GMM Studios is back with another fantastic work of miniature art that combined AoS Dwarves with a Chaos Tzeentch theme combined in one force!
Hello out there! I am back again from deep beneath the earth, bringing back some colorful balls of tainted stubbornness. This time it is Age of Sigmar Dwarves with a Tzeentch flavor.
GMM Army Showcase: The Lost Grand Fyrd of the Kromidrakk Lodge
This army has some very personal and unique backstory the client has been working on for years, so let’s kick it off with a small summary of that:The Kromidrakk Lodge dwells beneath the “Glass Sea” in the city of Fanokbulla on Chamon, the Realm of Metal. This lodge went to the Realm of Metal in search of ur-gold under the deep depths of the Glass Sea under false pretense. They have been hired by an agent of Tzeentch for thousands of years, The Changeling.
It is with Tzeentch’s blessings that the Kromidrakk Lodge has been slightly mutated to have gills by the Changer of Ways. The Kromidrakk Lodge has no knowledge of the true identity of The Changeling. Crestis’Chk, the Lord of Change, personally oversees this endeavor. It is he who mutates the Magmadroths into Vortex Beasts. It is he who further mutates the Lodge from within. They continue to serve Tzeentch unknowingly, all the while, believing in their cause.
Tzeentch-tainted Dwarves. A very unique army that is also very colorful. This was right up my alley and a lot of fun to work on. Quite a lot to dig into and flex the color theory and composition muscles. Going from a broad idea for an army with a very fleshed-out backstory to an overall whole, bringing the two together and making something that works both in visual completion and with the story the client had created.
For a great project with a lot of feeling behind it, being well written, and fleshed out with a personal backstory is half of the battle. The other is the paint that tells the story visually. Combine the two and you get a very sentimental and special thing that you can point out across the table and know what went into it.
I put a lot of work into my projects and what most people see at first glance is that effort. But there is also some serious credit due to the clients that have put so much time into the theme and backstory of their armies. When I start a project, I get to work on top of the foundation of all those things. Thank you very much to a certain special someone for this one! It was all my pleasure.
Whew, that’s an incredible collection. There are even more stunning pictures of the army over on GMM Studio’s website! Be sure to check the other shots out as well as some of his previous work.
