I've fallen into Shadespire

[mellis1644]

Wow really impressive. Love the boards !

[randycarter]

Fantastic take on Stormcasts, really good job!

Nice conversions. And yes, I like Shadespire too. A lot.
Tbh, I became sort of a GW-fanboy the last couple of months. Like their games, like their models. Who would have guessed after a GW-hiatus of 15+ years.. 

Your resistance is low.
I think they make a pill for that.  :-)

I finished the other statue warbands

The Farstriders were somehow tricky. First of all, I took the eagle away. I didn't like the idea of a stone bird (you know, that's the weird way suspension of disbelief works ) neither fancied the 'Clash of the Titans' mechanical bird concept. So I totally replaced it.



I also took the crests away and touched the crossbows/bolt throwers/whatever those ugly things are. They are still ugly, but bearable





Same thing about the painting process:









For the Cursebreakers I used some of the bits I had left from the core box:







These eventually turned into these:









So here you have the three stone warbands (I think there's an intruder in this pic, shhhh ):



Everything related to this is here:

I'm already working on new stuff, I hope I can bring it up over here anytime soon.

Very nice. The temptation to have the basing match the figure is one that must be hard, but they look better for being slightly different.

Can't say I'm too interested in Stormcast Eternals, Shadespire or Age of Sigmar. Just not my cup of tea, stylistically.
But.. this looks great. Excellent work. Please make more!

Revisiting the Khorne warband from the core box again. It's a commission for the pal I painted the first band in this thread for. We discussed for some time how were I to approach these minis; I have the Sepulchral Guard (the skellies) and I was thinking of a One Thousand and One Nights vibe, I mean, turbans, scimitars. My pal liked the idea and we thought 'why not? Let's try the concept on these minis first and see what comes out of it'
To give them another twist, I used these GW bits so I ended up with a tribe of desert nomad cannibal ghouls of Khorne. Or something, just mix up those words at will . Given that ghouls have an Arabic origin, it was a fun way of making a pastiche, in the finest Warhammer tradition











I used mostly earthy colours, but for red (to tie them in with Khorne) and the yellow turbans, to make them stand out a little. I kept the basic poses to make them recognizable. The exception is the guy with the spear, but he bears a two handed weapon anyway, so there should be no problem.















Maybe not perfect conversions , but I think they work at tabletop distance. More of it on the blog:

I don't know if I'll repeat the thing on the skellies, but I'll discover it eventually

I'd already fallen into buying the game, so I thought it was safe to visit this thread; now I want surfaces like those! Nice work - on the models too, of course.

[von Lucky]

Lovely conversions and painting. Urgh. If only I was already retired. So little time! Chaos gods - can you make me old?

[Dentatus]

Those are absolutely great. You make Shadespire look fun.

Yet another crazy warband! A commission for a friend. He got the Dwarfs, the Chosen Axes band, but wanted them to look like old, proper Slayers, keeping somehow the original poses (to make them recognizable). This proved to be a tricky challenge, as some of the heads were truly impossible to rearrange and many pieces of the multi-part kit were quite a nightmare. Anyway, I managed to get this:









Painting them was supposed to be easy. I used the very classic white and blue stripes trousers:



But my friend considered they looked too uniform. He wanted more variety, so I saved one and changed the rest...









Here's the final result:















It was fun, the process of making new minis look like old concepts was appealing, so I really enjoyed it all

[Elbows]

Awesome, and I agree - the pants definitely looked too uniform.  Great lookin' group of slayers there.  Glad to see them reverted to classical looking slayers instead of the bizarre Fyreslayers with the random mohawk-crowns?

[Gallahad]

Very convincing conversions you have done here. Good work.

[Splod]

Gorgeous work all round, but I particularly love the stunties!

So much so that I missed that they were a conversion, walked into my LGS today to buy some of my own and was very disappointed when I realised the sculpts all have goofy helmets and no pants
