Incredibly jealous of those steam tanks

Shadespyre · « **Reply #176 on:** June 16, 2020, 03:46:50 PM »

Beautiful collection, the steam tanks are magnificent but also the first GW model I made where I wished it was plastic. And I only ever built one, and a standard one at that!

Found some inspiration this weekend and started my luminark and hurricanum. I got them roughed out. Im not going to use horses on the luminark, instead Im going to use four acolytes of light surrounding it. The celestrial hurricanum will be towed by horses. Im undecided on the traditional empire barded horses or the old bretonnian horses.

I would go for those classic bretonnian horses, they seem more fit for pulling a wagon.

Shadespyre · « **Reply #179 on:** June 23, 2020, 10:35:36 AM »

These look great. I think the caprisoned horses would look more fancy than the barded ones, which is in keeping with wizards.

Wow! Double wow! How about a triple wow!

I have to agree with with you guys, so I used the bretonnian horses. I finished the celestial hurricanum. All the bits, familiars and wizard are still removable. The luminark has all the rivets put on but I dont have wheels for it yet. The original plan called for using standard chariot wheels but they looked tiny on it when I assembled it. I found some 30mm diameter Napoleonic artillery wheels which resembles the metal steam tank wheels I am using on the hurricanum. So it will have to wait till they arrive to finish it.

Here's a big and small update. I finally figured out what I wanted to make the crew out of for the Tzar Cannon. Also made a base for my hot pot.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #183 on:** July 03, 2020, 01:03:18 AM »

I like the idea!

Shadespyre · « **Reply #184 on:** July 03, 2020, 10:23:38 AM »

I like it, though with a small side helping of "OMG he converted those ogres"!

Padre · « **Reply #185 on:** July 03, 2020, 12:26:42 PM »

The ogre crew look amazing!

(I hope you got the idea for the Tsar Cannon from the dwarfen 'Granite Breaker' in my Tilean campaign!?!

At first I was going to use a different group of old marauder orges but they were going to require extensive green stuffing. Then I recently picked up and ebay listing for orcs that had a couple of these landsknecht ogres in it. Thats when I realized I have over 30 of these guys and it wouldn't be so bad to chop a few of them.

Wow, what an amazing campaign. I dont know how I missed that. Ill definitely enjoy reading that over next couple of days. If you dont mind me asking, what model did you use for the Granite Breaker? It is a really great looking model. A few years back boreas nl had a thread where he built a huge cannon called the crown jewel. This got me looking into siege cannon when I stumbled upon a Wikipedia article on the Tzar Cannon. I looked for a long time trying to find a model for this cannon. Finally found this on ebay from a Russian seller. Its cast iron, had a date on the base from the 70's. Whats really neat about it is all the parts are threaded together.

My intentions when I started this was to have all the options for the 5th ed empire book. Here are my non human allies for this army, halflings, ogres and dwarves. These guys will "eventually" be painted in wissenland colours and kept separate from my halfling and dwarf armies.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #189 on:** July 03, 2020, 03:09:39 PM »

Quite the army!

It's from Scotia Grendel, 20021 - Dwarf Heavy Cannon

Here's a collated post about painting it, and modelling the 'accessories' ...

There were some old posts about it in the 2018, from which the above post was constructed, in the Warhammer Empire 2018 Monthly Goals' thread:

Thanks guys. Finally got some wheels for my other luminark. They are from treadhead miniature. The are 30mm in diameter and thinner than the metal steam tank wheels. Im trying to incorporate the old pyramid of light from 5th ed into this model. Instead of 6 guys standing in a triangular formation, Im having 4 acolytes of light acting as guardsmen and horses. Im looking for a bunch of candles that I can put on the deck but I havent been able to find any. Any suggestions on where I can get some would be greatly appreciated. Tomorrow Im going to cut slots into the base forthe acolytes. Also I spent the last two weeks stripping all my common and night goblins. Ill take a few pictures once I get them sorted.

I think Anvil industries makes some kind of Candles?
Really lovely work! When will see them all painted up

GamesPoet · « **Reply #197 on:** July 22, 2020, 11:49:47 AM »

This is different, will there be more to its design?

Sigmar90 · « **Reply #198 on:** July 22, 2020, 12:12:28 PM »

Im sure it will look awesome once its finished! As for the candles, I found this on youtube (not mine): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9C0nS9b6t8

Youre clearly into diy stuff so why not give this a try!

Thanks, those candles look great. The only problem it looks like it could take 6 months to get them.

I want to add more elements to the deck. Also thinking about getting rid of the mirror and adding 2 more braziers.
