Mr. White Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm in the market for Blightwar, but am dubious that Slimux will fit in my storage solution. I had to cut the icon off my Mighty Lord of Khorne model so he'd fit. Can anyone take a photo of an assembled Slimux next to a Lord of Khorne? Danke!

Travis Baumann Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have not assembled my lord of Khorne yet but here he is next to Blacktalon. He is quite large so I think your current solution will have issues. The tree growing out of the snail shell is the tallest part but his shears over his shoulder are also pretty up there.

Thanks for this! I wonder...if I crop the tree and have Slimux on the ground, on the base maybe leaning against the snail, if I could reduce the height enough while still retaining the character of the model.

Travis Baumann Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You will have to do a serious conversion on him to get him standing. You might be able to sit him on the snail head or something but he is not straddling this like a horse, he is sitting with one knee propped up with his elbow resting on it kind of pose. He could be crouching down like he is digging up a new bone to chew on or something but it wont be as dynamic. For all intents and purposes though, his lower torso is pretty much a Plaguebearer but not sure on exact scale as I have not assembled those yet. Not the best pic but in the background here you can see his leg pose a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've seen a few people painting Horti off Mulch, so reckon you should be able to stick a magnet up his bum and simply magnetise him in place. Not sure how the tree glues in place but it might be possible to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwface Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Your storage solution doesn't seem to solve much. Can I ask what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If you reduce his height, be aware of the impact on line of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Magnetizing the model is a great suggestion. I may go that route. @Screwface, my storage solution isn't for everyone, but it suits my needs perfectly. I have one box for each faction. They are easy to stack and grab, and I allow their limit to force me to be judicial in my collecting. Regardless, to make it work some models have to lay down within (stormcast on drakoth), some have bits snipped off (lord of khorne - but I converted a cool cloak in the icon's place) others require magnets (prosecutor wings).

Screwface Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Can't you just buy a slightly bigger box for your Nurgle stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Of course. I could buy a larger box to fit big models. I could buy more boxes to buy more BB teams. Etc. However, I value restraint and believe firmly that less is more. I enjoy trying to work my hobbies within the limited parameters I set for myself. In this case, I am forced to be creative with this cool Nurgle character. It's a fun challenge! On top of that, I choose the limits to my spending, and space allotment, on storage...not GW (via their model sizes). It's all a personal choice here though.

phalolia Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 what is this nonsense about restrain and self control more is more, and whoever dies with the most minis won anyway good luck on the conversion, sounds sweet if you make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Ha, thanks fellas. In the image above, there are two unlabelled storage boxes on the bottom right. They are empty and waiting AoS models. Probably Nurgle and a second box for my son's Stormcast army (the Stormcast in BlightWar). I recently sold all my Dreadball stuff so those two storage boxes will be re-purposed for AoS. Probably Ironjawz and Flesh Eater Courts. _BUT_ I need to finish painting what I have first. Even BlightWar will need to wait a few months....I have to finish Silver Tower and I just got a BB team in the mail that requires paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Baumann Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Is this guy not on the Warscroll Builder yet? He doesn't appear to be under Nurgle Deamons which I was pretty sure was where he would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
