Murder King: Whipper Unit Filler

In my last post, you read me rant about the ForgeWorld Infernal Guards, especially about the ranking up bit. I thought, the only way to make it right was preparing an unit filler and distribute the troopers around it. So I went on and did a big one, which is 60mm square. Normally I make 40mm unit fillers; but I can't stress enough how disappointed I am with this ranking up issue.

So, what do we have here? It's a slaver & slayer scene. I shamelessly "borrowed" the idea from Abecadar who is a Chaos Dwarfs Online user. The idea was just too good to pass. Not entirely happy with the end product to be honest; but it is as good as it gets.. for now... As for the ranking up issue, it's still there :( This time, I am to blame I think...

Below are some photos of the unit filler. I also took one with some troopers around it. Enjoy.

New Recruits: A Unit Filler and Some More

After a sub-optimal painting weekend, here I am, with a few more models for my Chaos Dwarfs army. I painted some more infantries to make up a few more ranks, so nothing new there, except the very first unit filler.

Educated eyes would have already recognized the bits used i believe. Most of them are from Mantic's again; but there are some bits from Games Workshop products too, like Marauder flail, Chaos Spawn bits, etc... The base is 40mm square so, this one will occupy 4 models' places, which i think the best size for a unit filler. Like before, the base is built from balsa and painted by myself.

This conversion idea was in my mind since the first time i saw the Mantic sprues, though I suspected that I'd need to storm through my girlfriend's ornaments box to make it happen, say, for chains and stuff. That plan was deemed unnecessary when I saw the flails of the Marauders box. When I asked my good fella, Mr. Lee, about the looks of it during the WiP stage, he suggested me that the doggies need to look more "chaosy". Hence, I added the spawn bits to make it happen.

There are a few more photos, to show the other regular infantries I managed to finish. My Chaos Dwarfs army is growing slowly, and sooner rather than later, their skills will be put to test. With many proxigors of course...

İlk "Unit Filler"im

23 Nisan tatilinde Ankara'da olacağım. MetuCon Bayramı bu sene 23-25 Nisan arası. Cuma ve pazar günleri LARP oynayacağım; ancak cumartesi günü Warhammer günü.

Aslında ilk başta, İzmirCon turnuvası için İzmir'e gelen Karargah Kulübü'nden Kyle ile 4000 puanlık bir maç yapma planımız vardı; ancak katılan Warhammerci arkadaşların sayısının artması üzerine, bir turnuva yapma ihtimali belirdi.

İster turnuva olsun, ister 4000 puanlık maç olsun, denemek için yaptığım rosterlerde şunu farkettim ki, core birliklerimin sayısı, olması gerekenin çok ama çok altında. Eksikleri tamamlamak için zamanım az olduğundan, bir unit filler yaptım.
Unit filler, rank and file birliklerde, birden çok modelin yerini kaplayan, o birlik için özel olarak temaya büründürülmüş minyatürlere verilen ad. Aslında uzun zamandır aklımda böyle bir şey yapmak vardı. Daha önceden bahsettiğim CoolMiniorNot sitesinde pek çok unit filler görmüştüm ve aklıma fikirler gelmişti.

Sonuç da fena olmadı gibi...
