You are not alone Reg06, I cant help seeing them either. The times I have seen great conversions etc and gone "Wow thats amazing! ........but look at those mold lines." Its an affliction I am sure. Forced mold line removal also doubles my painting/construction time :( I can't help it.

Almost can't go wrong with devlan mud wash, doesn't matter what it is. Give it a go.

It's like Christmas!!!




2 Stonehorns, 1 Ironblaster, 3 Mournfangs and the Army Book. All the new finecasts are also on their way! I think my dog is thinking "I wonder how long it will be before he notices me again"

And even more arrived today:


Like a fat kid in a candy store...    :shock:  :D

WIP - Lowrider Mournfangs! (didn't like the silly high up saddles)


Used a bit of sprue to seperate the legs, and trimmed some off the front of the legs to make them fit. Used a regular gut plate too. Will fill in the gaps with Green Stuff.


Shaved off a bit of the saddle mount, as well as drilling pins for horns on the back.


Cut the horns off the saddle section:


Drilled them out for the pin:


And mounted them to the new saddle:


Also started on magnetising all arm options:




Just a little way to go yet... =(

If by RAW, you mean "Reg06's Audacious Whims", then you'd be right.

Time for a big...
WIP PLASTIC UPDATE

First off, my two big fellas. Have magnetised the crap out of these (arms, tails, heads), just need to figure out how to magnetise the back piece / back rider and it'll be good to go! (and base it, and paint it too I guess...)


I wasn't too keen on two Stornhorns facing the same way, so I butchered one of the heads so that it is now looking straight ahead with it's head thrown back a bit. Just need to sculpt some fur to fill the gaps!


Next up, my Ironblaster. A very busy model, but I like it a lot! Got another one on the way, was accidentally not packed in my order. I didn't like the sheild thingo above the cannon so left it off.






And the first of my Funny Little Fellas. I tried to have the gnoblars doing funny things in these models, like telling the rhinox where to go!


And on to my Mornfang Lowriders!
















And a few more Funny Little Fellas:






Wheeee!!!!!

I didn't really realise how much of an improvement it is until I compared pics:




Huge improvement!!!

Also, I smashed out 60 Gnoblars today, 40 to go! Just have to do their weapons... I now feel for Horde army painters!


Surely someone can give me a Gnoblar for that effort?   8)

You can have a Gnoblar for the lowriders and the purple horde.

I has question though, How did you tweek the actual saddle, because I believe you explain the horns and the legs, but not the actual seat.

Thanks!

I don't actually use the saddle at all. I just shave off the corners of the bits the saddles glue on to on the mournfang bodies using a scalpel so that it is nice and flat. You can see the white bits in the picture are the corners I have cut down.

Thanks for all the Lowrider Mournfang tips & tricks! I will definitely be doing that it looks waaay better! I almost did not want to grab some because of the ridiculously high saddles, now that I see what you've done with them, I will not hesitate any longer! :)

A bunch of magnets arrived today from http://www.back2base-ix.com/ so I managed to finish out the arming of my Mournfangs.

Real happy with how they turned out. Will try and get some paint on them soon.

And a few other new fellas:

I don't know if you've had a look around, but I kinda feel like I'm a bit slow to pick up the new ogres... for an example, have a look here: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=20734.0;topicseen

That is exactly how I have been planning to fix the Mournfangs, I'm glad to see that it works out so well. You shall have another Gnoblar for that confirmation.  :>)

I don't magnetize my armies; feels somehow more 'real' to me. But for the effort you go through to magnetize yours, you can get another Gnoblar. :>D

Took me ages to figure out how to do it. Pictures can be found here: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=20358.msg291798#msg291798

I went with 5mm square magnets (they're damn strong!) in the body and 3*2mm round disk magnets drilled into the back pieces themselves. The square magnets on the right hand side of the body needed to be glued onto a thin piece of plastic to make them stick out far enough, I just cut up a spare base (Thicker than a GW one though) and glued this between the magnet and monster.
