#I fuckin' love making scifi gnolls

[corvidous]

Finally done with these fuckers:

Hyaenim Heavy Gunners! I love me some Space Gnolls! Partially they're a test of my "Palace Guard" color scheme that I'm going to be using on my Tempestus Scions, but also the Scions kit has so many special weapons. Of course you want to build them all! Which leaves all these cool hotshot lasguns...just sitting there...so why not stick them on some Frostgrave Gnolls?! These guys will make a great Heavy Infantry squad for Xenos Rampant and I will quite possibly be using them AS Scions in 40k, just to bulk up my squads with lasgunners.

This guy in particular I've entered in an LGS kitbash challenge competition, so I converted him up with a standard Guard torso, just to up-armor him a bit and make the kitbash, in my view, more "legit" (not that it wasn't legit, all kitbashes are legit, even the guy who just put an Anakin Skywalker head onto a SW Legion ARC trooper model, no matter how much I feel like that's fuckin' pushing it, I just like my conversions to be a bit more in depth). I had to cut the torso off the gnoll body, cut the gnoll neck off the torso, glue the Guard torso onto the gnoll lower half, cut the high collar off the guard torso and then greenstuff a connection for the neck to attach the gnoll gneck, and THEN arrange the arms and weapon, including cutting a section of the power cord to make them actually connect up. (It was such a pain in the ass that I just cut the cords off of all the others because fuck even I have limits.)

These guys were an absolute SLOG to paint for some reason. I don't know what it was, maybe I just wasn't in the mood but I just did NOT want to paint these guys, really had to force myself through it. But it's done and it's fine and they're going in the display cabinet with the rest!
