Reaver of Uzkulak :

Marvellous work, sir! Indeed a new take on Chaos Dwarfs, and a fine aesthetic at that. Tjub is onto something with Zharr Vyxa here. And thanks for letting us use the bazooka pictures! Due credit always given. :)

Admiral
From the little I know about Zharr Vyxa and AoS in general, I envision some kind of infernal soul harvesting oil rig ziggurat with maintenance blimps and diving bells.

Reaver of Uzkulak :

WIP from my Golden Hat XXXIII entry. The Runemaster’s staff was just begging to become a pyromancer’s hat and I had been tossing around concepts to incorporate Fyreslayers in conversions. When the flaming bull endless spell was released I had a bit more of an idea formulated but struggled with indecision for a while. The Golden Hat motivated me to make some choices and move forward. I didn’t have any faces that I liked so I went ahead and hacked one together with green stuff. Took a leap of faith with the flowing lava texture on his base too.

Oxymandias:

Outstanding work sir. Very creative and original take on chorfs

Antenor:

Beautifully sculpted details. I especially love his mask! Great work :hat off

Thanks! It's semi inspired by Bloodborne, as is one of my K'daai heads.

Reaver of Uzkulak :

Introducing (again) Izkesh the Baleful with a little fluff from my lore book. Excited to finally post this here after all of the time working toward the Golden Hat. :hat

PSA: Highly recommend Warcolours paints especially those looking to experiment with wet blending. The consistency and working time is perfect for applications like fire & lava. I snagged the speciality fire set and had a blast working with them.

tjub:

Splendid model, great conversion and painting. Your art and description really bring the model to life.

And thanks for the WC tip, Ill give it a try… :slight_smile:

Zanko:

I must agree Tjub, it is a great model! :cheers

Awesome idea, super modeled and brilliantly painted! I can only take my hat off (a little jealous of your creativity and skills)! :hat off

:o Thanks! Hard not to be inspired by all of the myriad creations on this site over the years. I still have a long way to go, should be a fun trip though. :hat

Reaver of Uzkulak :

Quick update on a few troop filler ideas I finally completed for my slave unit. The hand pump cart idea started off with just the lever rat but ended up turning into a sort of doom-flayer go-cart which I’m fine with. I leaned right into that skid with the lantern on flagpole and bar/windscreen. The rat in the mine cart was mostly because i ran out of legs and also since I find it suitably Skaven.





Uther the unhinged:

Lovely conversions. Truly very shaven, in a good way. J really like the feel you have got for your army, dark and dangerous.

Abecedar:

They are very nicely done. Back in the old days I always did have a soft spot for the Snotling pump wagons

Reaver of Uzkulak :

Second half of my Golden Hat entry with a few WIP pictures. Received these 6 K’Daai in used condition and decided to make my own heads and swap weapons to create some variety. Put a little extra work into the Manburner and gave him a hat to top it off. Pulled in a few bits from the Fyreslayer Pyromancer conversion to tie them together. :hat





Admiral:

Wonderful work in your entry, on both halves! These are the best K’daii Fireborn ever converted (especially heads and weapon swaps), and some of the best painted I’ve ever seen. Clearly gold. :hat off

Uther the unhinged:

Utterly gorgeous. A worthy winner, you got my vote

Gargolock:

Wonderful Work! You are very skilled! I love heads. Excited to see what you do next.

I'm greatly honored, thank you all for the kind words. I hope my future work stays up to snuff. The Fireborn have long been among my favorite Forgeworld models and I'm happy to finally have some painted up.

Reaver of Uzkulak :

Hellcannon hot off the forge. Been tinkering away at this one for a while now. Got this ol’ metal model used and it needed serious help. Not to mention the base required extra work to make places for the crew to be magnetized and recessed within the rock and also to pin the monstrosity securely through the base. Ended up not using some of the bits since I kind of like it slightly stripped down, great pieces for future conversions too. Opted for this scheme to differentiate the purple daemonic soul magic from the lore of fire. Not much here in the conversion department but I’m happy to have this classic ready for the table.





tjub:

Great work on both the Kdaii and the Hellcanon! :hat off

Admiral:

My favourite model! Beautiful work, master painter! As always. :hat off
