That is a WONDERFULLY inspiring idea, AND VERY WELL crafted & painted. I am most definitely going to give it a try.

Plastic toy castles such as this are a real treasure! If you want to do a full Monty on it, a little model paste will help, tremendously, to hide the seams. I've got two different ones I need to finish: one is similar in design, though much smaller, in hard plastic. The other is a vacuum-formed castle, which has been in storage for 15+ years. I really need to pull it out, and finish it -- it needed the least amount of work to bring it up to gaming speed.
I've since gone over to modular paper castles. I am printing them out on full-sheet labels, which allow me to peel-n-stick them to cardboard tubes; I also attach them to 2mm cardboard, for a more durable model with enough heft to avoid being blown around by any slight wind. They're still a lot of work to build, but they look quite good on the table.
Keep us posted on how these develop! Would love to see what you do with them... Cheers!

I think I finally got the appeal of Chaos. It's very easy to recycle things. You can pick random parts from your bit box and make a mutant in no time. And even works with toys. Nurgle is the best, mostly because is the most monstruos army you can make. So if it looks like s**t is a plus. Here a small band of horrors that can be used as a proxy Blood Bowl team if you really need one. More at toy-hammer.blogspot.com/2018/06/nurgle-proxies.html

Hello guys, I'm still working on the paintjob of the big monster for my Nurgle Proxies, but I wanted to take a break from all that purple, so I finished an old project. A stormcaster conversion. As many of you know, I don't like Age of Sigmar. It's too dark and serious. I liked a lot more the old warhammer, when the models and the world were sillier and funnier. And I hate the grimdark tone of the 40k, in particular the space marines. I'm not the first one to jump on this train, but i think the Stormcasters are one of the ugliest things ever made by GW, only because that doll-like head. And space marine proportions. Still, I got 3 of them for free, so let's see what I can do. At the moment I converted only 2, one with a simple chaos warrior head swap, the other one with various Bretonnia bits. I have no idea about the last one, maybe an undead knight, or I simply paint him as a statue. More at toy-hammer.blogspot.com/2018/06/stormcaster-conversions.html

Good job!
I have 7 of these guys... they look cool, but very bland as a whole.
This is inspirational, I finally have a use for all my old Brettonian heads!

No miniatures or terrain today, but some pictures. Don't worry, still made by me. The hook horror is a classic D&D monster from the Underdark. It's an ogre-sizes bird-cockroach beast with hook for arms. It's pretty cool looking, but in the end it's nothing special, there are lot of better monsters to fight. Still, I think it's a well design monster with a lot of potential, it's a shame it only lives underground. I mostly play d&d 3.5 and Pathfinder, but here some flavour and some suggestions if you want to give some real stats to these guys. The first design is the classic hook horror, but I think it can also works for: Ice hook: this hook horror specie lives on top of mountains and glaciers. It's bigger then the usual hook horrors and adapted to live in cold enviroments. Unlike the most common Underdark species, this variant does not feel any pain from sunlight. The chitin of and Ice Hook is strong as steel and, unlike the other species, it is exclusively carnivorous. Variation to the stats. As standard Hook Horror but: - no light sensitivity - cold subtype - bonus to hide in cold enviroments instead of underdark areas Wood hook: also known as needle horror, this specie is a little smaller then a man, but its vicious claws can strike enemies from distance with amazing speed. The needle horror lives in dense forests and rarely touches the ground. It's the most pacific of the known species, but it is very territorial. It is extremely adapted to the enviroment, possessing unique traits from the other species; it lacks a strong beak, but it posses a long prensile tongue, the vestigial arms on the sides actually are used to scrape wood in search for insects and fruits. The long feather-like fibers help the creature camoufage in the foliage and they actually change colors during seasons. Variation to the stats. As standard Hook Horror but: - no light sensitivity - no blindsight - low-light vision - medium size (and related changes to the stats: +2 dex, -4 for, +1 CA) - talents more suited to hit a lot and disarm instead of breaking stuff - no bite attack - a tongue attack - reach - bonus to hide in forest enviroments instead of underdark areas - they speak Sylvan (or at least understand it) instead of Undercommon Sea hook: also know as fish hooks, crab horror and boat ripper, this specie lacks the climbing abilities of its cousins in exchange for powerful webbed feet and the ability to hold breath for almost two hours. It's the bigger variant of hook horror and it is built to only a purpouse: crush. Shells, bones, boats: nothing can resist its pincher or the powerful beak. Still, its diet is almost all made of mollusks. Variation to the stats. As standard Hook Horror but: - no climbing speed - swimming speed - amphibious subtype - they speak Aquan (or at least understand it) instead of Undercommon What do you think, do you want to see some more stuff like this in the future? I should color them? Let me know.
