Adding another unit, this time some bull centaurs! These are the very same that I was gifted by @Hashoooot. Same as most of the other guys, these centaurs are also breathing some nice collected slaughtered souls, this time, from the rocketeer jetpack (just flipped upside down).
The rest of the job was done with some greenstuff to make their rebreathers and piping. Then, it was time for the paintjob. I decided to go for flags on their backs.
Sorry for the late reaction (I took another break from my CD activities)!
Love those bull centaurs! You really made the dynamic poses shine! I’m also super impressed by the subtle combination of corporate design and individualization in the details - another great achievement!
I have been admiring the Endrinriggers for a while now, and wanting to own a kit or two to turn them into SOMETHING. I got myself a kit last year, and got gifted another by my brother-in-law, so it was only time until I figured something out. So here they are, my flying Acolytes of Hashoooooot.
As is usual for our community, it all starts with hats.
Printed these bad boys in all shapes and sizes, collecting a variety of ones that were too big, or too small. So I chopped off the tops of the endrinriggers’ heads, and put those beauties on. Then, it was time for Greenstuff!
I was then ready to paint. For the base, I printed off some previously plane cut Bestiarium Miniatures deck from their blimp (Nov 21 Patreon, I believe).
Just what Hashut was missing: Ariel mobility! An alliance between the 3 facets of Hashut (Walhut, Hashoot, and Hashut) would make for a real joint ops play. Imagine the Navy, Airforce, and Army working in concert, but everyone is an angry beared dwarf. Old World Super Power Right here! Didn’t someone make an ICBM too?
Printing, digital hacking, and traditional sculpting all at play in a unit! Arise ye servants of the Chaos Dwarf Outer Gods, Hashoot has come to bargain.
So, I’m gonna be honest in admitting that I never thought I’d make a human model for my Karak Vlag legions, but when the Artisan’s Contest XXXV came around, I had to throw my attempt in with the gods of this discourse. I had previously found a 3d sculpt of the Rock with his quizzical look and thought it was hilarious, planning on making a Rock marine out of him, so it didn’t take long to shift him over to a Horn of Hashut human follower.
This was definitely my most ambitious Artisan entry so far, since I started from scratch with a wire mesh. I use a darkoath chieftain from the Silver Tower set to mark height and sizes of his body parts.
I then went ham in sculpting up his details. The biggest hurdle I found was how little one could accomplish in a single sitting, since the greenstuff had to cure in between almost every layer.
Once the body was done, I printed the head, and started adding the details, horns, chains, and lamellar armor. Since I still needed him to fit in my army, I used the LK impaled slaves and set them up for some “life draining” so that the rest of the chaos scarred army could continue to enslave the rest of the eastern empire with their life force.
Last negative addition to the BATG for the year. I printed some blunderbuss guys, using some spare bits from a longbeards. Some printing, creative chopping, and some more greenstuff, and the guys were ready:
The champion is by far my favorite since I had to give him some well needed rhinoplasty, since I forgot to remove a support until it was painted, caved, tried to take it off, taking his nose off in the process
