Melcavuk Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) With the fantastic new Bugman model shown I was inspired to make the AoS version of his ancestors Bugmans Rangers. So obviously AoSifying and given that Bugman himself is Kharadron in aesthetic I've taken the thunderers and with mild conversions (mostly heads) made the Bugmans Specials, an elite mercenary unit that cannot be hired on their own, but arrive as bodyguard to shipments of Bugmans Special Ale. Also a Pack Yak for ferrying ale through holds. Depending on how I enjoy painting them they may be the first unit in my Karak Reclaimers, a combined Duardin effort to reclaim the holds of old.

Pagan Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 They look great! I'll be picking up the Bugmansson model too for sure and may well do something similar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 With some final touchups to do I’m pretty happy with the colour scheme for my Karak Reclaimers with the first of the Bugmans Specials nearly done as the tester 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body is a Rhinox, I may try mournfangs for the next ones as they’re easier to source but I had the bits for this one in my bits box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Next up is the Karak, after all what use are Karak Reclaimers without a Karak to fight over. Here are the first two rooms for Karak-Zan the Blood Hold: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggom Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Love em! Will u make a proper cavern/hold to clean house of skaven/baddies? Seems like a legit way to play some atmospheric skirmish games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a legit way to play some atmospheric skirmish games! I'm working on adding rooms 3 at a time (a double tile big chamber, and 2 lesser chambers) the first three are the throne room (double), Tithe room (single) and Ancestral Tree (single). In the next set I'll likely do the foundry (double) and two points of incursion (skaven coming up, duardin tunnelling down) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Work continued with much of the brass added to this half of the Throne room for my Duardin Hold board, hopefully the unifying colour scheme covers any issues with the 40k terrain blending with the AOS, next up is the brass on the upper pillars and the work on the throne 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
