I feel like the white rabbit from Alice Wonderland... too late!!!
Still not done with sculpting :(
Well, I have to let this batch cure and tomorrow I might finish the legs and then it is just some maggots on top.
Not sure how to proceed. Glue Snotlings to the throne first or do it after painting the throne?
They will have to be arranged in a complex pattern to fit the seat properly, so it would be easiest to attach them now, in case they too need sculpting.
But then tey will get in the way of the brush.
Still tempted to just finish it and then send it to Assless for painting...

Looks wonderful really ! For the nurglings I would add a pelt or some slime in which I'd plug the nurglings so they fit nicely. That way they can be painted apart from the rest while still fitting nicely in the whole model and not getting in the way of painting.

Not sure if my painting is up to your sculpting and I have my own entry to finish by Christmas too... Wouldn't say no however.

Great work! How did you the woodcrain? I made a few prototypes of a Heroquest table with cutting unregular lines with a knife in the GS, but that looked not satisfying.

I can't speak for how he did it, but the trick to sculpting wood grain is to use a wide tool. If you use a hobby knife, the separation isn't wide enough.

After a timely nudge from Plaiecivile, I am pleased to present Bro'og the Gorgite, Champion of Tzeentch:

Bro'og%2B1.JPG

Bro'og%2BFace.JPG


Completely unintentional resemblence to any amphibious annoying slapstick alien from a major sci-fi film franchise...

Bro'og was born of chaos, but unlike most of his species, he was blessed with a capacity to scheme and plan. Strategy and foresight were second nature, where his kin were driven by bestial urges. Intricate, interlinked plots saw the flames of rivalry fanned, champions deposed by assassins or fine adjustments to the balance of power...and none of the beastherds realised that Bro'og was the puppet master.

From being birthed into a minor beastherd, Bro'og's schemes enabled him to overthrow opposing beastlords and amass a vast horned horde. Counter-plots and attempts to usurp Bro'og were anticipated and ruthlessley extinguished. And throughout this rise to power, Tzeentch watched, and was pleased with what he saw.

In time, Tzeentch visited Bro'og and bestowed upon him gifts of favour. Bro'og became chosen of the Changer of Ways and his body began to alter in glorius fashion; his eyes protruted from his skulll; a lethal poisoned barb emerged from his rear; he could heal from the most deadly of wounds. Beastman and Thugs and Warriors of Chaos alike flocked to his banner, and he was named Gorgite, Warlord of the Herds.

Parts list:
Body - Beast Face Miniatures minotaur
Head - Warploque Miniatures minotaur
Eyestalks - Hasslefree alien
Ears - Bits box bat wings
Weapon - Beast Face Miniatures minotaur axe with Citadel Zoat mace head
Tail - Citadel Khorne Fleshound

Think that's all :)

Some amazing work on here.
Given that this is one seriously clever idea, I am not surprised.

Gonna have to give this a go at some point soon.
But....which option...?????

Go to the original post of this thread, you will find all there is to know and you will be able to pick the champion that best suits your imagination and/or bit box.
And if you cannot yet decide, let the dices guide your way !

Very cleverly done Mr Tough Guy. I particularly like how all his attendant familiars give a comedic look :)

Sorry, I missed your question.
The trick is not to cut but to scrape.
The green stuff for the planks is mixed with apoxy sculpt to make it harder as scraping does not work on the pure stuff (it works with wood though-good for those coffee stirrers).
I use the GW modeling blade (I like the grip) and move the point sideways over the surface.
As the first scrapes have no guide they will be wavey and the following scrapes are likely to get cought in the first ones and will just deepen them.

@extra time
Thanks. Sculpting is done but I need a week (or so) for painting.
