Blog Slannta's Workshop

Its cool @Crowsfoot I know your trying to help and I am lost to an extent but my new job stability is going to help me sift through them all now I got lost when I ordered afew joblot armies and forgot to update my lists so drowned in the -"aaaah I don't know what I have where" stage but now I'm listing them again as a count so I can figure out what I need to do. Sorry if anything I said came across as rude to you I don't want to upset anyone on this forum everyone's so nice and its the only forum on the internet I belong its my first one too if anyone recalls me saying .

I'll post my next 2 shelf counts sometime soon just for my own reference if it infuriates anyone that I'm just counting them up at this stage sorry.

 

That's me!

 

Impulse purchased 46 post-it-note holders to use as scenery - they actually work really well as a multi story housing unit for my Lizardmen - I'll have to show you sometime they were 10p each - I need to make them more aztecy or mayan but they already have a feel to them that I like. also though they looked like fantastic scenery for sci fi towers too.



And my Slann council has assembled to debate whether or not I need to buy more Slann...





My phone does take better pictures but it's dark in there at the moment

Top is 3 forgeworld Slann
then 5 kroaks then 2 old slann on pigmy slaves a warmaster one on floating palanquin 3 starmasters 2 more warmaster of the other variety and a kroak
then 5 Starmaster (the middle primed one is who I'm going to paint first - may the Old ones look favourably upon his fate) then a Starmaster on palanquin off to the side and behind is like 6 5th age Slann and elsewhere parked are like 9-12 palanquins xd

 

The answer is yes... the Old Ones demand it!

 

So many Slanns...

 

But never enough. There can never be enough!

 

Your Slann inspire me to make several more, and make a suitable place for them to convene their councils upon.

Something like this picture, except minus the meteors and general carnage.

 

So the meteors really did make the dinosaurs go extinct...

 

Looks like the perfect place for the Slann council to convene

 

So I haven't got around to painting yet will do some later while watching a film spent a good part of yesterday putting the Lizardmen I don't want anymore onto a table to sell - here is the result ignore the extremely tidy room in the background:



Approximate estimated value in the 1400-1500£ region gonna shift em for 1000 if I can now onto painting ... see you all later with the results

 

Oh and before I forget - I picked up this model which inspired me to make room in my collection -

 

My first stab at painting has begun the paint is really nice and shinny which is pleasing for the eye but bad for pictures in the light conditions I have I think - C & C welcome-

 

Progress on my first Slann painting I need to revisit the jewellery at some point maybe I need a magnifying glass or better light a nice desk lamp might help - its still a grey a lot of this guys colour scheme is dark and stone jewellery seemed like an okay idea ill need to do more to it though.

 

This is my steg progress - I really don't do the paints justice but I'm using my paints from Privateer press Hordes Circle Orboros colors

I went abit heavy on the steg's skin i'm not finished I take breaks from painting one bit and start on the next section of the model before finishing because I'm crazy mad

 

So I'm hi-jacking? my own thread mwhahaha -



Made some green stuff snakes out of what I had spare from my main project

the cobra I'm proud of the other 2 snakes I made are shamefuly misformed



The idea behind this one was that he'd have a lump in his belly from eating something A concept I have an idea of how to improve in the future.

And then you can see glimpses of my main project above:





These will form a mini pyramid palanquin for one of my Slann - all going well

 

I like the base! Lots of characterfully Mayan looking script on that last one.

 

So my main project is a 'large' pyramid I have that I'm going to put magnetised triangle segments on it has 4 sides with 9 triangles on each -

Here is the concept I drew out the temple city icons in sets of 3 and the idea is that they rotate to form the icon of some of the major cities - I only have 12 planned for now but might do the rest since I plan to have them as a changeable component.

I've attempt to do one side so far free hand to see how it will turn out I used some aides to make the markings though - here are the drawings so you get what I'm on about hopefully.

Concept Drawings -



Sun City

Moon City - forgot to rub out the outer line for the mouth type section - which translated into errors when doing this design in green stuff


Destiny city symbol - same problem here my drawing lead to errors in making and isn't the best also I drew these after cutting the triangles xd

So here are my green stuff triangles drying I separated them abit so they didn't stick together.



The sun city symbols are easy to see here the rest are a bit faded I didn't press to hard on the others. I'm hoping they fit back well together when they are cured

 

Here are my other pairings (pairing for 3? groupings I guess - we'll go with groupings -here are my groupings) of temple city icons - only in drawing form at the moment.



Temple city of gold icon



Temple city of ghosts



Temple city of ash

these 3 went together well because of their shapes

 

So I drew the first section of these temple cities before cutting them out because 3rd time around it seemed less of a struggle doing It this way first



So this would be the city of the awakening



This one would be the temple city of echoes



Temple city of stars
