Here's where I'll be posting pics of my army as a whole, pretty much everythign aside from ym large covnersion project (Which I will transfer here shortly )

Let's start off with my Chaos Lord, Mortius:




And now assorted pictures of various figures from my army:

looks cool, i dont think we have a skaven nurgle army here so .... yay!

good luck with it i look forward to seeing it grow

have some rep!!

Many thanks, Phil; I hope to make my army truly one of a kind once it reaches completion. (if it ever does!)

Nice looking Skaven/Chaos Termie you got there! It always warms my heart to see PM's painted. Aces!!

looks good! photo quality is a bit naff though

Don't worry Azmodai, that was my first time trying out that camera-and at night at that! New pics of updated models will come soon enough, don't you worry!

Alright guys, been spending most of the evening and early morning working on this baby, inspired by the great work I've seen on this forum in the short time I've been here!






Got more to come when I'm on a better connection.

Nice work
A suggestion i have is, why dont you use a rat-ogre head instead of a CSM one.
Another thing is that you could model some warpstone in the armor.. skaven engineers that insert warpstone to get it to function as
they want!

well, ignoring the mould lines and the bits that need filling......Laz is right about the head, either use a rat ogre or extend the muzzle of the CSM head with some GS...or, is there a space wolf head you could use and GS/convert to look like a rat rather than a wolf?

Also the top of the dread looks a bit too busy, i have never liked those search lights to be honest and it ruins the line of the dreadnought, have you thuoght about fitting one to the back of the CC weapon? I mean, if its using it it wont be close enough to assault so would use his CC arm to 'search' and his gun to shoot. Althuogh i am not sure that search light would fit well there, maybe some kinda warpstone inspired search light?
And the two little rats would look MUCH better on its base i think, all i keep thinking is as soon as this guy starts walking they will slide off . If you do all this you will have that classic dreadnought silhouette and the eye will be drawn where its meant to be I.E. the head

Having said all of that i do like your dread so far , I have never seen a skaven dread before so keep it up and i look forward to seeing how it looks finished

phill,

ps REP!

LooooL

I got a Deja-Vu... I saw his babe 2 min ago on ATT - damn you Ophreus Mortius
Looking good anyways!!! nice and subtle conversions, not so convinced about the skaven heads... but I guess that's just your army style.

One point of critique, make the scratches look more randomized... yours look to much like in order


cheers

Well, Min, the ones on the combat arm are supposed to look like 3 claws raked on it (like a Genestealer or something along those lines), but I'll definitely keep that in mind. As for the rest of you guys, the Rat Ogre head would actually be a bit TOO big for that opening, believe it or not (Seriously, those Rat Ogres are bigger than Terminators! )! I actually have some spare Plague Monk heads left (the good ones) so I'll take a look at it and see if I can't find a way to do it that doesn't look like shite. Once I find a base for it, I'll DEFINITELY have plenty of loose rats running around, don't you worry; there's gonna be a whole swarm of 'em!

it's not wrong to do 3 scrathes next to each other to symbolise claws... but yours all go from up to bottom... maybe some in a digonal pattern would break it up

yeah, I see what you mean; again, I'll look into it when I get home. Don't wanna bring my modeling knife up here to the university and cause a big stink...

I agree about the searchlight. I never cared those those huge things.

Also, I think the rats would be better served on the model's base.

Overall, he's looking good. I think the CMS head looks fine, to be honest. Keep it up!
