Harlequin Carnival - La Danse Macabre

I agree, the converting part is the best part for me too, i hate painting :p

i love ur queen of hearts, she is crazy ! good use of the Banshee

i've start the painting process myself too,
i pray for the ultimate motivation, be the muses have mercy and give us fast and good painting :p

Thanks Sangarn. Look forward to seeing some of your stuff painted up. I shall send you some slaves so their screams of pain may lend your paintbrush wings .

Crap. Look what i just done. How do i go about permanently fixing that fiddly bit and not have it break again? Any ideas?

Oh dear, Would replacing the hand be an option? would require a repaint though...

Yes i think that could be an option but would put me back a bit on the paint job and prob damage what i have already done. I might try pinning it and then repairing it with green stuff. Not sure pinning something so small and fiddly is possible though.........

I would replace the entire hand and pin it at the wrist.

I'd seen some of these a while back, but first time I'd seen them painted. Fantastic work, both conversions and painting. Too bad (for me) that you green stuffed most of the masks - I've been trying to find something like that.

Inspired use of lions in your beastpack too - but why aren't they on 40mm bases?

@ evil space elves. Yes i think it is looking like my only feasable option to replace the hand (sob)

@Ben s. thanks for the compliments. The masks are actually made from the sanguinary guard helmets. I press moulded a bunch using a type of plastic that you heat up in boiling water and then push your bit into to create a mould ( i think the stuff is called instant mold) it is very useful for casting little bits and bobs like masks, purity seals ect. Oops The lions are not on 40 mm bases because in my mind i thought the kymerae were on bike bases and did not check the pics. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I will change them over to the right ones

Phew! Another finished. Behold my hekatrix with venom blade and haywire grenade

Really nice, kind of a "phantom of the opera" effect ^^

Wow! Very nice! I want some Harli(s) now...

The final two finished. I AM A MACHINE!..............er maybe not. I am happy these are done now. Completing this squad has taken a significant amount of time and energy. Probably the most time i have ever spent on a single squad in my life. Worth it though. I think I will do a bit of converting now. Feeling a bit burnt out on the painting front. Got a cool idea for a talos that I want to try out next

Completed squad photo. I think the scheme works well enough so they are not looking too much like a bunch of random models but have lots of individual character. What do you all think? Does/will it work as a squad/army scheme?

Congratz for the full squad painted !
Looks great and totaly crazy !
The one with the pink horror masq is my favorite
your work remember me the old carnival od chaos stuff

well, you lack of zombie bodypart :p

Cant wait to see the talos. Keep up the good work !

(BTW you have to check this Plog http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?372987-carnival-of-chaos its an other kind of crazyness but not far from yours :p)

Cool link, Sangarn! Cool Quins, Spellchecker! Inspiration abound. Thanks to stuff like this, I am now fully motivated to start work on my Raiders.

Really cool links sangarn. I did not know those mordheim models existed. That nurgle project log is awesome, now bookmarked.Really inspiring stuff. Thanks for pointing me in their direction

Got me a raider to paint as well jack frost. Gonna have to give my new airbrush a try for the basecoat but am nervous as my airbrushing skills are appalling. Still, the idea of painting all that bodywork with a brush sends a shiver down my spine. I hate painting vehicles and the raider is more fiddly than your standard rhino

They look fantastic. A bit difficult to know how it will scale up to a whole army - then there might be more danger of them looking disunified - but if they're all of this quality then I'm sure it will work.

Yes i suppose time will tell. I hope not anyways as that is alot of wasted hours and pennies.. Glad it works so far thanks for all the positive comments and input from all of you. It is really helping me keep motivated to get stuff finished and posted.

Finished my talos. I felt the dark eldar model did not really fit the theme of my army so converted up this fella. He was alot of fun to do. Behold the demented clown!

THAT is awesome.  

Luv it! That is a great idea spellcheck2001, and very nicely carried out.

Cheers guys. Got a neat idea for my cronos which i want to get done soon. Gotta paint this bad boy first though

Hey folks, been doing bits and bobs on this guy when time permitted. Here he is, the plague doctor (haemonculus)

Greetings evil ones. Talos completed. Behold my demented clown.

I freakin love your work!

edit: it is insane
