Next Mutant Marauder....A Lion Conversion??

This is not one of my favorites, but I made this model to antigonize a certain individual in Wisconsin, who always seems to think I steal his ideas.  So I literally stole this idea to further aggravate him.

If by chance you are wondering who this individual may be, there is a link to a blog to the right called the Magnificant B's, and this particular individual is on that blog, and has his own very awesome looking Beastmen Army.  Beware if you go there, they may very well offend you.  At the very least, you will be able to see what I have to put up with on a semi-regular basis in the Fantasy Tournament scene in the Midwest.

But anyways, for those interested, this is obviously a beastmen gor, with a Lion's head from the High Elf Lion chariot kit, and feet from an old skaven.

Old Stuff Wednesday - September...Grot V. Crimson Fist

I’ve forgotten how long ago I did this sort of diorama piece, but I do remember I had this idea and used it as entry in GW’s Gamesday Golden Demons – Duel Category. Now this was several years ago, and my paint skills were not as good as they are now, but it is still one of my favorites. I thought it was a comical piece, something a typical Grot would do, taking shots at a downed enemy combatant, and maybe not doing do well with his accuracy. They are after all a BS 2 right?

The Crimson Fist, was at the time the first one that I painted, but the blue paint scheme was right up my alley, since it was essentially the same paint scheme that I used with my Cerulean ( or Blue) Templars. I wanted to have a spacemarine that was all battered and pinned beneath some rubble, struggling to fight off this little twerp.

The grot, is one of the old metal ones. These models always have a lot of personality. I remember I was very happy with the way the greens turned out.

The basing was a combination of cork and sand. If there is one thing I look back on and I am not happy with, it’s the basing and rubble.

One of these days I plan to revisit this idea, but I want to make it more dynamic and attractive, with even more detail.

Khorne's Latest Devotees....New additions to the Marauders

Not exactly sure why I chose this weapon, but I did.  Pose-wise I like the miniature, the armored shoulder probably needed a bit of work in hindsight, but that's probably more time than a miniature worth so few points really deserves..

I do like this gor torso, it is mean.  And this head is killer to me.

 If his mouth was open screaming, the model might even be better.

Note on the back side the tabard, with the Khorne symbol in my blue flame colors.  I've elected not to go the standard Games Workshop Circus Candy Chaos look.  No mismatched units with primary colors.  All my models for this army will be in the color scheme, whether Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Khorne, or Nurgle.   If the sacred numbers of Chaos are meaningless, as are the themed mono-god armies or the hatreds amongst the chaos gods to GW's very own fluff, then so too are their color schemes.

And this one, also part of the Khorne unit really did not turn out great, modeling wise, but it will work out as a rank and filer.

As always many more to follow.

9-11....Never Forget

I know, I won't.

Bring on more of the Mutant Marauders - finished pics

No go-karting tonight as the asphalt season has ended.  So back to miniatures.  Below are more of the mutated marauders.  Churning out a few more just as I begin to pack to move to a different living space.

This one is a bit odd, using bloodletter legs and a marauder torso.

 Makes for a strange looking miniature.  I did shave off all of the little bumps on the legs.

The next one is a kit bash.  Although, the gor body was again a left over from beastmen army back in 2003.  Back then I was doing a lot of the overlapping armor plates as shown on the leg.  This one will go in the great weapons unit.

I like this dude.  It uses the marauder cav head coupled with a new beastmen gor torso.  I see I forgot to give him eye brows.  Ooops.

I think the shield turned out kind of cool looking.

Another great weapon rank and filer.  I will bury this little guy in the midst of bigger guys.

Last one of my old metal oop beastmen.  I do like this dude.

That's it for now, but as always more to follow.

Another Marauder...Old Beast Lord

The nice thing about barbarians and mutants are you get to use a variety of miniatures.  This is the second time I've used this miniature.  Once with my beastmen, and now with my marauders.  I did a very small conversion on the hood over the face.

This miniature will be included in my great weapon marauder unit.  I do like this old beastlord.

Another small conversion was extending the handle of the axe.  The decapitated head is also very fitting.

More Marauders...Tre Manor types...

The last batch of the Red Box Games Helsvakt for now.  These like the other Tre Manor sculpts, practically paint themselves. 

I've enjoyed just painting every one of the models, did not even bother converting them.  Very unusual for me.

The blue effect on the shield turned out pretty cool looking.  This one I did flames on the tabard. 

One of the few with a different weapon.  Not really into the style of the hammer.  I did drop it and knocked the hammer up a bit, need to fix the chipped paint on the handle.

This shield is pretty cool.  The skulls and bones off the fur and belt are so cool looking.

And I do like the head on this one.

A bit better on the shield on this one.  I need to remember to reverse the Hot Rod flames on the blue tabards sometime.
