Hi Di Ho!
Hello everyone, welcome to my first Topic on CMON... *hooray*...
...
Here you can see something that wasn´t actually planned that way...
*Normally* I do one Diorama per Year, normally because of the Golden Demon Competition in Germany... normally I stick to my series (Leonardo DiMiragliano´s...), normally I don´t use any \"Bad\" Modells for my Dioramas... Normally I do GD Entries by my own... well, normally......
I changed my mind after I recognized how long term holidays as a student (my first this year...) can be... I had some time left without really realising that... and after Ben (Komets, he´s in the Team Germany and a Neighbour of mine...) called me to ask, whether I want to come to GD Uk... I said something like hell yeah......
In the beginning I wasn´t sure about doing such a complex project after a short time, which I had because of my \"Leonardo DiMiragliano´s Answer...\" Diorama... It was hard work... So I decided to ask Ben to do something together... Our Styles are quite similar, because he was the one who taught me NMM, plus he always has these ideas, that make a Mini or a Scenery something really special...
In general I had this Idea because of a Movie... \"Guardian Of The Night\", this russian Matrix like rip - off... shortly after the movie starts you can see a Battle between the Forces Of Darkness and the Army Of Light... there are some warriors, which drag a old lady on chains... hmhm...
I was wondering, what is it that makes this old, frail Woman so dangerous, that she has to be heavily chained and drag into a battle like a kind of beast...?... The answer is easy... Magical Powers Within...
I thought about transfering this into the world of Warhammer and I studied the background a bit... in this I found a description of the City Of Praag, which has been under the Siege of Chaos...
\"Nothing was the same again since the assault of Chaos... fearful screams sound out off the Walls, the Floors, the Stones, moaned by those, who are bound forever more... Terrible demonic faces form from blank rock, the border between this and the other World is twisted steadily, the City is turned into a Grotesque of it´s former shape...\"
I sort of liked the Idea of one old, scruffy lady could have unleashed her power to destroy a whole City... she was the Witch Of Praag...
As Ben and me gathered Ideas he came up with a very good one... why not make the ground crush and errupt underneath her wand, as if she casted a kind of ritual spell, in the shape of a 8 armed Chaos Star... Believe me, I liked that image......
There was a Problem with this witch, because a Miniature like this had to be very complex in order to transport that image... she had to be old, fragile and seemingly weak, but evil, extremely dangerous and wicked at the same time...
Our sculpting plans had been discarded quite early (we had not much time left... about 10 days...)... Nevertheless I gathered some Images I found on some occasions (don´t worry, most of the Pics are retaken ones from other pictures... and I gave this last geezer some Nickels, so everybody is happy, I hope......)...
Here you see some of the inspirational pics...
After this I tried to do some concept art, but be warned, they are *seriously* bad (I can do it better, but I was in a hurry to show Ben what I mean so...)...
The problem grew bigger and bigger until I had this vision... \"A Psycher with tits makes a good witch...\"... That was it...... A sanctioned Psyker from the Imperial Army of Warhammer 40.000... another System, wrong gender, but perfectly okay after some modification......
The other miniatures are basically \"new ones\" from Warhammer Fantasy, One Leader with a hand raised in order to stop the Convoi, a Chaos Champion with a Shield, One Executioner with two Swords and a Shaman... all in all quite challenging Rebuilds... The Unit Symbolizes one Greather Whole, each of them symbolizes one Aspect that is needed to take care of a loonatic Olde, which is running nuts because of Chaotic Powers running through her while dragged on chains into the heart of battle in order to deliver unleashed raw destruction, where it is needed... Bam, Bam dilam...^_^...
Good... Enough Blabbering, now the Pics...
Lé Front...
A bit more detailed Pic...
The Back...
From Above... here you can see the evolving Chaos Star quite good...
The witch in all her \"Beauty\"... There is some OSL around her eyes...
The Back Again... You can see that near her the chains begin to respond to the Magical Powers within her, they glow... further, the Show around her and the Star melted...
The Leader... I am not satisfied with the Modelling of the Armed Hand... I still have to improve a lot here... He tied one end of the Chain to his Axe, so the old lady can´t escape...
Back... The Red capes are a very nice contrast to the White Snow and the Rock...
The dude with the Shield...
A bit more dramatic... heroic......
Back View...
The Executioner... he is looking forward being able of doing something useful by slaughtering the nasty Wrench at the slightest move into a bad direction... that´s why he even has TWO swords (two is simply better than just one...)...
...
Back...
The Chaos Shaman... he protects the rest from having some nasty magical headache... additionally, he can creates some hot chocolate from time to time in order to keep everybody happy... and warm...
One Detail... Watch the writing... All in all I chose very earthbound colours to show where the Shaman draws his magic Powers from...
Back view... had some problems with modelling fur here... well, I will improve on that, I hope...
A trophy branch... The Head is rotten long ago, the Skull rolled out of the helmet... now it lies in the Snow...
Footprints in the Snow... I made them with two small feet, one Left and one Right, which I modelled on two matches... Fump, Fump, Fump...
http://www.coolminiornot.com/135382 ... There is the CMON Link, I would be very happy if you vote for our Diorama, I would be even happier if you leave a nice Comment... thanks for your attention, if you have questions, don´t be shy......
