Bonereaper Challenge

I proudly present you my contribution for the very cool Bonereaper Challenge from Between the Bolter and Me. This challenge was the perfect opportunity to add a new model to my Drukhari Army. A model I hadn't thought of without this challenge - another Haemonculus.

I have looked forward to this project since I first heard of it. Adam Wier did such a fantastic job with his conversion. Masterclass sculpting and I love how otherworldly his Eldar looks. A tall and slender Xenos, just pure awesomeness! Inspired by this I was aiming to get something similar but that hasn't worked well.

After I opend the box of the Bonereaper Mortek Guard my first thought was: 'Damn, these are tiny and so delicate!'. I cutted two models into pieces and tried to combine various bits with different arms and leg parts of all different kits like eldar or tyranids. Due to the fact that my green stuff skills are rather awkward, I started to rethink the possibilitys that this bonereaper kit offered for my style of converting. The head was the first thing I was sure about. Upper half mortek guard and the lower half is a modified head from the Drukhari Helions. I contiued to play around with combinations of bits and finally had a new plan.   

After I had found a good starting point I tried to get the Bonereaper bitz into the game. They were used for the Head, the belly middelpart with loincloth, on his back and for the upper arms. I also used some stuff similar to my other models to get a coherent look. I used the whips of the Daughters of Khaine and added blades and an injector. Inspired by the Codex artwork I created a strange drukhari artifact, which hovers in his hand. A few more details like chains and spikes and I was done and really pleased with the result. The paintjob was done in the same way as on my other Drukhari and was a lot of fun.

 Thank you very much for your interest and I hope you enjoy this model as much as I do. Stay tuned!

Carrion Pass

I'm very proud and thankful to be a little part of the amazing Inquisimunda event Carrion Pass, which was a two day event at this years Adepticon. I was given the opportunity to send over some NPCs.

Carrion Pass - Heist in the Ash Wastes

As the Great Ash Road approaches Hive Acropolis, it runs up against the impassable cliffs of a towering plateau.  Those with the time and fuel follow the road South, where two days travel across the flats brings the gates of Acropolis into view.

The less fortunate, or the foolhardy, may risk a run through the Carrion Pass.  This narrow canyon was once a seam of valuable ore, strip mined in a past age to feed the insatiable appetite of Necromunda’s industry.  Now it’s littered with the bones of man and machine - morbid warning signs to all who enter.
 

Hidden within the crags and side passages of the canyon is an eclectic warren of desperation and villainy.  Ash wasters, troll scum, slavers, mutants and worse descend upon any prey that passes by.
 

Imor Tan, servant of house Helmawr, guardian of the cargo rig is aware of what is may to come.
His loyal adjutant is already shouting orders and shoos the guards to their positions. An abhorrent bunch of disposable Hive Scum and Arco-Flagellants.

This is my modest contribution to the Inquisimunda event 'Carrion Pass' at Adepticon 2019. My request to join this event and contribute some NPCs was successful and I'm a bit proud and very thankful for this opportunity. At this point I'd like to say that this is my first step into the INQ28 / Inquisimunda community. Everyone I contacted so far was really nice, friendly and helpful.

I joined late and had litte time to create something for this event. I thought that my recently finished Marauders could fit into this scenario pretty well. The challanging part for me was to give this group the right appearance to serve as guards for the cargo rig. Enslaved and damned to guard the cargo rig till the end of their pathetic, worthless lives. Led by a commander with a more imperial / administrativ look, who ensures that they never forget their duty.

Mad Max Fury Road was permanent in my minds. Maybe becaus I've seen some Warbands of the attendants or maybe just because it's a 'heist in the ash wastes' scenario. I converted the Janus Draik mini and created an adjutant based on a Chaos Cultist. I painted them the same way I've painted the marauders before and think they have a coherent look and match perfectly.
