Gorilla Hunters

By arkangl2, in Dust Tactics

So I decided to make my gorilla hunters finally. http://twc-dust-tactics.blogspot.com/2011/08/show-off-friday_11.html

I decided to go with a more primative look to them by adding spears and swords. I kinda wanted it to be like Space Wolves in 40k in the fact that they have all this tech and yet they still go primative. So I got Rocket Spears instead of Rocket Punches lol. I also added my armorcast muzzle blast to the end of the dual Victory MGs. Made the fur pelts from using Mold Sculpy kit and making a mold from the texture of the gorillas fur. Then applied thin green stuff strip in the mold and pressed it hard into the texture.

O and no Gorillas or any other kind of animal was hurt in the making of these conversions lol. But there are some sick people in this world I was looking up reference photos to pouchers and big game hunters kinda thing. Put I then decided what if they were like one of those little hut ppl in africa. So I looked up african native hunters.

Next will be my Zombie hunters its a BBQ squad that has some extra equipment.

they look great can't wait to see the final paint scheme

Good job arky! They look like fierce primitive hunters. And the long spears... I suppose they are used to keep the gorillas at bay during a fight as gorillas excel in close combat. Primitive weapons against fists.... awesome! This is true close combat at its best happy.gif Thanks for sharing.... and thanks for not harming any gorillas in the process gran_risa.gif (You should post those pics in the paintings sub-forum too so all can find it easily in the future.)

Very nice and unique models man, can't wait to see them painted!
