Hi All,
This project took a bit longer than planned. I'm finding my energy is a bit lower with all the stuff going on at work. That being said I have been super excited to work on these models for some time and continue on my journey in the chambers.
When I thought of the Golem's Haunt and it noted a figure being pieced together these guys immediately came to mind. They are called Tide Haunter Walkers and are made by the 3d modeller the indignentshrew Here is a link https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4555520
Now I will be adding these to my growing 40k chaos army. I have a bunch of Death Guard models and most players I've seen will be using their ruleset with them. I prefer another internet fellow who has called these figures the "Depth Guard." Much catchier and fits in well with what I have.
As you can see these models are covered in various sea life. Sponges, coral, barnacles, star fish, and some sea worms. It helps bring a huge variety of colours on to the model. I decided the main colour was going to be a dark turquoise which really screamed under water to me, and allowed the other colours to really pop. One of my former hobbies was aquariums. I had 5 set up and running at once several years ago, including a small reef aquarium with a few corals and some clown fish. But when I moved to Regina I sold them all off and have never found the time or space to get going again. It was fun when painting these to combine the two hobbies and start identifying some of the sea life.
Those Tide Walkers are very cool! I like the colours and the base details.
ReplyDeleteThanks I found those two bases online and they work perfectly for the theme. I also managed to use bits of them to kitbash the bases I plan on using for other "Depth Gaurd" figures.
DeleteExcellent looking constructs and I totally relate to figures taking longer than I planned!

Oh yah, I was chipping away at them daily for a week but progress just seemed to take forever. Maybe my initial enthusiasm didn't help with that.
DeleteI’m in a similar situation with looong completion time Jeremy. These are excellent deep sea diver monsters. Love the sea life!
ReplyDeleteWow Jeremy...those "Depth Guard" figures are really quite entertaining and unique, haven't really seen anything like that around before. Always something interesting the Challenge - well done!
ReplyDeleteSuper strange figs, look pretty cool 😎
