Something of interest to you all I’m sure. I’ve found someone who will contract cast models for me in resin very quickly and for a very reasonable rate. Which I will be using in preference to Troll Forged for things in the short term because of his workload and the really, really slow turnaround.
So the elite dwarfs here and the bull when they’re done I’ll need to get an indication of likely interest before deciding my next move. The elite dwarfs I could probably keep nearer £2.30 ish each, maybe, depending on the final cost. I wouldn’t be out to price gouge for those, but get a reasonable return.
I think I’ll start a new thread soon for the bull, because I was doing some work last night on the scales, trying to come up with something that looked a bit more ‘natural’. What I ended up with was a mix of organic scales and lava texturing. Which would be a reasonable compromise as I was never planning on doing the whole thing like lava or just skin, and I quite like the scales in principle.
The scales look a little bit like tyranid ones actually. I’ll do a bit more then take some pics.
Whilst I happen to be replying, something I was thinking today is that if I do get it cast I think I’ll make one with a magma cannon on and some swivel flame throwers on the sides. :hashut
It looks better than before that’s for sure. But still, I would prefer to have it less covered in scales/armour (that’s my personal taste at last:P). I was imagining it a sort of mechanical/organic monster full of cracks in its skin leaking lava and fire, whit just a few bits of armour around its neck, shoulders and thighs.
I think you’re doing the scales just about right. At first I thought the un-scaled bull looked better even though I liked the scale idea, but now I’ve changed my mind. This will make a great balrogish K’daai.

This model has been shelved temporarily until I can find someone to cast it. I think I’ll rework some parts as well, reduce the number of parts. It’s otherwise finished though, these are old WIP shots.
Also a WIP orc, as I happen to be posting. I plan to make a unit of 15 mixing the boar boy torsos with black orc legs, plus the 10 savage orcs. All converted to regular boys.
And an old one I did a while back. I’ve swapped the shield to a 2nd hand weapon.
