Hello!

I’ve been in and out of the Warhammer hobby for 20 years. I’ve completed several commission armies over the last few years and regularly sell off models I paint up. Find some of my old projects on Instagram at gdmanpaintandgaming.

Last week I found a Revenant Legion box at a steep discount and picked it up. Along with a necromancer that I have been hanging onto a while, the points currently add up to 1,000 spot on. I’ve decided to realize my idea for a snow themed army. I don’t currently play AoS, so I intend to sell this one off and reinvest back into a couple different armies. If I don’t get rid of them, then maybe they’ll be next year’s Armies on Parade entry. Anyways, I’m making this thread to document my progress on this 67 model envdevor.

First off the necromancer and a flock of 20 Deadwalkers. I’m going for an icy tundra look with a blue frozen skin tone. 46 more to go. I think I’ll start on the big guy next…

Thank you! I swapped out the picture, not sure how that happened.

All the feedback is appreciated!

When I saw this was "Frozen theme" I was expecting to see a Soulblight Gravelords version of Elsa.

Thank you for this. It’s unfortunate that I might have missed the opportunity to do just that! Maybe it’s not too late to throw a dope braid on the necromancer lolz

So I am starting this big guy that I can’t remember the name of. I’m choosing the basic model over the named character that you can make instead. The named character puts the points over 1,000, and I think the base model makes the army more marketable. I didn’t see an easy way to magnetize the options, otherwise I’d take that route.

For the base I am using green stuff and a cobblestone roller I got from Greenstuffworld. I clearly didn’t smooth it out well enough cause the imprint is wobbly, but I plan to cover it mostly in snow anyways so I’ll just fix it up on the backend.

Do you want to build a skull-man?

I'm not sure how well a braid would do for selling something like this, but I'm in favor of it.

Haha thanks man, and I agree. I bounced the idea off the Mrs. and she was like, “Are grown men really gonna want to play with that?” Clearly the answer is no, and yeah, I’d be taking a hit on the marketability no matter how well I greenstuffed it.

I appreciate your input!

Got the base layer on the big guy. Excited to see him take shape from here with the washes and highlights!

Next up are the blood knights and the skeleton command to mix things up between projects. 45 models to go!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Question for anyone reading this:

The current list will be,

1 - Vengorian Lord
1 - Necromancer
40 - Deadwalkers
20 - Dethrattle Skeletons
5 - Blood Knights


What would you add to take this army to 2,000 points? I am looking to include a corpse cart. I love that model.

Assembly largely done! That part has taken up much of my hobby time during the week. Hoping to knock a couple knights and skeletons out over the weekend. I also made some nifty gravesite markers.

Nice work on the army so far, dude.

That Lord is still a weird model to me, admittedly, bu you seem to have done a good job on him.

This is, emphatically, why I will continue suggesting nuking Guard and starting over again. It's a legacy army that needs to be rebooted with a new focal point.

Confirmation of why no-one should listen to Kanluwen when it comes to the IG - he doesn't want the IG, he want's Kan's New Model Army...

So I was on the edge highlights of this Blood Knight when I first realized I used the wrong armor color lol. Guess they’ll just be different! Knight is still a WIP.
