[Archive] Big Hat Ogres

I’ve been working on my army some more, and now I officially have a painted 2250 pts army!

All my painted CD mini’s:

Lord on Taurus:

Obsidian Guard + Slavemaster:

Hobgoblin-crewed Doomwheel / Daemoneater:

Hobgoblins:

And well… I’m still working on some more mini’s, and my workplace officially is a mess…

And finally a WIP of my Daemonsmith for the next Golden Hat!

Snotling:

Yeehaa, the Daemonsmith rocks, I want one, too! :hat off this will be your GH-mini? hmm… I really should start getting ideas :slight_smile:

The Doomwheel is pretty cool, for what do you use it… what is a Daemoneater?

m3lvin:

yup, that deamonsmith sure looks awesome!:o

It’s something with CD’s and oversized masks that just feels so right!

this competition is gonna be great! :cheers

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Ditto Deamonsmith looks great already.

Deamon Eater is The CD indy version of the whirlwind/tenderizer. kind of big ass chariot.

Bassman:

Funky daemonsmith! I love it

Thorne:

I really should start getting ideas :)

Snotling
Hehe I already made mine yet to be painted, Nice army of cd's they look very cool ! Love your big hats bud !

Loki:

Great lookind daemon smith first class :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments guys!

I started work on a Daemoneater-mount for the Daemonsmith, just because it’s such an awesome modelling opportunity. At first I wanted to make some kind of Juggernaut pulled chariot, so I got a Tomb Kings chariot, but then I figured that a Dwarf in a chariot would look stupid anyway.

Then I looked at the Juggernaut and Daemonsmith standing next to eachother and the craziest idea was born… a Mechanical Juggernaut with the Daemonsmith as its head…

So I started to pull apart the Juggernaut, some Warmachine robot-thing… and started work. But I want my Daemonsmith to be removable, so I had to build some room for the base…

Well… this is how it’s at now. Still very crude with most of the detail work still missing…

What do you guys think? Is it working, or is it too crazy/unbalanced looking? I could really use all your feedback!

Bolg:

The idea is very cool, but I dont like how the Demonsmith is sitting on top of it, he’s not really in control, just standing there.

I really love the demonsmith but you knew that already.

Zanko:

Imo it would look better and much more “realistic” when the Daemonsmith will sit in and not only on the top of the Juggernaut!

The Daemonsmith should also handle some instruments and not holding a weapon!

So I would use your great Daemonsmith seperatly (perhaps for another task) and create a new (half)one sitting “in” the Juggernaut!

I totally agree with your comments, so I tried to rework the machine. The Daemonsmith on top wasn’t working, so I had to change the entire top part. I don’t have a second Chaos Squat Exo-armour (and couldn’t find a cheap one on Ebay), so I threw away the idea of Daemonsmith as the head. I decided to make an enclosed compartment. Without the base of the Daemonsmith the body could be smaller and more streamlined so it’s less top-heavy.

Well, here’s Mecha-Bull-Centaur mk. 2!

And a little side project… Allons-y!

Bolg:

Yeah! me like the new version of the Deamoneater the model looks a lot better and by just putting the helmet on the “tank top” you really get the impression of a driver.

After I saw your WIP Demon Smith I looked for a similar model, damn if you thought CD’s were expensive try to get your hands on a Squat! single infantry go for 15 euro and more.

But wouldnt those Squat Trikes be uber cool as Inferno golems! (if only I had the money)

Kera foehunter:

love the idea on the mechanical bull centaur!!

i also enjoy watching it being built great work Bas_2312

Well… I couldn’t help myself… so I spent the afternoon sculpting a Daemonsmith that can pilot the Daemoneater…

It’s not exactly the same, but I think it looks close enough. I still need to add the beard and some arms, but I’ll add those once I’ve added the smith to the Daemoneater.

Bolg:

wow, great GS skills (:

Da Crusha:

wow cool looking cd army I especially like the obsidian guard and the deamoneater… Im not a fan of big hats but your paint job really does it for me :hat off

Borador:

Nice ideas in here. Really like the way your army looks, though I am more of a 3rd ed. fan, this is a very cool mob.

Keep them coming!

:cheers

Kera foehunter:

Kera shakes her fist !! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhgg !! quite cutting up the tall hats !!
it’s to hard to find them now
nice green stuff throw can’t wait to see more

I really want to include a unit of Inferno Golems in my army, and with the new Killa Kans I saw some modelling opportunities.

So here’s my first Inferno Golem WIP!
