Great work, Nav. I would really like to see one of those painted in the obsidian scheme you showed. How are you going to paint yours?

Yeah the Rock monster in the Obsidian scheme is my fave. Really cool model, congrats on the sale.

EDC

I will go for the Rock dirt variant and maybe add some foliage on its back so its jungle themed.

Strange enough I find the crystal one quite cool too.

Hoping this pops up soon.
Gorgeous model and a ton of uses.

Shame you didn't make this a while back when every chaos dwarf player needed a destroyer in their army.

Still though, I want a few of them as they are stunning models with plenty of uses.





On the subject of bugs, any future plans of some 6mm scale large bugs?



As always though mate, stunning work!

Thank you for the feedback Jackal.

Funny you mention bugs because this year Im going to sculpt loads of them, some for myself while others for the commissions I just took.
Actually today I spent most of my time sculpting bugs.

Just got an official sneak peak of whats to come from Otherworld MIniatures.

I LOVE the paintjob they did on it.

Oh wow, I remember your Genestealer Biodiversity project from so many years back, inspired me to make some of my own hybrids (nowhere near as well, though). Your GS skills have absolutely exploded since then. Love the Giger bases!

Tyranid Biodiversity Project was really fun back in the day, happy that you still remember that because it was so many years ago. I still have those minis stored in a big box.

These days with so many cool minis to represent xenomorphs I think I would do something different conversion wise.

Snails are on the move.

THis year I'm sculpting loads of bugs and started with some snails.
Here are some concept shells I made. Currently sculpting a couple of these.

WAR SNAILS

I am weirdly excited by these Dig the concept art, look forward to the sculpts!

- Salvage

Love the idea. Cant wait to see you come up with some sculpts.

Will they all be straight out or will some be in defence mode ie tucking into their shells. And it might be cool to have one halfway attacking an enemy. Kind of absorbing him. Just a thought.

Will be watching intently.

Just remember, snails have drill tongues.

DRILL TONGUES.

They also stab love darts into each other that are friggen huge relatively speaking. And yes, "love dart" is the proper term. It is pretty crazy, and hilarious. It would be a great once per game do a scary powerful attack in melee.

Snails are crazy cool.

Wehrkind, that reminds me of the old Beast of Nurgle fluff that described them as giant affectionate puppies that bounded around the battlefield licking the enemy with toxic-venomed saliva. After their playthings died they'd bound away looking for something else to "love".

War snail concepts look awesome . I would certainly be after getting some if you decided to cast them!

Of course you would

Minions just need some cav or a beast unit to sub them in for ...

- Salvage

Working ferociously on the snails and one is almost finished... again like always I will try to find someone to take them in and cast'em.

Snails are in reality some of the coolest things on earth, no need for aliens or little green men to spice up our imaginary because you can find them in your garden... and if you are a Portuguese they will also be on your plate Yummy stuff!

On my AoS front I got the time to rebase some of my savage orcs, they look soooooo much better now since you can see each individual convo much clearer. I also made the unit smaller with only 16 but added a stabba. Working on another 16 now but unlike these ones with 2 hand weapons they will have spar and shields.



Next update will be Vinegar and Bugs, take a wild guess


Thanks all.

Your orks are looking really nice, the bigger bases really makes the models stand out better.

Thank you.

Its strange how the bases create such an impact on the minis. The 32mm are the best thing GW ever did

Wow! Now that is what a unit of savage Orcs should look like! Very impressive Nav!

Edit - we posted in eachother's blogs at the same time haha

Some really nice posing there. Lovely Orcs.


Now bring on the snails!

I really love the look of your orks! The GW Ork/Orc aesthetic always really appealed to me. Your sculpting just takes that up a few dozen notches.

I also like the bigger bases, although mostly because it scales to the size of the model better. I would just as soon have smaller models that fit on a 25 mm base, so long as they are not hanging off all over. (Lookin at you, PP...)

Love the orks. They are not snails though! But you are forgiven for i love orks.

Those are some dead 'ard orcs! Cant wait to see the spear and shield versions sometime down the road!

Do you have pics of your AoS orcs and gobbos painted yet, Nav? Just realised we always see awesome sculpting from you, but not often painting. :-)

Just stumbled upon, thought of your WAR SNAILS:



Given the proper scaling (i.e. pretty big), I could be convinced to make a KOW army out of them. But I've got a problem.

Also nice orcs, big fan of your AOS endeavors

- Salvage

Great stuff! I love the bases.
Waiting for WIP's of War Snail

Perhaps we can convince Navarro to make a gargantuan war snail as well!

Nopes Im so rubbish at planning painting sessions its unbelievable! its like I have all ready for painting then I look at the greenstuff and start sculpting instead I have the spiders almost finished though.

Love that gargaunt snail Boss Salvage

WAR SNAILS are ready!

Snail 1












Snail 2












Cool thing is that the shells are interchangeable so you can actually have 4 snails with this multipart kit!

The snails are really cool.
