This looks great! I love the Vulture as well. Nice and dark for the Hortennse.

Is he going to be on a Disc?

 

Indeed he is...

 

Looking gooooood!

 

Thank you. And now the hard part!

 

Great progress on Hortennse! I love the base, both the vulture and the skulls look amazing!!

Keep up the great work, you are picking up pace

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thank you.

I got the big skull in the front from the old giant kit. It's my favourite part of the base.

 

That is a great classic chaos model!

 

Thanks @Warden . It's the Gamesday 2009 Limited Edition Exalted Hero of Chaos!

 

Nice! I was originally thinking it was the old Crom the Conqueror model but wasn't sure.

 

That's a cool model too!


My original plan was to use my Archaon on foot model, but he was a little to bulky for the disc. It just didn't look good. Then I remembered that I had this guy in my collection and the fit is much better.

 

It's a perfect fit actually.

 

Thank you! It took quite a bit of work to make it fit together, but I'm extremely happy with the results.

• filed the metal tab of the model so that it matched the arc of the top of the disc
• I cut a slot into the top of the disc
• epoxied the tab into the disc
• green stuffed the bottom of the disc so that the tab is not visible
• green stuffed the top of the disc to fix the foot alignment issue (since the model is designed to stand on a flat surface and the top of the disc is convex)
• created a custom acrylic housing unit accept the 1/4 acrylic dowel

Now after investing so much effort and it (surprisingly) turning out exactly as I had planned, I'm afraid of messing it up with a subpar paint job. I haven't touched the model since. My eye has already begun wandering towards other projects!

 

Why finish what I started when I can start something new?! Another base...

 

There is nothing wrong with this approach, otherwise we'll all be in big trouble

 

The secret to keeping the hobby alive...

 

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one!

 

Hahaha, you are doing the same thing as me, but backwards! I suck at following through on basing my AoS models.

 

Hahaha... you've got me beat then. A painted model with an unfinished base is worth a heck of a lot more than a finished base with an unpainted model!
