Primeval Abyssian : Last of the Iselborn

I've found a great use for abandoned sculpts that I didn't think were good enough to turn into full factions, so instead I am going to paint these models up as dioramas. This way I think it might help to give more context to the creatures, especially seeing them in more action poses all painted up. This one is nearly done bar the base.

"As the purple skinned Iselborn raised it's pincer shard for one last attack on the Gioneff, the two creatures looked at each other realising they were both the last of each others species. They had made war over an ancient Adrifell device that had unlimited energy - but the terrible price they had paid was that neither would see the devices function for they both knew it had lead to nothing but death."

Primeval Abyssian - Previews of new sculpts coming in the near future + Dioramas!

While I've been quiet to post stuff lately - I have not been idle! I have been working on more master sculpts for more of the factions and have several works in progress which I hope to show something of soon!

I have also started to build some dioramas. These will be made using abandoned sculpts that I think are cool but don't inspire me to create a model range from. It's early days, but I think this might turn into something cool. I need to touch up the sculpts and decorate the base, but otherwise it will be ready for painting near the end of the week. I am hoping these dioramas will help to convey the world of Primeval Abyssian and it's unique style

Primeval Abyssian - Finished Quartoulian master-model

With this miniature completed, 7 of the 15 factions are now have some representation in model form.

Primeval Abyssian - Quartoulian master model (Work in progress)

I've been working on a Quartoulian master model the past week. Heres what I got so far. It still needs an arm attached to it holding a weapon, but is otherwise done.

The mysterious and fearful Quartoulians originate from the nightmarish Shadow Vault - they are a race able to manipulate and alter mass to such a degree they have learnt to create variable mass based weaponry and technology.

The Quartoulians are the remnants of a living reflection of a universe simulation discarded aeons ago by the Adrifell. The Adrifell did not expect their universe simulation to have a reflective shadow to it, but somehow once the simulation was disabled - the reflective shadow of it still remained and evolved. The Adrifell then sought out and destroyed every shard of it's data-existence - but something somehow survived.

The survivors became the Quartoulians which somehow managed to hide themselves in the dark nebulas. Once the Adrifell vanished from the Etherium - the Quartoulians built up an empire and became one of the major factions of the Etherium using the Shadow Vault worlds as their base to launch crusades to collect as much energy and power to keep themselves alive.

Quartoulian shadow-matter, the material they are made from needs a lot of energy to sustain itself, so the Quartoulians have become a desperate faction - constantly striving to continue to exist in a universe that was never made for them.

The Shadow Vault itself is the last remaining fragment of the reflective shadow generated by the long destroyed Universe Simulation. It is however slowly decaying every few years, increasing the desperation the Quartoulians feel. For them, survival is a struggle and everything they do is to survive their own personal apocalypse.

Announcing a short film.

With any luck, you will see something film-related from me next year. Things are afoot and mysterious creatures call from beyond. It is NOT set in the Primeval Abyssian universe (allthough something for that will hopefully come in the future) - It is (ironically) set outside the universe itself (;) in a black void and will deal with alien Houses that exist there.

Happy Halloween!!! Meet The Lamperium.

This is the costume I made for halloween. The fleshy part of it was made from expanding foam, painted in a flesh colour. I hollowed some of the areas and sprayed them black to make the mouth and wounds. The teeth are are made form green-stuff painted white. The blood is Games Workshop's "Blood for the blood god" paint - I used two entire pots of it, but I think it was worth it.

Dimension Tomb

It's been a long time since an update, sorry things have are so slow at times. I have mostly been busy with producing music (If you didn't get it, please consider buying it to support me : https://ionplasmaincineration.bandcamp.com/album/outer-reality-engine-extended-edition )

Anyhow, I have been considering creating a small/simple board-game, something along the lines of Heroquest and Space Crusade, but set in the Primeval Abyssian universe. The reason is that this tabletop wargame is such a lot of work and will likely take at least another year or two before it is ready, so I am considering the idea of putting out something self-contained and smaller in the mean time.

Dimension Tomb is the basic idea I've come up with. It involves playing either a Tolathian or Luuran Dimensionaut which as the name implies, explores other dimensions. In this case, the dimension they are exploring happens to be the Master of Unlife's very own Necroverse. So you will be exploring extra-dimensional tombs in another universe and hunting for treasure while evading Necroverse Sentries.

I have already started sculpting the gaming pieces, and so far it looks like you will have 2 Dimensionauts (1 Tolathian and 1 luuran) along with 4 Masters of Unlife Crypt Sentries, a moulded plastic gaming board, dice ect - the contents will likely change but this is what I plan on so far. I will post photos once there is enough work to show for it.

Would you be interested in buying a small game like this? It will likely be quite cheap and simple to play.

Primeval Abyssian : Updated Tolathian sculpts (WIP)

Due to the delays in getting the Master recasts needed to progress with the Cascadian and Masters of Unlife miniature ranges, I've started to go back and update older sculpts. I've started with the Tolathians of course :

Ion Plasma Incineration - "Outer Reality Engine"

My 2nd IPI album was released on sunday, if you enjoy good hardcore and atmospheric Electro-Industrial music this might appeal to you. It has a very hard SF feel and inspired by Olaf Stapledon, Robert L Forward and Stephen Baxters and includes a storyline you can follow as you listen to the music.

Primeval Abyssian : Calixyren jetbike WIP

This thing is nearly done, but is currently lacking it's engine and some minor details here and there.
