I'm going to use it as a waywatcher. my group is pretty open about proxies and alternatives models, I'm pretty happy how this guy turned out. Was going for the strider feel. Love it!

TheGrimKnight Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Did a test model for my "rangers". Going to either use them as Shadow Warriors or Sisters of the watch. I did the arrows to have a "magical" property to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I purchased Victrix Vikings, and they'd be a perfect replacement for Freeguild Guard (spears or swords & shields are easy, but you can probably sell the two handed axes as halberds as well (would fit better, having no reach or charge defense but better rend)), the sculpts are better detailed, better designed, they all have shoes, and they are that bit wider than most historicals so they'd fit in perfectly with GW models. They are also about 43 euros for 60, instead of the 20 you'd get for the same money from GW. Haven't built or painted any, but I will, soonish. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of the current human kit. Just weird pajamas arnt my thing. always struck me as odd they didnt rebrand the bretonnia Men-at-Arms as halberd troops. They have the same units with different kits in 40k so it's not a big deal. I really hope when they do a refresh they make it less old world empire. The undead skeletons from cursed city have great armor kit, if they made a fleshy version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As posted before with me wearing it, I love the Landsknecht/northern Italian/Reislaufer outfit, but that's just the Generals and Greatswords. Some guards have a passable outfit, but most are ugly and all handgunners/crossbows are hideous. I need to do some other stuff, but then I will put a few together.

I did no cleanup except for the nub on the neck (so this is all the moldlines that are in this kit), and the model is a smidge lower than the Guard, but here you go: Edited January 1, 2022 by zilberfrid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 On 1/16/2020 at 5:47 AM, Eorek said: I like to think there are 2 good approaches to this: The first approach you base it of a kit and collect spare bitz from your community/ebay/ etc to spice it up abit. Like the cawdor kit works great as a base. The second approach 'less is more' and keeping the base troops fairly basic while pouring your heart into characters and unit leaders to make em pop and setting the theme. These are epic!! This is the best visual representation of the Freeguild and COS I have ever seen!! Its almost exactly how I imagine them when I read BL novels!!

Cawdor is one upgrade sprue away from being an AoS kit (and Skitarii are a headswap away from being handgunners you actually want to see). This takes nothing away from the artistry, but Cawdor has this awesome Bretonnia vibe. Necromunda gangs are all very good kits. Also, Empire Noble Blood Bowl team.

TheGrimKnight Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Another "ranger" more of a Dunedain style, with mail shoulders. Really just love the lore for AoS to allow for pretty much any type of army you can think up for fantasy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimKnight Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Does anyone have any ideas on a stl file or model that looks similar to Gandalf that's in AoS scale? well old empire/bretonnia scale. Im going to play hallowheart and make an Anointed on foot into a wizard and model them off Gandalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Anvil is one of those old-school models that would be really cool to have back, and putting one on a Hurricanum seems like a great way to use it in AoS.

Kyushuneko has models that might fit well, if you have a printer. Otherwise modified Kharadron Thunderers might fit the bill, they are adequately chonky. Alternatively, you could use artillery, maybe single barrels from a volley gun with a few wheels?

Trickflo Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) There's something about the nomad prince model I don't like so I made a conversion this was my first time really using green stuff for sculpting and not just gap filling and attaching magnets.

Pariah7echo Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 So I've been working on a cities army and the goal is to keep everything dark elf related. I got tired of only using their warscrolls though so I wanted to expand. I came up with the idea to have a priest of khaine become obsessed with guns and so were born my elven irondrakes. (Pictures are terrible because I don't have a lightbox) They're mostly Dark Eldar I had lying around kitbashed with some skitarii guns. I'm working on painting some long beards based on the older dark Eldar warrior kit with corsair swords and executioner heads (their old like longbeards would be. Ha.) And not quite a conversion but my demigryph knight stand ins. Next up is an Altar of Khaine conversion for a hurricanum/luminark and steam tanks from dark Eldar Raiders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
