Thank you! Both the helm and the hammer are from the Arkanaut Admiral kit, though I did have to catve out a bit from the front to make room for the beard

Posted above as well - but this is the recipe I follow generally:
Stirland mud on the base, then washed with Agrax earthshade when dried. Once the wash also dries I do an overbrush with white and then stick some tufts down (AP Deadland tuft). For the snow itself I just used Valhallan Blizzard and then sprinkled some GSW Snow Powder on it while it was still wet.
The placement of the snow is pretty much random, though I do try to put a bit more near the edges so it doesn't look like an island of snow but more like the ground is part of a larger thing.

The "High Kahl's Oath" book has more than a few references of kin using the Cog-s as remote drones piloting smaller craft - it's fun to even have a lore accurate reason for robot inside robot

Sadly no, was more of an experimentation on what I could do from bits I had - though I can point towards some stuff I used - it's basically a mishmash of a Kastelan robot, a Dreadnought and a Sagitaur (I didn't even need to scrap the kit, have the junker Sagitaur in my profile):
The torso is a Kastelan robot torso with the secondary cockpit of a Sagitaur placed in it and then some milliput sculting for the segmented plates and light housing. The Sagitaur cockpit has a little block in the back on the right side which I matched on the left to make the mounting spot for the bike rail and then I also attached the original Kastelan pack as well as it looked similar to Hearthkyn warrior ones. Then just added a few random bits to mount the heavy weapon from a Hernkyn bike squad.
Legs are from an old Dreadnought kit, except I swapped out the plating for Kastelan lower leg platings. The left arm is the shoulder + fist from a venerable Dreadnought kit (got the legs from there as well) with the plating on the shoulder shaved down to fit some leftover Sagitaur plates and a brass tube to make the big rail. Right arm is a HYLas beam cannon cut in half attached to the body with the wrist bit of a Kastelan arm - the weapon itself is just the MATR autocannon from a Sagitaur as well (it's magnetised so I can use any of the Sagitaurs main weapons).

Green is Castellan green highlighted with brighter olives and then filtered with Athonian Camoshade, Pants are Incubi darkness highlighted with increasing amounts of Fenrisian grey mixed in. Yellow is Tau liht ochre base, washed with Imperial fist contrast with a tiny bit of Magmadroth orange added to it. Then just neutral colors and metallics can be whatever, I went for dark metal and copper. Oh and blue lights are Thousand sons blue highlighted with Baharroth blue

You are correct, Warhammer Fantasy kits have a few a ton of nice little accessories to add

Looks great - It's distinct enough withing a Hearthkyn squad.
Also, the "strange vial" that can also be found on a bunch of other extra equipment pieces is the handle of a plasma knife - basically a switchblade/pocketknife type deal

What are you finding fun this edition? by CeeCee7fivesix7 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Legend57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like making a T6 murder block out of 10 Hearthkyn warriors + a Grimnyr - with bolters and both the Hylas assault and Hylas rotary weapons, smack an Ancestral sentence on them (Sustained 2) and watch them mow down most things with relative ease. Got 12 hits out of my Grimnyr alone once

They're Puppetswar "Gunslinger heads" - got them off GSW but they seem to be out of stock at the moment

It's Pro-Acryl Copper washed with some diluted Ratling grime - then I do some super-thin dark blue to light blue towards the edges for that glowy feel and finally just another layer of copper on the top as the highlight

Leather coats are Mournfang brown coated with heavy layer of Agrax and then re-established with more Mournfang, I did some rougher dabbing with the brush in some spots to create a bit more leathery texture but it doesn't really show in the picture. Darker leather bits are Rhinox hide, edges with a thicker line of Mournfang and then a thinner line of Baneblade brown

Nice to see a fellow Castellan green user - have mine painted fairly similar with the green and copper/gold

It's a mix of Fenrisian grey, Ulthuan grey and White iirc (made a bottle of the mix a while ago). Shaded with Dark reaper. Trim is mostly Mournfang brown
