FEMBRUARY CHALLENGE ROUNDUP

 As I agreed to take part in Alex's Fembuary Challenge and have shown a few bits already, I'm showing the completion in one post.


First up is the completion of My Female Pinhead, based off the cosplay I showed in my first post for this, she is armed with a stinger pistol, and a venom blade, a cheap combination points wise, as she also carries a webway portal, to bring my Homunculus Ancient onto the gaming board with it's unit of Grotesques, a very nasty combination.


Also completed the female Cenobite from the first two movies, she is armed with a liquifier gun, and agoniser.



As this has been a bit of a week of distractions ( see my last post) I ended up wanting to create a pet for each of the  Homunculus, so created these three based off creatures seen in the movies, the one on the left is the Chatterer Dog seen in Hellraiser 4 Bloodlines, the centre creature is the torso seen in Hellraiser 5 Inferno, and the creature on the right is the tunnel dweller seen in the first two movies.


Here is the complete line up with pets, to make it nice and easy for Alex.

In gaming terms of 40K the creatures would mean nothing but as I intend using my own rules and lists at home, it's not a problem. To complete this faction of my Dark Eldar army I only have 3 Grotesques left to build and paint, so very happy about that.

That's all for this post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

  1. Excellent work on all these, Dave, and the "pets" are particularly horrific. The Cenobites are great and the Female Pinhead in particular is superb. I need to watch these movies again...

    1. Thank you Matt, enjoyed seeing this idea finally materialise ! LOL Must admit if I wan't to watch a horror movie, these are normally top of the list

  2. Yup, just as terrifying as your other post, more for the definitely not ever going to watch movies list 😂 Though I must say that one photo of the "lady's" looks like a nightmare-ish Aurra Sing 🤷‍♂️

    1. If you don't like horror movies Ivor, I would definitely steer clear of these, may keep you up for weeks, but that would allow for a lot of painting ! LOL

  3. Lovely work on all of them Dave, great bit of sculpting, on the "pets" too, the "Chatterer" dog being particularly impressive.

    Cheers Roger.

    1. Thank you Roger, the dog is probably my favourite out of the bunch, although I did leave off the little plates off his ribs, as in this scale they didn't look right or add anything to the model.

    2. I nearly did put "shame theres no rib plates on the dog" but I thought you might think I was being sarcastic after your warpaint on my horses comment! and you know I don't do sarcasm (LOL)

    3. I would never believe you to be sarcastic mate ! LOL

  4. Whilst the character figures are a bit disturbing, thier familyars are absolutely terrifyingly good !

    Quite a gruesome bunch there Dave, the pets in particular! :-) Very nicely done! Good of Roger to let those of us with a sensitive disposition know he doesn't do sarcasm! ;-)

    1. Thank you Iain, these are probably the most twisted characters in the Dark Eldar list, so sounds like I have achieved my goal.

  7. Yucky and very appropriately so! Only a few things remaining must be a very good feeling too! Will your Deldar be the Space Marine faction's main foe?

    1. Thank you Dai, I now have multiple options to field against my marines, 3 different Dark Eldar forces ( Wyches, Kabbalite, and flesh cult) I will also have 3 Chaos factions to throw at them (marines, demons, and lost and the damned list), plus I have my Kroot force, so should be able to keep things interesting

    2. That 40K list sounds like a whole campaign of your own in the making! Should come up with a story line and maps and so forth! :)

      Delete
    3. Funny you should say that Dai, as I also have a gothic fleet for each, except the Kroot, the rest just need some suitable fighters and bombers

  8. Inspired work, as always, Dave! Lovely creatures. Here's hoping we see Haemonculus Ancient rules again in the new codex... along with the rest of the HQ's :)

    1. Thank you Joe, the creatures are my favourite. No longer worrying about what GW put in or take out as using my own rules and army lists, as not able to go to tournaments anymore.

  9. These look really cool Dave. Nice paint work on them all as well. I keep looking at Studio miniatures Horror offering's but I am finding they come up a bit small these days compared to all my other figures.

  12. Lovely(!?) work on all of these models, Dave. Truly nightmare fuel and completely appropriate for the DE to boot!

    1. Thank you Azazel, the first time I saw GW's models I instantly thought Cenobites, but as these were just for me, no copyrites to worry about ! LOL
