The Inscrutable Sikh Empire (Danish VSF Department, Fyn Chapter)

[Westfalia Chris]

Yay and huzzah for Chaugnar Faughn. Always liked that one very, very much. Where did you get that tripus seat? It´s a frighteningly effective model, I´d say!

[Dr. The Viking]

I don't know what to add to the above, except we gotta make a really nice photorep sometime in the new year!

Here is a small update on the ruler of the sikh empire: the daemonic sultan Malakh Singh.

Possibly the most bizarre figure I've ever seen. Also one of the most imaginative.

Gorgeous in a disgustingly Cthulhic way. I work with a lot of Punjabis and I can't imagine what they'd make of your collection 

I can't wait to see the Sultan finished!

[Mr. Cigarface]

@Chris: The skullplatform came with Chauga Faugn. The rest are legs from GW bloodletters and a glassbead in between as the unobtainium orb.

I´m glad that he scares you 

[Mr. Cigarface]

Possibly the most bizarre figure I've ever seen. Also one of the most imaginative.

Thanks a lot, mate! I´ll take that as a compliment 

And please try not to aggravate your punjabi friends too much with this. We´re still having a bad rep in big parts of the world here in Denmark because of the Muhammed cartoon controversy from 2005. We definetely don´t need no Sikh Crisis as well 

[Mr. Cigarface]

I promised Ironcladman to make a  minitutorial on the lightning effect on the steam tank, so here it is.

The effect is deceptively easy to make. Really!
Its basically just some pieces of steel wire,


one of which has been bend in the middle to create a softer end.


They have then been bend into shape quite randomly and stuck together with super glue. (Here I´ve been lazy and bluetacked them together instead)


Finally they´ve had globs of PVA glue strategically placed to represent the spots where the rays come together and create super heated plasma or whatever it is unobtainium lightning rays create when they come together.

After priming and painting: voila! You´ve got yourself a fancy lightning effect!





I haven´t done any more work on the sultan yet. Malakh, however, got some new reinforcements from Ramshackle today, so the future DOES look bright – err, I mean gloomy – for the glorious sikh empire.




Over & out!

[Gluteus Maximus]

Thanks a lot, mate! I´ll take that as a compliment 

  - it was certainly intended as one!

And please try not to aggravate your punjabi friends too much with this. We´re still having a bad rep in big parts of the world here in Denmark because of the Muhammed cartoon controversy from 2005. We definetely don´t need no Sikh Crisis as well 

Don't worry, they are pretty laid-back and certainly not religious extremists. Some of them do have very big swords, though, so best be careful

[Dr. The Viking]

Uuuh! I foresee a lot of rays coming out of my different vehicles soon!

I really like the ramshacklemini you're doing. Any ideas for what it is??? It looks like one of the turberculosis beaks they wore in the 19th century.

[Chairface]

Love the Mr. Snickety conversion! Inspired!

[Mr. Cigarface]

Damdadamdadam... Time flies by when you´re having fun - or flu which is what I´ve been spending my last couple of weeks fighting with. First my kids and girlfriend got it, and last week it was my turn 


Whining aside, here is a couple of pics from todays hobbying...


First is the sultan himself. I´m not that happy about the result - especially the attempt of making visible unobtainium-filled veins didn´t go quite as planned. He´s still not done, but at least he sports a somewhat more interesting tan now.






Doctor Death-by-deadly-sharp-and-nasty-Fingers was done in the same colours as the royal guard. Simple and fast.




And last but definately not least we have the Tunnelmobile of the Freemasons´ secret chapter on paranormal studies. It was pretty fun to paint the occult imagery. It is one of my first attempts on freehand, but I´m quite pleased with the way it turned out.

[Dr. The Viking]

I'm so happy you live in my country!!! 

[Bullshott]

Excellent work. I like the painted symbols on the Tunnelmobile.

[oldskoolrebel]

Very different looks fun 

I love the plasma shot  . And the occult/free masonry iconography 

in fact I love Doctor Death-by-deadly-sharp-and-nasty-Fingers pretty creepy, strangely reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands 

Cheers
