[Archive] [05-21-2008] Xander's and Vexxus's Chaos Dwarf Army!

Hashut’s Blessing:

Looking damned fine. Not enough CDs yet :wink: Any plans for the Lord on Taurus (glad you’re getting around to updating him :smiley: )?

AGPO:

holy cow, these guys kick asses! your hobbos look pretty cool, when they are painted, fuckin' old school, mate ^^.

Snotling
Holy cow (bull) Snotling's back! :beer Long time no see my friend, hope your dusting off theat army blog of yours!

As for Xander and Vexus - thats some lovely work guys, but as HB said you need more core to get playing. Hows the kolossus going?

Vexxus:

Thanks AGPO! I do believe the blunderbuss unit is next on the rank and file list!

Willmark:

I see the Force is strong with you… but you are not a Jedi yet…

Huh? what? sorry something overcame me there for a second. Excellent work. I especially like the hobbos. Nice work all around.

One question just whose army is this? do you have joint custody?

Xander's love child, I got in on things late, but believe me, more will get done with me on board cracking the (steel?) whip.

Haha. Xander and I buy things together, share each others resources etc. But the bulk of the spending usually comes from him, I suppose to balance against me having the bulk of the talent ;) j/k

In summation:
Xander's Chaos Dwarfs, as converted and painted by both Xander and Vexxus!

Merchant:

An update at last!

Slight overhead shot of the completed unit of 20 Hobgoblins!

Different angle, different lighting!

Again, angle and lighting have changed.

A shot of the painted army, sans my new Standard Bearer (whose arm fell off!)
More pics!

Vexxus and I would love some comments. Vex painted all the Hobgob crewmen, we split of the hobbo unit, and Vex painted the new Hobbo scheme. The rest you have seen before. :)

Cheers,
-Xander

Xander
Xander my man :) and Vexxus you too - just love what I see :cheers
But I do have some questions:
- Your Taurus, how did you get it from the wood elf steg to a CD Taurus? :o
- All your ruin baces, those are very great - how did your make these?
- Your Hobgoblins banner, is it from BFSP or is it converted?
Now when talking about Hobbos, how can I make a bare-belly for my Hobbos?

Well thats all my man, keep it the great work :) I hope to see some more in a near future :) Love your work :hat off

Cheers mate :cheers

asheira:

that’s one beautiful army

but the core of your army should be improved

can’t wait to see your take on blunderbusses

Sojourn:

oooooh, good work boys :slight_smile:

Vex, I really like the inverted colour scheme on your hobgoblins (they are hobgoblins, right!?)

We do need more core. A unit of 25 more warriors is in production, and the BBs are coming along too.
oooooh, good work boys :)

Sojourn
Thanks! :hat off

Grish:

So who keeps this army? Are you going to split it up?

Xander:

Vex is more of a modeler/painter, so I am going to leave a bunch of stuff, including the paint, with him. I will be taking the completed stuff for gaming, Grish.

Grish:

If he likes, I can leave him a good portion of my army to paint if he’s into that, Xandor, conqueror of worlds.

Vexxus:

If he likes, I can leave him a good portion of my army to paint if he's into that, Xandor, conqueror of worlds.

Grish
Erm... maybe if good portion = wicked cool converted character models???

Otherwise, I have more than enough on my plate as it is :)

If you are a very very very patient person, click here to see for yourself. Lots in the works, but nothing to present anytime soon ;)

Vexxus
No, just regular stuff. I don't even put all my own stuff together, maybe 1/4 - 1/3. No, I'm not a patient person. Haven't really painted a thing yet; I do trades with people. I know what I'm good at, and painting isn't it.

Grish
Perhaps either a 'wash' or 'dipped' army would be an ideal possibility for you!? It is certainly faster, and you can get some great looks with less traditional skills :)

I believe THIS is an example of a dipped army from this site.

Grish:

Yeah, that’s what dave was saying. He’ll show me when he gets here. I have no skills for painting as yet, have not dedicated any time to it.

THanks for the links, will email them to myself.

zorn sabretooth:

Hashut’s Blessing:

So, Mr. Xander, how are the painted ones doing? Vexxus, how be the unpainted ones coming along?
