Oh man! Awesome models and paint jobs, really dig that Stegadon! Glad you posted, better late than never! 😊 It is pretty quiet, but heres to hoping it picks up some! Especially with new Kroak coming!

Thank you, I appreciate that! I love coming up qith kitbashes lol fun when they work out. Oh man, I've been waiting awhile for my Celennar lol so excited! I'm a little sad my whole idea for him didn't work out, but still going to be awesome when done I think. Ellania, my Teclis Stand-in, is going to be a Blue-Moon theme. Tonight I worked on my Seraphon, tomorrow back to Celennar this is my full Teclis & Celennar conversion/kitbash Here is also tonights progress on my Unirontosaurian

Looking awesome! Looking forward to more

I have finally began my Ilithian Feathered Lunar Zenith Dragon (Blood Moon Celennar) Been looking forward to starting this for awhile now 😊

Hey everyone! Been a bit since i posted, but here are two fun new kitbashes/conversions I'm working on, including my first major sculpting work! I am trying to finish them over the course of this month and May: My Feathered Lunar Zenith Dragon (Blood Moon Celennar), and my personal creation for my Seraphon a Unirontosaurian, a Sauropod behemoth and sub species of Thunder Lizard. For Celennar I am working on my blending, working from a dark red/maroon to eventually hopefully a bright pink. For the Unirontosaurian I am mainly trying to finish the howdah, I have one major addition left that I'm waiting on bits for I am really happy with how the dinosaur itself came out, its not museum quality, but i learned a lot for my next sculpt 20210415_212604_1.mp4

Hey all! I'm a little late to the party, but for april I'm going to try and finish my Lunar Feathered Dragon (Blood Moon Celennar) and finish building my first major sculpt for my Seraphon! I started Celennar the other night working on blending a bit, for the sculpt I'm waiting on a few bits, but looking to finish the howdah soon. C&C on the work so far is welcome

Hey everyone, hope you're all well!Some real good progress has been made on the Unirontosaurian, and I'm excited to share what's been going on!After a lot of sanding of both the neck and tail, I finally felt comfortable adding a very thin layer of greenstuff. Using the greenstuff to smooth over any hard to get to cracks, etc, I was also able to add some grooves as you see on the Carnosaur model; though admittedly maybe not heavy enough. I also crafted vines to wrap around the neck & tail to be able to add more icons, and "fastening' the large crest ornament onto the neck. The last major part that I used greenstuff one was around the base of the Bastiladon head and Carnosaur crest, making it a bit more seamless.All in all this stage was about smoothing parts out, adding detail, and preparing for the howdah!Now, the howdah isn't super exciting, as it is just the regular Stegadon howdah. i really am just excited to share it with you all because it just looks sO good to me with it on! Very natural and I'm thrilled In the next phase I am trying to figure out her weaponry, primarily the Engine/Rejuvenation Crystal, though planning the flamethrower things also. Using chopped-up bits of a Carno saddle & heads from two knight banners, I use these arms to prop the crystal up above the howdah, and where the Priest will stand (without a chair). Part of me feels like I need a third arm? Though I'm not sure I have the bits for it. Im planning to dig through sprues and my loose bits bag tomorrow to see what I can come up with, the nice thing about the Carno throne arms are the symbols already on them. Any ideas or thoughts on this? Any and all are very much welcomed and appreciated.All in all some really good progress, and I'm really happy with how it is turning out thus far! Still trying to decide on a scheme, have one Idea so far, but going to look through some paleoart for inspiration before deciding.Would love everyone's thoughts, even if you're not a fan! This above all else has been about being a learning experience, I've wanted to sculpt something for awhile and I've finally done it 20210415_212604_1.mp4

As many of you know, I started the hobby about 2 years ago, and I've enjoyed every moment of this adventure. One of the greatest joys i have with the hobby is building, and in particular kitbashing. I love just looking at bits and just seeing how they could go together, having an idea and going onto the Gamesworkshop site and pulling up sprue photos to see what kits have what. Something about making my own creations and just bringing them to life is just something special, I really want to get better with 3D design as an ultimate hobby goal to that end. Another thing I have been wanting to do is get more into hand sculpting and milliput/greenstuff work, it blows me away what people can do with putty. I've started doing more with greenstuff recently, most notably with my Lumineth & Hathorians. I have done a lot of fur work, but nothing that required wire and building heavier sections. With exploring more into the sculpting side of the hobby I've begun to tackle something I have wanted to do for awhile, sculpting a Sauropod unit for my Seraphon. Now, as most of you know I'm already building a Thunder Lizard ( Can check it out here: https://www.lustria-online.com/threads/thunder-lizard-model-project-by-suds.24212/page-2 or my painting blog), however for this project I wanted to steer away from calling this creature a Thunder Lizard outright, I have a couple of reasons for this: 1. Thunder Lizards are huge, Some say the size of Mountains, others say larger; no one actually knows. What we do know is that they were or are among the biggest monsters in Warhammer Fantasy, so large that they are said to be akin to a natural disaster and that just by walking the wake of destruction behind them is miles long. The sheer size lorewise of a Thunder Lizard makes it, at least at my current level of sculpting experience is beyond intimidating. The size also puts a predetermined picture into peoples minds, if it isn't larger than a Stegadon than it must not be a Thunder Lizard.... ignoring that it needs to fit on the table if i plan to play one day, 2. I like to think of the term/name Thunder Lizard as an umbrella term for many different species of behemoth Sauropod like creatures. What we know of as a Traditional Thunder Lizard I like to think of as the largest species, native to Lustria, and also the rarest. I however like to think there are sub species of Thunder Lizard elsewhere, my only evidence for this is the fact that the Thunder Lizard is also found on the Dragon Isles according to official lore. With Thunder Lizards living on the Dragon Isles they must have been a smaller species, a more specialized species for the Island, otherwise they either simply would not fit or would eat everything and starve the whole eco system out. For this reason I believe officially (but really just my own homebrew obviously) there are more than just one species of Thunder Lizard, just as there are multiple species of Stegadon, Gamesworkshop simply hasn't delved deep into the lore. 3. I simply think it is fun to think up new species, the Warhammer world would be a boring and dead universe if the only creatures that existed were what was officially written in. Its our job as the fan base to fill in the middle and really bring out the life of the universe, even if it will never be official canon. With that said, lets delve into what I've been getting into with my new Sauropod model. First things first, the species name, I am calling it a Unirontosaurian, an original name suggested by a friend I really liked and tweaked slightly (his original name was Unirontosaurus). The name if broken down loosely means One (uni) - Moving (onto) - Lizard (saurian), which is kind of funny to me for some reason lol. I picture Unirontosaurian to be large, larger than the big four (Troglodon, Stegadon, Carnosaur & Bastiladon). and more comparable to a Dread Saurian size; I like to think of Allosaurus and Diplodocus for the size comparisons. Not so huge that its the size of a mountain, but large enough an enemy army is going to fear an army that has one within its ranks. More homebrew for it to come, but for the sculpting... For the base of the model I am using the Stegadon body, for the type of creature i want to make it works pretty perfectly, a bastiladon or carnosaur body would work also but I like the scales on the Stegadon for what i have envisioned in my head. with that said, for the sculpt I started with the tail, and this is where I made my first mistake: I didn't use any wiring for it. Really my first first mistake was not setting up the wiring for the milliput in all the areas i'd need it (tail, neck, legs). I used some spare carno/trog spine bits to help shape the tail (I' also end up doing this for the neck), and for the diplodcus tail whipe feel i used a keeper of secrets tail to give that slender tail tip look. From the tail I went to work on the neck portion, using a bastiladon head for my omivourous sauropod. Here i had learned part of my mistake and used some wire for the neck, the neck was still a pain to do however. Part of the reason for my troubles was simply not knowing that getting milliput wet like i do greenstuff was not a good idea, it kept getting weak and crumbling. so after resting the head on the cork to keep the neck break in place it eventually set. I however at the time didn't realize how much the resting of the head had altered the positioning of the neck, putting it more upright and making part of the neck awkward. Looks like she's bellowing out a call, which I'm pretty ok with to be honest. Overall the neck looked good to me (hindsight should have smoothed it out more and checked out the necks positioning better before settling) but for sure had its pain in the ass moments. Llearning from my mistakes i put some wire into the plastic to help with sculpting the legs and better support, shown here with blue tac. From there I began adding some bits, I started thinking about what kind of natural defenses this species would have since earth shattering size wasn't on the table. Naturally her tail whip came to mind, and her horn for offensive weapons (as well as defensive), but what about on her? I decided that having two hind spikes on her legs would be good, guard her legs and side. Ontop of that adding a few spikes to her shoulders/neck for if something tries to bite there (of course her scales might break a few teeth/claws). I also thought having the crest to defend right behind the head would be a good natural option withought being too outrageous. Next was some shiny ornaments and such since all Seraphon/Lizardmen beasts of war have it, so I added two icons on her tail (milliput rope/chain connected), a tail ring towards the end with something hanging from it, and the large stegadon jeweled crest. I am still undecided if i will add anything else in the shiny department, thought i have 1 idea for the neck i may pursue but i don't want to over do it. Next on the list, which I've already begun working on is some sanding, filling with greenstuff and some greenstuff scale work to make the transition from the scaley top to the fleshy bottom a bit more natural. I am also considering magnetizing her feet so that she can be placed on both a 120mm oval as a stegadon but also on a 170mm oval for a custom warscroll/ruleset. I wanted to show her next to my Stegadon for size comparison My homebrew lore has stated for awhile that my Temple Host has learned to harness large behemoths of the mortal realms, and from a time before even the Age of Myth... it is time that such creatures begin to fill the ranks of my Temple Host's Cohorts.

First of two Sotek Engines done for my Thunder Lizard! These will be going under her side platforms

Super late to this, but thank you for the birthday wish! Hope your day/night is going well man!

Thank you very much! A lot of fun ti build and such!

My scheme isn't strictly green, but it has green for one of it's Mountain Temples. My two Temples are about Rebirth & Destruction (Dormant Volcano Spirit vs Active Volcano Spirit). You can see the green schemes on the spirits and a Truestone Seneschal here

Not a hobby post (though I have one coming soon), but today is my Birthday! Turned the big 33 yesterday and I was already in a great mood but my girlfriend surprised me with this... she worked on it during the night when I slept... Very special, all of it. Monty Mole & Yoshi are who we play when playing Mario Party on our Switch I'm quite speechless & overwhelmed with joy at this time. Hoping to get a hobby post out soon... have a very nice Blissbard seeker and a few other things to share... Until then, Happy Birthday to me!

"OH! I know, it's a cake!" - My Big Fat Greek Wedding What do you think of my Teclis & Celennar Ca-... Base!? Gonna prime it all still but added mud for texture/ added protection for the Styrofoam below Celennar above with Teclis down below is the plan lots of grass and such to eventually be added amongst the ruins I won't be using Teclis himself however, planning to use Ellania instead with some modifications 20210323_170846_1.mp4

That means a lot! Thank you! 😊 My army is a bit more colorful than others lol a few different schemes

Welcome! Ha! I am also glad you stumbled across my little creative hideout! Much appreciated! Yes! Lol! My armies are not your tradtional 1 scheme throughout, but more of a mesh scheme? Based off old armies where each battalion or whatever was a different color. The idea is that a few core colors run throughout but each type has its own unique core colors also. Vanari Infantry a volcanic black vs Temple 1 of Alarith which is Regrowth Green (vs Temple 2 of Alarith being Volcanic... i have a rebirth & Destruction theme for my Alarith as they commune with 2 Volcanoes, one active one dormant). I think in the end the Lumineth army will really come together and look awesome, or so is the hope! Lol Thanks for stoppin in! More stuff to come have a pretty big kitbash coming for my Unofficial race the Hathorians

Wasn't feeling great today, but I wanted to get a little bit of painting done, so I worked on the High Tempter for my seeker mount! Some good progress, though a lot of touch ups and still a lot to go on him. The biggest parts done tonight were purple hued silver parts and his helmet. I ended up filling the design in the purple part of the helmed with gold. I'm still on the fence about the skin tone, darker vs paler, kinda thinking a tad darker? We'll see. Pretty happy with the progress thus far! Looking good with the mount

Haha! Thank you, i appreciate it! I'm not sure anyone can be quite prepared for the Highland Cow 🤣 The Seeker i think might be my favorite model to date so far, the mount has turned out super well thus far. Working on the High Tempter now, hoping to be done with it in the next day or so! Thanks for checking out my thread!

Making some good progress 😊 20210315_232317_1.mp4

With the finishing of my Lunar Zenith Mage, shifting gears a tad into a narrative force of Slaanesh. The leader being a Shardkeeper, and under her control a host of Blissbarb Seekers, Slaangors, Fiends, Daemonettes & Mortals. Ever since the Spirefall they have pillaged and brought beautiful agnoy to the Illuminated Ones, or so they sre deliciodeliciously called. I have yet to come up with a name for the small force, but it will eventually grow into a full army as my Shardkeepers reign strengthens ... The Start of this Narrative force begins with my Blissbarb Seekers, Inspired by one of my girlfriends favorite paintings, Hummingbirds and Orchid by Martin Heade, my Seekers are not going to be the traditional colors. Here's a look at what I have so far! Tip for quivers: as the arrows are fragile, i have opted to glue mine to the side of the Seeker itself, and it imo looks better and and more natural. I carefully clipped the fingers off the arrow and glued them onto the hand (greenstuff would have worked also) Just thought id share for any others who have nearly, or already have, broken some arrows.

Also quickly finished these two, or to a point where I am happy with them, my first Scinari Cathallar & Second Truestone Seneschal. I challanged myself to only dry brush and use shades on the Scinari Cathallar, I think it came out real well given the challenge. The Truestone Seneschal is for my second Alarith Temple of the Destruction & Rebirth theme.

Lumadek Lunarheart, Insular Guardian of the Moonlit Isle "Where he walks moon light is left as footprints, his blessings of wings from Celennar spread wide in Lunar beauty. Upon lunar stones, ancient tears of Celennar, Lumadek Lunarheart communes with the moon high above his mountain perch. With moon bright eyes he sees what other Aelves can only hope to see in a life time." I am officially finished with my Myari model from DireChasm, what a fun model! I decided, as the blurb suggests, went with a Lunar theme instead of a tradtional Solar theme. Being from Ilithia (homebrew) felt it more appropriate, and the fact he had an owl. Really love how it turned out. This may or may not also be a test scheme for how Celennar may look, with a few tweaks.... C&C welcome! VID_72900317_011410_694.mp4
