I'll take that as a compliment

I've seen somewhere on the web a conversion of a chariot-like thing featuring FB chaos steeds and a tomb kinds hovering sarcophagus... Maybe you can make something similar using khorn beasts of fb ogre animals and some hovering craft like from necrons? As for the rules I'm no big help, but i do remember an IG tank hero, an ork bike hero and an eldar hover bike one... Maybe they may fit...

Well, as for suggestions, I instantly thought about the Master of the Ravenwing on his jetbike. That's the closest thing to a chariot I can currently imagine (except for a Trike maybe, but that wouldn't be available to a special character). Or you could go really overboard and have Gorthor ride into battle atop a converted Sentimel or even Defiler?

awesome -I never even thought of dark angels raven wings for some reason... Thanks for that   .  Right-hop to it I guess.... Thanks again.

Ps
Fluff wise I don't think it should matter all that much... They are Beastmen army after all. 40k centigors as bikes to go with that as well I think.... Ha!!!!!! The fun

Little up date on Gorthor and his chariot.
Going from the great idea of using the ally rules of Sammael master of ravenwing that came from yall (thank you so much for that)- I started to look for shapes in the GW range and decided on using the Necron Triarch Stalker as a base for the chariot bit (Sammael mounted in a land speeder). (armored 14 in both front and sides, with a twin linked heavy bolter AND twin linked assault cannons, and also BS-5- thats total bad a$$).


The front bit will be a flying razorgor kind of thing- (half way between the thing that I got pulling my Rhinos and the thing that is pulling my other land speeders-) So it’s sort of gorthor on a razorgor chariot…














Then I had the Idea of not actually mounting him on the chariot it self but on a ship textured terminator base- so when he’s on the chariot he’s Sammael, and when he’s just pimpin around on foot- he’s Logan Grimmar.









for gorthor him self I’m using the space marine librarian in terminator armour as base-









The beast lord needs a cloak so I stole it off Celestine the Living Saint.





the beast lord cometh



















There are still a lot more to go like twinlinked assault cannons and twin linked heavy bolters on the bottom, but It's getting there....

Fantastic stuff! I am simply blown away by the apparent ease with which you take seemingly disparate parts from the whole GW catalogue and manage to recombine them into something quite unique! Excellent

Wouldn't Canis Wolfborn fit Gorthor better. Thunder Wolf=Chariot. The model is utterly awesome.

I'm actually saving canis wolf born for a 40k version of moon claw- him with the claws and being mounted on a big two headed thing and all that (and im running out of ideas for "use as" models that fits)....

Simply awesome as always! Your dedication to this army is legendary!

I love how you turned the putti into little beasties. Ingenious!

WOW! I saw a glimpse of the pic of 9 drop pods and assumed it was a photoshop job, and then read the whole thread and my mind was blown!

FANGODDAMTASTIC!

I bet people just love playing your army just to see the pieces =D

Wish i could make stuff half as awesome as this army! As is i mostly just kit bash more then convert and craft.

Again-just a small up date on the progress of gorthor and some other bits and bobs that I just started army.
Finally finish the making bit of the warlord’s chariot












Continuing with special characters- I started doing Khazrak the one eye.
This is make take on him in my fantasy army-







So I want to make more or less the exact same thing- but 40k.













To go with lords- Space wolves has the option to take cyber wolves… I don’t want to just go with a chaos war hound-so instead, I give you

Cyber Boars!!!





Still some ways to go…..

Little Qicky FYI on DIY- I’ve been getting people asking how I did fur on these guys and instead of typing the message over and over again I figured I’ll put up a little tutorial thing here for what it’s worth. It’s very easy and I hope some one finds it useful.

These are the things that you need-




Oh and if you can Vaseline too. The thing with Vaseline is that it stops you tools from sticking to the green stuff, and because it’s oil base- you can add more green stuff to it and it’s stick on normally. Water and you own spit works great as well in keeping you tools from sticking to the green stuff, but it may be difficult to add more green stuff on and around the part that you are doing (most of the time it will just slip off).

Before I get to fur I’m actually going to show you how to make scales (like dragon scales, fish scales, armor scales, etc.) because it’s more or less the same process but you see it clearer first… (just go with me on this for a minute )

First mix the green stuff up and stick it on the surface of that thing that you want scales on. Use Vaseline to spread or smooth that area down.





Using the clippers from the bottom up start clipping into the green stuff row by row.



On this part it’s really up to you how big or small you want the scales. For small ones use only the tip of the clippers and keep them close together- for the big ones, go for the whole thing and spread them a bit part.

Then finally use a bit of water or Vaseline to smooth or flatten down the whole thing a little so that it can curve, or flatten with the surface, while still being scaly.



or



Note: the amount of pressure you put on the green stuff in this process will determine how fat or thin each scale is. The more you smooth the fatter eah scale is.

Any touch up like separation between scales- or any other thing you want to do to it is up to you.

In the end you end up with something like this








RIGHT ON TO FUR!!!!!!!
Like I said it is more or less the same thing-

First mix and stick the green stuff on to the surface that you want.Use water or Vaseline to help spread, smooth, or shape the green stuff on so it don’t get stuck to your fingers or tools.
Once that is done create some diagonal lines all thru out the area.



Now do I the other way too so you are sort of making a grid kind of thing with long thin diamond shapes.



If you do it on a non-flat surface it will turn out something like this-



Now using the clippers, start clipping into it. Do the exact same thing as you did with the scales, but this time it can be as random or as orderly as you want.




Note: on this part- while you are clipping you can pull out while applying pressure to the clippers to get random long length of fur.



(the front top bit has been clipped the back half is not.)
When you have done that- use your fingers or sculpting tool to add details on each fur sections or locks or whatever you want to call those bits, push them up, down in or out- to create what you had in mind.







Here are some other examples for yall-






Just have fun and experiment with it really is the key I think…

nice work as always, and that tutorial comes in handy to, might improve my gs skills with that

Looking better and better every time i return to these pages i just love the whole concept of this army

Young Logan

Nice tutorial thanks, that's good looking fur. And I see you have undercoated your thumbnail.

Lots of spectacular stuff in this thread. I'd still like to see some sort of cyborg monstrosity made from the Ogre Kingdoms monsters because I know you'd make something awesome.

Awesome glad it's to here its useful

I'm actually thinking about using one or two thunder tusks to make a land raider... Don't really know what the design will be or how it will work but.... Well it's all just rattling around in my head right now looking for a good idea to hook onto... If you have idea or suggestion on this it will be much appreciated.

Nice idea on the cloak and fur - thanks for the tutorial!

Superb work!
Love the tutorials, I will definitely be using them for sure.
Also those Cyber-Boars are freakin' amazing.
Keep producing awesome Space Goats!

This thread idea and concept are amazing so many rare units I look forward to seeing more....

One suggestion BULL TERMINATORS!!

Finally finished The Beastlord!!!!!!























On foot I using him as Logan Grimmar Wolf lord- But Gorthor is not Gorthor with out his chariot, so-








































I made Gorthor’s base with a little stub thing in front so it can just clip onto the chariot so Gorthor is secure. When he’s mounted on the chariot, I’m going to be using Sammael Master of raven wing rule (allying army (will be making centigors as bike so Gorthor can be legally use in a game later.)


































Let’s ride!

This whole army is beyond awesome...i love the originallity of your army and all the conversion work you have done to it, to really make it stand out.

The doombull is my favorite mini...but very closely followed by Gorthor...brilliant work, keep it comming

Very well executed. I love this blog and Gorthor seals the deal. Exceptional conversion work and painting all around.

Malagor the Dark Omens-

Essentially I’m going to be using this as a Rune priest with a jump pack.

So let’s start with the jump pack!





























Another great thing that I use insta- mold for is making fluttering cloth or capes.








I’m these as flying cloth tassels kind of thing coming from his head cloth mask thing…


By the way if do the same thing, then after it to dries- cut lighting shapes into it.



then just cut them up into smaller pieces (depending on you) and you can use it for electrical effects-




Any way back to Malagor



















the base is a piece of flame / power effect I got from a Naruto toy.






















heh heh FIRE...

Well f#¡¿ me that is brilliant!!!!!!!!

This blog gets better and better. I thought nothing would top the amazing drop pods, but the awesome just keeps on coming.

I can confirm those things you are murdering for your models are actually Transformers-Minicons to be exact.

But damn, tis a worthy cause they go to.

This army is sheer, pure, unadulterated awesomeness. Subbed!

Do you mean the legs that I used for the Razor gors pulling the chariot and the ones that my lord is riding on right? is that's what they are????? I just got them randomly cuz I like the look of the leg part in a 60 baht shop (dollar store or poundland equivelant) and it's cheap- 4 in a pack in one solid colorful crappy plastic color.... I've never seen them in any of the old or new animations, so i didn't know.... sorry for the crime, but thank you for the comment

Heh. Not all the toys appear in any of the cartoons. Also they could have been knockoffs, judging by the fact you got 4 of the same mold but in different colours (they normally come in packs of 3 different toys) and that they were so cheap.

I am quite the nerd.

Also, in the unpainted pic of the Doombull, the Blood Slaughterer torso looked like it was made of metal. What's going on?

I LOVE the wheelbikes by the way. So awesome!

lol-I'm pretty sure they are knock offs sir.... I'm living in thailand .... with the doombull- originally I baught 3 slaughterer many moons before I started this project. I wanted it for my chaos army (we paly alot of appoc here) and so started painting it (base only- silver and red- havent gone into detailing, shading or any thing else yet).

Then new things came along and life in general got in the way of finishing it ,and so as with alot of other models i have get's left on the shelf or the bitz box quarter or half-finished. Then I started this project and it became that every model I have or don't have yet is fair game for ripping appart for parts- finished painted or not... may khorne forgive me .... the other two slaughter's safety don't look so good as well, because I might want to do two more ..... dont know yet.....
