Obsidian:
Hi,
As a centerpiece for my new Chaos Dwarf army I want to make a Kollossus. The reason for this topic is that I do have some ideas already and also have started a bit. It’s a pretty big project and one that I will work on on and off to prevent me getting bored with it!:rolleyes:
Now what I need help with is this:
What would be a good height? I know he towers above the rest and all but just how high should I make him, I don’t want to make it look off too much with the rest of the army.
I was thinking about fifteen centimeters max.
Also, quoted from the Wiki pages:
The Kollossus is described as a “great mechanical giant” with the head of a bull.[1] It is powered not only by machinery, but by the daemonic powers of bound-souls. It is made up of plated and riveted iron constructed in the shape of a great bull-headed man. It is crewed by Chaos Dwarfs, who ride within the armoured body. On its shoulders are firing platforms where additional Chaos Dwarf crew man flame-throwers which incinerate their enemies.[2] Inside the mouth of its bull-head lies a rapid-firing cannon. The Kollossus also uses its heavy feet to crush its foes.
I was thinking about making the Bull head like a cockpit rested slightly in between the shoulder platforms (which will be more like tiny cockpits as well) than on top like a human’s head. A bit like a hunchback so to say…
I want to get that Steam Punk feeling if you know what I mean, so could I use wooden parts to make it more fantasy looking (opposed to 40.000-ish) or are the Chaos Dwarfs way beyong using wood for their warmachines?
I thought I had Grudge Bearer lying around here somewhere but can’t find it. Does anybody know if the part about the battle with the Chaos Dwarfs is printed online anywhere as I would really like to read it again to gain even more inspiration.
Any tips, ideas and help is appreciated a lot!:cheers
P.s; hope this topic is in the right spot!:shy:
