Slaves to Darkness army project (pt.3) - building the Gorebeast Chariots

Rather slow but irresistible progress on the Chariots. The one with three horses carrying a platform will become a regular chariot, other three are Gorebeast ones. Got the good old Hero Quest Chaos Warrior and two Blood Bowl dudes riding them. Even though it's visible in the pictures, I'd like to try and describe these things. First we've got a goat-spider drawing a chariot that's growing a demonic face on it's floor. Then there's this reverse-goat-beholder with crab claws, whose fanged rear mouth has just given birth to an egg that's now travelling on a cart with a nest made of skulls and bones. And finally we have a three-eyed gorilla-pig, who's getting eaten by the chariot. Because why not.

Slaves to Darkness army project (pt.2) - Converting, bashing and sculpting the characters

Long time - no post. Haven't felt like writing and editing pictures for quite some time. Still done lots of work with the Slaves to Darkness army. Also taken dozens of pics along the way. So many actually, that I felt like splitting them between a few posts. 

This one's about the mounted characters of my army: a Sorcerer Lord on Manticore and two Chaos Lords on Karkadraks. Done much sculpting work on them, experimenting with different textures. Very fun and educational to try and replicate things like the feathers on Manticore's wings (the wings are originally from a very old Marauder Miniatures War Griffon that had a hat on). None of these are quite ready yet, but getting close!
