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 Maulerfiend Conversion Continues V: Ripped Flesh and Nearly Complete

TJ here with more of my latest project, which has been dubbed Gluttony, or keeping the zoo theme: Project Sex Panther (PSP). A lot more green stuff work has gone into this, so let's take a look at it.

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 ...

The Glottkin Mauler/ Spined Beast Conversion Update 1

TJ here to discuss my progress with the Glottkin  mauler fiend/ Spined Chaos Beast. Last time we looked at the basics and to be fair, it isn't far from where we left off, but I am excited to pick the tools up again and get to work.

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.

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:

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.

Step Up Your Conversions and Modelling: The Green Stuff Industries Tentacle Maker!

TJ here to talk to you about a tool that has stepped my game up considerably as a converter and modeller and has become a part of my model-building musts, alongside my hobby knife, clippers and glue. I am talking about the Tentacle Maker from Green Stuff Industries. I have talked about it quite a bit on the blog and only because I have had such great success with it. I don't advertise products for money on this blog, I advertise based on their merit or potential. I have used the tentacle maker for 2+ years now and I use it all the time. If you haven't picked one up yet, I would like to show you a selection of models (not just mine, but from around the internet) that give you an idea of what you can do with this tool (really these, as there are several of them):

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.

Turning a Toy into a 40k Model Part 2: Soul Grinder from Hell!

TJ back again to talk about turning a toy into a 40k model with my Todd McFarlane Spawn/ Soul Grinder mash-up! I'm going to pick right up from the last article where we finished by fixing the toy's pose with glue, so let's get right to it.

Minotaur Daemon Prince/ Greater Daemon Conversion Painted! My Best Work to Date!

TJ here with my best work to date: The Minotaur Daemon Prince, or Bull-God or whatever you want to call him (I don't mean minotaur Space Marines BTW). This is a conversion and a paint job I am extremely proud of and I plan to run him on the table top for the long term! I have a ton of photos posted below, so please enter with caution, those of you with slow work computers! I only have the iPhone right now for my photography and I know it can make even the best model look awful, so I just took a bunch of photos under different lights and hoped for the best, but enough excuses, let's look at this big, nasty monster!

Quick Tutorial: Sculpting Sockets/ Ports in flesh with Green Stuff

SO I have gotten a few e-mails concerning how to make sockets in flesh like I did with the Minotuar Daemon Prince above. First off, the method is one that I read about on Dave Taylor's blog and the post with the mini-tutorial can be found here. Anyway, I managed to pull it off quickly and easily, so I figured I would share a quick tutorial!

The Bull God Part IV: Minotaur Daemon Prince/ Greater Daemon Final WIP!

TJ AKA Old School here with my last WIP on the Minotaur/ Bull God conversion prior to painting it. This model has been a lot of fun and has taught me a couple of things as all ambitious projects tend to do. Let's take a look at the model as we talk shop ...

Fateweaver Conversion Part 1: The Fly of Destiny!

TJ here dropping another of my Daemon Conversion Projects on you. I have been in conversion mode lately so I am working on things while that side of the inspiration is there and when the painting bug bites, I will have tons of great stuff to paint. Anyway, I wanted to do my own take on Fateweaver and I happened to have this model kicking around from a conversion I started last year in October ... well, with my new inspiration, I took it apart, re purposed it, added some new bits and wham, I have a Fateweaver I have nicknamed the Fly of Destiny, though my wife is calling him the Fairy Man, which I am sure will stick with my friends ... anyway, let's take a look at this guy in the early stages of this conversion.

Greater Daemon Conversion w/ creepy eyeballs: Can you keep a secret?

Despite three months overseas with no hobby whatsoever, I picked up the tools and laid down this latest effort, complete with pinning, green stuff sculpting, conversion work and all manner of skills I had worried would have atrophied while away. This is the back of what will be my Keeper of Secrets/ Boon table DP/ Destroyer Lord/ Whatever I feel like it being at the appropriate base/ size for it. This is all part of my End of Days Army that includes my Converted Typhus and Bananas, the flying Monkey DP. Let's take a walk around this model though.

Jokaero Weaponsmith Conversion

This crazy little ape is, in my opinion, one of the best units in the Grey Knights codex.  Between the utility his weapons offer and the possible upgrades they grant to their unit, Jokaero Weaponsmith's are a hidden gem.  The biggest downside to them is the terribly unimpressive model GW has to offer.  So, with a suggestion from Chris Vinton, I upgraded my Jokaero into a formidable looking techno-gorilla.

Gorilla Daemon Prince: Flying Monkey Monster!

TJ here continuing with the Daemon Prince/ Greater Daemon model we discussed recently. I have done a considerable amount of green stuff work to smooth everything into place and I am now ready to show it off to you before it gets some paint on it. Let's take a look:

Chucks Space Viking Bits Box Army

 

Hello Everyone Chuck here AKA Wolfson with a quick photo dump of some things I have been working on lately.   I usually post about Eldar of the dark and light variety but TJ has been talking to me lately about building an army entirely out of my bitz box!  I mostly own eldar and dark eldar bitz but I am an avid fantasy player and have owned a few large armies over the years and will be pulling from the full range of chaos bitz including beastman as well as some vampire counts and dwarven stuff.  I also have some space wolf stuff just collecting dust and was recently given some more space wolf stuff when we were running the idea for this army by a friend of mine in MD. (Thanks Pete!)

Well lets take a look shall we!
