Greetings Terrans, something truly random today – I recently picked up one of those new-fangled ‘League of Votann’ nouveaux-Squats as a free giveaway mini at the local GW… well, seemed rude not to do something with it:
.
I spliced in some Fyreslayer bits & and gave him a CSM head from BS Fortress – no plan, I just wanted to do something a bit different really! The paint job was a bit of a faff – I hate edge highlighting at the best of times, but I hate it even more when the actual edges aren’t very clearly defined… Still, it’s tough to argue with free, and he came out ok I think.
As a side note, last week Jon posted a comment about the Votann, comparing them to the Sontarans from Dr. Who – absolutely spot on with the official GW fluff, and the head that I used is a bit too close for comfort – now I can’t unsee it! As another side note, I think I have painted more Dwarfs this year than I have over the rest of my life… weird!
Anyhoo, that’s all for this post – painting time is a bit limited at the moment, but hopefully I’ll manage to get a little bit of something done for next week. Cheers!
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Great use of a freebie Alex, not really looked at the new Votann, as space dwarves were never my thing, but yours is certainly unique in a good way, as for them now sounding like Sontarans, would not surprise me with GW ! LOL
Cheers mate – I’m happy with him, but certainly not a range I’m in a hurry to revisit… it’s hard to argue with ‘free’ though eh?😂
That is great- I love the conversion work you did. I just painted my freebie as was.
Cheers,
Pete.
Cheers mate – what did you think of the mini?
Not bad- rather tall really though. I may get a kill team’s worth of them but I won’t get a full army’s worth.
Cheers,
Pete.
Perhaps a Dwarf Blood Bowl team is in your future?! Haha! Nice looking mini, especially for free!
Cheers mate, but don’t joke about it – I do have Dungeon Bowl somewhere!! 😬
Haha, I got the Sontaran vibe when I first saw the Votann too! Really nice job here; given the colours and the fire theme (oh, and the size!), this could be almost a Salamander Space Marine!
Cheers dude – he could be a baby Salamander 😂
Congrats on your blog milestone btw – lovely stuff as always mate! If you wanted to get some actual games in next year, I’d be happy to run something on Zoom…
Always good to do something a little different and this one is certainly that. Came out looking great Alex. 🙂
Cheers dude, he’s a fun lil’ thing 😊
This is great, I really like how you have somehow added that grim/dark feel to the model that was not in the model to start with.
Cheers mate, that’s probably just my happy-slappy painting 😂
I say that came out a bit better than OK mate!
The sontaran’s were cool (well at least until NuWho got hold of them!
Cheers Roger.
Cheers mate, glad you like him 😊
