Hey folks, Adeptus Hobbyist here with a fun tutorial on how to take the Khorne Lord of Skulls and transform it into a two legged walking machine of death with just the parts in the kit!

First step is constructing the upper torso, following the directions in the box, build it as shown right down to the large circular base that the gut weapon attaches to, leaving the arms and pauldrons un attached (Save this step for last).

Second we start working on the position of the legs, there 4 hydraulic pistons you use to attach the legs to the torso, glue the two pistons together slightly off tilt so it imitates the effect of walking once the legs are attached, this will look like one piston being longer than the other, once those are glued take the hobby saw and cut them down so they are both flat, it's best to cut the inner piston shaft, that means you will be cutting through the other piston's shaft housing, that is normal.

As we start to build the legs, build two as complete tanks, and two with just the sides and the tops on, leave the bottoms hollow.

The two complete tanks will be the lower calves and the ones with no bottom will be the upper thighs.

Take the Citadel Hobby Saw to the upper thigh pieces and cut them at roughly 15-20 degree angle, nothing too steep, then glue them to the top of the lids on the lower leg sections, then use greenstuff to attach the thigh plates as knee pads, now glue the pistons to the legs roughly about center then allow them to dry.

Glue the pistons with the legs into the beveled area on the sides of the circular hips.

the bottom of calves will be attached to the anchor that normally would go on the hull of the tank, flipping the extra container bottoms upside down and attached with plastic glue and green stuff with the spiked fender of the tank will form your feet.

Attach to a monstrous creature base, pose for dramatics, and kick some space marine butt!

Enjoy!

Apocalypse was just announced today on Games Workshop's website and what awesome timing!

Everything unraveling on is on hold while I start a new project, Craftworld Iyanden!

Currently I'm working on three Wraithknights, three Wave Serpents, three Hemlock Wraithfighters, three Crimson Hunters, six War Walkers, two Fire Prisms, three Heavy Support Batteries. There will be troops too.

Photos to come on the progress soon!

Blade Dancer Test model.

So the first test model for the Slaaneshi Blade Dancers was awesome, instead of using guns, I think one arm will hold a blade while the other has a Daemonette claw, that should make the model fit a lot better!

Stay Tuned, Realm of Battle Game Board tutorial coming soon!

Ever since the allied chart for 6th edition came out I've been stuck with the dilemma of what army I want to use as an allied army.
Necrons just don't feel right, Tau is just too goody goody, Dark Eldar have amazing models but sadly are desprate allies, and the Daemons have a great new book but the look just isn't right, plus every Iron Warrior book I've read have very few Daemon incursions taking place.
However, thanks to the Blanchitsu article in the May issue of White Dwarf, and the Iron Warriors omnibus, I've found the inspiration I've needed to start an allied force.

Combining Dark Eldar Wyches with Daemonettes I will recreate the Slaaneshi Champion Notha Etassay and the Bladedancers using them as Daemonettes from the Daemon Codex.

LET THE BUILDING BEGIN!
