Finally getting back to this project---and unfortunately my old thread is gone...! Oh well....lol. This is the Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Defiler.

It's not complete, I've got about 5 more limbs and the head to do. But it's getting there...

Looking very nice, lots of detail, how much time have you spent on it so far? I agree that some lights and a full picture would be nice, looking forward to seeing it in full. Cheers,

Mat.

I've got maybe 60 man hours in it spread unevenly over the past four months. Like I said, this project was temporarily abandoned while I did something that was time sensitive---so I'm just now getting back to it.

Thanks for the response---any C&C is welcome.

Here's a full shot.

Got a little more done on the Defiler. Built the body of the left arm, which'll hold a sort of flail-type device.

C&C welcome

Added armor panel to flail and linkage to the main body. All that remains is the two front pincers.

Here's some cool pics of the whole. 8-) C&C welcome...

One of the front pincer claws, roughly 30% completed. Lots of detail to add on the final major component of the Defiler before I go about the nightmarish task of texturing it.

C&C encouraged

Danke. 8-)

The lighting on the main, assembled portions of the model really doesn't do it justice. When I texture it, that should really help pop the detail out.
