Hmm, I have a herald and about 5 unpainted dryads left for this army so far. Then there's also the Malifaux stuff I sort of half repainted.

Well back and thanks Vik.
No meaning to it really, just a left over icon on a stick in some rock.

I think I can safely say I've gotten the hang of taking these larger pictures. Been posting the full sized ones lately and letting the forum itself resize them rather than the gallery.

Down to four more of these now.

Also signed up a while ago to this global campaign here. Which meant I needed to get a few things sorted for it, mostly just finally naming the army and as that Masque could lead it in some games it needed a name as well. So after brainstorming it a bit over steam finally settled on a few things; sirens and I wanted the word host or horde in there somewhere.

Bit more screwing around the the name became The Sirenic Warhost.
Managed to get those things into it, plus warhost is generally used for Eldar forces more. As a Slaanesh Daemon army it sort of subtly mocks them.

Usually led by Iluni, the elegant huntress.


And (after finding a name generator ) sometimes led by Lukuh, Siren of Slaanesh. For lower point games where I wouldn't want a KoS running about.

Just a work in progress shot of a Horror today. Just before the glazing starts and starts to bring it all together.

They seem to be getting progressively creepy as well.


Also a sort of teaser for a future project.

Some of the arms in the kit are cool like that, but just looking at them I figured most would break off in the case.

Seem to be going slower. I kind of blame finally getting Skyrim slightly.

But, in general I guess I'm just not as in as much of a painting mood as the other times. Another WIP shot just after I finished adding the pink.


I've also had Kirai soaking for I think a couple of days now.
So might be some more Malifaux coming I guess.

looking good there... and you can´t win on all subjects... when you start to game seriously... your bound to kill painting time

Or villagers, bandits, dragons.

Almost done with it now. Also notice the leaves?


Up until now all my purple and pink have been simply the two on the left. With a bit of white to mix in or a Leviathan Purple wash.

But, today I got the three on the right. Wanted a darker pink for another side project I've been meaning to kick off for a while but never got around to yet. For the leaves I messed around with these new colours. Well except Screamer Pink, I haven't used that yet. But, for the leaves I started with Pink Horror then sort of highlighted with Emperor's Children then I think I washed it with LP before highlighting with Squid Pink. At first I got the three because I couldn't remember the one I was after out of PH and EC, then got SP because it looked interesting. When I put EC next to the Squid Pink I was a little disappointed because I figured they were the same colour which would mean that I'd probably never end up using the EC. However luckily EC is a sort of darker version of Squid Pink; useful as it's easier to mix a lighter pink than a darker one.

now that you mention it the leaves look very good... they would probably have escaped me on the genrally good painted mini...they are a nice twist for that kind of mini tho^^

and it is kinda funny that the paints got a picture almost the double of the size of the mini^^

Yeh, the paints were easier to take a picture of for some reason. Can zoom in on the images so much in the gallery.

will this one have dark eyes when done? somehow i think it should have more menacing eyes...

d´oh...:facepalm... ok...hmmm.... those swirls on the shoulders and the head by the way would have been nice with some glowy effect too... not to make you too much uncomfortable with your work

Gives me something to use as a base for later.

One thing that has got my interest lately with the Horrors is their upgrade character the Changeling. Its ability fits in remarkably well with Slaanesh daemons when you read it. Pretty much if an enemy within 24" shoots at it you can make them take a leadership test; they pass and nothing happens, but if they fail I can make that unit shoot at their friends as long as I can see them with the Changeling's unit. If I get to adding that in, I suppose I'll have to do glowing swirls and such. Has to be fancy.

Easy way is to just get this and paint it up like them.


But, still finding out if it's worth using, it's only something like a 5 point upgrade though.

well... if the points are not that steep a cost and the mini looks like this... where is the doubt? go for it... and i agree that Changeling idea fits the army theme very well...a treacherous lil unit

   
Made in au
Lady of the Lake






Somewhat wish I could buy the ability for some other units; even at something like 15-20ish points. It doesn't look like it'll work often, but when it works it sounds like a lot of fun.

   
Made in de

yep... it would be a really tricky model... like a trojan horse


and yes... buying abilities... it is bound to happen sooner or later...
