Two weeks into Dreadtober and the conversion of my Slaaneshi sonic dreadnaught is finally complete (barring odds and ends like the shin armour which will be kept separate for painting and added back in later).
The claw-arm is now looking much better with the inclusion of some cables to anchor it to the rest of the model.
I’ve also finished off the warp-amp with a few chains to hold it in place (providing some visual consistency with the Nurgle helbrute I built last year).
With two weeks to go the first layers of paint will be going on soon but in the meantime your thoughts and feedback are very welcome.

Looking bad ass buddy. The cables really balanced the claw. Can’t wait to see it painted.

Me too! Thanks for the feedback and encouragement re the cables, they’ve definitely improved it a lot.

I… I think he might be a heretic lads, no quiet Jenkins, I’m almost certain of it. True, the ways of the Angels of Death are alien in nature to me. What, no Commissar I didn’t mean -BLAM-

P.S. I really like the weird lasher tendril saw, it’s just obscene!

Cheers! I’ll admit when I first cobbled the claw together I had one of those ‘good grief, what have I created?!’ mad scientist moments where it disturbed and inspired me in equal measure and I knew it was just too twisted not to use 🙂

Your imagination is just as good as your skills man. I’m loving this model. The chains and cables really add something.

Thanks mate. Yeah, it’s starting to feel like a model now, I feel the cables and chains really pull everything together 🙂

Love it mate, can’t wait to see what lascivious colours you go with!

Cheers! To be honest the colour scheme is something of an unknown for me too, I’ve got a plan of course but I’ve no idea how it’s going to look on the model. It’ll feature lots of stark white and bare metal to tie it in the rest of the army but it needs to look distinctly Slaaneshi as well. It’ll take some cues from the Noise Marine I painted a while back https://convertordie.wordpress.com/2015/05/04/murderers-are-getting-prettier-every-day/ but in a lot of ways this model is me testing the waters before building up the Youngest God’s followers in my army.

Loving the conversions in there and the small details like the screaming skulls on the legs.

Cheers mate! I think with this one I’ve made enough screaming faces to last me a lifetime!
