My dark brethren

The boss on boar will have to wait because some fresh 60*100 mm bases just arrived. Adapter base for my big guy:

The flat surface near the slot is for a continuation of the lava pool. I will smoothen everything out some more before adding some texture paste, sand and rocks.

Sharing my progress on the adapter tray. I am still waiting for some tufts and bones but it’s basically done:

I needed an excuse to try Milliput (for the first time) so I made these four Strategic locations for the Matched Play Guide scenarios.

nice!

And how did you like milliput?

It’s alright, it’s more grainy than Green Stuff but seems more suitable for landscaping and would probably have been the better paste to shape the adapter tray above.

This was mostly to get a feel for it. I want to make a baggage train eventually and depending on the design, Milliput could serve some purpose there.

Yeah. I think where it really shines is how it works so well with a bit of water. Very smooth.

Btw, I ordered some goblins from MaxMini, very curious to see them IRL.

Neither grim nor dark is the beautiful Greek island of Symi, the place where my Chaos Dwarfs idea came to life. During breaks from the hot sun I would browse this forum, get inspired, and also order my first 3D prints.

One year later I can make various 2k builds using only painted models but there are many more ideas to realise. :ogre:

Like last year, it seemed dumb not to make use of the downtime, and since I found a newly established 3D printing service closer to home, I ordered some bull centaurs. White Angel miniatures has piqued my interest for some time now, but I haven’t seen them much around here yet. Do you guys have any experience?

I don’t have experience of those, but if they were printed with the scale of the FW models (i.e. bull centogres) they would be pretty cool imo

I don’t know the scale of the FW models, but here is the White Angel guy, printed at 28 mm scale, on a 75*50 mm base. Compared to a dwarf the size is fine, but it doesn’t exactly own its base.

I like how they turned out, in any case. They have a cool design, the right amount of detail, and seem sturdy enough.

I finished the last unpainted models before a GT the coming weekend:

My package from MaxMini has arrived, here are the Goblin Knives cleaned and put on bases. I need to get more square bases before I can do the Goblin Axes.

I just came back from my first two-day event. I managed to place 6/24 with my chaos dwarfs, which I’m very happy with! Here is the army shot:

Thank you!

I haven’t come around to paint much lately but here are the Bulltaurs, based and primed.

I tried them (3 BC + Taur’ruk) last night for the first time, against a nasty Troll Horde. They did well - killed a giant and some trolls - but got a bit too overconfident and charged a troll hag which did not end well (-2 to hit, double regeneration).

First four of the Sneaky gits. Going back to using more traditional paints rather than contrasts. I’m not too stoked about the result as they are a bit dark and dull, but I will keep adding new hair colours as I paint the rest. And I have finally found a rusted metal recipe that I like, so that’s a win.

I think they look great

I like them too. The black cloaks work well. Nothing wrong with varied skin tones in a unit. I think it looks better!
