Hi YakTribe,
Long time no see. The 3D space Hulk project still burns in the imagination, but work stress and a global pandemic has really taken its toll on my life and hobby time lately.
However! I've been tinkering away at some necromunda projects that are at a stage that I feel comfortable sharing now.
The first is a slave ogryn conversion of an old warhammer fantasy ogre I had lying around in my bits box.
Green stuff, an ork hand, plasticard and guitar wire make up the bulk of the conversion. I used blue tak to fill the majority of his tum, topped that off will wall filler and then sculpted the rest with green stuff.
Here is what I had to work with:
This is where I am at. I need to add some teeth to the wrench and sand down the filler drying between the two plasticard sheets I used to make it:
I'm pretty happy where it's heading towards. I like the ogryn models that games workshop previewed and felt inspired enough to try my hand at making one. I thought about trying to make it more similar to the reveal ogryns, but ultimately decided to keep it simple.
So that's project one. Project two was inspired by this spekter concept art that I was browsing after ordering myself a set of Delaque gangers.
When inspecting the art I noticed that the body kinda looked like a cadian helmet. This thought sparked a crazed chopping, shaping, filing fest after finishing work today. The end result of this frenzy was the following:
It really needs to have the little claws on the tentacles smoothed and thinned out, but pretty happy with this one as well. I am also contemplating chopping off the headlight from an old Citroen car model to use as the primary optics shown in the concept image. Not sure about that though, so will think about other options.
Thanks for perusing my post if you have made it this far, and if anyone has any hints for a Delaque newbie let me know. From what I have read the spekter is kinda trash, but it does look cool.
Cheers,
Al
