phandaal Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Me and the boys ready to stake some claims: Spoiler During the game: Spoiler 3-player game, 4k points of my Dwarves against a combined Imperial force. It was a close battle, but in the end the might of humanity was not enough to stop the master race from securing another glorious victory! Hope you are having a great day wherever you are, and thanks for looking!

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Cool to see the Norse LoV still alive and kicking, or should that be grudging? What is the Codewright like to assemble & paint? I was thinking of getting one done up for a mate for his birthday. phandaal 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376468-norse-votann/page/4/#findComment-6028375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very easy to assemble. I kept the model in two parts for painting - dwarf and back rig with books. Doing it that way made it super easy paint.

phandaal Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 In some of my earliest posts in this thread, I mentioned wanting to find a good replacement model for GW's Votann berserks. Nothing was available. So I went with the Murderbots, and they have served the Kin well until now, but people have kept on making new Space Dwarves since then. Finally, at long last, proper cyber-slayers! Spoiler Look at those glorious mohawks! Those magnificent beards! Here are a couple of shots of the champion: Spoiler Spoiler These two guys might be my favorite, because they have cool cyborg bits and great beards: Spoiler Hoped to get these guys on the table today, but my opponent came down with a cold so I got an early start on my next addition to the Kin. In true James Workshop fashion, here is your very own "rumor engine" picture. Everyone loves teasers, right?

MithrilForge Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Wow Those "Not berserks" are great stuff 2x , really nice sculpts. The Smash Bro's look cool well done, and I do wonder what's next ???...

phandaal Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole Spoiler Been planning on building a mole transport for a while now, and the recent release for Epic 40k mini-termites got me thinking. Checked GW's website for the full-size deal from Forgeworld, saw the price tag, and long story short - printer went brrrr for about 9% of that price! Decided to go with the version bursting up out of the ground because it is awesome! Here is a shot with some lil dudes for reference: Spoiler And a shot of the drill mesmerizing us all: Spoiler Progress pic coming soon to show how much the army has grown. Until then, have a great weekend wherever you are!

MithrilForge Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Awesome stuff…. not that it matters a great deal but have you thought of putting some weathering and dirt parts on the drill top/front to show it’s burst outta the ground ?!… it’s still fantastic either way though Cheers, M phandaal 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376468-norse-votann/page/4/#findComment-6037610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base has a lot more rocks and grass tufts around the edges to show how the earth has been disturbed around it. Hard to tell from the picture, but the basing is built up in a pile all around the drill to make it look like it is spilling down and being pushed up from under the ground. I still might come back at some point to make it even more obvious that it just burst up from below. Dirt/grass elsewhere on the model would definitely help there!

phandaal Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Now that real Slayers have joined our kinband, the Miners have finally decided to come up from their digs and show the rest of their Kin how to turn off their mining bots' murder mode: Spoiler Mostly because the Slayers kept trying to fight the murderbots for sparring practice! And a solo shot of our flesh-and-blood mining Kin, including one on the front right who looks like he is about to warn us about the dangers of Diabeetus: Spoiler Up next, you can see a few wily dwarves in the background of the first picture, making their way back to their Kin after a long wilderness patrol. That is it for now though. Have a great rest of your day and thanks for looking!

phandaal Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Any good kinband needs a group of doughty outdoorsmen to range far and wide in search of fresh enemies to grudge and new resources to acquire. Our kinband is no different - and these rangers have finally returned to the fold: Spoiler Spoiler With this last group, our kinband is complete for now! Don't worry, we are not stopping the games and more reinforcements will arrive. Just shifting focus to a fantasy army for a little while and there are only so many hours in the day! Up next - will get everybody together for a family photo to show how much the band has grown since that first test mini. Thanks for looking!

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and am glad you enjoyed seeing the progress. Posting in public keeps me honest and helps me avoid that slacking urge, and it is good to remind myself that there is more to the hobby than just grumbling about GW. (Although as a fan of the Dwarves, grumbling IS a very important part of the hobby.) 1 hour ago, MithrilForge said: ooh what’s your fantasy army if I may ask ?… please say old hammer and not Age of S@#tmar .. Hell no it's not AoS. The fantasy army is a two-parter. Got the urge to build a Halloween-themed army for games in October. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and the idea just will not go away, so we are going for it! We have a pumpkin-head horseman as the leader, a werewolf, a bunch of spooky skeletons and ghosts, some bats, and even some gremlins! Once that is done I am going to take the skeleton part and expand it into a full-blown army of its own. Expecting it to go relatively quickly because skeletons are super easy to paint in large quantities. Famous last words though! Not sure where people post that kind of stuff online, but apparently there is a forum kind of like this one but for fantasy/AoS. If so I will see about putting the pics up there!

Cheers, Mithril Thank you! Finished up the fantasy army a while back. Actually finished it and built another! Currently working a 3D printed droid army (from a galaxy far far away), and once that is wrapped up I do have my eye on some new dwarf units. The army will grow!

Nova_Dew Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Concerning your issues with GW's Beserks, it's not the position of their hands on the haft, it's that there's a connection between the blade and haft stopping their hands from moving how they should while using an axe, the odd part being they look like a mix of a Long Axe and a Bardiche while being useless as either, to fix the issue just remove the little connection between the axe head and haft, (when you swing an axe you start with your hands apart to support the head and bring them together as you swing for power) or use two axe heads stacked with one flipped to create a silly looking Bardiche. As for the lack of majestic dwarven beards and mohawks the heads look changeable if anyone has done a 3rd party replacement INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/376468-norse-votann/page/4/#findComment-6064570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted October 14 Author Share Posted October 14 Update time! After more than a hundred skeletons and other spooky models for fantasy, and a completely not-infringing-at-all "War Stars" droid army - we are back on the land train! Got one unit sitting on my desk for assembly, and another in the hopper fresh off the printer. Coming soonTM!
