick project for me. Let's take a brisk run around the model.

Chaos Sorcerer Biker Conversion: Hit the Road with a Horseman of the Apocalypse!

TJ here, dropping in after the holiday break to present you with a little conversion I whipped up for one of my Chaos Sorcerers - Ashiok, (or if brevity isn't really your thing) the Herald of the Army of the Apocalypse, Diviner of the Inevitable, Summoner of Swarms and Blight of 1,000 Battlefields. Enough pomp and circumstance though, let's take a look at the latest sorcerer to enter my cabal.

My Army: A Year of Daemons and Evil Things! Happy New Year!

TJ here with a ton of photos of my Army of the Apocalypse, otherwise known as my Chaos Space Marine and Chaos Daemon army. Along with a few other projects (commissions and such) and between military moves (one deployment and four exercises in 2013), I have worked on this army and with the help and encouragement of readers and close friends, it has been great. Let's take a look at some group photos as we close out 2013 and look toward another year of adding to this crazy army!

Crazy Maulerfiend Conversion Part 2: More Dangerous than Man/ Bear/ Pig!

TJ here with an update on the Monkey/ Mammoth/ Robot Maulerfiend conversion! I have added some tubes, some green stuff and I am starting to feel it now, so let's take a walk around this bad boy:

Crazy Maulerfiend Conversion Part 1: The Stone Horn Cometh!

TJ here and it really seems like I cannot stop making giant monsters for my Chaos armies. This time, I am working on a Maulerfiend with some major kitbashing going on. This is just the first of several posts that will take you along on the ride for this conversion. Let's take a look at where we stand right now.

Skull Cannon of Khorne Conversion Painted and Ready to Roll!

TJ here with my latest Daemon project. This time, I have a Khorne Skull Cannon conversion using the original model, a Juggernaut and some Green Stuff. When I first started this project, I honestly felt like it would bore me to death, but I have found that this has been way more fun to paint that I at first imagined.

Dreadknight Daemon Prince Conversion: Part 1, Help Me Make A DP

TJ here with another big baddie. Before I took off on the boat a month ago, I was building a DP out of a Dreadknight I had won at a local tourney. I just didn't feel right with where it was going, so before I left I tore an arm off of it and disappeared.

20 Hi-Fi Plague Bearers on Maggot Bases Join the Fight!

TJ here with some more Daemons I have painted up and this time, I am adding 20 colorful Plague Bearers to the mix. Why are they so colorful and not green? Why not!

20 Horrors of Tzeentch join the Horde! Flesh, Beaks, Flames and Feathers!

TJ here with an update to my army. I recently painted a ton of troops that I won at a recent tournament, including 20 Horrors of Tzeentch. I hesitate to call them pink because, well, I didn't go there. Anyway, let's take a look.

They Came From Hyper Space Part 1: Possessed Night Scythes!

TJ here with something different ... but along the lines of the same stuff I have been doing for the last year and that is The Army of the Apocalypse! So, a tourney reared its ugly head this Sunday and after much discussion with my Necron soulmate, Chris Vinton, I decided I needed more scythes (perhaps it was his subtle use of mindshackle scarabs, but I really needed them, so I unpacked the boxes and got to work. These wouldn't be normal scythes though. No! These have special cargo and thus must be special themselves! So let's take a look at the first installment of what I did.

Completed Soul Grinder Conversion: From Todd McFarlane Toy to Table Top Monster!!

TJ back again! Today, we take a look at my finished Soul Grinder, made from a Todd McFarlane Spawn toy and some good ol' GW parts (and a hell of a lot of Green Stuff and Miliput). This project was a lot of fun and I am glad to see it wrap up so nice. Let's take a look at some pics of the model and discuss it a little bit.

Breaking the Established Norms, Your Take!

TJ here to talk about how we build and paint our armies to either fit the established background of our games or how we break with those traditions and why. For myself, I have always ridden the fence on the subject because I am an avid fan of the Black Library and to date have read all of the Horus Heresy novels and several omnibuses from the current millennia. When I start a project the background is always right there in my face and I am always tempted to satisfy that itch of making a conversion and paintjob that satisfies that background, however, sometimes I feel like I am painting myself into a corner in more ways than one.
