Converting up a Cities of Sigmar army using a mix of AoS kits and Warmachine and Hordes minis.

My City will be Dwarfs with Steam Golems and Druidic Skinshifting Elves

My "Hurricanum"

Yeah those Ossiarchs look ace, nice work Elmir.

Love it, and Age of Warmahordes armies are exceedingly rare!

Indeed, I definitely want to see how it turns out!

Made the first dent in my Flesh-Eater Courts army. There's actually a third Horror done to join this duo so I've officially finished one "unit" huzzah!

I'm liking the bigger models and "elite-ness" of my list, however I'm realizing that I will finish the project quite a while before my partner finishes his Deepkin. So I've been looking into side-projects to work on while he works on the mer-elves.

The Liege Kavalos is also finished! 

Finished my own Liege last night too. God, the arm to shield to wrist joint was one of the worst parts of a model I've ever had the displeasure of building, but painting it was so much fun.

Your skeletal steed bros look ace.

The paint work here continues to amaze. Well done, Thadin!

Gorgeous model with a lot of very fine paint work, my favorite part is the color choice & gradient on the sword.

Sorry to break up the Ossiarch hype, (great work on all of those btw guys) just wanted to share the bases I did up for a unit of Wych elves in my DoK force. First time attempting a small experiment in mimicking any type of liquid on the base.

I quite like the bases. The white stone is great. The blood looks old rather than fresh but not to the point of being dried, which is interesting.

Got the first three test Mortek Guard done. As the faces are painted, I'm keeping the rest of the scheme as simple as possible. Zenithal highlighting on the bone, with a thinned sepia wash and Wraithbone highlights (to bring up the zenithal highlighting more), Vallejo Gunmetal for the armor with ironbreaker highlight. Snakebite on top of that for the brass, and decided to do yellow cloth.

I'm really proud of these. For people who don't know this, I have SMA, a kind of Muscular Dystrophy. That means, in this case, I basically have one usable hand, that only really half works. With a crapton of patience though, I paint and take a lot of pride in what I can do... which is good, because BOTH my in-laws have gotten into AoS and have me painting armies for them.

I'm about 100-ish Grots into an army for one of them, with these being the most recently finished. The dwarf is a test model for my father-in-law's Fyreslayers, using a random Avatar of War dwarf I happened to have handy. :-)

Meanwhile I have three Ard' Boys boxes of my own sitting at the end of a frightfully long queue. :-p

For some reason those photos aren't showing right though if I open them in a new tab they do - Great work Neomaxim! Love the colourful gobbos and squigs !

I think attempting to link the pics differently just made it worse. :-p My wife is the tech savvy one... I have only worked in video-game design for.... twenty years. :-p

Congrats on all that progress dude! And congrats / commiserations to your painting queue on roping the in-laws in

Great work Neo! Those psychedelic gobbos really showcase the crazy new sculpts.

Thanks guys!

@BossSalvage it was surprisingly easy. When played purely for fun, AoS legit makes a fun game. Beer and pretzel hammer is legit.

I will say I kind of want to get through this mountain 'o painting so I can get back to updating my KoW armies for 3rd ed.

Doooooooo iiiiiiiiit

Speaking of Casualhammer, I'm theoretically 'working on' an Anvilgard army, because AOS carnage is indeed fun from time to time. Not a big push right now, since KOW is infinitely more a priority, but have Contrast paint, will clear some backlog

I put this picture in my P&M thread, but I managed to get a couple figures painted as good as they going to get for the Escalation League I am in. Nothing fancy, but the Sorcerer is good enough to change my profile pic to.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Chaos dwarf army.
It’s only 1k to begin with but it just happens to fall on my week off work lol.
Should get some good progress done on this.


Also loving the warnahorde dwarf idea.
May have to tinker with that myself as the skullcracker is gone from forgeworld and I need something to replace it’s model.

More than small unit, not quite enough to get the bonus rule. I currently have 40 Chaos Warriors total. I figure if I run two 20 man units I can be fancy and have two standard bearers with the Chaos mark being the real one. Otherwise, I can break my warriors into four 10 man units each with their own banner. Although, two of them will be missing horn blowers.

By the way, I don't if it completely possible, but I like to think the warrior to the right of the champion wearing the gold skull helm made it out of a Stormcast Eternal helmet. Maybe the hammer too.

Got excited by the TW2 trailer so I rebased the Deathmaster. My "Hurricanum" is coming along. Should be done in the next day or two.


Next up is 60 gobbos and 10 Fanatics, then "Archaon" (awesome bearded Deathbringer with Spear on CC Emperor Dragon, then Gotrek and Skarsnik and Irondrakes and I think I see why I never get one force completed...

Well, so long as they’re legit and not recasts, I found Varanguard at $66/box. Waiting for confirmation, but I ordered them anyway. It’s a US store. If so, I’ll have 9 Varanguard by Christmas! (I have three of them already). Almost finished painting the first last night. Getting ready for the book!!

I decided to slowly get back into AOS and since I really never cared for how FEC played (despite them being really, really good) and with Nurgle being mid-tier at best I decided it was time for something else. Looking at armies the main one that appealed to me was Deepkin so I bought a Start Collecting box and finished assembling them last night.

Painting them is going to be a challenge for me since I normally paint things in a dark, gritty style so I haven't touched them with a brush yet as I'm trying to work out colors.

So all but promised they’re recasts. Sigh. Gonna wait for them to arrive then contact GW and see what they say. I know they generally take in FW recasts and replace them, but not sure what happens when plastic models are recast in resin (I was told Varanguard shipped to me are resin, but it was a stock message).

I'm digging the colors, that's good work.

Working through my Varanguard. Here’s the first.

@timetowaste85

How are the Varangaurd kits to build? I have a box, but I want to get a lot more of my proper Slaves to Darkness stuff painted before building them (so many mold lines [shiver]).
