[Archive] SMM Moscals: Scibors new miniatures

GRNDL:

I think they might work better if they were articulated, mechanical snails? Perhaps modelled on an extinct ancient beast?

They are very unique, though, I’ll give you that. So if that is your dedicated vision and where you want to take them, by all means, sculpt away!

Scibor:

I plan make snails as animals not machines , there is idea for them in our fantasy world , we will describe it when models will be ready.

As I wrote we will also make some mechanical models.

It is fast sketch but I hope idea is shown :slight_smile:

Big distiller with guns “horylkovar”

GRNDL:

Now THAT is very Chaos Dwarfy, IMO!! Give us more like that!! Love it!

Henroth:

Teapots with legs ? x.x well… OK.

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Welcome aboard Scibor!

Love the look of your dwarfs! Are you making a seporate game for the snails?

Zanko:

Do You have any other proposition for weapon placed on snail.
I sketched it with gun, but maybe other idea?

Scibor
What´s about a single rocket launcher!? Or an organ gun in the old Stalin´s organ pipes style!

IMO that will rock! :hat off

           :hashut

GRNDL:

@Henroth

Its a mobile distillery. If the guns were flamers/flamethrowers fueled by the alchohol brewing inside, its dead on Chaos warfy, IMO

Ghrask Dragh:

Welcome aboard Scibor!

Everything about these makes me want to collect them, another original idea after another, would like to see the palaquin and the “horylkovar” looks very cool and funny indeed!

Thanks for posting these, role on next month!!

:cheers

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Would the Horylkovar look better with arms that were articulated flame throwers? Much like the 40K Ork Killa Kans?

clam:

Hmmm! snails?

The artwork is very cool and it’s certainly not anything we have seen before - that’s for sure :hat off And I would really like to see that artillery snail sculpted :smiley:

But I really can’t see them as evil Chaos Dwarf creatures - so, no snails in my army, sorry :wink: And I must admit that I would have preferred a mutated daemon bound evil creature instead - but that’s just me - or just plain simple bears (think that would really suit the big hats).

And then again they are not Chaos Dwarfs - they are Moscals :smiley:

Ishkur Cinderhat:

I think it depends on the setting. Maybe the lands of the Moscals are better suited to chaos snails than the ashen wastelands of Zharr Naggrund (that is, most certainly, I am sure). I’ve seen a conversion of a Nurgle-themed beastmen chariot being pulled by two giant war snails so I can imagine they might work quite well.

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I think the snails should be pulling something massive. some type of heavy war chariot. Snails may be slow, but they might have a lot of power in them. Therefore, the concept of them pulling something heavy at a slow pace would make sense.

Perhaps a platform with 20 cannons on it? :smiley:

Kera foehunter:

that cute !! i love the snail and the canon !!

Thanks for joining the site !! Scibor !!!

I second this. It would make it look more threatening and less walking teapot. Anyway walking distillery/brewery is brilliant concept for dwarfish war machine, Chaos or not.

Bassman:

A walking distillery/brewery of doom? Killing/bombing your enemies while it provide you with beer/wodka? :o this is a dream machine!! I want it, right now! :cheers :cheers This is a dwarf’s dream coming true! :slight_smile:

I’m curious about the dimension of the machine and how you’ll be able to realize/cast it. Multi part kit? How much it will cost? Hope not too expensive… :expressionless:

i thought people should see these

Ishkur Cinderhat:

Well bear in mind that these seem to be pressmoulded GS conversions, not resin miniatures, which I would expect the Moscals to be once they are in production.

The miniature that I got after GH8 was nicely scuplted and cast. I guess when people buy the pressmoulded pieces they expect Forgeworld quality and forget that they buy individually handmade pieces.

If you pick apart a hand made, uncast piece, then of course you're going to find a couple flaws. The piece wasn't made to be configured any way other than the way it was sold, so why expect to be able to pick it apart and find perfectly sculpted detail underneath that would be hidden by the details that you just picked away?

Seems like a kid who picks apart action figures and is disappointed when they figure out it's not actually held together by articulated muscles and sinews.
Put the details on the way it was intended and I'm sure it would look exactly like the CMoN picture.

The question remains though how much turning around will the miniature "survive" before showing its "ugly side". If it will only look good from a very specific angle then that's not very good. While its probably best to ignore most posts, especially at FU UK, the pics does show some issues that it probably pay to address.
Reminds me of hamburgers. I never quite seem to get something looking like the pictures on the menu either.

Breten:

So has anyone actually purchased these and have a review of them? I still think they look fantastic.
