Most boring part of painting is base coating, and I have six more of the Killa Kans. Then the rest of the mob too. I was thinking of doing the base black for everything, but I can see it getting very boring and tedious task if I went down that route. It was hard enough to get the enthusiasm to even start. |

Well I finally decided it was enough. It becomes less fun when I'm trying to replicate the 40K version into Epic by trying to do every detail. Even though I'm delighted how they turned out, I had to remind myself not to try and replicate every tiny detail. I still want to add a set of weapons to the top of the Gorkanaut on the right hence the hole, but unsure what yet. I hate trying to make missiles and rockets. I also missed out the horns on the belly, not only because it meant modelling them, but I just didn't like the look of them.
I added an additional layer to the legs as they looked too thin and re-pinned them. This made it more stable and I would glue it together after painting it. The hood also is removable for the purpose of painting. I took a picture before mounting the arms and weapons as they looked kinda cute with the buns on the side of the head. In the end I didn't re-size the claws and just shortened the upper arm. Although looks complete, I'm still considering on whether to do the extra details.
Nowhere near finished, but I thought I'd do a quick size comparison. Although the original plan was to make the Gorkanaut smaller than the Stomper, it would also mean it would be almost the same size as the Deff Dread. So it's worked out not too badly. Having a 360 degree image available on Games Workshop website gave me plenty of detail to work with and I found myself trying to replicate every little thing. I had to stop myself eventually when working on the claw. Although now I'm wondering if I need to start again as it looks too big. What do you think?
Well progressing a bit slower than expected due to the scale. Going to go ahead and just see what happens. Although making two at the same time should be quicker and using the template of one for the other... but make one mistake and it's replicated. Would have liked to make the legs thicker and more angled. A bit late now though and I don't want to correct all four.
