Psyber's Super-Duper Dungeon (Warhammer Quest)

[Elk101]

Always feel slightly guilty when I resurrect it, but it's a lifelong project... I don't think it'll ever truly be finished 

Not at all, feel free to add to it when you get the chance.

Time for an update - and this time with an evil theme...

I've just finished my classic Nurgle champion. I was looking for this guy on eBay for a while, and was very happy when I finally got him for a low price. This completes my first set of 4 champions - I plan to do 4 more so I'll have 2 of each power.



Also completed, a bit more dungeon scenery just for fun. This is a sacrificial altar from Zealot miniatures - perfect for those Chaos cultists...

Thought I'd put all 4 together. Now I'm going to have to rephotograph them because the Nurgle Boi isn't on the same background as the others and it's gonna bug me forever...

Brilliant painting there.  Really like the one eyed dude and the blue on the hoody…

Lovely job on the altar and the nurgle fella. Never even seen that one before.

[Elk101]

One of my favourite chaos champions, great job.

[Grumpy Gnome]

I bring to you the semi-regular raising from the dead of this ongoing (probably lifelong) thread...

I've been working on a couple of larger models for my higher-level dungeoneers to battle. Just finished the first of these today. So, I give you: the Griffon!



I absolutely love classic metal models, and of the old Citadel monsters this particular Griffon is probably my favourite. This is 'Stormwing', the War-Griffon of Eltharion, sculpted by Trish Morrison (now Trish Carden on various social media). I was contemplating swapping his wings with something a bit more modern and dynamic, but they're so difficult to join that it would have meant more feather-sculpting than I'm comfortable with. So instead I carefully bent the original wings to give them a nice, natural curve. I'm pleased with the result - this is very much a benefit of metal models!

Colour scheme, I went for a traditional golden eagle and lion combo rather than the various fancy leopards and tigers beloved of GW. The golden eagle has quite a muted palette, and I used loads of photo reference for the wings.

Wing top-down. Note the white is brighter, with no striping on the feathers.


Extreme close-up!

That looks really awesome! Im planning something similar for my wifes griffon, but I cant hope to get near Your work...

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great detail work mate, your griffon looks brilliant.

[Elk101]

Nice painting on that.

[Elbows]

Superb griffon.  Endlessly jealous of people who can paint things with fur and feathers.  My arch-nemesis

[psyberwyche]

Thanks guys, much appreciated - the Griffon seems to be a crowd pleaser 

Currently working on an even bigger model, to rival the Mantic Dragon, but progress on these big guys is slow!
