wow tripple post. you must REALLY LIKE THE
Doomflayer and the Plague Mortars and Globadiers

Yesyes much dwarfthings they crush goodgood quickquick!

Heheh, I was thinking "wow, that´s a lot of replies for four pictures..."

Turns out Llamahead is just boosting his post count.

Hawkins: Yes, they are both holding globes. One is cradling it in close, and the other is getting ready to throw. I´ll see about making his fingers more..... Finger-y.

I can just imagine a scene with the second globadier lobbing his globe right into the middle of an enemy army, then ducking for cover, followed by a bang and lots of screaming. I like it.

Well, it´s been a while since I updated this blog, but there´s finally something new to show you guys. One of the things that I´ve been chiseling away at for the past couple of months is a Screaming Bell for my Skaven.

It´s been a monstrous task, but I think I´m close to the finish line now. After a great talk with some of my favorite critics, I´ve found that they seem to be mostly okay with it. The one thing that may still change a bit is the rocky bits, which some thought were too "clean". But other than that, this is pretty much the finished article.

But enough rambling on, let´s have some pictures!


The bell in all it´s glory, Grey Seer perched on the bell screaming foul curses at the man-things!


A sideshot, this thing really IS huge.


The bell itself, seeping the vapors of skaven magic.


Closeup on the cauldron, with smoking Warpstone shards.


A better look at the smoke effects.


And a better view of the rust effects on the metal bits. I did a lot of weathering on both metal and wood parts.


The bell ringing ogre. I gave his skin a very thin satin varnish, to show that he´s working hard at tolling the mighty bell.


The Grey Seer himself. Madness gleaming in his eyes!


And lastly, a shot showing some of the glowing runes on the bell.

So, with this, I think I´m very close to having finished this dastardly construction, I don´t think I´ve ever spent so much time on tiny details, as I did with this beast.

As always, comments are welcomed, both good and bad.

no comments, just praise. youve outdid yourself here mate....

Really beautiful (probably not the right word )

The smoke and rust effects in particular are awesome!!

@Hawkins: Thank you so much my friend, I´ve really tried to use every technique I could on this piece, to do it some justice. I think it´s one of the best Fantasy models out there, sooooo many details and points of interest.

@Vitruvian XVII: Heheh, it does have a hideous sort of beauty to it, doesn´t it?

The rust is an effect that I recently discovered. It´s basically a very very thin wash of Macharius Solar Orange (GW´s Foundation Orange). I applied it three-four times over all the rust bits. After that it was just cleanup work.

you my freind... are a freakin' mad man.....

i think i love you...

Those are some Epic Mortars!!!
and Globadiers!
and Doomwheel!


Hell...
I Love it all!!!
