just have to show ya :

a veteran, my sqad commander

and this lazy guy.

Jumper
Those are my first kroot figures and I'm still working on the rest of the pack, so there will be more, maby not with this much modifications, but I don't like playind guys which are just "standard".

Nice conversions! I like the 'jumper' VERY much. Super action packed! HA! I just took a 2nd look to the 'lazy' guy... HA! Is he SITTING, eating and shooting? Hilarious! You get an internet for making me laugh! GREAT MODELS! The pain seems very well done too! Excellent use of inks and drybrushing... flawless!

My only recommendation is to base the models. It does not has to be complicated, but it will make observers focus on your wonderful work, rather than being distracted by the plain base. Other than that...

If you have a stable group and want to play-test Kroot... check out how to do so in this thread!

Nice work! I am jealous as I am playing Kroot and I wish my guys looked like yours.

Indeed some nice looking models! I agree with you as I also can't play with standard models. I have to convert them, guess that;s one of the things that makes me such a slow armybuilder!

there's one positive thing when your mates don't have time for playing- a little free time you can spend with some lonely, unpainted models and that's the effects:
2 "special care" badguys;
El Machete [that is the inspiration: original el machete and movie with him], but i just cannot paint him a moustache...;

and sniper-like hunter;

plus the whole pack;



I also take Mordheimer (thanks very much) advise and try to base them. It's all Your fault.

You NAILED them!!!!

I always see the pictures first... get crazy ideas on my head (always jumping to conclusions ) then read the text. I saw the models and thought "Wow... how the hell he did the bases? Those plants are kindda cool!"... then I saw (and read) El Machete and started laughing, imagining a Kroot with a bunch of knives like Danny Trejo.... who played Navajas (Knives) in the movie Desperado.

Then I start reading and I was super surprised about your inspiration (El Machete!) and that you based the models to see how they came out! YEAH BABY!!! 100% win! At first glance all your models are PERFECT... to he point I don't wanna look at the pictures anymore, so I don't ruin its perfection (at least on my twisted mind!)

THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Your models are awesome!

For those too young to remember... and to think that was considered riské.

you could laugh, but in making my bases most tiring part was cutting plastic plants from my brother's aqarium. The black&white sand or whetever it is was taken from the water filter... i have it enough for few armies I just simply paint the base with polystyrene glue, throw it to box with... this powder. Haos rulez. after that I just glued the plastic chunks and volia!
the only touch o paint on the bases are their nicknames.
uchhhh... now the hardest part; fluff

Those guys look awesome! Whenever you put your group together... let us know, if you want to play-test the Kroot!

Nice work!

ok, i know i will burn in hell for this...




el machete hates me now...


argh! don't have time for painting... there lies the whole sqad of fire warriors, 2 kroot hound, krootox and small pack of SM scouts... and grows in dust...

I was going to ask you, Where did you get your scope for the sniper? That scope fit's kroot very well.

thats just that middle part of original kroot rifle with leather straps wrapped around , cutted off and little drilling from the front and rear... done.

Love it! Spot on with the 'tache!

You've gotta find time for the paintwork - who needs sleep?

Cheers Laney

Nice idea! I might have to do that also.

Wow! Very impressed with your work!
