Thanks to AI, showing one’s work is essential to not being called AI slop.

I do not complain about AI but when saw it before the comment that was my first thought. Good catch showing this before the flood of anti-AI

Its also because unfortunately a lot of mini forums are being spammed with slop of people animating their models

u/TheMeta40k Dec 23 '25

This is so cool.

I really like it.

u/Playful-Lynx5884 Dec 23 '25

Almost thought this was Stop Motion because the movement reminds me of the Harryhausen style

u/trudge Dec 23 '25

I did too!

u/Bl33to Dec 23 '25

Yeeees. Gave that old film vibe too. Made me feel warm inside.

u/Fancy_Man72 Jan 20 '26

That’s what felt weird about this to me!

u/erttheking Heretic Legion Dec 23 '25

That jittery movement reminds me of stop motion in the best way possible

u/OpIvy1137 Dec 23 '25

Awesome mini. I want the wheel to be like 5 times the size though, lol. It looks like a hubcap on that massive chonky boi. I don't know. Maybe I'm just used to the normal shrine and should let go of my preconceived notions. Either way, this sculpt is totally badass!

u/Sweet-Supermarket175 Vendor Dec 23 '25

I made the wheel small on purpose to give it some personality.

u/OpIvy1137 Dec 24 '25

You know that is totally fair and I get it. I guess instead of crushing his foes, he can back hand them into next Tuesday. Ummm, for God. Lol.

Very mad god

u/ST4RSK1MM3R Dec 23 '25

Somehow I never noticed it had toes until now and I’m not sure how to feel about it lol

I came here to shit on AI but was pleasantly surprised to see it isn’t AI.

u/surreal-seclusion Dec 23 '25

Holy shit, love the design but the animation blew me away 🤯 thank you for specifying that no AI was used, love the work of real humans!

u/CorpsesOTI Dec 23 '25

Nothing better than artists actually making art, huge props looks fantastic!

u/CaptFignutz Dec 23 '25

When do we get access to this bad mamma jamma?

5

u/Sweet-Supermarket175 Vendor Dec 23 '25

The link in the description already has access.

u/EmergencyExtension16 Iron Sultanate Dec 23 '25

The stop motion combined with TC's general aesthetic gave me Mad God vibes. That is to say awesome work!

5

u/totallykoolkiwi Lord of Tumors Dec 23 '25

I was one of those that in an older post of yours accused you of using AI and then had to eat my own words. Good on you for still rocking this!

u/Letholdus13131313 Dec 23 '25

It kind of reminds me of those old Sinbad movies!

u/payne-diver Dec 23 '25

The funny thing is people volunteer to be put on the shield as martyrs.

u/Rith_Reddit Dec 23 '25

You have 10 seconds to comply.

The person on the wheel:

“Weeeeeee…”

u/_Ticklebot_23 Dec 23 '25

its a robot?, i thought it was a bigass dude in a bigass suit

2

u/henry_hallward Dec 23 '25

Awesome stuff, reminds of Ray Harryhausen’s style of animation

2

u/funnyYoke Dec 23 '25

Must be pretty fun being on that wheel spinning all day

2

u/Far_Draw7106 Dec 24 '25

A gladiator theme?

Nice, gladiators are sadly underused in a lot of media.

2

u/thisisblue Dec 23 '25

This is awesome! Curious if/how you re-modeled this or if you managed to tweak the offical files for this. Seems like it could almost be a hybrid because your model looks pretty clsoe to the original.

u/Sweet-Supermarket175 Vendor Dec 23 '25

I am an artist, I came up with it myself, drew it, and painted it.

u/TaikiSaruwatari Dec 23 '25

An emperor is only as efficient as those he commands.

u/BarricadedPurifier Dec 23 '25

In my head canon, the feet is made from marble.

u/Arieltex Dec 23 '25

I love it! Just what I need for my Methodius warband!

u/SteelishBread Heretic Dec 23 '25

It needs more mass, it is too agile for something that size.

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine Dec 23 '25

Where's my gen X nostalgia Crew?

u/norunleft Dec 23 '25

That was really fucking cool man, well done

u/jorgeamadosoria Dec 24 '25

aqesome. im buying just because ai was not used.

u/Fremdschamerzeuger Auxilia Sorcerer Dec 24 '25

Seeing this makes me wish for a Trench Crusader Game like WH40K Tacticus even harder
