i think modellers chains or the like would be stronger, more secure and easier to do tbh, compared with gs. I think the more unique you make the model the better the chance it'll have imo, but i've never entered GD before ^^ so meh.

The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of using actual modelling chains. I think I am going to have to go a different way as far as that goes. One suggestion that was made on another forum was the idea of making the stone that the dragon is leaping off of into a chaos shrine of some kind. Been thinking about this idea and I think it is the way to go. Add a ton of skulls, fill in the elf runes on it already and replace with chaos symbols, bolt on actual molded symbols and add an alter perhaps. I think that, together with a bit of gs conversion added to the model itself such as faces on the wings and extra spikes, and the lava look on the exposed skin would really make the model into a definite chaos dragon.

Thoughts folks?

The shrine idea sounds good, but it's hard for me to envision. Personally I think the overall canosaur paint job is a bit too dark. Since it's emulating lava, I would make the skin in between the scales more intense and have it represent the lava itself and then use the scales to represent the black, broken crust. I also like the purple tint in these reference photos.

I decided not to use the current Khorne Lord that I have for a couple of reasons, mainly that A) it isn't painted near to GD standards and won't be without stripping it, and B) using him would have limited me to a Khorne heavy piece in total and I wish to keep the entire thing unfocused on a single god. I used an older Knight as the rider and the fit is actually better than the Klord as well. Thoughts folks?

Chains and chaos iconography, possibly molding armour to certain parts of the model to show where chaos has tainted it. Its hard to comment at this stage as it's kind of the bare bones atm, but i do like the rider. The helmet is cool and i really like the addition of the spikes.

What would you suggest for the armour as far as moulding it Arctica?

Anyone else care to give some ideas, likes and dislikes so far?


One thing I have come up with since I posted this pic is how I am going to do the wings. On the underside at least, possibly the top as well, I am thinking of making skulls/faces out of greenstuff all over the membranes themselves and then painting them in the lava look like the Carnosaur above. I think too that it would be cool if the faces were painted so that there is a very definite chaos star showing by having some of the faces painted brighter than the rest.

dragon - I think you should convert it to get a more chaosy look. Personallyt I don't mind his look as of now, but judges or gw fans might say - hey, it's chaos guy on elven dragon, that's not good!
some additional horns/spikes, a mutation perhaps? Chains seem like a good bet damaged wings membrane (hole, shattered edges) would surely make it look more 'evil'.

rider - I don't like the pose, it doesn't look very natural. Try to make hime lean more backwards, to counter dragon's movement (swooping attack). Raising right arm up and bit back (like preparing to hit somebody) or sword pointing forward in stretched arm (showing dragon his next prey) would IMO make the whole piece more dramatic/cinematic.
Also, I'd imagine this guy with chain held in his left hand (reins to control the dragon).

Just some ideas from me, use them at own discretion

Long time since I updated this thread but I have been doing a bit more work on my juggerlord. Obviously it didn't make it to GD and won't now for a couple of years (thanks GW for screwing over Canada) so I thought I might as well finish it off for use in my tabletop army. Most of the ideas I had for it are still going to happen like the light sourcing and lava effect between the armour plates but for now, here is a look see.

good to see you again, waiting for some more progress now

I remembered seeing this when you first started it WL, just waiting for it to be finished now
