Hammerhand:
Falls off chair Thud!!
:hat off
Simply awesome!
Willmark:
Aww thanks guys. One reason I have been working so hard on them is that 1) I want to inspire others to work/complete their CD armies and 2) to not disappoint all of you following the army blog!
Since its Super Bowl Sunday I don’t imagine I’ll be getting much done tonight so I might have to wait until Monday night to resume work on the army.
Khan!:
The lammasu’s beard is nothing short of fantastic! I am very impressed. Now eager to see some finished bull centaurs!
clam:
Inspire - you say You work is absolutely brilliant - I love the Lammasu - it fits your army so nice. Keep it comming.
Long live King Willmark :cheers
Hashut’s Blessing:
Wowza! That’s mor ethan my standard of finished, so no worries there! To say that THAT isn’t as good as it looks is mind baffling. Many congratulations on a fine job well done!
Willmark:
Thanks HB and Clam!
UPDATE
No new pics, sorry. The next units I’m keeping under wraps until they are done. I did not paint tonight, but I did sculpt. I got quite a bit done, but neither are finished. The only details I’ll let slip is this: I worked on the Taurus AND the Bull Centaurs! Mainly the Bull Centaurs. I’d say i got about 60% of the way there with sculpting. I didn’t like some of the heads and did some swaps, as well as tinker with a few poses and hands here and there, but enough said, for now…
I am taking work in progress pics thou, so when I do finish them I will have a bunch of photos all at once. Stay Tuned.
Also as noted in the thread about the look of Immortals I have been formulating some ideas regarding them.
Willmark:
UPDATE
Work on my BCs and Taurus could now be seriously threatened. Damn you Ishkur!
Here is some concept art fully inspired by Ishkur from his army blog and the tread regarding Chaos Sorcerers and petrification! as discussed here: https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/7304
If it comes together I might even make the helm for the petrified sorcerer in the same basic shape as the “tall hats” as noted in my sketch I have a bit for it in mind. Funny thing is the bit is from the classic throne bearers. It was part of one of the bearers then I cut it off. Next stop was for the BCs, didn’t like it there, cut it off again. Next was dry fitting it for either the tenderizer or the whirlwind. That didn’t work either. So maybe 4th time is the charm.
Ishkur Cinderhat:
Hehe, that’s great - I like it a lot! Rules-wise the bearers could simply be a part of the unit, and the sorceror statue count as a magic battle standard. No new rules would need to be invented, AND it would be very chaos-dwarfy. Go ahead Willmark!

Necro:
The throne for Lord rocks! If I will have some free time I will built something similar to it for my army. I also like the Orcs - recently I’m thinking about taking an unit of them into battle and I’m thinking about some conversions for them but I have no good idea.
Willmark:
BCs are nearing completion in the sculpting phase> the front rank is 99% done, the back only needs a bit more then its off to the paint shop. Want to see pics… Keep Waiting!
UPDATE: AS of 2:36 PM the Bull Centaurs are done! Off to be primed!
Also the Count as Army standard is about 95% done being sculpted. Only need to add a bit more, but have to wait for parts of it to to dry. Lots of work into just the standard! Yikes.
Taurus is on the back burner but now stripped of paint as well as wings attached and green stuffed.

Progress updates
Still toiling away in the man cave on the latest parts to the army.
1) Progress on the Bull Centaurs. All are now about 33% finished in terms of painting. I’m painting all at the same time. Only potential stumbling block is the banner. I’m not sure just what I’m going to paint for them.
2) I have my count as army standard done. Now I need to get some bearers created, though with the GW online store in its current state that will prove difficult.
On a personal note, 1,000 bronze medal! The army is now at 1,725 points actually with the addition of my lammasu. The BCs will push me over 2,000!
Photo updates may happen this weekend. Stay tuned.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E! Stars of the show IMO is the poor little slayer, bolt thrower and your bearded bull.
Great stuff and thanks for the slave, lord. Damn… gotta get my stuff going soon.
:cheers

it sound slike everything is really coming along and pulling together nicely. An army shot of everything at the end would be impressive. Most impressive.
Willmark:
Progress Update
I actually have my test Bull Centaur completed at this stage of the game only 9 more to go.
Looks like the count as army standard with be on the back burner for a bit, because of two reasons. 1) GW online store not up yet. 2) Golden Hat V
Last night I didn’t get as much done as I wanted. I was looking through my army project notes and noticed some notations I made regarding the bases for the bolt throwers… So much cutting and hacking later each is on their own 40mm base. Each now fits into the scenic base, but now can be removed. I would have put them on 50mm bases but that would have required far to much rework to the scenic bases. As it is I have to do a small bit of repainting, but nothing too major.
Willmark:
UPDATE
First off sorry, this is not the update that everyone is waiting for (i.e. the shots of the bull Centaurs). They are still being painted, although I didn’t get much done last night as I had to work at my part time job. Also the diversion of “fixing” the bolt throwers bases is nearly done (should only take ten minutes to finish up). I’ll post some shots of those to show what I did to change them which wasn’t to much but required hacking through a bunch of bases a a crap-load of glue!
However, they are coming along nicely, all except the banner which is going to undergo some minor changes; still have to think up an image for it though.
Since this came up in another thread i figured I’d share it with you: The earliest stages to my Death rocket. Not much done but you can see the direction it will be going:
UPDATE
Here are the changes that I made to the bolt throwers. As noted nothing too exciting but should be useful when deployed. I.e. I can remove them from the scenic bases when terrain dictates…
More recruits arrived in the mail: lazy slaves… their under coat needs to be finished or its latrine duties for these slackers! (one teaser note… the base that can be just seen in the upper left corner… that’s the base for the WIP Taurus!)
Lastly, since I know there are some folks on the site who usually spot stuff in the background of photos: I present my Bull Centaurs! Had to move them when I took the last round of photos!
In all seriousness, depending on tonights painting session, I might have them near done on Sunday. If that happens look for photos late Sunday night…
Although my Golden Hat V entry is taking up some initial design time right now.
