Raiders of the Lost Ark

I keep on stealing names, you see. Can't blame but my lack of originality. This is an old project I made some time ago for a friend. He got GW's 'Tomb Kings Casket of Souls' and asked me for something... different, more 40K oriented. You'll see...

I begun this way:

 

You can easily tell this is GW beacuse of the number of skulls per square inch

 

But I wasn't satisfied at all. My pal wanted the Ark itself:

 

Pic inserted here for research purposes

Sooo....

 

Ohhh, shiny!

Not-Ark of the Covenant

 

Then some guys in blue. A Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons:

 

Slightly converted for my purposes

And two bodyguards:

 

The one on the left is an exact replica of the one you saw last day, hehe

 

So it begun to look this way:

 

Just WIP. Keep calm and keep on working

The poor sorcerer got confused spelling so many 'h', 'tz' and other strange sounds; it was just a matter of time that he didn't invoke Tzeentch... but Cthulhu! :D

 

Ftangh!

The general overview:

 

Well, yes, we have to learn a lot of Spells at the Sorcerer's School. One can get confused sometimes!

Err... Doesn't matter! Aye pray him anyway! Iä! Iä! Cthulhu Ftangh!

 

Well, my pal's original idea was having Primarch Magnus raising over the altar, escorted by six Astartes Fellowships, two robot Maniples and a cloud of flaming Tutelaries, all surrounded by an ectoplasmatic projection of Tzeentch itself. But the lazy artist alleged some excuses about budget and space, and simply put a winged octopus :D

Hope you like this madness. Let's slowly get back to routine into the new year. More minis soon!
