This was a project I painted up for my local Friendly Local Gaming Store. I forget the name of this specific model as I don't believe that Games Workshop sells it anymore.
Mazdamundi (AoS): Well this was quite a project: I estimate it was a week or two building, two or three weeks painting, and another week for the base. But Its probably the project I'm the most proud of so far. Even though he is dead in the lore of AoS, he lives on in my heart and my lizardmen army as the centerpiece model. "Mazdamundi, Lord of the Solor-City is the oldest and most powerful of the living Slann Mage-Priests and the current ruler of Hexoatl, the City of the Sun" He has a barrel of grubs ready to be consumed from his throne. "Mazdamundi always carries with him a gourd containing a handful of dried Itxl Grubs. These are very potent magical grubs which absorb raw magical power from the ground. When tha Mage-Lord eats the grubs, he gains the magical energy contained within them. He has to eat the whole gourd-full of grubs to gain a significant effect on his own magical powers" I gave him a Magmadroth instead of a Stegadon, as I t...
Ork Fighter and Biplane Construction & Priming: I decided to build some wacky ork planes for 40k, and wanted them to be different from the regular Dakka-Jet and Blitza Bomber kits. These planes were created using two Dakka-Jet/Blitza Bomber kits, parts from a Stormraven Gunship, and various materials. I knew that for the bomber I wanted to go with an older biplane design, so for the fighter I decided to go with a more futuristic design. Looking for something more similar to a sci-fi plane than something from WWI. I drew inspiration for the design mainly from Star Wars classic X-Wing Design for the fins, as well as the overall shape of the fighter from the N-1 Starfighter design. Here is the what the begining shape of the fighter looked like. I liked the shape of the Stormraven Gunship's wings when mounted backwards, and reversed the engines. As well as bolted some dakka over the ailerons, with the additional fins added to give the sligh...
Dr. Ro'Grot-Nid: He's no Eggman, just a crazy grot with an idea... an idea to loot a Tyranid Hive Tyrant! I kind of wanted to paint a Tyranid model, but don't have a Tyranid army, or the desire to paint 1,000 gaunts so I decided to loot an old metal Hive Tyrant model to count as a Deff Dread for my 40k ork army. The platform on the Hive Tyrants back was made from scoring a piece of plasticard (GW gift card) and pieces of a chopstick for the foot platforms. The ropes were made from pieces of wire that the grots have used to try to gain control of the Hive Tyrant. Here the Doc can be seen in all of his Glory! I added some more grots around the base of the model, to try to also act like wranglers, or a snack. Since my Ork army is purple themed I thought it would be fun to paint the Hive Tyrant purple instead of the grots armor and clothes. To add to the vignette that is this model, I gave the rear grot a whip so that he could be coaxing the ...
