So, i have a few blogs on here. Originally I was trying to kind of set up subgroups of projects, but I'm honestly not sure how that's actually working out. So I think I may shift back to just having everything (except maybe lore and my Conquest models) back into this paint blog.
With that said, lets get down to the new happenings!
Ive been busy expanding the Hathorians a bit in preparation for Animosity 3 (you should go check out the prologue i wrote for them, part 1 of 2 or 3, in the fluff/stories section) which includes adding a new unit to the roster: Highland Warriors/Hunters (name pending).
For these units I'm going for a...someone described as a pack master vibe? The idea is that one Hathorian warrior/Hunter has these warwolves (or are they wolves??) and as they charge into battle together the Hathorian does a volley of javalin or throwing axe (also debating slings) before joining the wolves into melee. The hathorian in the picture is not the one that will be on the stand with them, but simply there for sizing reasons. They will be on the same size base as Maw Tribe Mournfang pack, and I'm thinking 5 per unit and them being a battleline, making them the first battleline unit.
"But Suds, ARE they Wolves?!" you ask, and I respond...."Sorta yes, sorta no'
behold....Wolf-Deer Hybrids!
So! I know this wont be everyone's flavor, and that's ok, I personally love them lol I really wanted wolves, I know it doesn't make total sense, but I really wanted them. I really love the ferisian wolf models, so it kinda worked out perfectly in that regard; it also allows me to practice making antlers! So for these I took paperclips, cut them, and then put them where I thought the "Root' antler would be and used greenstuff from there. To get the smaller points of the antler i simply pulled. It's hard working with GS like this, so I need to figure out a better way to make them. i think for my first two pair of antlers though they came out ok, definitely room for improvement though! i also added hooves to the back paws, this allows for better stamina, speed and agility when running

I think it's a pretty cool and unique concept that I'm excited to see through.
I need like... 8 or more spirit of the mountain heads though...so if you or anyone know you has an extra.... lol
All in all, I think these will look cool, and my first 40k purchase...although other than wolves i don't see myself buying 40k stuff.
Any thoughts? I'm curious what people think, even if not our tea cup!
