It's been a while...

From out of the eldritch vortex comes these new puppets I've been working on. I  may of been silent here but i have been busy summoning these new abominations into existence! They are for a film project I am hoping to do.

Primeval Abyssian : Diorama 2

I finished this new diorama using two abandoned sculpts. It depicts the last two members of alien races (Oraawqae and Yukesae) fighting on the dreaded worm-shores of Faelharn.

An unamed Xenos race that I am not happy with - it may end up as part of a future diorama

Primeval Abyssian : The Uloardiom Combine

- The Uloardiom Combine -

Overview

The Uloardiom Combine are a civilization that have perfected the art of Quantum Splitting of the Particles and Properties and combining different particles with different properties to create unnatural forms, and thus aiming to create perfect bodies for themselves. The Uloardiom have also managed to create advanced data storage by layering multiple properties onto single atoms, thus allowing each particle to have multiple states.

The Uloardiom homeworld Ulorthorix, is hidden in a string of layered physics known as the Great Deceit. Due to the way the layers have been produced - the physical laws are protecting, hiding and deflecting each other in specific and complex ways that create a maze of quantum side-effects.

Uloardioms use the ability of splitting properties from particles to create powerful and destructive weapons based on the concept of layering. They purposely find quantum effects that produce the most destructive effects and then layer them onto each other in various combinations to create even more chaotic weaponry. The side-effects of these weapons however can cause micro tears in reality that can even destroy their own weapons and even themselves - making them one of the most dangerous and unstable factions in the entire Etherium.

The most feared uloardiom weapon is the Pulse Trap, a device that holds different physical properties in seperate cells then releases them to create a quantum chain reaction that encapsulates the enemy in a damaged shard of reality that destroys their bodies on the quantum level.

Due to the dangerous and reckless attitude of the Uloardiom, their Combine empire is relatively small and secluded - however now various forces from outside the Ether have reached their hands into this reality the Uloardiom combine worlds have taken notice and wish to unleash their dangerous experimental weaponry on any that dare go near them.

The Uloardiom Combine are also a culture that is obsessed with perfection, which has lead to various classes, each based on the percentage rating of perfection that is awarded to them by the High Commanders of the Fifteen Colonies. Uloardioms even experiment by quantum splitting their own bodies and minds and trying to remake themselves into better forms to impress their High Commanders and move further up the percentage scale.

History

The Uloardiom were once like any other Abyssian species - until archeologists working in the Ruins of the Adrifell civilization came across a desolate wind swept and forgotten world and uncovered an ancient relic, known as a Quantum Splitter machine. The Archaeologists took the Quantum Splitter back to Ulorthorix and news of the machine spread like wildfire. Within weeks, Uloardiom ships flew out to the world the Splitter was discovered and thousands of archaeologal digs were opened to try to uncover more. 

The digs revealed that there were indeed hundreds of the Quantum Splitter machines out there under the grey particle sands, stashed in enourmous chambers that were easily able to be broken into. It took many ears for the machines to be shipped back to Ulorthorix - and many years were spent learning about the machines and what they could be used for.

The Uloardiom became obsessed with the quantum splitters - almost like the machines themselves gave off an aura of alurring possibilities and control. Uloardioms began experimenting even on their own bodies - splitting the properties and particles and layering new ones onto themselves to make themselves stronger. The idea of perfection spread throughout the entire civilization and within a few  years they became obsessed with perfecting themselves above all over purpose.

Primeval Abyssian : More race master models for future factions

On the left side we have the race master model for the Iaethlein - a race of energy beings that inhabit hard-holographic armoured shells.

On the right side, we have the Halaedion - physical avatars of a vast cosmic magnetic pull, so complex in it's form it developed it's own intelligence.

Primeval Abyssian : Cascadian and Masters of Unlife metal masters!

Thanks very much to Ed Fortae of Troll Forged miniatures - I got some of the metal masters I need to get going on these two factions.

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.
