So life like, I swear the wheels are turning...

Thanks guys, it's one of those 'Toy Story' models that I swear was alive, weeping at night, asking me why I hadn't painted it yet in plaintive tones*. If you have this model, you may (or may not) have noticed I painted in iron hoops on the wheels, because they are just big planks laying close together. This didn't make sense to me, so I put in something to actually hold the wheels together. Also, you have the knotty issue of where exactly the reins go on a wolf ... I mean, they can't go in the mouth, because then it wouldn't be able to bite the bad guys. The wolves are wearing harnesses so I tucked the reins in there and ... somehow ... the driver is controlling them ... you know ... perhaps with calls like on a huskie sled? Or something.



*It also tried to get me to start fires, but I suspect that was just a test.

Great job! I agree with all of the previous praise, but also wanted to point out how nicely the basing looks with the model- you can almost feel it rattling as the chariot tears along through the bunch grasses and rocks (and have to do a lot of rock-dodging, I presume). And yes, those wolves are awesome- lots of character! Thanks for posting!

Catching up on this glorious thread after being AWOL for some time.

The Strangler - concept, sculpt and paint - is pretty special even by your high standards. I love that he looks like he's completely and utterly mental! A truly inspirational side quest.

The Chronicle chariot is a classic for sure (lovely naturalistic paint on the wolves btw). I don't think we should assume that the orcs are in control, though. Maybe the wolves have just brought along some meals on wheels.
