[Archive] My cheap-skate Chaos Dwarfs on a budget. (Working on new stuff)

Kera foehunter:

well if you want a diffrent tail just use a paper clip and add a tuff of hair at the end !!

i love the taurus Bolg

Bolg:

Thanx Kera foehunter, that could look very nice, but i’ll have to continue that hairy look trough  my entire army, and it a bit late for that.

I Just got my hands on this:

10 complete horses and some chaos shields and bits! and as I love the centaurs so much, i’m gonna make me a second unit (and a bigger hero).
will make more process pics this time (:

And I also got my hands on this:

A Lamasu with no head. and i’ve got great plans (great plans in my book).

Bolg:

Oh look, I made 3 already:

(but the 3dr picture came up a blur so you see only 2 and neither you or I are crazy)

This time I made enough pictures to write a half decent tutorial, Is there anybody interested?

Unfortunately I only had 3 unpainted slayers left. so now there are 7 painted slayers swimming in thinner as I write this. Still got 12 painted left for in my dwarf army. i’m not found of repainting good mini’s but as always i’m on a budget.

Loki:

Great work once again Blog, i am looking forward to seeing what you do with the Lamasu body dont keep us waiting to long :slight_smile:

furrie:

He will turn it in to a flying bullcentaur :stuck_out_tongue:

and nice work on the bullcentaurs blog. The have a realy smooth transition between the upper body and the lower body.

Bolg:

Thanx furrie

2nd centaur unit is 9 man strong, need 2 more models for a army Battle standard and one extra for the unit.

work on the lamasu isnt started jet…

Kera foehunter:

so what did you do with the slayer bottom half??

Bolg:

@ Kera foehunter

they go in the bits box, never throw anything away. (I used one set of shoes for my lord on taurus)

Today I discovered that some of the slayers I used to make the centaur are 3rd edition dwarfs, now I feel a bit bad. I cut up very old minies for my conversion. If i had known they where that old I wouldn’t have destroyed them. The only thing I can do now is paint them very well…

please dont hate me.

dncswlf:

Hey, don’t think of it as destroying them… just putting them to new use! It is tough to modify something that seems classic… but hey, if you have a use for it, go for it! can’t wait to see the finished products!

Bolg:

Thanx dncswlf, still feel a bit bad but I never plan on selling anyways.

Here are 8 of the nine that are now finished:

I had some complains that my centaur hero didnt stand out enough (no wonder id you build the complete unit out of Giant slayers) so I made a second hero (top left) so I can swap both hero’s from the units, will make it more obvious. I’m still adding a bit of armour to his body but I already thing he’s very hero like, he’s waving a freaking anvil as heavy weapon!
Bottom right is the last Giant slayer I had, he was going to be the next hero but I like anvil dude better so I gave him a banner pole (banner will come later) I plan to use him as my centaur BSB later.

That reminds me, he has to be finished by tomorrow evening, ill better get started than.

Loki:

Awesome work Bolg they look totally ace :slight_smile: really like the guy with the anvil as a great weapon great use of the iron breakers standard top, i have one of them laying around so will have to put to good use :slight_smile:

Bolg:

Thanx Loki, you recognized the iron breakers standard top. I removed it from my Obsidians/Iron breakers as I like all(most) my banner tops to be hammers. (the 3dr edition plastic one from the army kid with loads of different troops in it)

Borador:

DUDE! EPISCH! ((translation: Dude! Epic!))

Truely amazing =]

Zanko:

I must agree with the other guys!

Really awesome work - just stunning! :cheers

Now I’m eager to see them painted! Will you choose the same paint scheme which you used by your 1st Centaurs?

My favourite mini is the left lower one! :wink:

Bolg
Lol !! we don't hate you for that !!
but i cut up a lot of oop figures too. but your slayer centaur are so cool throw

Bolg:

Thanx everyone (:

@ Borador

mijn dank is groot (My Thanx is great)

@Zanko

will paint then roughly the same as the other unit yes. and I know what you mean, he’s just slowly advancing with that great hammer, not something you wanna face on the battlefield (:

@Kera

Thanx, I feel a bit better now. but dont you cut up too many oop’s yourself, I stillm think its a bit of blasphemy.

3 models are undercoated as we speak, I was planning to paint them tonight but then a friend called me an challenged me to a game…

more pic’s when they get finished but i’ve got another itch that needs scratching… recently I tried bidding on a swivel gun, but they are insanely expensive, only got my hand on one of the crew. but a swivel gun isnt that difficult to build from scratch I think. will give it a try soon ( sorry lamasu project is moved back a bit)

Bolg:

I’m so happy, just got my hands on this model:

I think its a 40K squat (not sure) my local ‘GW’ shopkeeper showed it to me while I was playing a friendly game in the store. I reacted a bit to enthusiastic but still only payed �,� 3 for it. I’m going to convert it to the coolest blunderbuss champion ever (that could double for a hero with the hailfire gun from the Indy list).

So much to do and so little time…

Borador:

wow! nice mini! show us what it will look like after you’re done with him =D

looking forward to seeing him finished!

And about the time issue: just keep on working at the same speed, you’ll make it =]

Bolg:

Thanx! Will do (:
