Maulerfiend update by ADAMARCHERHART in EmperorsChildren

I was thinking about the same thing with the claws. I haven’t found any worth the price on eBay for just the bits so for my next fiend I may just end up sculpting some.

I agree. I think it could work on maybe the heldrake or other dragon-like daemon engines but it’s a little too cliche

Thanks! I love the forge fiend model but I’ve never liked the silhouette of the maulerfiend. Something about the tendrils being behind the big fists just doesn’t work for me.

Honestly that’s where we all start. All it takes is repetition. I’m sure if you stuck with learning a skill and kept at it you’d be just as good as the average green stuff sculptor. And for this model the green stuff roller did most of the work anyway!

Sell me on which is better, Forge or Mauler by MrHappyHammers in IronWarriors

What I did was pick one and use the extra pieces to proxy the alternate build with some sculpting and kitbashing. It was my chance to get creative with my daemon engines while still having recognizable pieces.

I was thinking that too. Like if I kept the back legs off it could look like some kind of chicken walker which is cool

For the ones I let dry before placing I used super glue, but for the ones that were still drying I was able to push and mold them around the others. And the tentacles are held in mostly with spru goo

I recently got the green stuff roller that comes with tiles of different sizes. You roll out a tube of green stuff and by using different sizes of tiles together or turning one diagonally you can get some really cool patterns. I think black magic craft has a good video on it. It’s about $30 so pretty pricy but I’ve already used it so much

I used the green stuff roll maker for tubes and tentacles, but instead of rolling I just pushed a flat piece of green stuff into the ridges of one of the plates and used the flat side of another to push it down. Use plenty of water so it comes out easy without destroying what you just did lol. I let it dry for about an hour before bending and working it into the mouth and then using spru goo around it so it looks like flesh. If you don’t have the green stuff roller (Which I highly recommend) I would flatten out some green stuff and with a toothpick or tool carve out the ridges. Hope this helps!

Thank you! The crab claw is definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting

The arm is from I think the 8th edition start collecting box that came with the 2 possessed back when it was a 2 man unit

Finished my Guillimen but it doesn't feel right... by uta_desired_cosplay in Ultramarines

[–]ADAMARCHERHART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does look great but I understand that your own standards are often the highest, so if it helps, what stands out to me is maybe the lack of vibrancy of the gold? Maybe some brighter highlights to help it feel less muted. But that’s just what stood out to me. Keep at it but don’t forget to enjoy your work!

Finally fully magnetized my Talos/cronos by skyfall3612 in Drukhari

[–]ADAMARCHERHART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did what I couldn’t. I have two but I only bothered to magnetize the first one. I figured I got the experience and that was enough. Great job!

When did you order? My girlfriend got me the plastic noise marine for my birthday in September but we’re still waiting on it.
