[Archive] Hashut's Blessing Chaos Dwarf Workings

Hashut’s Blessing:

Thanks. Always gotta love a dead spider :wink:

Anyhow, I forgot to bring my camera back from my girlfriend’s, however, I have a video camera with which I can take some basic pictures and I still have a few spare pics not yet posted. Regardless, with some “gentle” reminding, I shall post up more. I uncovered the CD upon which my, very poorly voiced, one-shot tutorial for making CD warriors is on. I shall try to upload this when I can, both in here and as a new thread elsewhere :wink:

Hashut’s Blessing:

Unfortunately, due to some technical problems, I am unable to post the tutorial and it is too late (lightwise) to refilm a shorter version that will work, so I shall have to wait until tomorrow, Wednesday or next week, but I shall try to have some pics up. Sorry to disappoint to anyone that might read this :wink:

Hashut’s Blessing:

Well, unless somebody can help me with the whole “getting the tutorial to go into Windows Movie Maker” thing, by the time I leave for Yorkshire tomorrow, I unfortunately can’t have the tutorial up until next week. Also, I sifted through my photobucket pictures and the only ones that I have left are the ones already on here or non-CD ones. I may have to make an off-topic showcase for all of my other models, which have been receiving a lot more time of late (but that’s more because I have painted all of the CD stuff that I’ve made and I want to get my already made models painted before I make more for me to have to paint, lol :stuck_out_tongue: ). HOPEfully, I’ll remember my camera and be able to get some decent(ish) pictures. Apologies for the delay again…

Kera foehunter:

Yea yea !! now lets see it H b

Hashut’s Blessing:

Well, Kera, it’s nice to see that someone would like to see some of my work :wink: I’ll try to get to work on the preparation for it tomorrow and then create it on Tuesday (hopefully uploading it later that day). Unfortunately, I have some coursework to do at university, but it hopefully won’t interfere too much :stuck_out_tongue:

Kera foehunter:

Well i can wait sweetie! take your time

Hashut’s Blessing:

At least my sole fan can wait :wink: Just gotta try to steal my camera back from my girlfriend :smiley:

Zanko:

HB the whole CDO community wants to see your amazing and unique stuff! :hat off

Hurry up! :wink:

Border Reiver:

Love the work you did on the Treasure Hunter to make your gaoler

Warhammerman:

This is pretty awesome.  Agreed on the good job done on the treasure hunter.

Kera foehunter:

Um !! H. b. She does sleep don’t she , take the Camera then!!

and place a red rose next to her pillow!! Then your off the hook

Kera’s helpfull hint #10093

Hashut’s Blessing:

Thanks for the kind words all ^^ Glad to see a few more have found the thread and may find it inspirational. I like being unique. It’s far less boring :smiley:

Anyhow, I DID steal the camera, now I need to remember what is already in here (by which I mean look :D) and then decide how to take the pics and wait until daylight to do so and then decide what you get to see this week :stuck_out_tongue:

Kera foehunter:

well youi have 3 day s before i E-mail you better half

and tell that you have her camera

Hashut’s Blessing:

Well, I was trying to make my reply yesterday, but had to leave to get a coach to her :wink: However, I have it all ready and am posting it. So, without further ado:

A small update of several things. Sorry for some of the pics being blurry, but I had to be very quick as I’ve got a coach to catch and I knwo it takes ages to upload my pictures. I’d like to point out now that there are some mould lines on the models, but they can’t be seen in person and I’ve only just noticed them here. Also, the skin looks a little blotchier than in real life, but the bltochiness in real life actually gives them more depth and looks like they’re somewhat dirtied by living in an ashen wasteland, thusly it’s acceptable in person :wink:

Anyhow, without further delay :smiley:

First up is my hobgoblin bolt thrower. It is simply a goblin spear chukka, with the front “teeth-grille” part glued on upside down.

Crew



Next up is my unit of Orc Arrer Boyz. Somehow, I have 11 and I think I have a few more floating about. I only bought 10 O.o Anyhow, the musician’s horn is a beastmen horn that I had spare, the hand shaved down to be a grip and glued into place above his quiver, so he’s still shooting. The standard bearer originally had a sword in his right hand, but I only wanted the champion to have a sword, so I lopped it off and replaced it with a beastment standard pole. There is a beastmen shield, a skull on chain, a cold one head (how I had a SPARE one, I’ll never know, lol :stuck_out_tongue: ) attached to a flail chain and a dwarf head all simply glued on and, hey presto, simple command group :stuck_out_tongue:

Next up are my black orcs. My friend gave me 10 of these bad boys necause he was trying to create some space :smiley: Then, I obtained a standard bearer and musician in a group lot of Chaos and Ddark Elves I won on eBay. All I needed now was a champion, so I lopped off his right hand and added a 6th edition Chaos Warrior halberd and gave him a shield as a buckler. Job done :smiley:

Super-blurred “Detail” of Champion



Next up are some characters. I’ll go into a little detail about each :wink:

First is a model from, I believe, Masselfree Miniatures. no conversion work, just a paaintjob. I get the impression that he’s too shiny and silver and I’ve JUST thought to chestnut ink his axe so that it matches my warriors’ weapons, but otherwise, I can’t think of how to dull him down whilst keeping his colour scheme fitting (so not inking the armour for example).

Front



I wanted to get a detail shot of the beard, as I’m very pleased with my “blue-black” beards and bluebeards, but my camera wasn’t having any of it :smiley:

Back



Next is a model from Slavebay. I believe it was from Lord Archaon, who completely sculpted the model himself. I paid just 65 slaves for him! (This was before I had my free moderator slaves and had built them up just like everybody else :smiley: ) I decided that I had enough sorcerers and so replaced his staff/halberd weapon for a Chaos Warrior (6th edition again) halberd, which I’ve tried to paint to look like obsidian, but it looks more like marble. Regardless, I like it and am very proud of the model. (I’m now considering having him as a unit champion for my warriors. I seem to have a LOT of CD characters.)

Detail



Last out of these heroes is my metal mage :smiley: He is made almost exclusively from plastic parts. His body and arms are a dwarf miner’s, the molten ball of lead is a plastic fanatic ball, greenstuffed onto the pointing hand (for the positioning). The rather unique weapon was just a pickaxe before I got to it :smiley: It has the hammerhead of one of the picks at the bottom, two pointy-ends of picks on the side, curving in an s shape and the wrench top from one for the cremen (I believe a BfSP one) on the other side. Behind him is a pile of coins that had a pole in them. Not a clue where this piece is from, if I’m honest :smiley: I think it’s the miners again actually. The pole may have originally been separate or I may have extended it :wink: It has a hammer-pick head on top and on the coins is the detonator device taken from the miners box. Hanging from the pole, midway, is a lantern from the miners box and a medallion type thing from a dwarf standard. The guy’s head is a Tzeentch character on disc one. Sounds complicated, but it’s not overly so :smiley: I like it :smiley:

The last thing is a single model. A prototype for my Chaos Dwarf Warriors made from a miner, a greenstuff beard and a pushpin hat :smiley: So far, I have made five, two of which will be unit champions. I have a slightly different variation without candles and have their original beards. I have made a tutorial to put on youtube, but youtube decided that it was too long, so I have to remake it and shorter. Just a sneak peek here :wink:

A link to the album, for those that wish to go back and look at the rest.

Comments and constructive criticism are welcome.

Warhammerman:

Cool, I like the spear chukka and the orcs too.

Hashut’s Blessing:

Warhammerman: you’ve yet to see my Orc Boyz unit. I found the front rank yo be very fun :smiley:

Slight update: I downloaded a file converter last night, but it wasn’t converting the sound. So, I downloaded a sound converter and it wasn’t working. To cut a long story short, I have converted the tutorial video into a format I can edit, but i has no longer got sound, not even on the original file for some reason. After the podcast last night (which I finished around 3:45am. Dedication to the website there :wink: ), I knew my microphone worked, so I downloaded some trial software for audio recording. Unfortunately, this lasts for just 30 days. I plan to, tonight or tomorrow, record a (hopefully clearer and more concise) audio for the video and edit the video down from 30mins to a usuable time. So, today or tomorrow, I should have a tutorial for you all :smiley:

Thorne:

Hitting those orcs up wiht a 1/1 wash of badab black ink would make them super awesome !

Hashut’s Blessing:

Thanks for the comment, Thorne. Where abouts on them would you suggest using it? All over or just on the skin or just the weapons? Also, a 1/1 Badab Black-what wash? Or just plain Badab Black?

Kera foehunter:

They look great Hb !!! it was worth the wait

* Hug * great job

Hashut’s Blessing:

Thank you very much, kera. I’m glad that it was worth the wait in the end. As it happens, I’m not great at painting in my opinion, but that’s more because I enjoy to convert things than anything else :smiley: I’m in the process of almost entirely scratchbuilding my first model, which is a goblin/night goblin shaman/great shaman that is the fattest goblin ever :wink: It will also be a handy unit filler for my hobgbolins or for any goblins I may use in this army :smiley:

I’m still trying to find the time to record a voice-over for my conversion video, which will then require heavy editing so that it is not only less boring, but also less time-consuming :smiley: Then, I can also post it onto Youtube. But, at the moment, I believe this will be my next update, which will then be followed by some pics of some more warriors and some bull centaurs, which will also get a tutorial alongside them :wink:
