Plunder for the Ironclad Fleet [Sep 20 2024 - Feral Dampf]

Excellent, you are taking a few more steps down the dark path of chaos halflings, it draws us on inexorably to the ultimate conclusion that is:

Chaos halfings are the way

The max mini are great, but a man with your converting skills may enjoy the wargames atlantic box of 40 plastics? A legion could follow…?

Yes indeed! And other folks have started adding to it. If you get results definitely post them up or any recommendations on improvement.

Presenting the Vulgar Militia on Deathcargot!

The kitbash concept started with the wonderful snails from OSM’s Wastelands line. Spare fishy bits from @LaketideMiniatures went along for the ride figuring I’d want a unit of six… uhh… something… These models languished a while as piles of bits. Something loosely turnip, not fitting on cav bases, not hobgobliny, awkward in concept…

Eventually… I latched onto the gnoblars as base models for riders due to posing but wanted something more reminiscent of vulgar militia from Elden Ring. Strutting around Elden Ring with two big ol bloody Vulgar Militia Saws is my favorite build. Weapon bits and easy conversion ideas of ragged cloth allowed me to fill the gaps my bits box was stalling me on. Salvation was also found for this unit… amongst dark eldar bits? There’s some tomb king arms, and a Tyranid mace tail… real shells… kinda a whole mess… I just kinda glued stuff together and wished all the problems away with strips of cloth green stuffing.

Painting was good fun, falling into place with a similar palette as my turnippy clothgoblins. Hopefully some dwarfs of this style are in my near future.

Vallejo dead flesh puts in most of the heavy lifting here… Then it was just wayyyy too many different brown paints… touches of my favorite warcolours violet and pink.

Overall they’re fun little goobers and I quite like them. I may just loot this style of painting for my Kroot.

Evil dwarf brethren, I return to you from the realm of helm. A long journey it was but I dare say I will return.

Some credit here to the Golden Hat to spur my boars into action. Once I painted one, I definitely enjoyed charging through the rest.

As usual a unit is nothing without some filler. The cart is from Red Bard while the mini pigs were farm toys dressed up with Tjublings (only minor re-sculpting involved). Skullmask Tubatjub haemonculus on pig is my favorite as well as the happy boar rider out for a joy ride in the back right.

For anyone considering a foray into Zodd’s Pastel Palace Playland Action Park. Consider this pile of paints a warning.

I still have OSM heavy boar knights left as well as a small boar centaur unit.
