OK, I had some littel time and spent it mainly on advancing on the famous rooster knight.
Some straps and a saddle, some feathers added here and there to make it look a bit ore realistic, a pair of mushroom just to practice my "yellow dots on green" skill.

Priming is not very far form here, I just have to convert some lance for him with a magnet and add some reins (already placed some wire in the beak)
By the way, here is the way the bird is gonna look like : red crest, white feathers and blue legs, that's pretty much the best cicken you can get in France and is very particular to my region. Tailfeathers are gonna be bigger on my rooster but hey, its fantasy time !

The khorne champion are actually taking little more time than expected because I decided to blackilne some of them around the armour plates to give a clearer aspect. They're not far from the ned though and I also started working on Kaleb which will be shown in little time too.
Also coming soon, the full review of the eldar pirates and maybe some army lists for both RT and 6thed just to see where all of this is going (might even want to make a 2nd ed army list)
I just have to open my eldar army suitcase and count everything that I have so far. Here is just a tease with the photo of one of the 3 floors in my suitcase :
That's one mean looking chicken, Mr Ass. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I actually want to make him look both threatening and noble, standing firm in front of his foes.
DeleteMore to come.
Cheers
That already looks great! And you said cock, and lance. My inner 12 year old can barely contain himself. What an awesome project.
ReplyDeletePS in the mobile version of your blog the comments are black text on a black background. Just FYI.
DeleteI have to say the 10 years old in me can't tire of silly jokes and innuendos about this one, but it was meant as a "serious" project at first and still is.
DeleteI just added some gear to him to make hime look like he's wandering through the old world in pursuit of the holy grail.
Oh and thanks for the info, I'm trying to fix that issue at lunch.
Nice modelling mister! The details on that belt looks really crisp and it's a good overall look.
ReplyDeleteLike your army case with cut outs specifically for each model. I will without regret steal this idea from you for my chaos army :)

Oh please go ahead ! I intend to steal so much ideas from you it's the least of things you get something from me.
DeleteI know foam trays are not popular for some but this is a very cheap and practical way of stocking lead (15 to 20€ for a suitcase and about 4€ for the foam cut to the right size). I have somthing like ten of them and I really like it.
:)
DeleteI think I would combine foam and line it with bubble wrap - a bit more gentle to the minis.

Well the only annoying aspect is it's abrasive so if you don't varnish your metal models, I recommend adding some soft clothing (no problem wit painted plastic).
DeleteAnother thing is if you don't cut the right shapes for models with fragile parts or flexible parts (long swords or lances, they can suffer a bit (look at my giant...) but now I got the skill and I don't have that problem anymore even with complicated models.
I'll show a bit more of the trays in a post to come.
