[Archive] My Dwarf Factory [Snotling's Thread]

Borador:

well, I just like hidden faces :) and with scarfs they also lean on my Blunderbussers. I will paint the clothes in different colours, in brown and grey-tones, maybe sometimes in a grey-green. Their clothes should look dirty and... like rags shpudl look like ^^
...by the way, the scarfs and hoods would look much better if I would had my clay shaper at the time I made them... clay shapers for the win! ^^

Snotling
I was thinking of these in all sorts of colours for my archers just because it would be fun to paint ;P but indeed, their clothes should look dirty in my opinion aswell, looking forward to seeing them painted =]

Snotling:

Oh yeah, I allrady tried this pattern here…



but it didn’t work so good. But it was also a problem of the darkcolours, when to make white scarfes the palestinian pattern comes out better.

Rhazzouth:

Very good work on the archers.

For their colours…

I was stay in Mongolia and their colour preference is red.

And the bows are very similar than mongolians bows(not exactly but very similar:D).I have one in my house!

Borador:

cool paintjob on that mini snot! The scarf pattern indeed works pretty well on white, but IMO it looks pretty awesome on your mini aswell, only visible if you take a close look.

Kawazu:

Great work Snotling! As usual :wink:

I love the steampunk feeling you’re able to give to your minis.

Snotling:

I was stay in Mongolia and their colour preference is red.

Rhazzouth
And they would look probably nice in red and red is also my army colour (in some way... ^^), But when I paint red, it looks most time pretty clean and bright. I wand my archers in dusty dirty colours. Now that you mentioned that... I really should think about the colours, at least a little red would be good. On the other hand, the Sooties are no regular part of a CD army, they are an allied tribe (Fluff stuff, whatever :)), so no red could simbolive their seperation from my army.
And without red, they would look more Steampunk, Imho :)

Snotling:

Hey there!

I just finished my second CD sorcerer. I made two, one for the GH and… another one. I build them together, but then my time ran out and I had to decide which one I will paint to send him to the GH. This little fella lose :). Now that I finished him, I pretty happy with my decision because compared to the other one, he looks kind of boring… not many colours and stuff. But for the mini it is pretty cool, he is an engineer and the colour sheme represents that pretty well, looks kind of materialistic and industrial… imho.

Well okay, as you see, he is made of the BfSP engineer. I wanted to convert him since I made my shadow sorcerer, but the ideas were loked in my head and I didn’t really know how to convert him exactly. But this is what I love about the Golden Hat, it made me think about this mini more than before and I finally did it. In the end, I’m happy with the result, he is far away from being my personal favourite, but I like him. And he is definately the most steampunky CD I made till now! YAY! :hat off

The white stuff is plasticard, the green stuff is Green Stuff, his hand from the Hellcannon Crew and the bags and tools on his back were from the Miners.

He is a Metal Lore sorcerer, an Arcane Engineer or a Deamonsmith.

'nuff said, there he is:





Comments welcome… that’s why I post him here :hat off

tjub:

He’s cool, Im not a fan of the face maskes on CDs but other than that its ace! The bulls head gives him chatacter, and the painting is really nice too. Actually it only makes me looking forward to the revealing of the GHXI entrys even more…

Servius:

Im liking it Alot… The Mask has a bit too much going on and gives a cluttered feel to the model though

Loki:

Your work never ceases to amaze me, he looks great I really like the iron bull head staff that looks really cool, if you say this one looks boring compared to your golden hat entry I cant wait to see the one you entered :smiley:

clam:

So this guy lost - lol

Now I’m really looking forward to see your entry :smiley:

This guy is awesome - really like the backpack and the Bull headed tool - and he is painted beautifully - like usual.

Forgefire:

Seriously cool sorcerer, i am epsecially fond of the pipes jutting out from his backpack. great work!

Snotling:

Thanks guys! Yepp, he looks a little cluttered as Servius said, but he is a sorcerer AND a Chaosdwarf, two reasons to clutter him as hell :hat off

I also tried to make something like a hybrid between big hats and masks, he has both ^^

Kawazu:

Awesome! I might steal a couple of things for my second hellcannon crew, if you don’t mind :wink:

Snotling:

hehe, your welcome! I’m curious how you recycle my stuff ^^

Arashi:

Nice sorcer Snotling, I really like the bull idea on the staff.

Bassman:

I’m not really into the mask but the rest is awesome.I love the grinding device as a backpack with smokestacks and everything… ace!

If this is the discarded one, I could not imagine the chosen one for GH… no hope for us lesser mortals :wink:

Hazkar:

nice mini

the bull headed tool is looking really cool

and the way you painted the fire…awesome

wish i could paint like you

great stuff

Snotling:

Oh, you can paint like me, It’s all about practise and I am still not that hardcore like some of the guy at cool mini or not ^^. I promise I will make some turtorials, then you can see that it’s not that difficult ^^. I think during the work on my second BB unit a step-by-step turtorial is possible, but before I need some warmachines and maybe some wolf riders. But I can make a metal turtorial when I paint my Death Rocket.

Snotling
If that's the case - I don't understand why this 'people pleaser' didn't make it - lol

Now, I'm really expecting something spectacular.
