[WM] Del Boca Vista, I mean WM, Phase II

Oh, and the wheels are from skaven artillery.

This next one uses a 15mm fantasy catapult as a chassis, built up with more balsa. It might be hard to see because of the black primer on a black plastic base, but it's squigg-powered, Flintstones-style. I had some extra spiky bits and sacrificed a ladder from the WM siege pack. I'll add some ropes to connect the squiggs to the chassis at some point.









On casting these: casting these particular ones (especially the second one) is probably a no-go as this would require their destruction. However, think of these as a "feasibility study". I can build the first one again, just in pieces. I'll most likely add in some plastic "nails" and other plates to simulate the wood being held together. That's going to require a whole lot of patience and some tweezers.

great looking! engenieer in chef!

[Stormwind]

Such clever use of bits!  Very good!

[rothgar68]

Super Job!

Thanks guys. Depending on how things go on BlackEd's end, there might be many multiples of those in the future 

An orc hero:






The centerpiece of the army, a wyvern monstrous mount. At this point, he's aptly named a squiggern:
















those wings are spare parts from a friend's malifaux bits box. The goblin is a shaman character with GS legs and elongated coat, his staff replaced by a cleaver/sword and mace replaced by the horn on the squigg's forehead  . Heavy credit for this concept ("goblin riding bumblebee with teeth") goes to Dave - I wouldn't have tried it if I had to make some sort of saddle because it wouldn't have looked "right".

Your squig is delightfully terrifying <3

[Geep]

Excellent squiggern... I may be stealing that idea

[jchaos79]

Soo nice and have a lot of kinetc! great imagination indeed

[David Wasilewski]

Awesome, just awesome!

I love it when people scratch build unique units, it really brings the game background alive.

Has he officially been named Squiggums?

[captPiett]

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed putting this one together and painting it, just because of the comedic value.

Has he officially been named Squiggums?

That's a possibility, but I'm willing to entertain other suggestions from the SG community 
Squiggbert is also entertaining, I think.

[Guthwine]

Great looking minis! Love the amount of work that goes into the little details.

Nice work on the unisquigg, Squagg the magnificent.

[David Wasilewski]

He actually looks like he's kind of trying to be stealthy, on his tip toes. You should put a "Shhhhh, they'll never hear us" caption on him!

Wow, this forum actually has a warning against thread necromancy:

"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic."

Pretty sure I want to reply to my own thread, since I have some painting updates 

More goblins have been completed. I completed two each of the pump wagons cast by BlackEd:






And then there was the band. I still had a bunch of goblin drummers hanging around and since the stats for goblins are so craptacular, who's to say that I can't have a full unit of musicians? Here they are in all their off-beat, off-key glory:







finally a small side-note: feasibility test complete; Bretonnians may be in my painting future.






That is all. Hopefully there will be another update in fewer than 120 days

Very nice man, love the goblins especially the pump wagons. I was curious do you seal your gravel with a watered down pva/wood glue after gluing it on? The reason i ask is i'm not diggin the chunky look, i'm not saying your painting is bad at all just not for me. Also night goblins have a special place in my heart i love yours!
