Speaking of building things... I built every Beasts of Chaos model i have! I did not convert the bullgors to Hathorians as i had planned ( i may still to the 3 unprimed ones) as doing 3 already i have learned that doing fur on bullgors is just a real pain in the kisser. So i might wait until new Bullgor models come out (lord help me) and focus on Gors and other aspects of the Hathorian military (such as the new artillery piece). This is a picture of the Warherd/Warfold. this picture is before the changes to the priestess. Oh also, i built 3 headed Cygor haha

I also wanted to show a picture of Helaku and Heba together, so here it is.View attachment 112805 View attachment 112806

As someone who enjoys his beast/animal representation in a faction I wholeheartedly approve of artillery bears. Looking good!

Warhammer has always needed more bears. Artillery bears are perfect! The cloak on the priestess is incredible. That model is truly exquisite.

I agree and I honestly thought of waiting for Kislev for their armored bears for this, but the mournfang without the tusks just looks so much like a short faced cave bear that its too good to pass up. Ill have to add a few more Lumineth bits obviously, but yeah, I'm stoked for more bears and we definitely need more! I wanted two Ballistas in my Lumineth army, so might have to do a second one sometime haha
 
Wanted to share a small update on the Priestess/Shaman, making some good progress.

I made a Red-Brown mixture for the skin tone and then an Ochre for the longer hair parts. I didnt do fur on this model like the others for a few reasons - 1. To get fur into some of the spots would be a nightmare given how compact the model is, and doing greenstuff work on sub assemblies sounds like a true pain also. So I opted to keep it less fury and more Beastmen like and lorewise to possibly have the females less furry than the males? Haven't fully decided that yet. 2. I am planning to use all these Hathorian models as BoC also, so for Narrative games (solo in particular) would be nice to be able to tell them a part 3. See 1 again lol

I ultimately love how the model came out, but i do wonder about the fur and Lumineth torso, but here we are lol anyway

For the cloak i did a combo of Grey, Apothecary white, Skavenblight dinge, Eshin Grey, Nuln Oil and Aggrax Earthshade - going for a grey wolf pelt feel. The staff i decided on a white wood/bark and have so far done Pallid Wych Flesh base with Apothecary white over it, leaving the PWF a little runny so the Chaos Black primer shows through a little in spots, making a birch-ish feel.

For each of the Aelemental Tablets they carry I made each a different color corresponding with what Aelemental: Blue (with some green) for River/Water, Slate Blue/Brown for Mountain/Earth, Grey Blue/white for Wind/Air and Yellow/Orange for Light/Solar. The River tablet I kinda mucked up but is ok, the rest im pretty happy with, ill get a better picture of them later.

Began the face last night briefly, decided on a natural look, so matched Red-brown and making the horns a more white with black accents.

The crystals on the staff i am going to do in an Amber / Yellow look I think is the plan at this time, but early in!

For the cloth bits im doing a russ grey base and going from there

the Lumineth Torso is going to be painted in a Syar scheme to hint at the turbulent past during the Spirefall between the Hathorians (and my Lumineth) between a few City States in the Syar Region. Though, addmittedly, i have a spare Cathallar brazier i wish I had remembered about before priming, would have been awesome.

All in all, coming along well I think! Very happy with it so far

C&C welcome :)

Also! A happy accident in regards to my Thunder Lizard! Yes the same one that's been a WIP for nearly 3 years o_O:p

I was looking at sprues and noticed that the Keeper of Secret sprue has a unique set up and kinda makes the base of a Howdah (at least to me). So i cut it out and it is now the base for my new Thunder Lizard howdah

No plans to work on her yet, or soon, but i did dust her off and began working up ideas in my head for her base

Ok! I hope everyone is doing great, I'm doing pretty well myself. Been pretty busy with school and some other stuff but I have also been making time for hobbying of course. Yesterday was also my 10 year anniversary with my wonderful partner Jess, so that was a great day (minus the Exams we both had haha)! Today is a wonderful snowy April day and I am just relaxing taking it all in, going to make myself a nice hot chocolate in a bit I think!

but first.... lets get down to business... to defeat... the Huns...

err... or something!

Here are some fun Hathorian and BoC updates to go with that Dragon Ogor Shaggoth I shared earlier! To be fair, I have done some painting but I have largely been building and trying to make it so I have less to build lol I have also been doing some reading and writing too.

First up: Hathorian / Lumineth Mobile Ballista on Mountain Bear.

View attachment 112795 View attachment 112796 View attachment 112797 View attachment 112798

As many of you know I have wanted to do something like this for a long time now and had an original design, admittedly much bigger. With the release of the lumineth ballista however, I am able to rethink how to make it, as seen below. Originally I had a HUGE ballista carried by two bears, the ballista itself was made of the jaws shown here and two Thundertusk tusks and a few other things. With this new design not only can it be on a smaller base (woot!) but also I think has the true vision of what I wanted, a fast-moving artillery piece, not another lumbering war machine.

I definitely have some updates to do on it such as adding fur/pelts to the base on which the current lumienth is standing, this will help cover up the base and make it more natural-looking. I am also planning to add more lumineth bits to bring it more in line with the Lumineth/Hathorian look. I am also considering swapping out on or both Lumienth for Gors made to look like Hathorians. This is also the first unit to highlight another aspect of the Hathorians and not the usual large hulking males you see, yes I am speaking of the female half of the race - the more agile and such half. I apologize also, but there will be no tiddies, just lots of hair all around!

I'm really excited about this artillery piece, though it doesn't make me want to stop making a catapult that I had the plans for in my head haha!

Any C& C is welcome!

Speaking of the female half of the Hathorian race....another Real big conversion/kitbash I have been working on is a Hathorian Priestess/BoC Shaman! The idea for a priestess has been in my head since I originally began developing the Hathorians, just wasn't 100% sure how to do it. I had a plan to use a BoC shaman and a head from the Lord Regent mount, but somehow I lost that bit (still looking for it) and the project was put on hold. Fast forward to now and I have basically a dream model. Using a left over stoneguard bit, cygor crystals, teclis bits, a spare warden torso and I crafted a fur cloak. Just a lot of fun to bring the homebrew to life.

View attachment 112799 View attachment 112800 View attachment 112801 View attachment 112802 View attachment 112803 View attachment 112804

there will be more homebrew lore for both of these on the Hathorian page I think is the plan once I get it fleshed out.

Another post coming after this!

C&C always welcome

Awesome creations! The artillery bear (arctillery bear if you make it a polar bear :p) is amazing great idea behind it. The only thing is that the quiver has to be carried along.

The priestess looks so good. Very cool cape as well. It is quite small than I thought at first sight, but for a female Hitorian that isn't a shame.

Have fun painting them

Grrr, Imrahil

Thanks man!

Arctillery lol that made me laugh, good one lol we will definitely have to see! I was thinking more like Paleo Shoet Snout Bear / Cave Bear drawings though. Love the Pun lol. As for the quiver, I don't really mind it tbh. On the original Lumineth model it would have had to be carried anyway, given the design Im pretty sure both quiver & ballista would have to be carried. If you look at the feet of both my guess is tue legs kinda fall vertically for easy transportation, or how i view em anyway. Ppl have suggested adding to the bear also, and, meh - feel like that'd be a lot of added weight.

I really love how the priestess came out for sure, the cloak im especially happy with. I semi regret the Lumineth torso simply because I found the original bit I wanted to use, but oh well... will have to make a second sometime :p
 
I am very excited to share this finished project, my Hathorian High Priestess (Homebrew Faction)! This was such a fun model to convert & pain and add to the roster of the Faction I have been building for a year now. This is the first true caster for the faction and I'm pretty pumped to get to working on the warscroll!

The bits I used for this project come from multiple kits which include the BoC shaman as the base, Cygor crystals, bits from Teclis, a greenstuff sculpted fur cloak, among others.

The Hathorians are allies to my Lumineth, in particular the Alarith Temples, though they have a bloody past with the Lumineth as well. This is where the torso of the Lumineth Warden comes in, as it is a nod to the bloody history between Syar and the Hathorians during the Spirefall. This is also because the model servers as a Hyshian Beasts of Chaos Shaman.

I'm also excited to share a group shot of all the conversions ive finished for the project so far in the end pictures. All the models made for this project also double (or triple) as other models in other factions. Some of the models include: Avalenor, Spirit of the Mountain, Ghorgon, Cygor, Shaman, Light of Eltharion, Doombull, etc!

Next phase of Hathorians after this: The smaller and more agile part of the population that has yet to he revealed / explored, but they are the ones that come from the brush in ambushes with wild beasts from the mountains and highlands of Hysh. They are also the ones who engineer and control what artillery the Hathorians may have, that's right, the females of the Hathorians!

Thank you, I absolutely love how she has come out. Though after some feedback im wondering if her face should have been a different color, or if i should have made it a mask like the others. Probably, but here we are lol if I change it at all I may make it white like Hasets

Thank you man! I absolutely love that photo too, shows a lot of work and creativity from the past year, now to finish the last two official Hathorians! Or, eventually at least lol. I have Animosity IV coming soon, so need to save some stuff for that to paint for the campaign.
 
I am going between AoS projects and Conquest projects, so here is what i worked on tonight so far for AoS! You can check out the progress on my Apex for Conquest here:

For AoS I am working on my Hammerhead Allopex, again just some base color work. Going for a more natural scheme for the shark. Dark Reaper on top with Pallid Wych Flesh on the bottom so far

Debating between keeping the shield vs giving him 2 weapons, the second weapon would be his original mace in the shield hand...

Thoughts?

He kind of reminds me of a Lynel from Breath of the Wild. Shield would look good on this model I think.

As always, really amazing work! Looks incredible.

I think shield as well. It can serve as a weapon as well, with all those bits hanging off it.

The shield on his behind legs is a cool addition.
Not so pumped about the wing though. Seems that there is to many going on with the model.

Grrr, Imrahil
