for what it's worth, my vote also goes to chaos.

Could someone make a list of the chaos war/daemon engines that need doing? This would be an area i might dabble in over the summer.

Also for things like obliterators/nids has the “CAD crowdâ€Â

Ok...I'd say that there seem to be two distinct camps; pickup the tau and finsih chaos.
Origninally i was concentrating more on the idea of infantry  figures before moving on to anything bigger such as Deamon Engines however i would also suggest that we DO have some really amazing people working in plasticard for stuff like this and i'd be tempted to leave it to them.  That and re-envisioning Demon engines from scratch isn't something that immediately grabs me or i feel licensed to do!

As has been mentioned i believe that there are tyranid and necron figures out there though i am not sure what their owner's plans for potential production are (if people could PM me with any news on this that would be great...) so, yes, this leaves us with several avenues to explore.

Guard: Nothing required but I am mightily tempted to try my hand at some more detailed Death Korps Troopers
Space Marines: Nothing Required
Orks: Nothing Required
Ferals: Madboyz, Trackers, etc; all the 'specialists' required.  For a time I've envisioned wanting to do a whole set of Feral infantry that look different from bog standard GW orks.
Eldar: Nothing Required:
Dark Eldar: lots requires, this doesn't grab me though.
Chaos: Obliterators and Raptors Required.
Nids: (Covered)
Necrons (covered_
Tau: Potentially everything (Don't think i have the skill to do Tau yet!)

Vraksian Infantry

I would say Chaos too (Obliterators, Raptors, Chaos Dreadnought, Chaos Bikes, Chaos Spawn, reinvisioned Daemon Engines)
Vraksian Renegades and DeathKorps Infantry would be cool But doesn`t Baran Infantry look like DeathKorps?

Space Marines
- Conversion (or whole)Kits for Land Raider Crusader, Redeemer and Prometheus (Helios is very easily made with spare Whirlwind Launchers which should everyone have in abundance who ever has assembled a Hunter).
- Ironclad and Siege Dreadnought (perhabs left/right win Autocannon arms for Mortis Dreadnought too?)
- Thunderfire Cannons and Tarantulas

Imperial Guard
- proper scaled Leviathan

Tyranids and Necrons
- practically all

For Tarantulas check out the EW AP Guns.

We also have a plethora of turrets ripe for conversion opportunities.

Vulcanized moulds are made at very high temeratures and pressure meaning that using plastic or resin bits in your model is a big nono. The model needs to be made entirely from hard metals such as bronze or brass, and miliput or greenstuff in order to survive the process.
One option that Otterman has been exploring is to make regular resin moulds  from silicon and then pressing greenstuff into those. These greenstuff masters can then be vulcanized to produce metal moulds. Some details can become a bit wobbly though so I'm not sure how feasible this process is for infantry models.
I don't know if other low temperature casing materials exist that can be used in vulcanized moulds later.

As for the Silicon molds you can get rtv silicon that will take high temperature when cured but that silicon is expensive. There is a plus side though, the silicon molds last twice as long as the traditional molds.
When i was at GW HQ last time on a factory tour (about 5 years or more) they were trying out silicon instead of the traditional molds dont know if they have switched or not.
But that's an option.

The RTV silicon is still not suitable for spin casting, which is the option you'll want to look into for anything but a handfull of copies for personal use. That said, it is possible that rtv silicon might allow you to cast in a metal that can be used for vulcanization. I'm not sure what the max temperatures for RTV silicon are.

This Interests me; coupled with the DeathKorps it might make a good starting place to learn from.  What if i were to put together something along those lines?

Indeed, it's a copywrite issue.

Some countries' copywrite laws do allow 'backup copies' to be created, but not the UK or US AFAIK.


Vraksian Renegades & Death Korps are generic looking enough that you could get a company to replicate some for you, however.
