Greetings Terrans, how goes it? Here we are again with cheeky little LotD post for the weekend. First up is a dude with a Stalker Bolter… i.e. a longer ranged, harder hitting sniper variant, (you can tell by the scope, and by the squared magazine). I imagine this guy will be a Lieutenant, & that he’ll hang with a squad of Stalker guys so he can give them a reroll to, (I think), to wound:
Next up we have a converted Captain – one of two identical models that I ended up with. I’ll play him as per the base model, although his power sword has been swapped for a rather brutal looking Maul. I also re-posed the power glove, and obviously I’ve festooned the guy’s armour with skulls. This nicely changes the outline of the base model, and so does a great job of de-duplication:
In the fluff I have in mind, I imagine that these Primaris had a classic ‘lost in the warp’ experience, and that in their damning, they were beset by Daemonic attack over and over again. As such, Daemons & trophies thereof are going to feature here and there, and this is really the first expression of this idea. Ok, fine, so some of the skulls are Nids, but they can count as Daemons ok? 😉
And that’s it dudes, short but sweet! Stay safe 😊

Some fantastic detail on these Alex. In addition to the flames I’m loving that check work, the Stalker Bolter wing and the skulls. The demonic face on the second figure is a real stand out too. This is super impressive little army you are putting together I must say. 🤗
Alex said:
Cheers dude – the winged skull thingy & daemonic face are so nicely textured, they are a joy to pick out. I’m really enjoying myself with these guys 😊

Excellent! I love the contrast between the cleanliness of the Lieutenant and the grittiness of the Captain.
Alex said:
Thanks mate – yeah, the Cap’s a bit further down the whole path of damnation I reckon 😁 🔥🔥🔥

So bloody cool mate. It’s really nice to see you back to posting. Your work is incredible and has a great balance to it. Top Work!
Alex said:
Aw shucks, thanks dude 😊

They are quality. Love the detail suck as the bones painted on!
Alex said:
Thanks mate, very much part of the look 😊👍

Mate, those checks are exquisite (I mean, everything here is really well done but checks are a real dark art to me, I admire anyone who can pull it off). Also that demonic face on the captain’s chest is just the bit I needed for a conversion of my own, why didn’t I think of that! :-D
Alex said:
Cheers dude, I’ve had a bit of practice with chequers – just go for it mate 😉
So what’ve you got planned for that face then?? I’m intrigued!
Wudugast said:
It’ll be the head of a Khorgorath. I got it with the Khorne half of the original AoS starter but I don’t really like it (or in fact it would be more accurate to say I really don’t like it!) so I’ve been tinkering around trying to improve it, with limited success so far. The old head got nabbed for another project ages ago, it’ll probably end up as the face of a corpse-grinder cultist. The new face suits the Khorgorath nicely though, now I just need to sort out the stupid-looking hands and we’re away.
