Heya, been away for a bit but that's because I've been working on a little something these past two months and I'm finally finished! Behold!



The Citadel Gia- er uhm I mean...The Casbah Colossus! I sculpted my own giant! Pretty chuffed considering its my second "miniature ever" Obviously based off the 1983 Citadel Giant.

Since GW are never gonna rerelase this and existing ones are both stupidly rare and go for nearly $1500 I decided I would make my own for oldhammer goodness and gaming purposes

Some more shots, If you look closely you'll see how amateur my sculpting is...but its all original! Clay, Greenstuff, and wooden rods so in my mind this is perfectly "legal" to use for 1.5-3rd edition fantasy









And finally here is "The Old Man" With the current D&D party. Perfectly in scale for oldhammer and I am very much looking forward to fielding it lol.



The hands and head are detachable as I plan to make some more variants of those down the line, most likely a club so the old man can bat and thump people away!

Gonna be taking a break though because modeling and painting this thing nearly crippled my hands to Was tempted to post this in my old lead corner thread but felt like the colossus deserved some attention

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy new year DakkaDakka!

Wow, that guy is huge!
Well done, lots of character and fun details. Love the toe sticking out of his shoe.
Would have been nice to see different shades or colours on different parts of his pachwork tunic.

Thank ye kindly lol. Yeah from what I measured he stands a little over 200mm so about what the original was at 🤔

Multi colored was on the agenda but I cowarded out last minute If I ever decided to do this again multi colored is definitely the way 👍

I like the necklace of knight-bits.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
