Mongoose, I think you do a tabletop standard really well, and blimey if you're not prolific . That dreadhold in particular is absolutely ace!

Bottle - Definitely 32mm, imo!

Crikey, let me just pick my jaw up from the floor!

These Skellies are just so nice. Thanks for sharing these mate.

What paints are you using for your yellows?

Thanks man. Appreciate it. The yellow is just averland sunset, washed twice with agrax earthshade, repainted with averland sunset again and highlighted another time with a diluted 60/40 averland sunset to white. I really didn't want anything too difficult going on there, so the whole model has two layers of agrax earthshade to speed up painting.

EDIT: I forgot to say @Mongoose - Those beastmen are look really good and thematic. Reminds me of my childhood the way I always wanted my own to look back then!

I just realized that I should upload my work - so far I've only had time to make up the Blood Bound from the starter set,

Here's my lads. They're nothing overly special, but I've way out of practice, so Age of Sigmar has been an opportunity to relearn how to focus on an army and get it painted up:

I like the beastmen, Mongoose! I think they might be the first ones I've seen in AOS basing style.

Painted up Belagor and a Slayer.

They look awesome! I would push the highlights on the slayer red hair and beard though, but that's preference.

Agreed, very nice although I was going to say the same about the red on the slayer. However, an easier way to increase the contrast might just be to apply a wash to darken the crevices a bit, then re-highlight the raised areas to a similar shade you have now (or maybe just a "hair" brighter ).

Thanks

Your right about the hair but I don't know what colour to to use to highlight some more. I used base mephiston red,agrax shade,mephiston highlight,slayer orange highlight.

Great painting in here. Can't wait to get done work and then my weekend project will be digging into Bloab Rotspawned. Bigger box than I imagined it would be. I'm going Bloab because I like the magic ability and shooting attack. Still got a bunch of Plague Monks on the way. They're surprisingly killy.

Almost done with the cairne wraith. Just need to finish the base, and I'm on to painting black knights.

Sweet Wraith

I'm starting my 2nd AoS army orcs and goblins mainly due to me getting bored of my elves. Can't wait to get a game in with them

Finished up my first Savage Orc for my new Savage Waaagh! He was loads of fun to paint. I plan on adding some yellow static grass to the base once it arrives in the mail.

Thats an ace looking Orc

Really nice work on the Orc skin there!

Just in time for our campaignn games, I managed to do Vermalanx...



And Celemnis, Queen of Blades:

And the start of a Seraphon horde!

Hi, I want to share with you my Stormcast Eternals, the Gods of War.

This is my converted Lord Celestant on Gryphoth and some of my Liberators. The first one is an example of the basic Liberator, with the converted Centurion crests; the second is my version of a helmet-less Stormcast and the third is my version of a female Stormcast. Subtly different but still feminine.

That Griffon is just awesome, DanielFM! I really like you other conversions as well, that's the kind of inspiring stuff you'll never get enough!

I thought a giant centerpiece would be just what I needed to kick off a new AoS army, so I shipped my Greater Chaos Dragon to myself in NOLA while visiting my sister in Arizona. (she was holding it for me.)



Instead I got a 3-D puzzle for Christmas! gonna need a bigger glue bottle.

silver lining, it will be easy to rebase onto a round base!

Nice looking star cloak thing on the big guy, DanielFM

Yikes on the breakage, but good silver lining.

That zebra dracoth is awesome! It actually makes me like the model. That's the only model from the starter set that I'm not even bothering to paint...something about it I'm just not a fan of. But with that paint job it looks great.

Also really like those Seraphon and that Savage Orc. Makes me really tempted to make my next purchase some orcs. I've been hobbying so much more with AoS, it's off the chain. There are so many cool, thematic army possibilities.

I'm still finishing up the Stormcast from the starter set while assembling some reinforcements for my Nurgle army. This is the first Blightking box I've bought and I see why they're a hit. All the customization options are a joy, as are the models themselves. It's the first time I can remember I chose to forgo a standard bearer or musician because I liked the normal weapon poses so much better. If I like painting them too, I could definitely see another box in my future.

The Blightkings are great - though I think the big bell guy is really iconic and just had to go with him!

Wait until you actually try them in a game though - so far I have only had them used against me (my own models too!), and they are nasty!

Just starting to paint up Archaon.

Jeezum crow. He is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. He barely fit in my damn spray booth!

My current project,which seems popular at the moment



Plaguebearers will go on 32mm bases when painted.

Going to start working on the Stormcast from the boxed set tonight and this weekend...finally got them all built and primed. The models are awesome, pretty excited to see them all painted up...gonna look great. Sticking with the basic gold scheme to start, I've picked up a few more liberators off eBay to test some other paint schemes on as well.

I think I'm getting better at the photo side of the hobby.

So here are my maggot riders completed. Converted from maggoth lord kit, putrid blightking bits, chaos knight bits, warriors of chaos bits and starship trooper burrower bugs.

They will make impressive leutenuits

Those are amazing!

Whoa, good call! That maggoth kit really does come with a lot of extra pieces.

That's awesome, Versatilebeats! And welcome to Dakka

If you ever need more of the Burrower Bugs, they're sold by Rebel Minis now as generic "Sand Wurms". They're actually better than the original cast, which was all metal with a large seam down the back - these have a resin body that is single piece (no seam), and then a metal head / tail:
