Da Crusha:

love the hobgoblins and robot dude.

Grimstonefire:

@Skink.

He has stormvermin torso and arms (the champion parts for the arms). Head is a gretchin, the topknot is from the chaos warriors sprue. Sword on his back is from the empire knights I think.

I’ve got some more of the ‘no more nails’ glue (very strong glue you pump out of a tube for DIY projects). So now I can carry on with the bull.

The lamassu is from Raging Heroes, back when they sold the Manticore and the head together.

...Actually as far as I know some of the Forum's rookies (sorry guys;P!) got a recast of the raging heroes lammasu head from a not-so-clear source. Also, raging heroes still sells the head slightly retouched and it's now called "Shedu Head".

Grimstonefire:

Mine was from Raging Heroes.  I got the manticore + head free if you recall for suggesting it. :wink: I was thinking only this morning that I really should get round to sculpting a rider for it.

Grimstonefire:

As it’s been a while I thought I’d give a small update (no pics).

CHAOS DWARFS

I’ve been painting up hobgoblins for the last few months, it feels like.  As it stands at the moment:

2 hand weapons:  23 painted, 7 unpainted

Bows:  9 painted, 7 unpainted, 4 yet to be assembled

Wolf Riders:  8 painted.  2 unpainted

Infernal Guard:  6(?) painted, 12 unpainted/ unassembled

Bull Centaurs:  1 in the process of being converted, 2 unassembled

K’daai/ Battleragers:  1 in the process of being converted, 1 unassembled

Death Shrieker:  Painted

Magma Cannon:  Assembled, unpainted

Iron Daemon:  Assembled, unpainted

Cinderbreath:  Needing reassembly due to an accident :(  Unpainted.

Lamassu:  Needing a rider.  Needs painting finished.

5 x hero/lord on foot:  2 painted (in need of rebasing), 3 unpainted.

Destroyer:  No further on sadly.

NURGLE

In the last few weeks I have been busy painting up nurgle things;

I bought a pack of the new nurglings and will be turning the 3 bases into 6.  I’ve painted one base up so far in Tamurkhan colours and they look really evil.

I’m planning to paint up the 5 bases of nurglings, 4 plague toads and maybe 10 (now old metal) plaguebearers before returning to the hobgoblin slog.  Should be done in a couple of weeks I think.

I also have a load of WoC I bought recently that need stripping and reassembling.  So my Woc/Doc ‘army’/ collection will be so far:

10 chaos hounds

10 plague hounds (VC wolves)

5 marauder horsemen with flails

5 marauder horsemen with hw & shield

5 or so knights

10 (metal) chosen that I will be dedicating to a god other than nurgle (or perhaps going the Undecided approach)

5 Plague Toads

6 Nurgling Bases

About 6 or so Chaos Lords/ Heroes, mounted and unmounted.

I want to get the Chaos Warriors from AoW when he finally improves production.  Some new Marauders from GW soon as well.

Grimstonefire:

An update on the Bull Centaur, as I’ve been working quite a bit on him this week.  Once I establish the armour design etc the other 2 will be faster.

The greenstuff shoulderpad is a bit of daemonic armour.  I’ve decided that with the armour details they look a lot like the dwarf part of Chaos dwarfs, but they are lacking a chaotic feel.  So each model will have some daemonic armour somewhere.  The axe will probably end up being fairly mundane, but I was tempted to give him a daemonic axe as well.

The horns I will be sculpting a lot of detail on them, that’s going to be very tricky actually.



bas_2312:

That’s amazing! Great job:)

CopperPot:

Very nice grim.

This message was automatically appended because it was too short.

Skink:

…Forgeworld, was it really that difficult?

Thank you Grim for restoring my faith in Bull centaurs. Once again your sculpting proves awesome.
EDIT: is that a Great Taurus on the chest plate? That’s impressive.

Bolg:

Thanx for sharing the WIP pic Grim, it looks great!

Remember there is not something like to many pictures so keep the updates coming (:

Zanko:

Kudos Grim! :hat off

This is the way the BCs must look! :cheers

Admiral:

That Bull Centaur is impressive to boot. I’m not sure if I dare show it to a friend of mine who have recently bought three FW Bull Centaurs, because he is not afraid to make me convert his models extensively. :wink:

To help bring forth the Chaotic, I’d have sculpted some daemonic armour just like you’re about to do, but also add an eight-pointed star of Chaos to his helmeted forehead.

Da Crusha:

Whoa sweet Bull Centaur! definitely gives it a better chaos dwarf feel. the original model fits better in a beastmen army imo.

Grimstonefire:

Cheers all.

@Skink.

Yes, it’s a bull centaur copied from another bit of armour somewhere. On the armour on his thigh area there is a chaos dwarf with a whip and a few bowing slaves. Unfortunately he will be mostly covered by that big armour plate, but that’s why the others will be quicker because I won’t spend ages sculpting things that won’t be seen much.

Mr Saturday:

Fantastic conversion, makes me take notice of the FW bull centaurs again.

Adam D:


Been a while since I was able to update this.  Boring real world stuff keeping me very busy.

I've been trying hard to make progress on my hobgoblins.  I've got a unit of 30 with 2 hand weapons, 20 with bows, 10 wolf riders.  All pretty much assembled with some requiring heads.





Grimstonefire
Just curious what arms did you use for this conversion mate.

Kera foehunter:

Looks good,Its always great to see more of your projects.

The beard and the armor is some great!!! Your green stuff skills is a wow

Golder Goldeater:

Adam D
They look like skaven arms

JMR:

Mildly off-topic, but did anything ever come from your Troll-Forged adventure, Grim?
