Sláine: Kiss My Paintbrush!
Fomorian mammoth
Each of my forces is being expanded by the addition of a big thing. Not in the rules but very evident in the graphic novels and hopefully this will work at the slightly expanded scale I’m planning on playing the game at. The Earth Tribes will get Slaine’s war chariot and the Drunes a sky ship.
First up then the Fomorians with a mammoth. Here’s the art that inspired this choice:
The mammoth is a combination of a 3D print acquired at the Legionary show in Exeter last month and a Citadel Savage Orc shaman from eBay. I wanted a model with widely splayed legs holding something up vertically and this one fit the bill.
A bit of Greenstuff to cover the hole in the raised foot,green stuff a slight gap between rider and beast and a massive base and we were ready for painting.
Mammoth was painted in the same way as the ombre graduated wet-blend I used on Slough Feg. The mammoth started darker with neat Dark Wood on the underside and inside lower legs; blending into Hardened Leather to about 2/3 of the way up, and the trunk; then Sand Golem mixed in until it was virtually neat Sand Golem across the forehead and down the spine. Tusks were Palid Bone and then decreasingly heavy dry brush coats of Dheneb Stone, Bone White and Ivory focusing increasingly on the ends and upper portions until the last colour was just on the very tips.
Fomorian was painted the same as the others although the feathers on the cloak were Zealot Yellow with a dry-brush of Vallejo Flat Yellow.
Awesome.
Thanks 🙂
Didn’t Celtos also have a mammoth? Or is that just me imagining things because there was a hut with mammoth husks and skull?
I don’t remember Celtos having a mammoth. They have chariots and those massive horses just like Bisley’s art. The barbarian range that had a mammoth was Harlequin/Black Tree Designs. It has a howdah, I’ve got one. Grenadier had a mammoth too but they were true scale 25mm so quite small by today’s standards. The terrain that has the huts with the mammoth tusks is by Scotia Grendel: https://www.shop.scotiagrendel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=2728 This was meant to go with their own fantasy range “Leviathan”. It may make you think of Celtos because Scotia used to own the Celtos range too before selling it on a… Read more »
Glad my 3d printed Mammoth ? found a good home, great job on the whole project
Thank you and I’m glad you spotted it. If I’d taken a card at Legionary I could have given you a namecheck and a link. I’m happy to amend the entry in case anyone else wants one, just message the contact details. As you can see it was perfect for my Fomorians 🙂
