Scheming up Screamers

Chaos Daemons, Conversion, Daemons, Screamers
Progress on this project has been fitful and scattered. I'm working on about five different things at once. A.D.D.? Or the inscrutable machinations of Tzeentch?

I suspect it's the latter, for among other things, I've been experimenting with ideas for conversions representing Screamers.

These creatures need to look like "Screamers" -- meaning, like daemonic "sky-sharks" (as the Codex puts it) that move as jetbikes and attack with Warp Jaws (daemonic melta bombs). And then, of course, I want them to look like the rest of the Harrowed, i.e., like elements of an Imperial Guard regiment possessed by chaos.

For awhile a solution eluded me. But I think I'm working my way toward something I like.

Here's a closer look at the prototype I think I like best:

Chaos Daemons, Conversion, Daemons, Screamers

The "warp jaws" look right to me. And I like the swirling, lashing energy in the composition:

Chaos Daemons, Conversion, Daemons, Screamers

I do need to clean the work up a bit. And bulk the models out to "GW-Screamer dimensions....

Chaos Daemons, Conversion, Daemons, Screamers

I also need to do some fiddly greenstuff work to knit the daemonic eyes more organically into the spotlight cases.

But it's getting there.
