[Archive] Bolg's Blog of other stuff on a butget... (pic heavy)

Bolg:

As you might have noticed I’m kinda addicted to the sculpting and building of models at the moment…

So I was talking to a guy at my local game dealer about what other stuff that is easy and cool to build; a gigantic spider would be easy, but I have the old 4dr edition gobbo one and I love the model so there is no real use. Or scratch build tree kin using real wood and green stuff, those would be easy. But I dont see myself playing Woodelfs pretty soon. on witch the guy replied, I would love some original treekin for my woodelfs, I would trade you. on wich I replied, sure i’ll do that, but only if you have Chaos dwarves to trade.
He didnt have Chaos Dwarves…
only Hobgoblins…

So here is a picture of the firts 25 minutes of work:

Hobgoblins Jay!!!

Update:

Its fast, its cheap but its not looking half bad. looking forward on working some more on these guys
(2 squigs are finished 1 almost and the other 2 are on their way. they all ended up a bit big, I think i’ll make 2 really small ones to make them rank up more easy)

Bolg:

One more round of extra detail and we’re done.


Oh and i’m almost out of greenstuff, how stressfull, I need my fix d:

Bolg:

Working on the second rank/unit:

Bolg:

2nd Rank finished:



Working on some more squigs, from scratch this time:





And now I’m seriously thinking about maybe starting a woodelf army just because making treekin is so much fun. I could also easily make a treeman and some dryads. And they are are a bit underdog at the moment d:

bas_2312:

Love the squigs. The one on the top left is waaaaaaay too cute ;p

Bolg:

First unit is done, I’ve started working with my own faces as I did not have any extra gargoyle heads and am not allowed to put more more in these.



Work on the 2nd unit has started.



and 10 dryads



everything:



And also working on a Mangler squigh



its going to be a squigh riding a squigh…

Yes its true, I did not got any work done today

tjub:

Bolg:

LOL.

Today I’m not allowed to sculpt (already did some). really have to draw (life is hard). and besides my fingertips are itching from working with the stuff all day yesterday.

tjub:

Your concept for treemen is rather cool… Almost feel like I have to try some myselft… :slight_smile:

bas_2312:

I think the faces you sculpted yourself look better than the plastic bits you were using before! Keep up the good work! :slight_smile:

Bolg:

Thanx. And you should. Only be carefull before you know it you are building an army just because you think you can d:

bas_2312
Thanx, I do too. Only 3 of the 12 in my army have those heads (and the make them GW legal d: )

and some close ops from the tree kin







I got some cheap archers and a Great Eagle and I already have have enough for a 1500 points army,

Probably start painting soon.

Bolg:

Almost forgot, I need a treeman too.



It probably looked pretty stupid but I walked around searching for sticks and I completely fell in love with the top hand of this piece of wood I’m now using, Half his face is already finished. cant wait to start the green stuff (:

Bolg:

Played my first game with my (still unpainted) wooden woodelfs (wint the bare minimum of elfs (all metal)).

I had some lucky rolls and won, witch means I now like playing the woodland eleven folk, So after wards I was talking with Bas_2312 abouth other additional options for the army and we kinda realized; Wild riders of Kurnous are also “Forrest spirits”. did some brain storming and now the plan is to make these guys as a centaur variant of the dryads i’ve already made.  I’m quite excited, this is going to be my cheapest warhammer army ever (:

Pics comming soon.
Sorry its all very un Chaosdwarfy of me…

[edit]
first wip pic, doenst look like much yet but give me a day (:

Bolg:

Treeman update:



Centaurs of Kurnous update:



(they are coming along nicely)

and this is probably how everything will look once painted.

Dryads:





I’m actually quite happy with how the Dryads came out, looking forward to painting all the treekin in different colors.

tjub:

Not sure how I feel on the “woody-wood elf-things”, but as far as for Treemen and Dryads they are great looking!

Blue in VT:

:cheers

Man these are very cool…and totally feel like Bolg sculpts…Awesome!

Can’t wait to see more.

Thorne:

Epic work but if I may ask what’s the White putty filler your using on these guys ?

Bolg:

@Tjub: Thanx. I think the centaurs will be OK once finished, might not be typical wild riders but tey’ll fit the rest. (oh and they didnt const me anything and thats the main purpose of this army).

@Blue: Cheers, more coming pretty soon.

@Thorne, Its Milliput, but not the standard yellow version but someone said I should try the silver white. When dry its a lot stronger than yellow, but a bit more tricky to work with, next time i’ll defiantly buy the yellow one again for the basic shapes.
