All the bodywork done

The praetorian has now rolled off the assemblyline and is ready for the paintshop.

On the road again

After quite a pause due to holidays and loads of great family time, I'm back in the hobby room working on the herakli. Pretty much done now, most bits and tubing added, quite darkcore and evil looking IMO - like it to be honest. Scary in the way a weaponized monster should be.

Stabilized

We cannot, of cause, have our bioconstruct driving the uneven dirt of strange planets without stabilizing him some, might put of his aim it could - yes? So I've added some pneumatics to the rather rich abdomen to keep him straight. Also tightened the six-pack some by adding a thin mix of milliput and water.

An Evil Chainfist

Got the chainfist grafted onto the newly grown pink flesh and fresh nerve ends, and I do think it looks kind of evil. Sure should deal out some pain if some enemy scum should come too close. Or perhaps I should let it count as a chainaxe on his S5 T6 W3 badass - have a nice day.

Fingerprinting.........

Have been venturing even further into sculpting land - yes it's still quite simple, but for me it's still kind of rather new and difficult. Really funny this sculpting work, but yawser, do I  have a lot to learn.
I added some abdominal muscles and a bit of wetware for the big guy - thanks to Dave Taylor for the great tutorial, check it out here: http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.dk/2013/05/is-it-time-to-fight.html

Much better

So here is a blutaced mock up - not too bad I think. Must say I have a much better feeling about this one, more in proportion and more evil looking.

Here we go again

For followers or others, who scroll through the previous post, it will come as no surprise that the design of the Herakli and me have not been the best of friends. So inspired by the AT-43 models I've decided to try and go a different way. Not put together yet but several of the parts are coming along.

AT-43 Oni TacArms

Still trying to figure out what to do for my Herakli, and while browsing around I came across these really cool models from the old AT-43 - Oni TacArms. Unfortunately they are really hard to find anywhere. So was wondering, if any of you readers out there would have a set or two you'd be willing to part with. I think they could make great Herakli, with just a few touch-ups.

New bioconstructs

Having had a lot of good feedback on the Herakli head, and while I'm taking it all in a trying to decide which way to go I started working on some servitors.Cheap, plenty and with quite a few weapon options, I think they can actually be quite an asset if lead by a techpriest, to help them pass those annoying mindlock tests. The first two are uplinked and ready to serve.
The heads on these two are from Anvil Industry, and the extremely cool tracks are from Plastik Krak - links to both can be found in the righthand sidebar.

Honestly.....

Well, to be completely honest, I don't know what to think about this hood. Not really happy, certainly it does not look like any other hoods out there. Not really sure why though - perhaps the "sides" needed to be more straight? Or it should have been placed more forward - "hanging" more in front of the eyes? Also not completely unhappy - does look like a hood - a bit. And once I add a few folds and the planned cables it might once again change look completely - meaning I might get lucky.....
