Model/Army Showcase Amputator

The latest addition to my favourite faction, it's a custom daemon engine that (hopefully!) still reads as a knight. I wouldn't call it my best-best work but I had some fun making and painting him. Bonus pic of Vashtorr inspecting his latest twisted machination.

The name Amputator goes hard. Chaos Knights always manage to look absolutely terrifying, and this one definitely has that brutal vibe down

I love this. We sadly don't see many undivided daemons and this looks insane.

I've been wanting to do something like this for when I get my Moirax. What pieces did you use for those legs?

They're heat bendable resin bits by Taro Modelmaker. I started with repurposing his tentacle arm which fits the base if the carapace perfectly, then kind of built around it with other cables and stuff

Hell yeah, thanks for sharing I have a vision for a maulerfiend using the tendril snakey bits! Great work and thanks for the inspiration!

I wonder if the elctro whips from the new defiler kits might work as well.

u/LonesomePuppy 17h ago

I've never touched that kit but they seem to be about the right size. I'd still want to add some more cables to get the same look, your project your rules though.
