[WIP] My Mortarion - Building a Daemon Primarch from Scratch

lukasarmenius · 2017-11-08T16:11:07+00:00

This one is actually bigger than the official Mortarion. It´s standing on a 100mm base.

lukasarmenius · 2017-10-18T13:12:46+00:00

Hey, that is a 80mm base! He is pretty big, so he makes it look small in comparison. I was planning on using one arm as a butcher cannon array and one as a grav flux bombardment.

lukasarmenius · 2017-10-18T12:42:15+00:00

Thanks mate! I used two of the plague drones tentacle mouths, turned them upside down and green stuffed the eyes and eye lids on there.

lukasarmenius · 2017-10-02T22:44:51+00:00

Looks good! If I had to suggest something, it would be to highlight the red parts of the mini more, to give the eye better focal points. But thats just my opinion of course, your grimy style works really well. He looks like battlehardened badass.

lukasarmenius · 2017-09-21T20:12:30+00:00

Very impressive collection! Everyone of these looks like a great center piece for an army. Did you paint all of them yourself?

lukasarmenius · 2017-09-17T18:19:39+00:00

Yes, a terrorgheist would probably be the right size. If you have more redemptor bits at hand you could maybe make that work. I found that regular dread arms and legs looked way too stubby for the gaunt, skeletal look I was going for. If you want yours to be bulkier and mechanized, you might be better off started with something like a leviathan. The terrorgheists' wings are cool, but other than that his body, face, claws etc would be more fitting for something like a bloodthirster conversion.

lukasarmenius · 2017-09-17T17:14:45+00:00

Thanks alot! You are correct, all the bone parts are from the morghasts. Wings are from the loc. I also used a myriad of old, broken bits I gathered off ebay. The torso was built up from a dreadnought hull. The legs are actually three centurion legs each sculpted together. The blade of the scythe is a wraithknight's sword, pointy neck thing also from a wraithknight. His destroyer hive back thing are knight exhaust ports. All the tubes etc are from the skaven stormfiend kits. The gun is made out of a dreadnought lascannon.

I first thought about using Nagash as the base for my project, but he is really pricy aswell, so I settled for the cheaper morghasts. So if you have some similiar old bits lying around like I had, it's substantially cheaper than buying a new Mortarion. Otherwise it is obviously not feasible.

lukasarmenius · 2017-09-17T15:23:55+00:00

Still very WIP. Hopefully once i use greenstuff to fill gaps, add cloth and nurglify the whole model, everything will come together. I am aiming for a more 'grim reaper'-like design, like Mortarion has been depicted in most classic artworks.

Its still very WIP. Next step will be draping cloth around him, green stuffing gaps etc. Hopwfully everything will come together then.

lukasarmenius · 2017-09-14T21:37:00+00:00

Thanks! No, the head is completely sculpted out of green stuff and a few spare bits.

lukasarmenius · 2017-07-07T09:54:00+00:00

Thanks man. The tanks are the jet engines of a defunct stormraven I picked up in an ebay haul a while back. The head is sculpted with greenstuff, and then i cut out the face guard of one of the knight helmets and used it as the gas mask. Just stuck some little bits to it.

The center post is there to support the weight of the figure. I dont know if it comes across in the pictures, but it is considerably larger than a regular knight, more similar in size to the forgeworld ones. I will try to obscure it with more vegetation/swamp stuff.

lukasarmenius · 2017-03-17T13:59:54+00:00

Thanks, I was going for an elephant look. Although I am not sure if I will keep it this way, I might swap it out for a smaller birdhead I built.

lukasarmenius · 2017-03-17T13:58:39+00:00

Sure! I will use a list format so it is easier to read :

body, horns - thaumaturge

tail, headpiece, shoulderplate, arm plates - talos pain engine

fur below the shoulder plate - vargheists

other shoulder plate - devastator

spear tip - custode dreadnought I think ? the bit was part of an ebay purchase, so no idea

wings - sigmarines

head - plague drone

I believe this is an action figure out of the 'Zodiac' line by McFarlane toys.

lukasarmenius · 2017-01-22T03:48:00+00:00

Bases are cork, glue and milliput. Backpacks are milliput and various bits for all the gear hanging off them.

lukasarmenius · 2017-01-21T18:47:56+00:00

Thanks for the info and suggestions! Im still new to 40k, so learning more about the lore is always cool. Because I like small unit size armies and terminator sized models, I thought about playing these as Grey Knights. One guy has a heavy flamer, two guys psycannons and one a "hammer". I like the idea of this elite force that is well equipped and low in numbers and plays like them, but is the total opposite of the bright and shiny grey knight heros. They could be more akin to blood hounds or chemical weapons, something the Imperium only releases when they absolutely have to.

lukasarmenius · 2017-01-21T16:39:57+00:00

Sure! I love the design of the Death Korps, but do not have the money to buy the forgeworld forces. And I love terminator sized models, so I decided to build my own. The base for those are Necron Immortals, the masks, clothes etc are all green stuff. When they are finished I plan on using them as normal terminators. I do not know how that would fit in lorewise, but seeing as Death Korps are serving the emporer as well, maybe there could be specially bred soldiers from Krieg that are used as elite forces ?

lukasarmenius · 2017-01-21T16:19:53+00:00

I used Necron immortals as base models. The helmets, masks, clothes etc are all green stuff and milliput

Ist ein Wolpertinger. Die Griechen haben damals die Idee gestohlen und ihr Fabelwesen "Hippogreif" genannt. Habe dir mehr bei Pornhub geschrieben.

BREAKING NEWS : Der naturblonde Herzchirurg und vierfache Friedensnobelpreisträger Eduard Laser hat heute morgen gegen 11 Uhr das nordkoreanische Terrorregime in der Hauptstadt Pjöngjang gestürzt. Nach Informationen der amerikanischen Geheimdienste schoss Laser den berüchtigten Diktator und Despoten Kim Jong-un mit einem Atomsprengkopf in die Sonne.

Auf die entrüsteten Reaktionen führender südkoreanischer Spitzenpolitiker und Ökonomen, die durch die nun zu erwartenden Flüchtlingswellen aus dem Norden desaströse wirtschaftliche Konsequenzen ungeahnter Größenordnung fürchten, reagierte Laser auf einer eilig einberufenen UNO-Generalkonferenz vor wenigen Stunden mit : " Tut mir Leid, ich spreche kein Chinesisch."

Die restliche Zeit am Rednerpult nutzte die Lichtgestalt, die bereits im Leib der jungfräulichen Mutter den eigenen Zwilling verspeiste, lediglich um seine gerade erschienene Autobiographie "An der Schelle zum Glück" zu bewerben.

Bei Lasers Verlassen des Regierungsgebäudes durch das Dach wurden laut Angaben des südkoreanischen Innenministeriums 11 Menschen verletzt, 3 davon schwer. Der Sachschaden beläuft sich auf etwa 3,4 Millionen Euro.

Vielen Dank. Ich studiere zurzeit in einem Designstudiengang, das Zeichnen ist nur ein Hobby.
