[Archive] [02/22/2014] army from schlunds of magma

magmaschlund:

After posting my firstborns in the conversion section I was asked to start this blog. Hopefully help me to stay foccused on these mean little fellows too.

My army starts with IG baring handweapons and shields. 20of them. They’ll be mounted on two joinable movementtrais as I found this quite usefull in preavious battles.

Further more there will be 20 IG with missleweapons(blunderbuss or firedglaive will use the same model).

3bullcentaures, whith I was thinking on converting from KoC horses and Ogrebull, but might switch that to orc body’s as suggested. I guess I’ll just figure that out as soon as the modells arrive.

Furthermore there’ll be some greenskin slaves, as I ordered 10gobo appetizers, allready have about 30gobo bowmen, and will be receiving about 24 orcs over the next fire days.

I also ordered the “eater of souls”, as I always liked.the model.

Those pics show the first 5 and the next 5wip.

Please note the basing on those first will be redone as I base the whole unit. If anyone has tips/tutorials on how to do magma bases(I know there’s tons on YouTube) feel free to share!

Tips and criticism welcome. Obviously

Admiral:

I’m surprised how convincing the cutting-down of Chaos Warriors worked. Well done!

tjub:

Looks good! :slight_smile:

So here we go:

Got 5 more IG done.

Also got to build’n’base about 30goblins.

Since I’m waiting for delivery of more WoC for the IG tomorrow I’lo start batchpainting these gobbos.

Cheers.

Ps. I seem to have a problem uploading more pictures.

My uploads did’t reach the limit yet.

magmaschlund:

WIP 1st row of 10 goblins. Details and basing still missing. Took me abit 3hrs to paint them up to this standart. Which is really cool I think. Still no delivery, so I guess I’ll try to fish those guys this weekend.

Hi Guys,

I still can’t upload those pic from my mobile, but using the desktop works.

So here’s my update:

I finished another 5 IG. Still waiting on the shippment of KoC, BoC, CK and Fenriswolfs I got my self for my birthday…

With the two WoC I had left I tried two things. First I did the chopping with my new Dremel (actually a proxxon) and I converted a two-handed Wearon as well as a fireglaive.

But since I got some Gobos really cheap, and figured I need some pratice anyway I nearly finished the goblin unit. They are unipose, in parts a little sloppy but overall I satisfied how they came out.

Also got myself Belegar Ironhammer yesterday. Did only little conversion work to use him as my general.

Tipps and criticism are welcome, as always.

Admiral:

It’s lookin’ good. Will you give Belegar any whiskers? A moustache could tie him in with his bearded minions.

Dînadan:

Nice work on the glowing weapons :slight_smile:

magmaschlund:

thought about giving belegar a beard.

not decided yet. my sculting skill is kind of clumbly.

don’t wanna mess him up. :slight_smile:

sadly those weapons look better on the pecture, than on those minis. but they’re allright.

Admiral:

You could wait with Belegar and finish him at the end of the army. That way, you’ll have ample opportunity to sharpen your sculpting skills through the regiments.

Bloodbeard:

Your beards are already looking okay. When the unit is done you’ll make a fine hero beard.

Just make sure to try something slighty different on every grunt. You’ll quickly find a favourite.

Dwarf thunderer guns are great for fireglaives, good details - and cheap as dirt.

Like the carnivaly hobgoblins.

Yodrin:

Very nice work there!!

Skink:

Wow, sweet start!!! Those little guys are evil! And I like them bases ;)!

Abecedar:

Personally have never been fond of overly WoC styled CD’s but You’ve done well with them. I love the olde goblin archers. “TheFNG” has just posted a unit of them too.

Sticklander:

Great Belegar conversion! And those old goblin archers have similarities with hobgoblins!

Great progress!

magmaschlund:

couldn’t resist.

probably waiting to sculpt another 10-20 beards on the ig would have improved my skill. still i think it came out alright.

what do you think?
