[Archive] Golden Hat #13 - Musician(1)

Ishkur Cinderhat:

But as you can see in my medal collection' there is really nothing to it - as it is an invisible medal - and how wants that anyway :P

clam
It may be invisibile but it's the BIGGEST medal ever, mate! :D

I'm totally out of ideas for this one. Maybe it's just too small for my taste. LOL

Nicodemus:

I'm calling this one early.. Ish is out! We're all back in the race!!! ;P Haha. Seriously though, your winnings are well deserved and great inspiration for all of us.

Bassman:

Musician? I like it… need to find some ideas… .and end of october is far enought to find time for this… mmmmmmmhh

m3lvin:

hey, in any respected/rightfully treated slave unit every model is a musician in it’s own right,

cracks the whip YAAAAARRGHH !!! :smiley:

was kind of hoping for another theme, unless I get a terrific idea I’ll probably pass this one.

guess only time will tell, right? …hurr hurr.

A decision that many aspiring winners won't try to dissuade you from. ;)

This competition is a neat one as it forces you to think outside of what you are used to, and get creative.  Who knows what sort of crazy instruments we shall see!

Golder Goldeater:

Come on guys don’t give up. This is the first GH I enter and I want some

people to share my agony and slaves :frowning:

warh:

I hapend to have a idea:idea

Willmark:

This also has the benefit of adding to your army. Oftentimes we hear that people want competitions that do just that.

Golder Goldeater:

In fact I’ve been wondering what would u come up with for the 13th GH.

There seems to be a one competition for each unit of the dawi zhar so there isn’t much left. Perhaps we should try something from the indy’s list?

(Am I spelling it correctly?)

Grimstonefire:

We try not to favour one fan list over another, eventually we make look around.  Hopefully some time soon GW will release something and we can get going on a new list. :~

There are some generic things like war machines, slaves/hobgoblins etc, so there is still a lot of room.

Anyhow, we’ll need to save all that for a GH #14 discussion thread. :wink:

Fequiil:

i hope i’ll be able to enter

(although it won’t happen if my progress isn’t going to speed up.:()

Tarrakk Blackhand:

This is an interesting subject. I wonder what type of “Musical Instrument” would be used for battle, besides a trumpet (horn of some description) and drum.

Also, in the description in the rules of this contest, wouldn’t 2 Hobgoblin Wolfriders fighting over a trumpet actually constitute 2 models? Just asking.

Nicodemus:

You'd be in the clear if it was two models on a single 20mm base... otherwise they'd both have to be on the back of a wolf for the larger base.

~N

Grimstonefire:

Yes, the actual base size is the important thing for this one. Anything ontop is just a conversion.

I’d love to see anyone actually attempt the 2 hobgobbos on wolf btw, as it was just a random idea but it sounds quite tricky.

Hammerhand:

Got a cool idea but don’t know if I can get it done on time (I fly to Africa on 8th October). I’ll give at a good go though - might have to put in for some more leave from work!!!

Ishkur Cinderhat:

This is going to be a very fiddly piece… unless you go with a cavalry unit musician, you’ll need to fit everything onto a 20mm (regular infantry) or 25mm (Black Orcs) square base. Tricky one, but not entirely undoable. :wink:

Nicodemus:

Ishkur Cinderhat
.. Big 'Uns are also a possible upgrade from Orc Boyz. Not that that changes anything, it's just the only other route to a 25mm base in the army that doesn't involve Black Orcs, but it's not much of a distinction for a musician.

Folks should also remember Goblins are fair game ;)



Just stick a hat and/or a tie-on beard (GS or real string) the above musician and you're set :D

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I was looking through my CD collection (Massive as it is) and came across a Musician I was working on, but haven’t finished yet. All he needs is some GS and paint and I’m done! :smiley:

What a score!

nitroglysarine:

I had considered a bag pipe. we’ll see :smiley:

Hashut’s Blessing:

Damnit… The model I wanted to do would be £15 for the base cost! Then, I’d need the specific extras that I want…
