[WM] DaveCs various warmaster projects

[azrael71]

Nice start.
Are you going into business Dave

[DaveC]

Not yet Mick.

I've more or less finished the Hippogriff itself. I have the rider ready he'll be pinned in place and I'll need to resculpt his legs.



The wings make it really hard to get a good picture as the camera doesn't know what to focus on.


Here's a pre green stuff one - I'm making one for myself as well I'd only regret it later if I didn't!



It's made from a Eureka Warhawk and 2 Old Glory Horses (the back and front are from different horses. The wings needed a good bit of modification.

[Guthwine]

That looks really great, I am amazed!

[jchaos79]

Impressive Dave,

you have magik in your fingers   

and very clearly ideas 

keep showing us the progress

[DaveC]

The finished Brettonian General on Hippogriff (more or less).



There's one or 2 details I might add, I want to put an emblem on the shield but the greenstuff just won't stick to it at the moment. Hopefully I can get my own to turn out like this one.

The Ogre project has not been forgotten, ebob still hasn't restocked the armatures yet I could make my own but his suit the sculpts I want to do better.

[azrael71]

As always dave this model is SWEEEET
What do you have planned next?

[DaveC]

Thanks,

Plans mmm another one of these for myself - different rider (the hero with the mace and tower helmet was hoping to use the general but he's to much work), slightly different talon pose and slightly bigger body (learnt alot from the first one very happy with it but there's one or 2 things to improve)

IG Colonel
IG Valkyrie

actually lots of IG  

Last picture I got the emblem on the shield and added horse ears which I'd forgotten about  



UPDATE:

Definitely the last picture 

I was asked to add a helmet if possible so I got it on the waist. I couldn't fit a brettonian helmet so I modified another one instead.



Thats it done finished (I think)

[jchaos79]

It took a while but it finally finished this fine model. I tried my best to do the model justice with the paintjob, I hope you like it.

I took this as a reference for the griffon:

The only thing I dont like with this model is the flexible rod, which makes it impossible to paint without touching the model but other than that its perfect.

[DaveC]

Excellent looks great he painted up well, glad you liked him. I particularly likethe freehand axe details. The flexy clear rod does make holding him a bit awkward but it's far less likely to break in future if it takes a knock and having a see through rod on flying units looks better than a black rod. Thanks for posting the picture.

[jchaos79]

Very nice paintjob Guthwine! and also very nice scultpting DaveC.

It is a pleasure see customize figures!

[Guthwine]

Thank you guys!

I particularly likethe freehand axe details.

I just have no imagination, thats why I ended up painting my knights after the WHF army book.

The rod surely is more comfortable for gaming thats true. Hope to see some new greens soon.

[DaveC]

I've drifted out to page 3 so I'll have to rectify that.

I haven't really done much sculpting or painting recently as I've been too busy but I'm on my christmas holidays so I've had a chance to pick up the sculpting tools again.

I've managed to sculpt the other 2 Ogre characters I needed.

First up the second Butcher.



I kept the design similar enough to the first one just swapped a few details around.

The second piece is the Thunderlord (Bruiser on Bull Rhinox).



I went for a Steppe/Mongol type look as it seemed appropriate. I wanted to put some reins in his right hand but there was nowhere for them to connect to so I left them off. I've added armour to the Rhinox's head to make him stand out from the regular Rhinox.

I'll hopefully get them painted over the next week or 2 The various details will show up better then and I may even try and push on with more of the army as well (time permitting).

If anyone has some BOFA trolls they are willing to part with please let me know I could do with some more. I'll pay cash or trade for them.

Apologies to anyone that PMed me and didn't get a reply I haven't checked my account in awhile, I'm not taking on any commission work at the moment I just don't have the time.

C&C welcome as always

[yamaneko]

Great work as always, Dave.  Some of the armor looks a little smooth, and may come to life a little more with some battle damage.  A nick or two in the weapons and that belly plate, for example.

Have you seen Eureka's 10mm war rhinos?  I assume you have.  They look ideal for your projects.

Cheers!
