Corrupticus Sculpt Research

I've been planning on hot to convert Lord Corrupticus Fellwing. As was pointed out by skylermaniac, I should look at making the flaming wings out of the same acrylic plastic that Necron Gauss rods. Well, I've done some research and it does appear possible to be able to fine a similar coloured rods (Called Acrylic Rods) or similar style acrylic, melt it enough to fit and shape into a preset mold. Of cause, the catch is it's extremely difficult and dangerous for someone with no experience (A.K.A - Me). However, there is still time to look into this option as I haven't purchased the dark pegasus yet. If I find it's still too much trouble, I'll use green stuff as a back up.

Twinkle Part 1

As before, I mentioned Twinkle. Who is Twinkle? Twinkle is the name of a Daemonic Mount, ridden by Xzark Soulsplitter, a Chaos Lord of Tzeentch. Before you start, if Terry Pratchett's Death can call his horse 'Binky' I don't see why I can't call Xzark's mount 'Twinkle'. Besides, Xzark started off more as a comical character and while now his become far more serious, it seems fair to keep some level of comedy to the character.
This is where I'm at so far. I've only attached most of his parts, with some toes and wings still to go. The head is attached through an armature and I'll begin sculpting fur and feathers on before attaching the wings. Note that a Daemonic Mount can't fly, which is why one wing is feathers and big and the bat wing is a little smaller and off angle. This means the creature is tormented with wings that could only really help slow a fall and not much else (unless wing slap counts as an attack). I also plan to sculpt some scales, though I'm still not sure if I'll sculpt eye's on it yet (I say 'it', because being a beast of change you can never tell when it's male or female).

Bazza da Spawn

Tzeentch only knows why I decided to call my planned Great Chaos Spawn 'Bazza' but I have the usual monster base (one from an High Elf Dragon off Ebay, so it should be a good size) and have some Fimo air dry clay (which claims it's similar to china dry finish). Once I finish designing the base, I'll begin sculpting the shape with the Fimo clay, then detail it with green stuff. The plan is to have two large arms and a massive mouth, lots of eyes, maws and tentacles too, similar to the Fulcrum I did.

My Empire project goes well for Armies on Parade with the arrival of a unit of Pistoliers, Archers/Huntsmen and Handgunners <shudders at the thought of doing another unit of them>.

Star Wars Fandom Anyone?

No real explanation needed. Just enjoy.

Stupid but Funny 1

Most YTP (YouTube Poop) aren't really funny and more irritating, but then there are times you find some that make you laugh. I find this one was rather enjoyable.

Wee Beasties

So while I'm working on the current projects, I'll also be working on a few side ones. Now, putting aside Lord Corrupticus Fellwing and Twinkle (I'll share more on who, or rather what, that is soon) I want to start working on some monsters. There are a few idea's like a Storm Dragon and a Giant Spawn of Tzeentch, but there are a few other creature's from my stories I'd like to create like Nightmare Fiends, various Trolls, etc. My only problem, which one to start first?
