Laurentimort - Daemon Prince of Laurentix (Part 6)

Just a quick update.

Head has magnet, neck has ball bearing ball ... allowing different heads and orientation.

Work started on Falxfoenaria and contemplation of left arm ...

Laurentimort - Daemon Prince of Laurentix (Part 5)

A little more bulking-up and first fit of wing armature to new shape ...

Laurentimort - Daemon Prince of Laurentix (Part 4)

Bulking up with Milliput ...

Laurentimort - Daemon Prince of Laurentix (Part 3)

Armature completed and work on detailing now begins ...

Just three, rough, images ... for Thor's thread

Observation: Where are the DIY Marine Chapters?

Test pieces, no highlights.

Laurentimort - Daemon Prince of Laurentix (Part 2)

Now that my Chaos Daemon Prince kit has arrived, having selected the bits for the 'standard build', I can use the other bits for my Laurentimort project.

So, here he was before I had the kit ...

Because of the bit options, which remained, the original idea of his right hand holding a severed head and his left, the scythe, had to be swapped.

Here is the 'armature', now, with the modifications which were required ...

It was necessary to do some substantial digging-out of the kit's breast, so as to get the fit I wanted (two small bits of build damage are temporarily-filled, for now) and the upper torso needed twisting, because of the kit's slight 'twist' at the abdomen ...

Attaching the breast and some filling, next. I expect the legs will need some 'extension' work, but that can wait until the torso is 'done'.

Oh, and we will have no untoward Slaaneshesque comments, thank you (unless you are really funny) ;)

None Hold Fear for Us,

When the Abomination to Our Mighty Emperor Sleeps,

And it is At That Time,

When We Best Do Our Work." 

Lord Ensiro Condrake, Primaris Lexicanum of the Dream Reapers

"Speak Not to Me of Men's Noble Dreams.
I Have Witnessed Such Blasphemy, in the Slumbering Minds of Self-Appointed Righteous Men,
And I Can Truly Say, That the Foulest Gods of Chaos Have Little More to Offer,
When Deceit and Sin Are The Only Measure of These Men's Fantasies."

In somniis tantum lebertate gaudere possumus

Only in Dreams, Can Freedom Be Enjoyed.

The Dream Reapers (Somniorum Messores) originated from a noble detachment of Ultramarines, which accompanied an Imperial Guard division. They, in turn, were protecting settlers and miners terraforming Laurentix, long before the Eye of Terror era.

 

Throughout the millennia, many ‘changes’ occurred on the desolate, geologically-tumultuous mining planet, which was Laurentix. The Dream Reapers secured a sub-Laurentixien monastery. The Imperial Guard developed into the Laurentix Planetary Defence Force (LPDF), housed, predominantly, in grav-assisted habdomes, overlying massive sub-Laurentixian complexes.

The rest is history ...

"The inevitable sense of doom pervaded the worlds of the Belis Corona system, despite the Commissars’ and military commanders’ best attempts at maintaining the people’s sagging morale. Laurentix was seized by riots in virtually all of its scattered mining settlements, and soon contact was lost with the world."

"Faced with both the pustulant forces of the Death Guard, and the voracious hordes of Tyranids who were, unlike the human defenders, immune to the Plague God's blessings, the forces of the Imperium were hard pressed to defend the vital worlds of the sector. It was first the intervention of Eldar of the Ulthwe Craftworld and then the orbital bombardment of Laurentix that allowed the forces of the Imperium to fight back, despite the disastrous ambush of forward elements of Battlefleet Solar at the Bairsten Prime jump point."

Thus was the origin of the Laurentixian inhabitants ... and was their sorry fate.
