Great! These Schleicher dinosaurs look really good as mounts. And I like your bases...

 

[BeardyGecko]

Excellent! Are they not triceratops though? Is that a TM dinosaur

They are actually Pentaceratops, and cheap

These are fantastic conversions. They worked out brilliantly and look amazing.

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

Very cool mounts. The riders fit very well on them. Great conversion!

 

[Warden]

Wow those look fantastic, very unique conversion! Like they are all riding mini-stegadons. Thanks for the link too. Makes me think how awesome it would be to mount a scar-veteran on top of a full-grown stegadon, carrying a giant war-spear. MASSIVE charge bonuses for everyone!

Excellent work!

Cheers guys, I stole the idea from @classicflava he did some last year and I loved them.

i searched for a while for rhinosaur mounts and these were the best i could find. Still a little small for large cavalry, but the riders fit on them really well

 

[Crowsfoot]

First try with the airbrush, I messed about with a old elf shield I had lying around, did four colours which took around 10 minutes in total it actually took longer to clean the airbrush after use.

Initial observations, citadel paints are a pain to use due to the pot, dropper paint will be ideal (ordered empty dropper bottles to redo my citadel paints)

At first it was hard to judge paint flow but not overly so, you don't need a lot of paint it goes along long way.

Anyway have a look and see what you think.









And detail added,



It would take hours to produce that with a brush, I'm impressed even though I've only used it once.

 

[Bracnos]

Dude I like the dinos you used for your riders I'm going to buy a set so I can have them for primal riders thanks....and you should really transfer all your paints to a drop bottle I did it and now I'm far more organised...Took a long time but we'll worth it...oonce I get around to buying all the rest of the stuff I need for my air brush I'll try my hand at it

That is awesome. I really can't understand why GW doesn't switch to droppers. I've been slowly migrating over to Vallejo paints as a result.

I think that's my next step as well but it's knowing which paints to buy

 

[n810]

Probably because their thick paint clogs them instantly.

I also switched over because they have a range that very closely duplicates GW's old paint range. The dropper bottles are awesome though, even if you are just using a regular brush. So much less wasteful.

I have mostly wallmart craft paint, and a few choice good paints.

Is there a chart as I have money from selling the 40k items

 

[n810]

There is probably one on the site somewhere, I recall seeing a couple...

This is the chart I've been using. Obviously I haven't bought all the paints, but from the ones I have, they have been very close matches.
