Man awesome army!!! I especially love your lava, the OSL on cinder breath’s snout and his skin tone as well. Only critics I might have are the movement tray, you are talented man! These look very flat. And the splashing lava in front of the Taurus doesn’t look convincing as well IMO…
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Glad you like them.
@skink: You mentioned exactly the critics I see myself. I already worked on the Taurus lava splashes, they’re better now but I’m still not happy :~ I’ll do the movement trays when my army is finished, because I have only a limited amount of the basing material at my disposal. I have to see how much is left… but yeah, something must be done
One more thing I changed are the horns of the Lammasu. I think the silver was no nice contrast to the blue, so they’re bone-colored now.
Great work on that converted Lamassu and the rest looks great too. I was thinking of doing the same with my Chaos Manticore. Did you use a Giant Head? What about using Giant hooves for the back feet (just for my own personal interest)?

beefcake
Glad you like it ^^ Yes I used the Giant’s head with beard. Originally I wanted to sculpt a curly beard, but then I enjoyed the feral look I added the Horns, Fangs, pointy ears, the ring and… eyebrows ^^
The worst part was finding fitting wings and then by chance I decided to use a cockatrice for my Dark Eldar Clawed Fiend and…voila!
Here’s another pic with the actual horns:

I never thought of hooves, but that’s agreat idea! (Also I won’t change mine at this point ^^) The stonehorn-hooves could fit quite well…
Your K’Daai look familiar Wink
herby
HA! I knew someone on CDO used Juggernauts aswell :cheers but I haven’t seen yours before… sadly. I really like your heat effect. Yours look “hotter” and less like juggers (that’s a good thing), also I really enjoyed the outcome of my purple parts.
Hehe, yeah the Manburner looks a lot like the beetle-like destroyer from the Monsterous Arkanum artwork (which really like to be honest ^^)
I must admit that I also had the feelng that the “normal” K’Daai look more special than the Manburner when regarded seperately, but he looks nice in the unit as he adds contrast. If I could, I would have sculpted flames on him… Originally I wanted to do the same patern on him like on the normal K’Daai just red, but that turned out pink-ish :sick One day I’ll add a group shot
:hat off
Edit: I looked at the pic now for several minutes and by now I think I should repaint him… maybe something along the line of your K’Daai, if you permit…
Once again, well done. I especially like the metal, it surely looks like the real stuff. Well done on the Ogre’s skin as well, that’s some smooth blending!!! What’s up next?
Thanks a lot! It was quite a work to get the metals right, but that’s a thing I really wanted to achieve with my CD: Real Steel ^^
The Ogres ski tone was stolen from my very own DE Talos
Next on the list are the leftover Fireglaives (4+converted Champ) and the skullcracker :sick
That thing is gonna be terrible. I just hope I won’t loose my CD-motivation with the 6t Edition of 40k, as they’re so close to being finished… (til FW releases the Bill Centaurs and the Destroyer)
