For the nautical theme of the Aquifer I present a Grundstok Gunhauler from Kharadron Overlords. In the Age of Sigmar, some dwarfs (or Duardin™) have left their ancestor holds and taken to the sky in giant floating cities that are patrolled and supplied by a fleet of Sky Vessels. The Gunhaulers function partially as artillery platforms and partially as screens for larger ships in the Kharadron Sky Navy.
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From DrQ: Through the Aquifer on a Grundstok Gunhauler (40 points?)
The Gunhauler is the small bois of the Kharadron fleet, despite the fact that they sit on a 105mm oval and stand at over 170mm on its custom flight stand. This is the second that I've painted, and I might add a third to my force before this pandemic is over. We'll have to see—I need to paint the gigantic Arkanaut Ironclad before contemplating any more purchases.
The flight stand is designed to look invoke the Pacific Southwest of the US. It's made out of pink foam and brass rods with pennies underneath to counter balance. The Gunhauler also easily comes off the base for storage.
Apologies on the quality of the photos. It's really hard to focus on something this big—especially when the whole thing is basically glazed metallics.
As far as points, 20 points for the Aquifer and 20 points for a vehicle is 40 total (there's two dwarves flying this thing as well, but I'll leave that to the minions to adjudicate if they count for extra).
Now down to the Adventurers' Landing!

That’s an impressive dwarfy flying thing. Love the metallics and your flight stand.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI agree with Peter, the metallics have come out great.
ReplyDeleteThanks much!
DeleteSome magnificent dwarves in their flying machine, very nicely done. The base is a really good idea too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the GW flight bases. I'm keeping them for my 40k Orks, but the sky dorfs deserve better.
DeleteLove the glowing green!
ReplyDeleteThank you much! Doing glowy bits is one of the real reasons I'd like to have an airbrush—it takes a lot more work with blending than it would with a little overspray.
DeleteNo need to worry about the photo quality, your paint job more than makes up for it! The basing is a brilliant touch too, much better than a plain flight stand. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks much!
DeleteVery impressive machine
ReplyDeleteThank you! These machines are what finally lured me into starting an Age of Sigmar army.
DeleteGreat looking model Dr!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dwarf airship!
