Grimstonefire:

An update with the newest shots:

First up the semi completed Soul Reaper.  I still need to add some small details here and there, and make the bit where the star part joins on a lot stronger.  This can be done after painting.

Next up my finished blunderbusser.  I’ve got enough ready for a unit of 10 to paint, another 5 in various stages of assembly.

An updated shot of the Brotherhood

[attachment=1463]

And my practically finished warriors (with cool standard).

[attachment=1464]

Bear in mind these are the shots I will use for my army book, taken unfortunately on a day without much sun :(  I will take more if required on a better day.

My sorcerer I had to sculpt a bit more on his hat, so I’ll try and get him up in the next few days.

The soul reaper is nearing completion for painting (without crew), so I will put that up soon as well.

Black Orcs I will try and do an update shot as well.

For the sake of completeness all the other things that should be in my blog:

Earth Shaker





Immortal standard bearer

Braki Flamebeard:

Wow. This stuff is fantastic! I love the soul reaper and the brotherhood, and I can’t wait to see more of those immortals, they certaintly do look well armoured. I don’t think they’ll be dying in a hurry!

And when is there ever any sun? :stuck_out_tongue:

Zanko:

Awesome stuff! :hat off

Great conversions! :hat off

I´m mostly impressed by your Earth Shaker!!! :hat off :cheers :hat off

Nothing to criticize!!! :hat off

:hashut

apocalypstia:

Phenomenal works, nice attention to details with missing scales on the BO unit, very creative warmachines.

its a shame to see the work on the mechanical bull to come to an apparent halt though. Were you holding on to it for future possibilites or just scratching it all together?

thanks for sharing your inspirational take on the dawi zharr.

Grimstonefire:

@Braki

I’ve got 15 immortals, a mix of metal and resin casts that need cleaning up.  With golden daemon looming I probably won’t get many painted until october.  

@Zanko

:cheers

@apocalypstia

Oh I have something special on the go already…  Much better than that one!

Another update, it didn’t take as long as I thought it would to get the soul reaper finished. It’s not ‘finished’, but it’s good enough for now. I’ve also taken some shots of my sorcerer and a close up of the banner.  I may need to clip off that skull directly infront of his face… :D  Plus the start of my chaingang/ hobgoblins unit.

Two updates in one day after over a year since the last one!?!?  Who has kidnapped Grim has replaced him with this imposter?

Hrothgar Goldgreed:

Too … much … awesomeness … at once … ! System … overloaded … must devote to … Hashut!

Those are all very, very nice, perfect conversions. But then again, that’s the least we can expect from you, eh :)?

Oi! I just noticed you casted up those hammerheads belonging to Thorgrim’s Thronebearers! Could you, would you pretty please (with a cherry on top!) consider casting those up for us? Me? :cheers :hat off

Grimstonefire:

I had a look, but I seem to have lost half the mould. I lent it to a friend a while back, so he may have it. I can’t promise anything though. I don’t have the resources to make another one atm I’m afraid.

Kera foehunter:

i see you made me a cool deck gun grims !!! it look great

These war machines are incredible, I love the last banner.

:hat off

Grimstonefire:

If anyone was curious the parts I used for that standard bearer:

Hellcannon Crew

Dwarf warrior arm (axe)

Dwarf warrior standard pole

Quarrellers icon, chopped down to the book, and with the runes scrapped off.

VC skellie skull

Bloodletters icon, chopped down a bit

Skull on chain from marauder horsemen.

Mechanical bit from miners sprue on base.

I am considering taking some of the models I had lined up for BB and making the unit of warriors 25.  20 was a bad number for blunderbussers anyway!

Skink:

These are so gorgeous! There isn’t any word close enough to these model’s beauty!!!

Really, the “Dark Engineers” theme that you went for is perfectly reflected by your models, in an exquisite way! And you are indeed an expert painter/modeler! The Earthshaker is breath taking.

Kera foehunter:

so is that a hobgoblin unit or a slave unit grims !!!

Hrothgar Goldgreed:

I had a look, but I seem to have lost half the mould. I lent it to a friend a while back, so he may have it. I can't promise anything though. I don't have the resources to make another one at the moment I'm afraid.
Thanks alot. That's more than I was hoping for! :) :hat off

Xander:

Awesome work grim. :slight_smile: I’ve been poking through your stuff, for what might be obvious reasons to you. :stuck_out_tongue:

Borador:

Real nice mini’s Grim, now I really need to get me some casting stuff and also I really need to sculpt some of my own models now, so I can also get a regiment as cool and unique as one of yours :stuck_out_tongue:

(Well that won’t happen but still I really need to buy casting stuff now, hehe :P)

ashur:

I dont understand how the earthshaker is supposed to work…

Congratulations. Once again your work is most impressive.

Grimstonefire:

Thanks.

Hopefully I will finish off my existing units soon.  I’m getting tired of them being incomplete.

Kera foehunter:

lol i know all about imcomplete armys

GOOD LUCK

Gar Shadowfame:

the idea on hat on engi is imba, great match for masks theme,

Balseraph:

WoooooooooooW. What a Great Stuff !! Excelent Job !!
