[Landsknecht Mega-Gargants army]

And here they are all together!

Maybe i`ll return to this project to make some small gargants to work as ale-carriers. Or maybe make the 4th one, we`ll see. 

Cheers and happy stomping!

I`ve finally finished the Captain, here he is with his little retinue. Now thats what i call "bossy pants"!

The Arquebusier Mega Gargant. He is a gatebreaker, so he has a ranged weapon) He has cannonballs in his satchel, a horn with some gunpowder and some little friends.

Here is the painted Doppelsoldner.  He is almost 12 inches in height and his sword is 10 inches long. Ive added the Empire soldiers so it would be easier to understand the scale of the model. Ive also decided to make a very simple base, so the main focus would be on the model.

WOW!! What did you use to model these? I love them. Will you release the files anywhere? 

Hello. I use Zbrush for 3d modelling. 

Yes I`ve sent you a link in private messages.

Hello and welcome to my 3D model shop. Here you can find different types of mega-gargants designs that you can download and print yourself on if you want a model that is going to stand out on the bettlefield or a BIG and proper center-piece for your army! These miniatures are multi-part, pre-supported and can be printed on almost any standart SLA printer, like Anycubic Photon or Elegoo Mars!

Here is the link!

All these models are tested and printed many times and you can find the painted results on my instagram! Here are some 3d renders and examples!

Mega Throgg Fanatic! Amazing proxy for Gloomspite Gitz allied Mega Gargant!

 

The Cursed Nurgle Mega-Gargant! 
Look at this wonderful pestilence!

 

 

 

And the new arrivals - whole ARMY of Empire-themed mega gargants! The landsknecht-inspired "Skalstadt Iron Heels"! 

The Captain! Ready to stomp and drink ale!

The Doppelsoldner with a massive flamberge!

And the Arquebusier !  The Gatebreaker!

Here is how they look printed. And some wips.

And the last, but not least - the shooty guy. He is a kind of arquebusier-landsknecht giant. He has a cage with cannonballs and a gunpowder horn. He is definetely a gatebreaker. And the most armored one. 

 

The flail

The gunpowder horn

And a cannonball "pouch" )

The second one is The Captain. Hes got a lucerne hammer, sheathed katzbalger on his side and a big mug full of ale. He is around 24 cm in height.

So half a year ago i decided to make myself a Sons of Behemat army.  Scince im not really a fan of GW gargants - i decided to model my own from scratch. Here are the results and few thoughts about the process. 

So the reason i dont like GW gargant models is that they are just big boring dudes covered in trash, when we have people of Order making armor for giant Stardrakes, the demonic forges of Chaos making armor and weapons for Greater Deamons, etc. I understand that they are barbaric, so the proper backstory was needed. I always loved Ogre mercenaries from old FB and how they use different thematic clothes and weapons  - so i thought about making an Empire-themed gargant pack. The band of giants that work for some great city of Sigmar in exchange for ale.  And the most obvious inspiration for human warriors in Warhammer are ofc the landsknechts. So thats where i began. 

I really wanted to make a detailed and flamboyant clothes for them, but  i also tried to maintain at least some realism in the process. So the thing that took the longest amount of time was designing these "miles" of fabrics and stiches. I also wanted them to look different but still coherent, so they would look good as a group. Truth is - when i began i didnt really think if it would be hard to print and paint it, i just went with the flow)  When I finished modelling and began slicing em to parts - thats when the real challenge began. For me the hard part in modelling a mini from scratch is that you basically need to plan how to slice the miniature in parts in advance. If you dont do that - you will have issues later, when youve modelled some cool stuff, but now you have to slice it in halves, because it wont fit in the printer - and now you will have a seam on the most noticeable place that youll have to hide with greenstuff. And seams are ugly. I always try to hide them as good as i can.  

For the weapons -  i didnt really thought about reimagining them. The classic flamberge and katzbalger - after all, if humans use them in the realms of Sigmar and it works - why wouldnt they just make the bigger copies of these for the giants?  The lucerne hammer is a little stylized, more fantasy looking, and the flail - well i think it just looks cool).  

The bits of armor and helmets were also inspired by landsknecht paintings. I wanted to make a full plated guy at first but couldnt really make his belly look good in the process, so i ended up making just some huge pauldrons - again, to hide seams. The sabatons and shoes were also thought about, but in the end I like the bare feet more. I think they add more character to the model, and these ugly fingers are just silly looking) 

 

If you have any questions about this project - feel free to ask! Right now im in a process of painting them, so ill add the proper photos when i finish all three. 

 

Lets go! The first one is the Doppelsoldner Giant. Enormous flamberge and a huge leather hat, that was heavily inspired by Markus Kruber style from Vermintide. 

This is a huge model, his height is around 30 cm (with the hat and feathers) and he perfectly fits on a 130mm base to be able to proxy a GW Mega-gargant, probably a warstomper. 

And some close-ups

These points are trash. Looks like Tzeench is finally going to the shelf. It took GW almost 5 years to "balance" DoT to this point)

Happy new Year, fellow gitz!

Recently i finally finished a long project making an allied mega-gargant proxy for a Gloomspite army and decided to share with yall. 

Here is a Giant Throgg Fanatic. He`s 9 inches tall, stands on a 130mm base) Designed, printed and painted all by meself. Hope you enjoy, cheers!

[A different take on Mega-Gargants]

I present you my new project - Giant Mega Throgg Fanatic. Towering 9 inches of craziness, colors and mushrooms. A powerful addition to any Gloomspitegitz army or collection. This dude is on a 130mm base and ofc he counts as a Mega Gargant)

It was a long project, but im really happy with the resulsts. Something like a week of modelling, whole week of adding supports in chitubox, 166 hours of printing and another week of painting. But damn, he looks cool)

[A different take on Mega-Gargants]

Hi. 

A little foreword. So when the Sons of Behemat were released i was not really happy with GW view on their giant dudes. First of all I expected something bigger, there was "mega" in the title after all. Second - i am not really a fan of portraying a giant as just a big dumb bafoon, covered in heaps of trash. Third - the conversions that appaled to me were really extensive, almost completely reworking the model. So long story short - I decided to create my own Megagargant from scratch, using ofc the power of 3d modelling and printing. Scince i was a noob - I decided to go easy mode on my first try, i picked Nurgle) Dirt, rust, corruption, all that good stuff that can cover and hide many mistakes) 

 

So after a lot of work here is what i came up with. 

 

 

And the other pics.

And here is my dude in his final form. Little gobbo is for size comparison. He is 23 cm (9+ inches) tall, has proper armor and weapon. Still on a 130mm base. 

After i finished him i understood that i suck at painting nurgle and he looks too vivid and tzeentchy. The Changer of ways has a strong foothold in my painting habbits.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by)

I am already working on my next Megagargant project, themed on a different faction, i hope i will finish him this month.

If you have any questions or feedback- feel free to post. Cheers!

Yeah, thought i had found one of these online for £36 but stock level was wrong!

Anyways, back to the models-

Current plan is to make obnoxious themed bases for all big bois based in the same city as my Cities of Sigmar army- Hysia. The gatecrusher will be smashinng through a stone wall, the Kraken will be on the docks with resin water etc. I believe they're archaon sized bases- 150mm?

Judging by the size comparison i guess they will be on 130 mm bases. The base is roughly the same width as old gargant height.

is the only way that Tzeentch could win against Tier 1 armies

Yes, I get it. But how do you use it? Spam endless spells and hope for good MW rolls?

I see many lists of DoT in top of some tournaments with 5+ endless spells. But no discussion here, why is that? Does anyone know what the playstyle of those lists is?
