The Gut'Reapa' (orcs and gobs army, probably image heavy soon)

Hmm i think Gnoblars would be an easyer head choose alogn with the body which speaks hobgob

[Urgat]

To me that'd just me gnobblar heads stuck on plaguemonk bodies. I can do the conversion, so easyness is not really a factor I care much about; besides, these heads would be too small. Nah, it's only the two options I mentioned, really.

[Gargobot]

Sneaky gits do look kinda like the Immortals from 300, so I'd go with that. Maybe if you gave the masks a long hobgobbo nose it would give them back the HG look.

[Urgat]

I thought about it, but that' make them look like they have Tengu masks, and I want to keep clear of japan/nippon references...

[Urgat]

Ok, sneaky git test time:

That's the current prototype, with normal goblin head.

That's a touched up version of that pic, showing what I'd do to the face if I choose that option.

Didn't think of the tengu problem, easily understandable that you don't want that.
What you're planning looks very good, kinda looks like the old Sneaky Gits, but better.
I'd go for it!

[Urgat]

Thanks for the opinion, I wish more people participated, though...

I got another question, but it's more for those who play 40k (I don't know all the models available, really): is there something like the defiler (big mechanical spider thing), but smaller? It'd make a nice base for some demonic earthshacker, but I understand the defiler is quite too big for that...

[Txan]

I belive so... U can look into necrons, or go into the epic 40k defiler

[rtunian]

those bosses are sweet!
love the choppas with extra choppy bits... did you make those or did they come like that?

imo the top hobgoblin pic looks better. droopy nose or puffy chin, but both? that's crazy talk right there!

[Urgat]

The blorc is unconverted. The other big boss, I added the red spikes on the blades. Other than that, the axe is the one the model comes with, and the sword is an ogre sword.
As for the hobgob, well, that's how hobgobs are, and I don't want them any different. Nose will be smaller though.

[Urgat]

Hop, update. I was working on my bull centaur BSB (grudge pony + old plastic hunchback chaos warrior torso and head, arms will be plastic marauder arms):

and had too much miliput prepared, so I figured I'd try and sculpt a couple sneaky git heads with masks... to make a long story short, it turned out that w/o any preparatory sketch, I couldn't sculpt a propper design on the fly, and as I didn't want to waste the resin, I just sculpted a couple maskless heads instead:

So there will be a few maskless sneaky gits, at least. I'll give them thos small tusks they have later.
The culpting isn't near as smooth as I would have liked it to be, I was doi ng that when my g/f came back home and told me we had to rush to buy some supplies coz the store was about to close... Don't you hate it when secondary matters such as buying food because the fridge is empty get in the way of your modelling?
So now I'll have to work on the dry resin, smoothing things out, thinning out the shins, stuff like that.

I was toying around with the idea of making my own CD armylist, too, mainly modifying the rocket launcher, the blunderbuss units and the way slaves work. But then I figured this is always wasted time, who honestly gives unofficial, fan-written lists a damn, really? So I don't think I'll bother.

That's it for now

[Urgat]

Today's work update; first, the bull centaur battles standard bearer:

Next, the sneaky gits:

The two on the left are the two previously shown, but reworked a bit. The third one is the first one with a mask, and the last one is another "maskless" hobgob. They all need more smoothing, the ones w/o masks need their tusks, and they all need their ears, but I'm rather please with the result.

[Urgat]

Finally! I'm done with the BfSP conversion of my Chaos Dwarf warriors:

Probably not the best chaos dwarf conversions there is, but they'll do the job. Now I need 7 more to complete the unit...

[Txan]

I love the standard

[Anardakil]

Yay chaos dwarfs I really like your chaos dwarfs and sneaky gits. It's always nice to see more of the dark stunties ^^

My only negative critique would be the horns on the standard. They're a bit too tomato red IMHO. Otherwise it's a very well converted and painted unit.

[Urgat]

Got to admit I just painted it red, decided I'd finish that later, but at the same time I wanted to pack the rest of the dwarfs, so I had to take a picture first. Won't be much different anyway, just darkened around the base of the horns (see what I did on, say, the wyvern horns on the previous page, will be the same, but red instead).

I love the standard

Thanks It's just the normal dwarf standard with the anvil removed, the bull head added and the beards (crudely) lenghtened on the head icons, really. Oh, and a lil' hat added to the central head :Þ

[bob_the_small]

I really like those BfSP CD, they are awesome... well done my friend! What did you use to convert them?

[Urgat]

Thanks
What did I use? Well, BfSP dwarfs, epoxy, and green stuff. It's not so hard, just time consuming.

[Lorcryst]

I'm not a fan of Chaos Dwarfes, but I have to say that yours are very well done ... can't wait to see that Bull Centaur BSB finished, looks promising !

[Urgat]

Ok, first of all, just to show that my hobgobs are in good way to completation:

The other five only miss their arms, then painting those shouldn't be too long, it's just like big night gobs to me really. I also bought 8 metal sneaky gits from ebay (see somewhere below as for why), they'll complement mine if I want to make the unit bigger.
Then, a bit of mild rant. Those are chaos trolls I bought on ebay more than 6 weeks ago, and finally arrived yesterday:

The rant isn't about the time it took to cross the world, the paint job or anything like that. Apart from the troll that was off its base, they were intact. Ripping them apart is my doing, but I figured I'd take a pic before I completly ruined the seller's job, since the painting isn't too bad (it looks better on pics than in reality, though, he didn't paint the eyes, the red is just some blood red painted as is over the rest, etc - the NMM weapons are quite nice).
So, what is it about?
I've never liked those chaos trolls. They're ugly as hell, and not in a good way. I bought them merely because I got that weird troll fetish and want all the current ones (only lack the latest metal ones that complement the plastic BfSP one, now).
But those trolls, once I held them in my own hands, appeared to be even worse than I thought they'd be. As I've never liked them, I've never really paid much attention to the details. Well, it's not a bad thing really, because details are lacking anyway. Worse, the three trolls have excatly the same body. Not even some piercing added here/removed there, no, save for the (ugly) weapon swap, they're 100% the same. For frackin' ogre-sized metal minis, it seems to me GW should shoke from shame at watching these.
So well, I got that (other weird) idea that I like to have at least one unconverted model of everything I buy. Among all those 5th ed plastic black orcs (you know, those packs of 10 monopose models) lost in the metal black orcs, you'll find one perfectly untouched (bare paint) black orc, for instance.
So those three, normally, should remain unconverted (one of each model unconverted). But well, they don't even deserve that, so I'm gonna greenstuff parts of them. Oh, nothing too drastic. I'll add bubboes, horns, scales and piercings, things like that. I'm gonna make it so they don't seem to have stolen a runic axe from a dwarf king (they're trolls, and yet they got more finely crafted weapons than marauders lol). So voila, rant over. And by the way, no those are not even the minis I hate most, from GW (it's the gorger, if you want to know).

Edit: the bases appear to be some transparent resin casted bases. I don't really want my trolls to go on those, but I have no other handy, I'm a bit annoyed >>
