So Kirioth over on YouTube has caught my interest yet again. I saw that he’s been working on a Slaanesh force (all the cool cultists should) and he’s displayed his Knights that are absolutely grand. I’ve loved seeing such large pieces done in a way for Chaos that breaks far from the cleanliness of regular Space Marine kit.

He had a bit of a conundrum that he announced with wanting to rename and convert a Lord of Skulls model. Being the ever helpful guy I am I suggested the idea of calling the final model The Ossuary of the Eternal Orgy. Looking over the model it just screams Khorne (really just sit and look at the model and you’ll hear it). I noted the thought of using more arches like those found in the Dark Eldar Incubi armor and to retool the weapon to be like theirs. Considering the skulls plating it also might be a good idea to put on some cultists in the throes of ecstasy that are being absorbed into the demonic engine of destruction. What better way to go as your blood became the lifeblood of a thrill-killing fuck machine? Ok, it might not be “that” bad but I’m sure that if you punched the body horror element up and wanted to take on some Cenobite creativity it could happen.

Looking at the bottom portion the tank treads just need to go. In their place I suggested putting in a complete Arachnarok. A big chunky model with multiple supports and an organic feel would go hand in hand with the visuals of the rest of the force range. Take off the arachnid ‘face’ and put in some sort of rounded plate like the visor to a great helm with inset weaponry like an undermounted cannon system like on the Forgeworld Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer or the side mounted quad bolters for the Land Raider Prometheus. If GW lives by the code of “More Is More” then you’ve got to go all in and fully overboard with this plan.

@crazyredcoat I believe that you’ve confused the Germans with your newfound levels of kink.

@sundancer I believe that there needs to be more ‘leder, gummi und lack” for the flying furry man to make sense as to why he has anything up his rump at the moment the photo was taken. This might be that Chaos aesthetics I was writing about before peering through.

@wolfch Speaking of tanks and hitting one of my favorite anime series, John’s as well, I’ll say that I am rather fond of Darjeeling and her leadership for St. Gloriana’s Girl College (nuts to the Funimation PC translation by the voice actress). The Cromwells came out well for the photos and should prove very nice the way you’re going. I will advise that you should always beware the damn Matildas in World of Tanks at low levels or jump into them if you play the British lines.

@tuffyears The quality of models put put has really caught my attention with the advancement in 3D sculpting tech. Generally I haven’t been a fan of the dwarf models in past but these are ok by me.

Ok a bit of tankery stuff and music
