My other car is a Mammoth

Forgeworld have released the scrolls for their Tamurkan book. This seemed like a good time to start working on the mammoth howdah. 

I have decided to go for elves. Warriors of Chaos would have been easier as it wouldn't need so many curved sides. The model will be the throne of a particularly ostentatious Dreadlord. 

The deck level needs to house bodyguards, crossbow troops, maybe a bolt thrower, some treasure, a sweet throne and some concubines.

On the advice of one of my many mortal foes it was suggested I add a second floor to make it more opulent and give me more space to work.

Not sure how to attach them yet.

Subtlety and Guile...

...are not important with mammoths.

It's more of a fire and forget creature.

Next I need to build some sort of howdah to house the marauders and/or Dark elves crewing it.

Maybe some armour plates too.

Showing me up.

A friend of mine "threw together some minis from the Age of Sigmar set.

He has not painted in almost 200 years (give or take).

I have to pull out some extra stops if I am going to keep up with this.

In the time it took for him to paint all of the above, I painted one guy.

...and I am not particularly happy with him.

Herald of the Flylord: Finished

Glued to one of my lava bases.

And so the first member of my terrible Chaos horde is ready to spread some ruination.

Now he needs some backup.

Something new... er... For Chaos

Sometimes (almost always) I'll think of something, build it and then realise  it needs to count as something.

This was one of those times.

I had an ogre torso and a big skull. What else was I going to do?

Throw on some dragon ogre hooked blades and we get.

Yeah it's a silly pose but it sorta works better in person.

Herald of the Flylord: Part 2

After a little work getting just the right rust effect, and painting the shoulder pelt, he is almost finished.

I removed him for the base while I work on it.

Herald of the Flylord

This whole Age of Sigmar business has me inspired and the Hordes of Chaos have welcomed me back with open arms/claws/tentacles (after having just sold off my WoC troops :c).

Some blightking bits I found in my, now self-sustaining, bitsbox formed the basis of this Nurgle Herald.

I ended up trapped in my studio by a freak rainstorm so I managed to make a little progress on this adorable guy.

He has been dubbed a "Maggot king".

Secret Project: Third Glance

Still needs an awful lot of detailing, but it has a couple of maws now.

Secret project: Second glance.

A little progress. Enough to guess what it is at least.

Secret project: Sneak peek

Could be anything. Shhhh.
