i think the head on the great taurus may be a bit big and also the dwarf lord may be a bit bg but apart from that it looks great, how long did it take you to do
How much of that bull is sculpted? really great job on the painting, the taurus skin looks like muscle and sinew :sick I would like to see some pics of the rider up close, his beard guard looks impressive, I think it’s all a very good conversion!!
Surprisingly little is sculpted on the bull. It’s a cheap $3 horse from Wal-Mart combined with a Bull from a farm set. I used the horses body and the feet and head of the bull; The tail is a marauder flail and the wings are from a schleich dragon.
that model is really cool but i would have to agree the tail is a bit too small. it is really good for your first try at a chaos dwarf, I hope to see more from you.
That is quite large and impressive! I’m wondering what made you start with the Great Taurus as a starting point for a CD army. Most people would just be content converting the BFSP figures.
The head of the bull is just… Wow! The face really has monster’s expression.:hashut Not angry or evil, just a bestial calm look. The whole mini really gives the feeling of power. Love it!
I’m not sure why I started with this one… I remember looking through old GW catalogs years ago, and that was one of my favorite models.
I played it this weekend and my friend’s Chaos army was totally scared of it; he refused to let his lord come into combat with it (probably because I’d already slaughtered 2 units with it… )
The only thing I can criticize about this beast is the slightly glossy finish. other than that my big hat is off you, that is an extremely dynamic pose and looks fabulous.
yeah, I meant to mention that earlier… I started using a clear coat that wasn’t the official GW one, and I think that’s what did it, although it’s not as noticeable on smaller units… :mask
whew! still trying to get ready in time for the May 9 Armies on Parade in Baltimore. Here’s my recent completions; I’m almost done with a unit of 10 wolfriders as well…
