Bananaman Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well, the 3 recent DoK videos have a lot to answer for! 3 Bloodcoven boxes and a hotline on standby for the new stuff (take my money!) and I seem to have started a new army...... I've been messing about with the bases, going for a ruined temple theme akin to the ones in the video. So like a lot of folk I imagine have been inspired by that vid. Ruined greco-roman columns, temple flooring - all with a hooks and barbs twist though! Morathi is super peed off so I want to reflect that in the architecture! First conversion is my Death Hag - a kitbash from Hellebron and the Yvrainne kits. You need to do a fair bot of chopping (including my thumb in this case!) to get the torsos to fit properly. I also removed all of the soulstones seeing as that's a Aeldari thing not an Aelf thang. I also thought they looked a bit foppish for this army. For the same reason I have shaved off all of the earings from the Witch Aelves. Anyways - there you go! I shall update some more as I go on on a fairly irregular basis. Next up I plan to assemble some Sisters. For more regular musings/micro updates you can follow me on Twitter @timfisher22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahriman Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Wow! That Death Hag conversion is insane! It just works so damn well. And the bases too, they'll look incredible on the board, makes me reminiscent of unit fillers, making the unit look like they're actually walking through some where.

Chris Tomlin Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 @Bananaman - I'm really looking forward to seeing this army evolve. In my minds eye I can see your old Slaanesh Daemon and Lizardmen armies from older WFB editions and am imagining a similar colour palette. Regardless of what you do though, I think this is going to be a great project for people to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Cheers mate. Colours I can't quite pin down yet. I keep thinking of a similar scheme to my 8th ed Slaanesh DoC but I also keep looking at the traditional DoK scheme and mixing it up just a little (darker red, contrasted with a cream/bone) ... but can't make my mind up yet. I also like the idea of mixing the two above and going for a turqiouse and blood red scheme........... Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfSigmar Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Know I've seen these on Whatsapp but going to be an awesome looking army when you've got it all built and done! Will definitely be following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfhead Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Lovely work so far! The death hag is an amazing conversion, the bare feet don’t look as out of place as they do on yvraine (Imo) and the pose of the upper body works perfectly. I also really like you’ve put some of the witches on big chunks of scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ok, firstly, that conversion is absolutely top notch. Secondly, I apologise as I'm very likely to steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightbox Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Omg that death hag is amazing!! I might have to do something similar... really creative. Love it. Looking forward to seeing her painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 A bit more progress. Got 10 Sisters assembed and also made the Death Hag’s fully pimped out Cauldron! I used some Drukhari Raider platform parts to make a larger stage at therop of the Cauldron, altered the position of the staircase (it’s higher up and back), cut down some fairings and the braziers and repositioned the cauldron itself and added another! Super Death Hag deserves a super ride! Just waiting on the undercoat to dry now and I can start painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning a Yvraine conversion myself but this took that to the next level. Nice idea re: the scheme. I'm holding off until the battletome to see what fluff/rules are linked to different schemes but more & more these days I'm tempted not to use a pale skin and light coloured hair combo. I love the cauldron too - great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Agree on the hair. I did a test mininwith turquoise hair and it doesn’t look right. I’m no big fan of the pale haired studio paint job either. The more I think about it the more I’m inclined to give them all black hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 It’s been a while since I updated this thread but I have been making progress. colour scheme is settled - a blue skin with some mottling and slaanesh grey hair highlighted up to a silver-white. Also the Deepkin book has seen bought about some reinforcement. ‘Morathi’s blend of shadow, blood and souls created a memory of Khaine-that-was. Immense power but utterly under the control of Morathi. She-who-would-be-god uses the ‘Aspect of Blood’ to convince her followers of her holy purpose.... and to crush any doubters.’ I de-fishied the big guy and added some avatar parts and a Bloodwrack spear head. Removed the sea bed base but kept the jars as they match my basing. Added a few bits n bobs and will add some more snakes soon too. Assembling some Khinerai tonight.
