thediceabide Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hey guys, I thought I'd share some WIP shots of my Frostlord! Pretty simple, made from the basic kit with some plasticard and greenstuff. Still a lot more work to do on the rider, though I need to wait on some bits in the mail to finish him up.

Lysandestolpe Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 This is looking very nice. I love the idea of using the Thundertusk Horns for the throne. I had similar thoughts trying to utilize those amazing bits. I'm glad to see it worked that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimnaud Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Magnetising the head is a great use of that kit! Brilliant idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediceabide Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 I had better share the progress! The Frost Spear had a more appropriate appearance now, and after looking at my bitz, trying to think of what to do with the left hand, I saw a thumb tack on my table and figured I could whittle it down into an ogre-sized ******. He's definitely becoming an extravagant ogre. Next I'll be adding stretched earlobes with tusks through them, a second chin and maybe some jowls, then it's onto the little things I've skipped, like rivets on the metal bands holding the throne together.

Lysandestolpe Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 This is so cool! What tool did you use to shape the spear blade? I'm so excited about this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so excited about this project! Thanks! The spear blade was just carved out of a thick piece of plasticard. I used files (round) and my xacto knife and just got to whittling!

Ademo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 What a cool project - you're certainly a resourceful guy using that pin.... are you sure you aren't an ork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoollyMammoth Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 amazing. I do a lot of green stuff work, but I still feel like such an amateur. Do you use special tools? Do you have any tips or resources one can use to learn better techniques for using green stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediceabide Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Ears and chins done now. Running out of things to add to him! Might need some bangles on the ****** hand, then it's off to work on the mount. Going to have pile of spoils on the back, and some adornments on the horns of the beast.

I would say practice for a couple decades, but nobody wants to hear that, haha. Aside from normal sculpting tools, I use a set of tools called color shapers, they're basically soft rubber paint brushes with different shaped tips, they're amazing. Also, use plenty of water, spit, or better yet Nivea hand lotion, to keep it from sticking to your fingers and tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediceabide Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well, while I wait on some bits for my Beastclaw Raiders, I thought I'd try out my paint scheme for the Ironjawz part of my destruction force. I have always wanted to do a lava-themed game table, and obviously would need an army to go along with it, so i've settled on a clan of Ironjawz who have settled in the Realm of Fire for a bit too long, causing them to be red-skinned instead of the classic green. I'm trying to keep the scheme fast (basecoat, wash, highlight, edge highlight), and it seems to be working... if all goes well, I may have to do a Bonesplitters army to match.

Steve Rose Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Wow this project looks great. Awesome green stuff work. The paint scheme is striking and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansuz Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Love the demonic look of those Ironjawz. Isn't it great the out-of-cannon freedom that AoS allows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 What a wonderful project log! I'm loving all the details you are picking out, both in modeling and painting. Yeah, I get in trouble when I go out shopping with my wife. The positive effect is that she doesn't take me along much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
