@ Zontarz

Thank you! I’m loving yours!

They do take a long time to paint though. I’m currently on 24 out of 40, with 9 still to be assembled. And that’s without basing...or the special weapons and other little details done either.

@ CragHack

Nice! And spooky too.

Back again!

My main objective was to get my new additions up and running. Or at least to the same stages as the rest of the army.

Looking good! But what really caught my eye was that teal/jade effect on the bases.

Thanks Ninth. I've used the same tutorial as the the Azyrite Ruins. Very simple, very easy, yet very effective! Wouldn't be hard to turn it into marble with a few veins, and Ardcoat either.

@CragHack Wow that Gloomtide looks the nutz! Great tones, and oxidisation where necessary!

@Future War Cultist /Zontarz What are you plans for basing on these fellas? Cork, and floating? Clouds? Or good old dirt/decking?

That is phenomenal! Do you mind sharing the colours you used to airbrush?

Oh that is the million dollar question. Honestly, I have no idea!

Snow was one idea I was floating around. Another idea was grey slate (that seems to be the main landscape of Chamon). But at this stage I’m pretty much open to any idea.

Celestra Grey->Ulthuan Grey->White Scar
Waywatcher Green glaze->Biel-Tan Green->Coelia Greenshade
1:1:2 Scale 75 Inktensity Purple/Chesnut inks/water into deepest corners.

Thanks for sharing the details!

Speaking of ships, I started painting mine:



This thing is going to take a long time.

Too true too true!

I would like to be able to tie in my bases to my roomate who is picking up Idoneth, I've got first dibs on all the extra fish and would like to put them to use

Thanks for sharing mate! My Gloomtide is in the mail so I'll post up my results next week

Here is a Legion of Sacrament army I started. 4 heroes, 2 mine and 2 from the guy I bought most of the models from (I tried to mimic the paint scheme).
1 necromancer is mine, the one on the round base and the wight king with the full cape is also mine while the rest of heroes were bought along with the (largely) unpainted spear wielding skeletons and fully painted swordsmen.
I am slowly repainting and converting some tomb kings skeltons into the common skeletons to bolster my ranks.
While the skeleton warriors make uo the bulk and the frontline, the dire wolves are the flank protectors and the units which are most likely to be ressumoned later in the game.
The Crypt Horrors serve as a body guard for my mages and a wight king if he is lucky and can afford it at that time in the battle.

In the future I want to get the Skeleton Horde box to get Arkhan the Black, he is my favourite Warhammer Fantasy Character and a great leader especially with his command ability and the absurdly funny curse of years especially if you manage to make it go off on the opponent's Glottkin (I have never done so, but I'd love to!). The Black knights will help me create the deathmarch battalion and I will need just the Grave Guard and I am set. Plus the 10 skeletons are always nice!

Latest painting situation with only two weeks to go until the AoS GT Heat 3!

















Thoughts, critic, or any tips to make them better? Stardrake's wings are very much a WIP still!

It's a Brettonia Stormcast hybrid, not bad, not bad at all! Amazing and at the same time simplistic conversions!

Looking very good! Im liking the sharp colors on the armor and the basing. Maybe work on the weapon heads if possible because they still look a bit 'airbrush and done' maybe some point highlights on the various corners?

Hey, just completed my age of sigmar fortress project

Thanks @ Spreelock! Couldn't let them waste away, so a new little fluff and away I go. A new Stormhost!

Thanks @ NinthMusketeer In a way I'm taking that as a great tip and a compliment, as I have actually dry-brushed the weapons, so the fact they look remotely airbrushed I'm kinda happy with! My first consideration is to dirty them up with blood and mud?

Will continue looking out for more edge highlights, still a ways to go to finalise them all!

Haha, I just started one too! Although mine will be a lot less... solid. It's a skaven fortress after all.

Finally started my slaanesh "Host of Radiant Bliss" test models as I got all the paints I needed. I haven't painted anything but nurgle for a while now so it's been fun so far. I don't think i've used as many paints on any 1 model before though.

Working on a Model I have had around since the End Times, I figured I should finally finish him.

More pictures of my ever expanding army:

Great job there guys. Beautiful minis.

Amazing undead, so smooth

Yea dude, your painting is so clean and smooth, always a pleasure to see more of it. Particularly on the flesh eaters - love the purple limbs and that you've carried it across the faction (T-geist included). Props as well on the custom varghulf!

- Salvage

Sick with a wonderful summer cold(piss off summer colds!) so got some hobby work done. Finished putting my Ishlaen Guard onto their custom bases.

I really like the converted Dragon Princes. Will they be used a Blood Knights?
Also the Skaven to necromancer (?) conversion is awesome!

Those are my blood knights yes. And the old skaven plague priest is the model I use for my FEC crypt ghast courtier.

Meanwhile, I've finished off 5 more hexwraiths to add to the collection (in anticipation of our new battletome)

ive never seen anyone make their horses fly elmir, that's a great idea and great paint as always.
I love your work.

Wow, top work on those Undead, Elmir!

It's quiet in here though! Anyone painting up some of the new edition stuff yet?

Here's a Liberator I painted to get back into the swing of things before having a go with some Sequitors soon, I think the new look is a big improvement.

No new edition models for me, but I did finish up a drycha last night

I'm building a Nighthaunt Army and I love the new design of the ethereal steeds, which is why I find the Hexwraith kit to be problematic in terms of being a skeletal horse with a sheet on it.

I'm thinking of converting some by using Grimghast Reapers on top of Dreadblade Harrows. Pardon the mock-up quality below:

So the new Nighthaunt kits are amazing. They really are. But errr...how do we feel about the names? Am I the only one who thinks GW goes a bit...clunky, with their choice of names?

It's pretty much a tradition at this point.
