Cheers, the orange goes:
Mephiston Red (air)
Troll Slayer Orange (air)
Yriel Yellow (air)
White scar (air)
Each getting progressively smaller in glow size as you get closer to heat sourceThen red glaze the outer edges of the flame glow
Yellow glaze nearer to the fire source
Reikland Fleshshade gloss on the metallics adjacent to the heat source for the deeper red glow lookThanks, as I don’t have an airbrush yet I’ll use the regular paints.

WIP on number two Bal Kasta, both need detailing fleshed out but the core concept seems to be coming together. As part of the fluff evolution in their desperation to find the attention of the Suneater these Akursed Bal Kasta have been subjected to the most extreme of Gothi engineering, their unfavoured forms however prove poor vessels for the sheer power of their god being forced through them from Gothi incantations. The weakest of Bal Kasta burn alive, their god devouring their souls first and their bodies withering away after, but a rare few can endure the constant agonising torment, learning to crave its agony as a mark of recognition from a god that cannot stand their presence much less their prayers.
Exalted Volsungr makes even the Bal Kasta look tiny
No words can describe the awesomeness that is this picture. Also what paints do you use for th glowing orange?

Colour gives context so here the first WIP of a test scheme
Pretty good, though you might want to dial back the whole "burning eyes" bit, because thats only supposed to go to true suneater tribesmen(tirbesogor?), as according to lore.

It is indeed shattered dominion bases, I needed a tonne of the 40mm for my less armoured Gullveig (went with cost effective normal ogor models for the 6 latest ones, have a mechanic in mind to explain the more armoured variants) and the kit comes with a tonne of the 60mm which I can now use for Balkasta and Aldin Draken models.
Smart move, I had planned on using the ogryn models when my store didn’t have any regular ogors, but an older player heard my plight and offered to sell me his army for 60$(it’s how I got a hold of Greasus Goldtooth).

And two makes a unit!
We have the unit leader the Ignitor with his little grot banner bearer, and then the all too flamable Fyrestoker bearing an unreasonable amount of fire powders from Aqshy into battle
These are simply amazing, though now I realize I’ll have to make some name changes to the Furnace Kings Furnace Stokers to avoid confusion?. What base are you using? is that shattered dominion?

Friday is payday which will be the start of the Ogor phase of the project with Bal Kasta and less armoured Gullveig up first. When the new stormcast mounts release I’ll do the Aldin Draken
Alright Alright, fyremite!

On the strength of Aelven monsters don't underestimate paired Frostheart Phoenixes with some mage support- there's a reason they appear in a number of tournament winning mixed order lists (along with the dragonmage) and if they don't get a cost increase in GHB2018 I'll be shocked.
eh depends on the mage.
27 minutes ago, Melcavuk said:The flaming Phoenix should work well if his revival is just a command point in 2.0 (assuming here) rather than paying the cost again. For me the phoenixes sit in the same weird void as the arachnok, the ridden versions are flat better but cost the same. I like their Phoenix scrolls but the model strikes me as overly rigid
On that note, why is this the case? I understand these units haven't had the near constant FAQ some factions have had but still.

it's really only recently with DOK and Deepkin where thats started to change.

Plus aelves aren't exactly known for being strong.

Aside from basing I've now gotten the Exalted Volsungr to a stage that I'm happy to call table worthy (Brightened up glow intensity in both the skull and inner joints, sorted flame glow across the added skulls and adornments)!
Gotta say sir, without stuff like this I would have given up on destruction a long time ago.

Cheers guys, I've had to trim some tails off that I missed and added in a few ogor specific parts to the shrine to move further away from the skaven aspects.
This is truly an ogor war machine of epicness!

Making up the final Grot Warscroll for my Suneater Tribes is the Totem of the Suneater, a destruction warshrine that moves with the migrations of Suneaters. The rippling heat and power of the shrine can turn away blades and burn up projectiles before they reach the fanatical followers of the Suneater, but its true potency lies within the trials of flame. Gothi attendants stoke the flames around the giant stone effigy before swinging it forwards, should he prove willing the Suneater musters his energies to belch forth huge gouts of flame from the pyres to engulf loyal warriors, consuming them and letting them emerge unscathed from other pyres of the Suneater. Those who are unworthy however will find themselves consumed by the Suneater in his eternal hunger.
Love the model, an excellent use of the spare rogue idol head. Will the war scroll be posted tomorrow?

It is said that from the day they are chosen the Volsungr, great prophets of the Suneater tribes are gifted with the touch of the volcano, indeed many have been witnessed in battle belching forth great gouts of flame and magma to douse their enemies and leave them to an agonising death. Such things (the gothi say) are the blessings of the Suneater, that his mightiest warriors might one day rival the destructive powers of the volcanic mountains of the realms). They are seemingly untouched by flame from the day of Ascension, feeling no heat nor pain at its prescence. Indeed many take to bathing in the Magmaflows to cleanse their unsightly crevices of parasites that no Gothi can even be convinced to remove.
As a Volsungrs migration spreads across the realms, leaving a blistering scar of scorched earth in their wake, they share in the power gifted to the Suneater with every pyre to his glory lit, the further they travel and more pyres they ignite the more powers bestowed upon them, to some comes the choking cloud of ash that shadows their every movement, choking out any foes who would dare approach. To others the calloused and coarse skin becomes as hard as the stone of the mountain itself, yet more manifest a mighty bellow that can fell trees and shattered the most hardened rock as though the power of a volcanic explosion.
It is said that the most aged of the Volsungr reach such power that they need no migration to follow in their wake, they have become the mountain and their Gods chosen warriors, in time these ancient warriors leave their tribe to the next prophet, migrating across the realms to rest at the Maw of the Suneater, the birth place of their tribes and await their gods command. They take no guard with them, nor trophies or treasure... such things mean little to these mighty avatars of their god, instead only their most loyal of Gothi priest are permitted to (and insisted upon) accompany them to their holy site.
As years turn to decades these warriors fade to myth, yet now as tremors of change ripple across the realm the Suneater stirs from his pit, with a mighty bellow his chosen warriors march forth once more. This once mortal forms changed entirely as their hardened rocklike skin has grown to immense size, no longer can they merely belch the flame, their entire visage has eroded to the rippling orb of flame to drown out even the Sun itself, so much has their power intensified that every crack and crag in their rocklike skin seethes with blistering heat. They are accompanies, as all Volsungr, by their most loyal of Gothi borne high above the battlefield on the shoulder of their prophets. These Gothi are perhaps the most unsightly of the pair, a Grot unlike any other... one that has allowed to both grow fat and old, feasting on the food and treasures their champions no longer require.
