zobo1942:

Wow - those look GREAT!

Thorin:

Looks great, hats off :hat off

Skink:

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…

CopperPot:

Very nice mate.

deadlydeceiver:

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 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

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.

Glimpse the Void:

I’ll be searching for clean pants now. I love the flame effects.

fairoaks024:

:hat off

Regards

Jim

Da Crusha:

very nice work! you’ve been hiding these for much too long. glad we finally saw them.

Animatone:

The hot coals on the Iron Daemon are amazing, not to mention everything else. Very cool stuff!

Keep it up and can’t wait to see what else you come up with.

vulcanologist:

Very nice lava effect! Good stuff!

beefcake:

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)?

deadlydeceiver:

Woah! Thank you very much everyone! Wasn’t expecting such a positive feedback :o

The hot coals on the Iron Daemon are amazing, not to mention everything else.

Animatone
Hey good eye there :hat off actually I got the coal-technique from someone here on CDO… I’ll look it up and add the link later.

Edit: It was Poutsma! Poutsma’s Occupation Therapy

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 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: 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:

[attachment=3408]

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.

Have a look at my Manburner:

[attachment=3410]

and the Hashut runes I added :wink:

deadlydeceiver:

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…

wallacer:

Nice colouring on the prophet and BSB. It actually looks like they’re standing next to a furnace.

deadlydeceiver:

Let me show you something new!

My Lammasu-Rider

CopperPot:

Thats just naughty.

CopperPot
;P

Here's someting new! My dreadquake! *Tremble in fear" :hat

Skink:

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?

deadlydeceiver:

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 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

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)
