Holy smokes! End of jan came soon enough. Here in Norway we have had freezing weather and the Norwegain Warhammer Championships to keep us busy. Now time of this months pledge:
I will paint a Hellshrieker rocket (or death rocket for those of you who remember WW2) with crew. I have added an extra crewman to make it a bit more 8`th editiony.

PS: 10 victory point to whoever finds the part I glued on wrong

Januarys pledge is now done, with seconds left on the clock.
The deathshrieker rocket - with crew


This was in a way my first test models for the army. I have done some early test models some months ago, but were not really happy with any of them. I found a lot of inspiration in the Thamurkhan book, where the CDs had a very “straight from the furnace”-feel to them, especially the armor. The shield on the first page of the Chaos dwarf chapter is just what I was gunning for (could not find a picture of it, sorry) I also wanted a more realistic, and less cartoony contrast color, than the original big hats had. So no bright reds, thank you.
I ended up trying out a vibrant orange for the lava on my bases. The bases will be mostly black, and not overflowing with lava, as I find that approach way to bright. For larger bases I will try to do some light effects of red glow from the lava. For the deathshrieker rocket I tried out using the same orange as glowing runes on the model. This should be limited to only smaller areas of the models, unless they will end up looking like Evil Construction Site Dwarfs ™
Anyways: Feel free to give comments, praise or shun

I like Hobgob, Wolf and Base, not too convinced about Weapon and shield. They could profit from some more love.

Thanks for the kind word, guys! that means a lot!
@DAGabriel: I can see what you mean with the axe and shield. I was thinking of painting the shaft of the axe in wood, and maybe adding some more detail in the metal. It can`t look to fancy though, it is only a lowly Hobgoblin...
The shields I have gone a bit back and forth on, whether to use Chaos marauders shields or go with the old round ones. One thing in on the characters, but it will have much impact on how the mono-pose plastic warriors will look.
I have decided to use the round type (thank you E-bay) and the old water transfers that I found in my drawer from my previous hobby life as a kid. Keepin`it old school *gestures with fingers*
I have tried to add some battle damage to the shield to make it look more realistic and more in tune with my painting scheme. What do you guys think? Any tips on improving the lovely but O-so-flat shields?

very nice, keep 'em coming. good work on the hobgobs horns, are you going to redo your 3rd crewmans horns or leave them as metal ones?.

Right-o!
Update time. I have been painting away on my CDs lately, and even though progress is slow, it is at least progress
I wanted to give the hobgoblin Khan a more dynamic pose, as if he is charging forward. The miniature (and the mount) limits this a bit, but i tried to use the base to make it look more like it is moving. The paint scheme is contiuing what I started on the evil dwarfs. I decided to go for a pale and ash-like green for the skin, with a red nose for that natural "Hobgobbo look".
I have not varnished the model yet, and I am really looking for some feedback on the painting! Cheers

I also have a red nose hero ^^ enjoy

@DAgarbriel - those are some truly old school shields! Might give that a go, thanks!
@Abecedar -Good question about the horns really! Have not thought about it. I probably should do something else with them and I am using bone and skulls as contrasting elements (albeit rather subtle ones...) Bone it is then.
@Tjub - Tjena Tjub. Scandinavians dont get that much daylight, so I paint my dwarves accordingly! PS: long time (lurking) fan of you models
@Babis - Looks really great! They probably have the same drinking problem

And in the series "what on earth is Soulassassin building", we have this lovely number!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? And why oh why does it have saggy tits?
Any ideas?
