Thx for the feed back guys.
I've had a busy month so far and wasn't able to get much done(that and I'm out of GS). But I have gotten some work done on the bolt throwers.
All I need to do is get something for cables, and a few more things and then all I need to do is get the crew and then I can move on to other stuff.
@AGPO: Thx, and you go right ahead and use it.
@al-hashut: Thx, and I know they are but thats kind of my fault. I have problems linning things up properly.
@Kera foehunter: Thx.
Today I did a little shopping for things that I thought I could use for chaos dwarf and came back with only one thing. This guy. It's gonna be used as a Great Taurus.
Now I know some of you might be asking me what about scratch building one. Well thats true I was........, But this looks really cool. Any way I plan on adding wings and horns to it to fit the part more. And I kinda have it's rider started but I'm waiting to grab a box of dwarf warriors and more GS to finish him up. ANd just because I felt like it a size comperison to a Teutogen Guard I just finished.
Exactly! Although I still need wings and horns for it.
@ Kera foehunter: Yes it will. Yes it will.
Well I guess it's time for another update.
Here are all the Bullcentaurs that have upper boddies.
I'd have more done on them but I ran out of GS.
These BC have a new bum protecter i'm trying out. And to be honest I kinda like it.
Next is my Great Taurus and his Chaos Dwarf Lord master.
The only thing I need for my Chaos Dwarf Lord is a body and to make a seat for him on the Great Taurus so all will be well and good. The Great Taurus will need wings(I was thinking Bloodthirster) and horns(again Bloodthirster) and add a few more head tropheys and he should be good.
Thx Kera.
Now I think is a good time for an update because I have something I really needed, Green Stuff. So here we go.
First up is my work on the Chaos Dwarf lord and his Great Taurus.
Very happy with this guy so far. I'll be working on the legs over the next day or two so he doesn't look fused with his saddle so much. After that probably some banners and more head trophys until I can find some good Bloodthirster wings and some horns.
Next up is are my BC command group.
I wanted the unit champ. to stand out from the unit so I decided to make his mask look like the way it is. The mustaches on the other two look OK I think but I might redo them.
Last are my two Hobgoblin Boltthrowers.
I finally found something for cables for them and call these two things finished. Now I just need to make the crews.
Q&C are welcome.
@wizuriel: Thx.
@furrie: Thx. I know what you mean. I'm pretty sure it'll turn out ok, but I deffintely need to do more work.
@ Kera Foehunter: Thx for the kind words.
@ Hashut's Blessing: All of this sounds like good advice. I will defintely try the idea for the staches and will probably use them on my other chaos dwarfs if I ever want to have any without helmets vovering their faces. I unfotunatly don't have any beastmen legs as I recieved these two beastmen heads and some arms by trading with a buddy on another forum. I'll send you a PM about the arms in a bit. The back plates deffinetly need more work. The Bloodthirster wings I need to get will be covered with brown stuff to look like armour platting, but the advice you give is very much appreitiated. Thx.
Thx, I just might take you up on that offer.
Well here is the skinny Merchant.
The wings I need are Bloodthirster wings. The basic BC is a Grudge Pony with all the stuff filled off and the head cut off. The upper body is the front side of a dwarf with the head cut off and replaced with a Gor heads. And make sure that the horns you get point forward.
Anyway here's a little more work that i've done on the BC Lord on Great Tourus.
I think that my GS skills are getting better(I think). Still need some bitz to finish it off. I hope to get them soon.
Thats all for now. Be back soon.
I think it's time for an update.
First I finished the CD lord on Great Taurus.
It's really a nice suprise that he turned out
. All I need is wings for it and it is done.
I've also started a lord on foot for times I don't want to use a great taurus.
I got the idea for a helmet from sharkboy but I think I need to redo the helmet on him. Any suggestions for him?
Thx. Well I'm actually gonna try something else for the helmet but might be a bit though for me to pull of. As for the wings I had someone who was gonna give me some but he hasn't conntacted me sence I said I lived in the US. I also might have some body giving me me a good pair of either bloodthirster or balrog wings depending on what he finds first but other wise I have no wings yet.
Yesterday I bought the BFSP box set and started working on converting them into chaos dwarf units and today i'm happy to show some of the fruits of my labor and really sour fingers.
First up, and favorite so far, my lore of metal chaos dwarf sorccerer.
I'm so pleased with him
. I did a little scetching long before hand to see how I wanted my chaos dwarfs to look, and i'm rather glade I did.
Next is a lore of fire sorccerer.
He looks good so far, all I have to do now is sculpt flames and cover up one last chainmail area and i'm done with him.
I also have some chaos dwarf warriors i've been working on.
I have a lok more work to do on these guys, and a lot more stuff to buy for them. The heads I plan to use for the warriors will be a mix of chaos warrior and chaos space marines helmets along with some skull looking chaos shoulder pads. I have to buy some chaos maraduer arms so I can finish them and all will be good.
So questions, comments, and critisizem are welcome.
Sorry obsidian I can't get picks of the cloack, my camera doesn't like me when I do that. I sculpted the cloack very easily. First you have a basic shape of how you want the cloack to look. Then when it's dry you begin laying out a farily thin layer of GS all over the cloack and proceed to taking a sculpting tool(I used the one GW makes) and make small trokes all going down the cloack. But please know it takes practice and some trial and error to get it right. Hope that helps.
@Obsidian: Well look at it this way. When I was just learning how to use GS I couldn't do squat. But with practice I can now sculpt fur, scale mail, beards, and hair. So don't worry, in time you'll get it.
@wizuriel: Thx.
I have one last post for today. I got my metal sorcerrer based and got some paint on it.
What else can I say about it except that I think it's awsome.
@ Obsidian: I see. Well I hope youre able to sculpt fur.
@ Hashut's Blessing: Thx, though I don't see the were you got the camera. I do plan on sculpting flames on both his head, orb, and a random part ar two of his beard when I get around to it.
@ Kera foehunter: Thx, but their one tiny problem. I didn't paint up the horns yet. I'm trying to think of how I want the horns to be painted.
@ wallcer: Terminator you say. I can see the. Thx
Right it's time for an update.
First up is my Fire sorcerrer.
More flames to come, though I must say I don't think I did a bad job for my second attempt at sculpting flames.
Next up is the start of my BSB.
He's not of to a bad start, but I don't have a lot of the bitz I need at the moment. But until I get those bitz I have some more sculpting to do on his beard.
Last up is the start to my death rocket.
I have a basic idea on how I want it to look but I have no idea customize it.
Questions, comments, and critasizem is more then welcome.
@al-hashut: Thx man. I might add a little mor highlight but it might be that my highlight paint might be a wee bit to watery.
@Hashut's Blessing: Thx. My plan for the BSB is to sculpt the helmet to fit a special idea I saw a while back. And thx for the advice for the rocket though it wasn't my intention to make a V2 rocket.
@Kera foehunter: Thx, and I was thinking of having the horns be a little darker than white like dark brown or something like that.
@Sharkboy: Thx. Thats how I plan to paint all my chaos dwarfs.
@zorn sabretooth: It's definetly still a very big posibility but if I do I'm going to add some extreme highlighting to them.
Now it's time for another update.
First guy up is my Pyromancer.
I think I'm getting the hang of sculpting fire. With the flames done all I have to do now is his beard and some more flames and he's radey to paint.
Next up is my death rocket and one of it's crew men.
They both need more work done on them. I have more work to do on the shaft for the rocket and add. The crew man needs a little more work as well expecially for his beard.
Last guy up is my test hobgablin.
I plan to add feet and scale mail like my chaos dwarfs have and the little hat they were.
So any questions, comments, and critasizem?
@Hashut's Blessing:Thx, well I have to finish up my test hobgoblin first. Then convert the other 59 night goblins in similar fasion. Then hunt down some more helmets and get some chaos marauder arms for the chaos dwarfs with sheilds. And of course get a cr*p load more of GS and find wings for my great taurus. I got plenty more to do.
@Kera foehunter: Thx, all I plan to do is cover the moon symbole.
@ Hashut's Blessing: A, I see. Well I plan to get rid of the celtic symbols naturaly, and add a back support to the barrel. I also mean to find me the right chaos marauder standard for for the front. That won't be hard as I plan to buy some marauders and make them into flaggelants. I've added some supports to the barrel and more GS but I need a little more before it's finished. Then after that I can glue on the rocket. Then for the final touch a base for the machine.
@wallacer: Yes I am infact. I didn't think they'd turn out so well for my second and third tries.
@ Kera foehunter: Thx. The lava bases idea came from a places(one of them being here).
@ snyggejygge: Nice to know you like my wizards man.
@ superfella: Thx.
Well basicly the main idea for sculpting flames is to kinda get what you think a good basic flame shap should look like. Then from their sculpt the bottom so that it looks as if it's burning from that ever you have it on top of. It takes some practice to get right so don't get dicouraged. Working with GS takes some work to get right.
Anyway just thought i'd give a small update.
I've been painting one last chaos dwarf warrior for this months 200 points. Here he is.
