Loki:

Great work on the bull centaurs they look great :slight_smile: The black orcs work really well with the centaur bodys :slight_smile:

Da Crusha:

thanks guys!
yeah they sure are pretty big, I like em a lot. I just glued their arms on and I am going to start sculpting the beards and placing the heads probably tomorrow also I gotta paint my rozmax evil dwarf from troll forge he’ll be my general for the tourney coming up in…9 days:o!

Da Crusha:

so I finally completed my chaos dwarf general. check him out.









here are my blunderbuss units





Here are my musicians that I use in my cd blocks



only 2 more days until I go to dundracon and then the tournament will be on the 14th. I still havent put beards on my Bull centaur units, Im a bit afraid to try and sculpt em… well If I dont complete them then I guess Ill have to run a mean 2 earthshaker list :slight_smile:

Loki:

Awesome models, the general looks great keep up the good work :slight_smile:

tjub:

I love the two drummers! So cute… :slight_smile:

Da Crusha:

dang, I didnt get around to working on my bull centaurs today so that leaves only one day til the con, I think Im just going to use the earthshaker instead. I spent like the last 8 or 9 hours sorting out models I want to sell at the con… and Im not finished :s. well at least I sprayed all my movement trays, no more bright green, so thats cool:P

Snotling:

The Lord is pretty cool. Where is it from, I remember that I saw a green for a while and I hoped, that somebody sells this mini, but I never knew…

Nice Paintjob, I like the metal tone you have in your army. But maybe you add a little highlights on the cape, it looks a little flat, imho. But in general, i cool army project, keep it up!:hat off

Snotling
thanks:) he is a rozmax sculpt that you can buy from trollforged.com. thanks for the suggestion, the cape could definitely use some highlighting I was just concerned about accidentally turning it into a pink cape:sick. I did do a little bit of highlighting but perhaps it wasnt enough. maybe if I start with a darker tone like red gore and then work my way up to blood red it would probably work better.

Snotling:

Hm, you can add some thinned Chestnut Ink to wash the cape, it makes it a little darker and turnes to pinkness in some kind of skin-leather. Brown Washes work pretty fine on red parts.

Da Crusha:

yeah Im going to try to change that cape sometime in the future. just finished the tourney, I placed 10th of 21 heres the tourney results.



to win you had to beat your opponent by only 200 points, in the official rules this would still be a tie. unfortunately during the first game I played a dark elf player and lost by 240 points and the last turn I beat his hydra by 5 and it didnt break, that couldve turned the game for me.

Da Crusha:

here is my chaos dwarf scroll caddy that I used at the tournament



unfortunately I cant put him in the golden hat competition because ive already shown him painted.

Kera foehunter:

Wow !! he looks perfect !! bravo General Chaos

Da Crusha:

Thanks kera.

Now that the tournament is over its time to prepare for the next one happening in May. I think Im going to focus on a completing my Bull centaur unit and putting more paint on my hobgobbos, since I really only have brown and catachan green on them and only about half have highlighted skin. I noticed at the tournament that I got 14 out of 15 on my comp score so you know what that means… its not scary enough! I brought 4 BT and 2ES and a Great taurus, I guess I need to add some Black orcs or a death rocket to make it a little more intimidating.

Loki:

Great result in the tournament well done :slight_smile: scroll caddy looks great as well :slight_smile:

Da Crusha:

thanks a lot loki :slight_smile: now that im looking at this closeup pic of my scroll caddy I really want to paint that belt buckle and put a scroll in his clenched hand. I did the horns and the skull about 6 hours before the tournament was going to start so it was kind of rushed since I had to go to bed, but I’m pretty happy how it came out. I wanted to distinguish him as a wizard and not just an ordinary CD warrior.

Loki:

How do think you will make the scroll , green stuff ? If your after a good scroll there is one in the hands of the dark elf bolt thrower crew which i think would work well :slight_smile:

Da Crusha:

I got a couple scroll bits from the plague monk sprue, ill probably use those.

Da Crusha:
