[WM] DaveCs various warmaster projects

[DaveC]

Greetings some of you may remember my work from the old forum if not I'll try and dig up some old photos later.

I hadn't painted a Warmaster figure in a long while till today when I saw the forum was back I sat down and painted my Ogre Hunter hey it's only been knocking around for over a year.

Here's the "green" as a reminder



And the painted version



Not yet based as I haven't worked out what sort of base I want yet.

Here's the Rhinox riders I painted before:



The bases have been stripped since as I wasn't happy with them so they need basing as well.

I'm going to try and do somemore work on the Ogres and hopefully post some more pics soon.

C&C welcome as always

Oh here's Goldtooth he's had more work since this pic.

Here we go again 
I am trying to curb my purchasing of new armies and now you start a thread with great miniatures like this!

As always Dave great work, as inspirational as always.

[Pugwash]

Fantastic!  Awesome! Amazing!  Inspirational!

Please keep posting your pictures as you work, although like azrael71, I worry about the effect you may have on my finances!

[TuffSkull]

I just signed up specifically to reply to this thread. I'm a big fan of small scale sculpting & in particular painting & this is some of the finest going.

Keep up the good work - its an inspiration!

Cheers,
Paul "TuffSkull" T.

Great work!!! the weapons of the first ogre have awesome detail 

[DaveC]

Thanks all

I've finished the butcher this morning

The "green"



and painted



I'll finish the cauldron and some skulls for the base later he'll be put on a 40mm base like all the Heroes.

Here's the green from the Rhinox's (which are my own sculpts).



Just the Tyrant to do to get the command stuff done I'll probably have a look at him tomorrow. At some point I plan to add a second Butcher and a Thunderlord on Rhinox but these will do for now it's a shame the GW pulled the BOFA trolls as this is what I used as the base for the conversions it means the chances of doing a unit of maneaters is now limited.

Really very, very nice work! Inspirational in fact! Thanks for sharing!

[azrael71]

Now all you need is a semi official army list 
How many points are you aiming for?

[DaveC]

If only  mmm I currently have 2290 points of miniatures not including Goldtooth and that includes 2 units of Rhinox riders (if said army list existed  )

I've undercoated the Tyrant ready to start painting in the morning I'll be up at 8 for the grand prix so I'll be able to get a good run at it.

 (insert Hal9000 voice here )"Hello Dave..."

Holy @#$%^&*!!!!  man that is fan - freaking- tastic!!!  the detail is outstanding! i had to remind myself what scale these minis were when i was looking at these, cuz with the amount of detail on them they almost look like they are the scale of regular Warhmmer figures and not the smaller warmaster scale.  Dude, it almost makes me wish that you lived here in San Diego so i could commission you to do some stuff for me.

keep up the work and ill keep checking back in for more updates....

[jchaos79]

Very nice and very original!

The sculpitng is superb. Do you have conversions/special-units-made-by-you of other armies?

[DaveC]

Jchaos79 yeah I have other conversions for other armies my Daemons have alot of conversions I'll dig out the pics at some point.

Chaos Rabbit I've pretty much taken a "warhammer" approach to painting these as they're detailed enough for it so some wet blending washes glazes etc.

Right Tyrant time,he took much longer than I thought he would about 8 hours or so but the fur and horns took forever to get right.

The "green"



The sculpt was inspired by the image of the tyrant on the Warhammer army book.

Painted



Managed to do a little of the base as well as he's on a rock to make him bigger than the others. Wasn't sure about the green trousers but the other two had the red and blueish trousers so he had to have green - I'm using these 3 colours on the ogres trousers as you can see from the Rhinox riders. Just a note on the skin tone he looks paler in real life I just can't be bothered setting up the light tent right now also I've gone for a "human" skin tone rather than the greyish Ogre tone for 2 reasons firstly I don't like the grey and second warmaster figures look better with brighter tones anyway.

All three command figures together



Thats the command done bar the bases so its on to troops I might do the Gorgers next as they're the same BOFA troll figures as the command without any conversion - they look like feral ogres anyway or I'm tempt by the slave giant.

Superb, truly inspiring stuff. I was thinking of starting a thread on my Lizardmen but they don't hold a candle to this lot! Looking forward to seeing more.

[Guthwine]

These are really outstanding! Its unbelievable how much details you got on these tiny tiny miniatures! (both painting and sculpting!) Kudos!

[DaveC]

pw post away lets see those lizardmen.

Right I've been at the plasticard and green stuff tonight and ........

Brettonian Grail Reliquae



Candles in 10mm are a nightmare!! I went for a horse drawn shrine as it's easier to do and I think its more fitting for a Grail Knight. The shrine has a flagstone effect and the chair is shaped like a fleur de Lie but it doesn't show up to well in the pics. I'll base the shrine on 40mm x 40mm base and keep the third stand seperate that way it's still practical to use but the unit will have to stay in column but thats not much of an issue.

I have no plans to paint this yet just got it in my head to convert it.

Here's the Trebuchet I converted before as it's no longer available
