Had myself a little trip to Warhammer World with some friends yesterday. Sooo much hobby awesomeness in there. Stunning dioramas. Unfortunately, it's a bit Gandalf says in LOTR.
I would use this ring(wallet) from a desire to do good... But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.
I ended up spending money new stuff, despite the no-buy oath I swore. It's not 2017 yet though, so I think I'm OK  .
Got myself a Lord-Celestant on foot, and a Kytan Daemon Engine for my brother's Black Legion. I also bought a set of those new shiny Artificer Tints, so I look forward to tinkering with them. Oh and some bottles of the green Sons of Horus airbrush paints.
My mate, on the other hand, bought himself the awesome Tau'nar Supremacy suit with the giant triple rail cannon things and triple ion blaster thingies. The last gasp before he becomes a father I guess lol.

Hello, all! Ending 2016 on a high note- up to my eyeballs in 'orrid cold/fluey goop. The past few days have been pretty good, though. I've been soldiering on (hur-hur!)and trying my best to get some models done. The Knights of the Aurora chamber are renowned for fast strikes followed by brutal force, so I'll be picking up another set of Prosecutors (flying guys) to advance ahead of my main force with the Knight-Venator (flying shooty guy) on anti-Monster patrol. This month I will try and get my Stormcasts completed so I can have the excuse to build my next unit- Decimators. I realise I may have mentioned these a few pages back, though I confess I've been a bit of a hobby butterfly this past year, not really focusing on one particular project. In 2017 I hope to change that. Forgive the terrible army shot: You may have noticed a new addition, a mighty Lord Celestant wielding a rune blade and hammer. Gave him a little upgrade and stuck him on one of the shiny new hero bases. Oh and finally, I hope you all had a restful Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year and let's hope 2017 isn't as much of a gak show as 2016 was.

Cheers folks. Struggling a bit this month as I'm out of the nerd den for a while due to having no hot water :(.
In the meantime, I'll (at least, trying to) take a crack at the Burning of Prospero board game this weekend. My brother and I managed to get enough models assembled to play a few scenarios. I'll be using Drenn Redblade and Jensus Natorian from DW Overkill to represent Fell-Hand and Ahriman respectively for now as they're in the grey pile of shame. The Tartaros terminators will be represented by my Cataphractii as my brother hasn't built them yet.
Got a serious itch to scratch, though, painting wise. Ugh.

"...Let those who worship evil's might. Beware my power!" Still not got any hobbying done since I still don't have any hot water at my place, and I've been dealing with general life bullgak. Supply drop! The Lord Veritant arrives from Azyr to judge those who dabble in Chaos sorcery, with his trusty gryph-hound. Wielding his Lantern of Abjuration and Judgement Blade. I've also been reading a bit about them in the latest AoS novel, City of Secrets by Nick Horth. Granted, the Knights Excelsior chamber are a pretty zealous (serious levels of douche) bunch, the Lord Veritant comes across as a particularly intimidating chap. The Lantern of Abjuration also seems to have some Lasso of Truth type power. The lantern shines on the suspect and pulls any secrets from their mind. Pretty decent rules on this fellow: Can unbind 1 spell (as a wizard would do) in each enemy hero phase, and also has an ability called Sanction. This allows them to fry an enemy wizard within 7" on a 4+, inflicting D3 mortal wounds. The Gryph-hounds that come with the Stormcast Eternal models are pretty monstrous(40mm base) compared to the ones you get with the War Priest in Silver Tower(32mm base). I can have a Gryph-hound accompanying him into combat which allows it to have 4 attacks instead of 2, and adds 3 to the spell unbinding roll if the pooch is within 6". Here's what he'll look like when assembled: On a 30/ 40K related note,I got a big stompy Deredeo dreadnought in the mail, with some huge lascannons and aiolos missile launcher  . Oh, and some MkIII Dark Angel pauldrons for my Legion guys

*blows dust off* Hello all *cough*. Been a while since I updated this!
There's a fair bit in the way of updates to come here, including some game reports from Betrayal at Calth and Burning of Prospero. Spoiler alert: Custodes are rock hard in Prospero lol. I have so far, only managed to kill 1.
I will also (hopefully) be having a go at WHQ: Shadows Over Hammerhal later today, so that should be interesting! I didn't get a lot done, painting wise in January, and most of this month. That should change now I have myself a project box ( GW's- it's actually pretty good) and new lamp/lightbox to do stuff with.
Anyways, on to the hobby stuff
First up is my Tzeentch Magister- I think I posted that up a while back. I love this model- he's a freaky little guy. He's not far off from being done, I've just got to sort his flesh, base and staff out. I dug out the Kairic adept Paint Splatter article on the Warhammer Community site for the subtle magic effect on the weapon.
Pics:
Sword
Tzeentch Magister
I've settled on this paint scheme for my Tzeentch Arcanites force. It doesn't look too hard to achieve and it should look pretty nice!
Next up, is the Lord Veritant and Lord Castellant of my Stormcast Eternals force. I've only started painting the Veritant so far, but I think the Castellant should look pretty nice when done . I have a growing pack of gryph hounds for this lot now too. When (if) I've finished my Stormcast backlog, I think I'll pick the pack of 6 up that's just come out.
Some pretty fantastic sculpts in the Stormcast range lately.
Lord Veritant and Lord Castellant
Lord Veritant WIP
New desk lamp
Pretty good for taking pics too
So that's it for now, I'll be back later for some 30K and WHQ awesome .
Thanks for reading

Cheers, Mym! I had a little break from the Lord Veritant and had a go at painting the Cogsmith from the Shadows over Hammerhal box. Nice little mini, but I'm now not sure where to go with the beard. Whilst on Januine's Twitch stream, someone suggested to give him a red beard. Do we think that's too bright? I had thought of grey but that will probably get lost in amongst all the silver. Also made a start on the Steloc Aethon mini from the Betrayal at Calth box, now that he's been blooded in a game. Looks pretty nice in Dark Angels legion colours . Plus I've been adding some terrain for my 40k/30k games As well as building a set of gryph-hounds for my Stormcasts (there's actually 9 in this unit- 3 of which didn't make it into this photo.) That's it for now, thanks for viewing :-)

He's coming up very nicely, as is the Steloc Aethon. You could always give the Cogsmith a reddish-brown beard. It'd add a bit of colour without going over the top.

I went for blonde in the end, since I don't have all of my paints with me. Just the project box worth of stuff. I've also gone and bought the Deathworld Forest kit... It's a rather big kit...

Just a very quick update on the Lord Veritant. Nearly done. Just some layers left to do on the cloak, staff and belt plus the base.
Gave the runes on the sword a few licks of the paintbrush, using Sybarite Green, Coelia Greenshade and Nihilakh Oxide. Looks pretty sweet eh?

Cheers, Azazel . I'm pretty happy with it! Yes mate. They will be Dreadwing supposedly, which makes sense given their use of the really nasty gak. Interestingly, the Dreadwing use a skull hourglass as their emblem. So it looks like they were the genesis of the Star Phantoms chapter in 40K. Seems odd, though, that the Star Phantoms don't appear to have the nasty toys from M31 anymore(even if they are down to 400 marines). Dark Angels came out of the Heresy better off than most of the Legions, gear-wise.

Took a little break from the Lord Veritant and opted for a little change 
Primed up 5 acolytes and an Adept. Which then morphed into painting the Adept. Really fun model to paint despite my earlier doubts about painting all the flesh. Blocked out all the colours then went over the gold and the flesh with reikland fleshshade. Also prepped the eye jewels for the gemstone paint. Though I may change my mind with one or two to have them be actual eyes.
Also caved and bought the freaky deathworld forest kit... it's a rather big kit... going to be using it for both AoS and 40k.

Hello again all! Got some building done last night .
A full unit of Kairic Acolytes assembled and a few primed up for painting. As well as some Blightkings (and a head swapped Plague Lord), courtesy of my brother.
Army so far:
Acolyte with pet Vulcharc: I put this guy on a 40mm base for ease of transport since the birdie overhangs on a 32mm, thus increasing the possibility of being broken off.
Acolyte with glaive and mutated facemask
Annnd finally the kinda creepy Blightkings... notice anything familiar on one of them? Hint: looks like an OLD Nurgle model from back in the early days...

Is there mention of the Star Phantoms being a successor chapter? I just had a look at them - 23rd founding so it could be that they just have a symbol in common with the Dreadwing (how many chapters use skulls? or Eagle Wings?) or even that they're based on DA gene-stock, though that wouldn't imply that they have any direct connection to the Dark Angels in terms of being part of the Unforgiven or having Heresy-Era DA equipment.
Acolytes are coming along nicely - are they the ones from Silver Tower or the standalone/Hammerfal ones? They seem to be monopose?

8 of them are Silver Tower acolytes which are monopose guys. The other 9 are the standalone guys included in Hammerhal. Please note there should be 10 with Hammerhal, but I ended up being a pair of legs short. We'll see if gw will send out another sprue or kit lol.The acolyte box set is pretty nice and has a good range of poses. I'm splitting them into dual wield and shield guys just so I don't have to mess about in games.
I see what you're saying Azazel, I think this is the kind of discussion that GW encourages to be honest!
