Title: A Realms of Chaos project (and Bloodbowl)
Post by: Geckilian on January 19, 2020, 08:09:47 PM
Made a start on the next mini project, a realms-of-chaos warband. Two somewhat chaotic dwarves join the fray.

The plan is to add a third dwarf, a pair of goblins, a skaven beastmaster, a chaos warrior, a big brute to be the hammer of the warband and secondary centerpiece and the leader Alicia Flickerstave on her bequeathed disc of tzeentch and attendant library.

Cheers! Slightly more colourful members for the next pair, the first goblin and last Chaos Dwarf.

Most of the other shields will have similar oldhammer-esque designs.

That third dwarf with the alien head and massive hand cannon is quite creepy looking! Where is that model from?

Isn't that a metal 2nd ed Hormagaunt head?

Awesome painting all around btw; this will be a truly chaotic warband! 8)

Cheers everyone, the dwarf is a GW Dwarf Irondrake with, indeed, an old metal Hormagaunt head. I love how they look, I used one on an older Bloodcrusher conversion too.

I agree with others here - that Chaos Dwarf with the orange alien head is excellent, but I have to say, the blue shield on the goblin steals it for me! Beautiful!

Cheers! I did enjoy the dwarf - his colours reminded me of my old Bloodbowl dark elf team, Elf Insurance, so I dug them out for a look and remembered I had some of the newer models. As such I quickly painted up a test Blitzer and made a start on a lineswoman, but I'll likely jump back to a warband figure afterwards. May as well add them to this log - they're still fantasy after all.

Here he is compared to an old linesman conversion too.

Lovely job. I paticularly like the Chaos Dwarf conversion and the bloodbowl minis.

Cheers!

Ended up continuing down the Bloodbowl path, finishing up that lineswoman and converting up, then painting, a witch elf.

Thanks Lost Egg!

Blood Bowl has unfortunately taken over a bit, as my regular Titanicus opponent asked me if I could teach him how to play in a week and a half, so I've been continuing to work on the team. Got another linesman converted and painted up, as well as the runner.

Which puts me up to a happy 5.

I've already converted up 3 more blitzers and another 3 linesmen, so all that's left to make is a single witch elf, which will probably require heavier chopping.

Just a note that Bloodbowl normally goes in the Other Adventures Board. I can move the Bloodbowl stuff there for you if you like? The conversions and painting are excellent though and it's nice to see them. A dedicated Bloodbowl thread would at least let the Bloodbowl players who may frequent the Other Adventures Board see this lovely work. Please don't stop with the posts!

I love the stark white helmets.

I like the bold painting, really striking look. Very cool!

I get that Elk101, but as I already had a fantasy log I'd only just started, figured I'd add them here. Cheers guys, I went with white helmets for the old scheme to help them stand out since they were a bit darker. Figured I'd keep them for the nice contrast.

Managed to get another 2 linesmen done, as well as started converting an alternate Witch (Warlock) Elf so I don't have to have any duplicate poses. Just waiting on a pair of runner legs to arrive that I can also convert.

Gotta say, I'm very pleased with how all their eyes are turning out, I've been managing to get them looking in the directions I want! Pretty exciting for me, heh. All that's left to do for the team now is 3 blitzers, 1 linesman and the warlock elf.

The remaining 3 blitzers are all painted, as well as the top half of the Warlock Elf as it'll likely be a couple more days before his legs turn up. The last linesman is just green highlights, head and base tufts away from being too, so pretty close!

After this next linesman is done I'll likely paint up the remaining two quad bikes for my C100 Marine Rogue Trader project as they arrived as that essentially finishes that project's first wave, then it'll be back to the remaining 6 models left in the warband project - the leader herself and her library, big gribbly, chaos warrior, skaven packmaster and the final goblin.

Very nice conversion work!  :o

Cheers! I actually got round to finishing the team, sans numbers, yesterday as the runner legs turned up earlier than expected!

The whole team, and some shots of each row -

So, back to sci-fi and fantasy for a bit till the next BB team(s), heh.

They look cracking...now to get back to your warband :D
Title: Re: A Realms of Chaos warband project (and Bloodbowl - Dark Elves finished!)
Post by: Geckilian on January 30, 2020, 10:50:42 PM
Hah, certainly. I got 2 more finished up today - the second (and last) goblin and the skaven packmaster that'll be goading the warband's big gribbly into battle.

(https://i.imgur.com/cCx2d47.jpg)

They're all quite short currently, but the remaining 4 members are much taller and should help to vary up the height.

Love the shield...he looks a little disgruntled like he's trying to peak forward.

Wow!! Awesome painting! I really like your blue, green, and orange scheme for the blood bowl elves. Any possibility of getting a tutorial on how you did them??
Thanks!
LS :)

Whoops, been painting stuff and not really updated here. Which part of the painting process did you want to know about LazyStudent? For the most part it's base colour, shade, 2-3 layers of highlights per colour.

I've converted up 2 more BB elves in case I ever run a variation of elf team that requires 4 catchers, as well as made a start on a Chaos Dwarf team. I also got a cheerleader and frog done as tokens for when they're needed.

Those shields are hilarious! And your bloodbowl teams are so smoothly painted  :-*
