Lightbox Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 So in order to avoid me spamming the malign portents tale of ?? With all my project photos I have instead decided to make a topic to share my painstaking tribal themed daughters of khaine conversions with you all! These are trying to be designed with both being a fun army project and also a first forray into AoS28 with some of them, trying to capture character and a bit of a dark edge in the girls (painting is gonna make all the difference I think) Anyway without further ado here are the girls so far!!

The Traitor Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Cool looking take on the witches, specially like the Hag, as the bloodletters skull just looks badass, and the hornblower, though I think you got the arm too low and actually there's a hole on it (had the same problem when assembling mine, fortunately realised before it was dry, it doesn't fit as nicely as the rest of the kit).

Lightbox Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Oh darn... I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I had to position it down to fit with the head. Thanks for the compliment! I am especially proud of the hag. The conversion idea for her is what kicked off this project really They're designed to fit alongside my mordheim amazons I'm using as freeguild militia. But they're really taking on their own identity as well which is great though I am running out of ideas for how to do more with different skull motifs! Greenstuffing feathers is a big pain so the least amount of that I can do the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedatkinszed Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Nice work! I really like this idea. Might try out something like this myself. I always liked the idea of Witch Aelves with masks or headdresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Right so it's been a while! I had been wanting to get a model finished paint scheme wise before posting it but I think instead I'll just try to regularly grace you all with WIP's. So expect an update tonight or tomorrow with where I currently am on my painting Will also try and get my blood cauldron started on! (Definitely the planned bone snake statue, not sure if I've enough skulls to make it though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch of Izalith Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cool Project! That death hag looks fantastic! - Also a great way to avoid having to try and do the girls makeup! Looking forward to seeing how they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulgzhakar Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Timely project to have started! Just picked up some DoK myself after the big announce. Nice to see a fresh take on the model. I'm looking forward to seeing the painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Out of curiosity, what is this bone snake statue you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically instead of the khaine statue i wasn't going to makw a snake statue from loads of skulls from the skull set. It'll be a fun little building project.

Lightbox Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Unfortunately due to real life stuff ive not been able to make any progress However I did promise WIP paintscheme photos if i did lack finished models so behold the base layers of my colour scheme. I'm a bit unsure on it at the moment but I'm really hoping it'll come out well when finished. Just gotta keep plodding on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Looking good and great to see them coming alive with some paint on. I think the base skin tone and orange are clashing at the moment, but i have found that happening with base colour on paint schemes a number of times and it's only when they're around 80% complete that you really see the character and balance come through. Keep plodding as you say and If that doesn't happen, maybe move the skin out of the red spectrum and towards purple / lilac to balance with the other secondary colours?

Tbh I'm more unsure about the orange and green. Considering making the clothing black instead though worry that with the hair it'll be too much black.. though if I use dark reaper highlight on the clothes I can use a grey on the hair for the highlights to make it a different style of black. Though alternatively purple might work nicely. I'll play around with it. The skintone will be highlighted with cadian fleshtone so will end up lighter than it currently looks.

I think purple or a dark blue might work really well. I personally use black hair, white skin with purple shadows and red cloth and I like that combination as well.

Lightbox Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm going to try and go with the purple suggested as I feel that will fit better than dark blue alongside the greens. Though might try the nice pinky purple colour. Regardless it deserves a test and I'll try and get some more wip photos tonight, getting painting motivation has been a bit of a struggle.

Lightbox Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well it's been a while but I'm finally beginning work on the BONE SNAKE. Will need a bladed tail or something to act as the statue sword. Also that big skull is totally going on one of my avatars as a mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Updaaaaaate! So I've been busy today even though I've been feeling very ill Managed to put my two avatars together with one being heavily converted because of using his sword for a wraithlord aaages back. On the bright side the conversion came out well and help it fit in with my skullgirls though you'll notice the skull I'd originally planned to use was waaay too big. Also managed to get the bone snake built now it's taken me all day pretty much but has turned out surprisingly well considering it was just a throw skulls together and hope for the best! It can really give khorne a run for his money with all those skulls Also gave it a bladed tail now the blood cauldron avatar (which this will replace) can attack from atop it.

Lightbox Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well now that I'm recovered from my illness I've begun progress again! Today I got myself round to finally building my bloodwrack shrine to go with the ten melusai I preordered! I also finally have settled on a paint scheme for the girls which I am pretty happy with I know the bronze is a bit close to the dark skin but I like it regardless so it's fine... Probably. Pretty happy with it but it now means I have to paint all my other models too D: why can't I just be a small 1 model army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully as fun as it was I never have to build another one because goodness it took a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 So I know it's been aaaaages but I have actually been a little bit productive with the skullgirls of recent!! I now have morathi and have very almost finished her little form whilst doing lots of good work on big! I need to have her finished off by tomorrow so that I can play her in my game on sunday. Should be fun! Also got some khinaerae to build... It's a pain because it's state of decay 2 weekend and i can't balance that with painting Anyway I also finished up a blood sister. Just got 4 more for this squad and then also a purple squad to do... Fun times! Thankfully only really big M needs to be finished as she requires painting in sub assemblies. Regardless I'm looking forward to it! Will get a practice game vs my friend who will then be my teammate in the 2v2 straight after! Lots of angry snake stomping. Should be a riot!!

Lightbox Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Finally started building the cauldron of blood for my bonesnake today! Think I'll leave a lot of the big spikes off this one as they're a hassle for transport. And it'll make it look more different from my shrine too Thinking I may paint this one bone coloured as opposed to my shrines golden basecoat.
