Four Weak Armies Fight One Powerful Army

#warhammer #battle #diorama
I was recently at my local hobby store and bought a few boxes of miniatures to add to future dioramas. Because I am impatient, I decided that I should open all the boxes and throw everything together in a ridiculous crossover project. I had a lot of fun with this one.

It would be really cool to see something like this in your Wild West series, and it could really give you a chance to go farther into the lore and history of the world.

For example: Outlaws riding on spiders/scorpions Indigenous peoples using dire wolves and/or those giant bipedal moose Or some unknown group using Thunderbirds/dino-terror birds as an air force...🤔

[@Chodor101]

Funniest thing about it is that in 40k setting this could not only really happen but wouldn't even be weird. Human forces of Imperial guard from 2 different regimens made a quick alliance with dark Eldar (probably offered souls and flesh of half survivors to them) and Tau in new suits that now also protect legs efficiently - all of this in order to defeat renegade chapter of Space marines.

[@thadz2493]

Really fun idea, excellently executed. It occurs to me that it would be fun to see something like this, except with a smaller number of fighters who are trying to sneak up on each other in a dense jungle. This battle in open terrain looks really intense, but dense foliage and low visibility would instead be tense. Why not throw in a couple of alien, tentacled jungle monsters/plants for good measure?

[@Micah_A_]

Have you ever considered using spray drywall texture in a can for some of your texturing on top of your terrain paste? You can get it at your local home improvement store and the larger cans have variable spray patterns for different sizes of texture. You could do very fine for a sand texture, larger for river rocks/dried river beds, etc. Just a thought. Great work!
