As I needed some pictures for other purposes I guess I might as well give you all a glimpse here as well....
Slayer champion : converted
Front view of my Groundhog attack gyro : scratchbuild
Rear-view of the Groundhog
Slayers - one of my first 10 mil painting jobs, yearssssss ago .... (and sadly I did not get better 8))
-
I have seen these in the flesh and they are very nice.
I particularly love the gyrocopter 8)
-
Blue beards! very original 8) I like it,
The gyrocopter seems also very dward-tech.
I have seen on your post of "storage" a pic with a base with very few figures. Like skirmisher mode. It took my attention. Which type of unit do you base in these way?

I will put some up sometime this weekend. In general almost ALL of my shooting stands have snipped strips individualy mounted. The ones in the Dwarf storage are rangers (pics to follow)
-
OH man ... I feel DUMB ::), reposted with PROPER scaling pictures
As prommised some more Dwarf stuff (from the storage box)
First of some rangers. for the first picture I did grab stands from 4 of the ranger units I have, but generaly there is a consistent theme per unit. Eg. one show small pools of water on the stands, one other rocks, tree-stumps etc. General theme for the ranger units is that the "command stand" 8) shows enemy casualties. In the pictures you will see greenskins, another unit has RBT and the last one a chopped up troll.
-
and some more, I guess I need to adjust the forum settings to allow form more attachements 8)
Dwarf General, for lack of better definition, on "stage"... with no rescource to horses or other mounts to gain a better overview over the battle field I came up with this one.
and additional a unit of handgunner, again in dispersed formation.
-
Ah I can see the larger images now I couldn't earlier for some reason. Great scenic bases there Lex and the Groundhog Gyrocopter is a great conversion. Blue beards do help to break up the units when painting lots of slayers, it's the Brotherhood of Grimnar that use a lot of blue if i remember correctly.
-
Nice idea on the scenic bases.
-
Very illustrative lex,
thanks for post them. I like the dynimic of the bases, should base some volly units like that in the future.
-
What is the rubble made from?
Ruthlessly stealing basing ideas - recently been inspired to finish painting my WM dwarves :)
-
Hello I have recently become a dwarf player. I love these! I love the 'NEW' Gyrocopter. Thanks for the look see Lex.

The ruble on the dwarf bases in general ?? From the florist... well actualy not from the florist himself, but a lot of "gift"stores here, and probably also some floral shops have fine sand - which I use for general basing and what is called "grit".
The grit comes in all sorts of colours, most metalics 8) so you will need to give them an apropriate finish ....... (they had a nice almost fluorecent green that would make a great wyrdstone...)
If this does not answer your question then tell me which specific picture you mean !!

All pieces are parts of the existing Warmaster range 9-) so it IS reproducable !

Well I did hear a rumor. I don't want to set anyone off so I wont say any more. That and the fact that I haven't been able to buy any minis at all, all year long has left me playing with just counters. Besides I am mostly a stick it on the base and paint it person. Conversions I tend to stay away from. I just don't think I could do it well enough.

Warmaster Casualty markers - What models are on these?
I've separated out ~12/15 ranger individual models; and Lex's use of casualty markers is inspiring. :)
Any chance of getting photos posted? Obviously most interested in Greenskin or elves... ;D
-

Little round bases, the size of a ?dime? that showed dead/dying models for one of the basic 6 races. There is a list around somewhere, I think on the Yahoo gw-warmaster group, or here in the forum

If you chekc the ranger pictures above you will see the two greenskin ones, one is dead boar + rider, the other two ors that tried to catch a canoonball
IIRC the Elf one shows a destroyed RBT
-
Incidently, how did you make the stones?
-
I think I answered that earlier or in another thread, but short & sweet. They are small stones that I get in a "pound" bag from a florist shop, who use them in floral pieces. They are a natural ?stone? grit product that tend to come in a great variaty of colours and size. (Size in the bag, colour options per bag 8))
I just take a fistfull out, spread them on a piece of (news)paper and sort out the ones I want to use. Those are enbeded into the Elmer-glue/sand somposite I usualy use to fill of bases. And then they become part of the normal painting proces (or in some cases I just leave them as is)
Hopes this helps, if not PM me with the picture you mean...
-
you probably did - my 6 month old allowed me about two hours sleep last night ;)
thanks
