Just wondering where you got the crested helmeted heads that are on your elite knights from?
Well, it seems people aren't all that interested in regular swordsmen ...
I am. I looked at them and liked them, sorry, should have said something. They are great and there is so much to look at because of all conversions. Good work!
I think it has just the right sort of "freaking crazy" needed for Warhammer - dude has a flail which is an orrery.
"My hat is a totem pole - your argument is invalid"
I'm guessing the two headed eagle guy is Metal? If so I don't quite see the connection to metal, sorry. Perhaps the two headed eagle works better as an illusion?
Symbol of the Lore of Metal is the eagle,
I absolutely have to simply knuckle down and PAINT something .... I have always found it much easier (in terms of motivation) to assemble and convert models than paint them
my desk is covered in shavings of metal and plastic and there is blood and greenstuff superglued to my fingers.
But that is not happening right now - my desk is covered in shavings of metal and plastic and there is blood and greenstuff superglued to my fingers.
unfortunately the wrong base so you can never field him.... :engel:
Wow, DK. This stuff is fantastic! That TGM was WELL worth the time you invested! My only CC would be that you can't see the rider's head too well and a few spot highlights on the plume, horse headress's horns, and, perhaps, mane/tail would be welcome.
One more point which totally deserves recognition which, I confess to say, I missed on my first pass is the banner. Not sure whether those are decals or miraculous paint strokes, but it looks ace.
Can't wait to see it painted. :eusa_clap:

Alas, my paint-fu is much weaker than many of other other painters on this forum (my 2nd place in the December competition notwithstanding; I think that was due more to the bold scope of the conversion than technical skill) and my painting-muse is often away sunning herself on some mythological beach and chugging daquiris, rather than inspiring me to actually, you know, paint.
It's an unusual mix of greek style head piece and the puff and slash style trousers though.
My only problem is that stack of cannon balls in the wagon. I just don't think they would stack like that in there without some kind of rack for the bottom balls to set in. On the ground they can stack like that because those bottom balls will sink into the ground and not roll away when you put the top ball on the stack. On a hard surface at an angle like it appears to be, that stack of balls is going to end up on the ground.
Demigryphs, yes - they are based on those models of course. They will have knights on them, mostly because the saddles will look silly otherwise :)
They are looking great! I would love to see them when they are finished.
Where did you ever get the idea of sphinxes? :engel:
Hehehe sorry :engel: I'm just flatteredCall them Sphinxes and mount hoplites on them :biggriin:
Genius!
Would this sort of thing be FAR too ridiculous?
(EDIT : The image isn't showing up - I guess no direct link? - but here is it in situ LINK (http://www.elfwood.com/~ewert/Greek-Sphinx.2731081.html) WARNING! Pencil drawing of a Greek sphinx with bare breasts.)
Or would it be awesome? The armor plate at the front of the models could hide the breasts and the join between the human torso and head and the lion body; some little wings could go in place very easily . . .
I wouldn't put hoplites on them - my army is a sort of mix of Greek and classic Germanic Empire - but making some sphinxes would rock, in my view.
Thanks very much for the inspiration! That is TOTALLY what I am going to do!
I'm going to have to do that, should I get the knights from the demi gryph kit through some bits dealers too?
Bears! Bears are always full of win!It stands 4.5” tall and is appropriate for ages 3+. ::heretic:: lol
I am totally going to make a cyclops via this method - click it to see what I will be ordering next month! (http://www.shopatron.com/products/productdetail/Mythical+Realms+Cyclops/part_number=801829/740.0.1.1.33308.72997.0.0.0?pp=12&)
The foot mini is a child, and those little buggers have big heads :)
No love for Spartans? Guys, you can embrace your love of oily men. It's okay.
As promised in the thread on favorite units (which got diverted into Warrior Priest discussions)
Comments welcome!
dude love your stuff,
got any comparison pics with that cyclops?
I like the mounted model very much, but she looks more like a fighter to me (Grand master/General). I think she needs some more religious symbols other than the book.
I like the kid model, but not in that position. It is too close to the horse. It looks like the horse is gonna lift its tail and poop in front of the kid LOL.
EDIT: Hey man I love your work. No intention at all in insulting you with my comment. Hope I don't get misunderstood. If the poop thing annoys you I'll just delete it.
dude love your stuff,
got any comparison pics with that cyclops?
Thank you. I don't have any pics of it; but I will get some. Remind me after Thanksgiving if I don't remember.
Out of interest, are you able to make use of the discarded lower half of the mini for another project?
Nice stuff, unfortunately the one taking a knee with the book looks to have some rather large and long ape fingers. Of course it looks like you may be too far along to change it now!
I like that shepherd's crook for the giant. I'm guessing it is made from a piece heavy gauge copper wire?
Yes that giant with the sepherd's crook really reminds me of the Jason and the argonauts film. Nostalgia indeed and it is really tempting me to steal your idea and convert a third giant but I have to resist..................
Did you paint your mounted priestess? I'd love to see her in her golden armour!
My Grand Master would love to take her... blessing :engel:
She is going to be in silver-blue steel and white robes - the unit of Knights she will be in will have golden armor.
Your Grand Master would be well-advised to learn just what this Myrmidian cult offers to the goddess from their sacrifices. If you get what I mean.
I'm talking about testicles.
That's bad. The two of them could practice sword fighting together.
Her WS is like half his. He's got more attacks than she has wounds, I think.
This is why she goes for the jewels.

Similarly with the weathering; the marble masonry I've seen tends to look fairly new, even when it's quite old. The variations in color with the washes give it some visual interest.
And, no, I have no idea how the Minotaur got out of such a small gate . . .
Isn't she gonna get motion sick...riding backwards like that?I actually couldn't figure out what looked odd about the model but this is it. She is riding backwards.
:-o all I see is bikini.
That is really, really nice. :eusa_clap:
It was worth a shot :cry::-o all I see is bikini.
Out of bounds for you. As it is progressist, she is, of course, a lesbian. Or transsexual. :icon_twisted:
It was worth a shot :cry:
The slave girl is so hot! I want one!
"rally around this, hippies" banners -
I will give no reasons. :closed-eyes:
As an aside I am finally coming around to the realisation that my army will need Demigryphs to help give a competitive edge. I'm not a big fan of the chickens and am looking for ideas on what I can use in this army. I pondering converting a variety of mechanical mounts using my Steam Dragon for inspiration. With the feel I'm trying to give my army I think that the largest real animal will be the horse, so the demi mounts need to be "engineered"
Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe a wolf, bear and/or bull.
Looks just fine, is he part of an existing unit or start of a new one?
PS 2nd round? Is it there yet? :? Or am I just too tired due to all the bothersome paperwork I had to get done today? :eusa_wall:
I am re-uploading the pictures for this thread, but will be redoing the thread and reorganizing it over the next few days (new thread - this one can fall fallow). But, with Pleasant Surprise coming back, I thought it best to have something accurate there :)Well please make one last post before this closes, with the link to the the new thread; I will follow and 'Notify' the new thread for myself....
