Don't look too nooby to me. I like the details and the use of the 40K pieces. Loving the hat too!
Love the bolt thrower, and the unique look you have going on for your CD's! Great to see you develop your own style, keep us updated!

My only suggestions would be to remove the flare on the spear, and remove the dwarf markings from the axe blade Happy

Great work, motivates me to work on my skills with green stuff!

Here, a couple slaves for your hard work!!

Modeling I don't mind and find fun. painting is going be deadly with so many models though Sick


You could hand select a few models and paint up a mordheim band, and use those as a starting point for your WH Fantasy army as well Happy

Be sure to produce/submit an entry for the upcoming Golden Hat VI Competition for a bunch of slaves and a chance at glory! Everybody wins in one way or another!

Hey mate Happy
- It's always great to see some new models based on "older" ideas Wink And we shall be happy that we all can share ideas with each-other and help Happy

However back to you work mate Happy
- I like you idea of using the zappa from Orks, as a ehmm Bolt Thrower - right?

Keep up the good work, and I'll hope to see more soon

Cheers mate Cheers!
Dang, just tried to send some comments, but my internet crashed and I've lost them. Let's see if I can word it as I had...

It was late and so I hadn't bothered to open the attachments, but I have now and they still look as good, if not better than before. I do have two pieces of information to provide for improvement. The Chaos Dwarf on the far right has a bit of a flat beard, so it may need to be redone, unfortunately and the blunderbussers beard slits are on the front only, but not the sides of each sausage. If you simply get some clippers and score the slits around the sides, it'll look much better. The other idea is on the character. I think it'd be worthwhile as he is a character: the beard seems to appear around the shield and is a little square from behind it. If possible make the beard get thinner towards the shield (it gives the impression of being squished by it Big Grin ) and also you need to make it wrap around the shield.

If you don't get what I mean, then just say and I'll try to re-explain or maybe make some pics if I can be bothered Wink
I gotta say this is solid work, so the title is misleading. Those war machines are ace!
Nice going there mate!

Don't forget to remove the mouldlines though okay?!
I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit Wizuriel Happy they look really good. I like that they aren't "identical" to Xander's since they are YOUR CDs!

the beards look good. I prefer the looser looking braids in the beard as opposed to the tight "spring-like" beards 'cause they don't look real.

1st sorcy. First attempt at doing a cape to. not sure yet if I like it Unsure

shame the beard messed up. got knocked before drying and got pressed Angry at least its only the side not the front. though can't get it lose Angry

cheers for positive comments Cheers!


Very cool.

This is the same model Xander used to convert one of our army's mages, it is fantastic as a mage, so good call. Ours is painted and ready, but the reveal will sadly not come until after the GH6 results Wink

Keep up the good work! if the beard or the cape bug you, you can always rip off and redo, but I think they look good, when will we get to see a painted version?

Looking good. I'll move the topic as requested after the post. I like the standard bearer and blunderbusser. I especially like the sorcerer (reminds me of mine, lol. Wonder why Wink ) I like the addition of the eyepatch and the swirls on the ball look really good. Two things to help ya out: the top of the beard, just under the arm, of the standard bearer needs to have a few slits in it as well as it's a little plain there. With the sorcerer, the beard doesn't quite reach the arm. otherwise, everything is looking incredibly excellent!
LOOK'S great i like your green stuff and the ring of power!!
looking good wiz, but in my personal opinion the hats could use a bit of beefing up. Some nice new ideas as well (the ring is a nice touch)
I like your colors !!!!!So are you going to do anything cool with the baces Wizuriel
Not a bad job and a good use of existing parts. Keep up the good work.
This stuff is looking nice!  Keep it up, man!
great painting ! I like the browns and red on the warriors
the conveted bull centaur looks good to
Looking good. With the pictures, have a small backdrop and place it in front of a window. Then, about noon (when the Sun is brightest), take the pictures without flash. Best to do it on a sunny day. Experiment with how best to take the pics Big Grin
they look cute !! it remind me of hersey kisses mmmmmmm chocolate
It's all looking very good. The reasoning behind the snotlings is a good one. One thing about them, it seems like you have used a very thick orange. Add a drop or two of water to the paint to thin it down, that way, it won't blotch up the detail (third in from the left, first picture). Also, the bull centaurs look really good, but another personal difference: the standard bearer should also be a big hat model. His height is different, he looks even shorter because he lacks the hat, his beard is different and overall, he looks out of place (more like he'd be in a different unit). However, the colour scheme is lovely. I REALLY like the vedigree and purple choice. Especially on the blunderbusses. overall, good job!
love the colors on the blunderbuss
