brettfp Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 So, I had an idea for an army, basically it's just as many monsters as I can get. I'm gonna use all sorts of monsters from multiple grand alliances (meaning it's mostly an open play army) but it's gonna mostly be an Order army. The main idea is that it's a bunch of Empire soldier deserters who have decided to go hunt big game in the wilds of Ghur. So i'll be replacing all the riders/passengers with some wild looking Empire dudes There's a bit of backstory and character in my head, just have to try to put it into words... Another part will be painting all the animals like Australian animals, it's something I haven't seen before and as an Aussie I thought it would be a fun idea, also it'll teach me how to paint colours I don't normally use. So anyway onto the pictures (Sorry for the average pictures, these are the first one I've taken with my new phone) Some gryphhounds Kookaburra, Magpie, Cockatoo. These guys were my test/proof of concept models. A Stegadon Still needs quite a bit of GS to de-Seraphon the markings on the howdah. He's gonna be painted like a frill-necked lizard. I also made a test passenger for it. There's obviously going to be a lot of 'counts-as' in this army, His gun will count as a skink spear Also the start of a spider Probably gonna use an empire cannon as a web flinger on this guy, still need to figure out how though. He's gonna be painted like a red=backed spider So, That's what I have so far... Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 For many years I've waited for GW to give us a beast heavy fantasy army - Wood elves never lived up to it! Oddly right now Stormcast are about the best with all their mystical mounts and allies - however because of how broad and big stormcast are most of their mounts are equally as big and thus rather oversized for mounts for other races. Looking forward to seeing what you make with this army ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettfp Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 So, a bit more progress Finished painting the Gryph-hounds Ibis, Rosella, Gallah Liking how these came out, plus doing colours I don't normally do. Also finished building the Stegadon The idea changed slightly as I built it, but I'm pretty happy with how it's come out. I added some Orc trophies, as I imagine these guys fight a lot of Orcs what with living in Ghur and all. I also tried to make it all look a bit DIY as they're living off the land and don't access to proper to forges etc. I'm putting the Spider on hold for now, as I'm a bit stuck and need to have a think about how to achieve my plan with it...

Looking forward to seeing what you make with this army ! Yeah, that was kind of the logic behind the idea, that it didn't exist. I do plan to use Stormcast mounts, I'm thinking there will be some oversized weapons, Dark Souls style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Prime Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Are you going to attach weapons to the spider, or just have it as itself the weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
