So...
I got a package delivered today, which turned out to be the custom build Chaos Spawn and Konrad Curze - I keep mixing up the initials - statue by "D", all the way from New Zealand!!!
While initially it was a bummer as I hadn't anticipated the Customs Clearance fee (of course very legitimate), but seeing what I was paying for, I didn't mind all too much...
Drum-roll in the back of my head, while unpacking... Oooh, bubble wraps!! : P
Disclaimer
I am making references to other material, which does not mean I'm comparing... Some stuff just boggles the mind, and I fall back to said comparisons to get the point across.
Adds such flavour to get a personal note like that, especially with one of the spawn being drawn there in the bottom.
And yes, I do hate you for apologizing all the time :P
Spawn
So, the spawn...
Rastafarian
I'm not sure that's intended, but the hair just give me that association. No-one is safe in the grimdark future!!
Nice use of materials on the back, tubing, rust, very alround scary thing to come across on the battlefield!
This screams BIOSHOCK to me, and I love it!
Space Marine Ghost
Great coloring, showing a former Space Marine clinging on to it's previous form, trailed by some of its victims. Lovely, lovely ethereal form!
Blob
The weirdest in the bunch. Lovely details, a bit like a morphed Master Blaster, awesome mini!
Headless Centaur
How does one come up with this!!? Brilliant bash-up, what a fantastic result!!
Cultist-host
My personal favourite, I'm lost for words. The pose on the cultist with the wraiths/ghosts/daemons erupting from his mid-section.... It could've been a hentai had there been a female nearby (Oh, and tentacles of course).
I'm absolutely in love with this one!
I don't watch Hentai btw. To each his own, but not my cup of tea.
Conclusion
I'm blown away. I've had numerous mails with pictures during the process, and each one made me more enthusiastic. The end-result however, greatly exceeded my expectations. I hope this goes for the others as well!! :)
Even though this is somewhat more expensive (YMMV due to exchange-rates, for me it boiled down to roughly the same price as a GW model, excluding shipping and customs duty on imports), I am over the moon that I took this opportunity/decision as now I have some truly unique models!
Downside might be that none of them will get much cover saves, but I'm okay with that.
Happy person signing off...
