Ooo, I like that scheme, might have to yoink it - what colours did you use?

Yeah, I really like the Vargheists (and the Varghulf). They are some of my favorite VC minis, and yours look awesome

Nice work on the magmadroths guys. really loving that model the more i see it.

Did a quick test paint of my Dire Wolves.Used Fenrisian Wolves as I'm not the biggest fan of the undead ones.

Hey all, here is an update of my stormcast eternals.

Might eventually do a write-up but here are some photos from last weekend's games (showing gradual painting progress in our group):

My Stormcast chamber- Knights of the Aurora (so far). You may have noticed an abundance of hammers in my army lol.

DiscoKing: your dire wolf and vargheists look awesome!!
ShaneTB: love the stormcasts in those pics!

My first metal miniature, the Doombull, and first post.


I know, I know, sweet fish tank terrain.

Welcome!

Awesome Doom Bull! Love AoS bringing back so much Beastmen to the tables.

I haven't gotten to play with him yet :( There aren't any groups in my area that I know of, so I might get to play a game once a month if I talk a friend into it.

I don't have a project to report on, sadly, but hopefully that's gonna change when the new Orruks come out!

I'm also planning on making a board for AOS over the summer. Haven't settled on what exactly I want it to be. I can get a 4x6 1" thick slab of pink insulation foam for like $12, so I know I'm gonna be basing it on that. Can't decide if I'm gonna go with a fixed, heavily themed board, or something more generic and then lots of individual terrain pieces. Either way, I know for a fact I want to mod one of the Ophidian Archways to have a Citadel tree growing through it.

Any of you all have suggestions/ideas/inspiration for me?

~Tim?

@Wargington, welcome to Dakkadakka and great looking Doombull. (pretty nice terrain set-up too)

I know your pain of having few to play with, I don't go to the clubs often and my schedule is unforgiving for stuff like that so I'm mainly a collector.

Nice to hear your friend gives the game a go, sometimes it feels like we hobbyists are the last of our kind. God bless the internet for proving that wrong. .

Here's hoping you stumble upon a group of AoS players or build one up!

@Tim?, Cool to hear about your future plans for Orruks and a board. ( it'll be nice to see a good paint job on them)

As for the board, well, if it's to suit your Orruks then I'm picturing a beast realm style with lots of terrain like totem poles, rock formations, caves and crude huts or broken towers. Think of something like a Savannah with lots of tribal hints or pieces of a long lost civilization.

I'm picturing the archway in the middle of a Stonehenge plateau(use the stones to make chokepoints so only a few models can fight). Maybe the centerpiece of the board where your Orruks fight it out one-on-one to decide who's the new chieftain, the terrifying spirits within the archway only serving to further prove their tenacity.

Hope that helps!

Now, you see, this is exactly why I started this thread

I managed to get a group of Vargheists very cheap on eBay the other day and was going to put them to one side for now. However, DiscoKing's scheme suitably inspired me, and this weekend...



Not quite as neatly done, but this really is a very easy yet very effective scheme - if you are looking to do some Vargheists in a less pale colour than GW's examples, DiscoKing knows what he is talking about!

Many thanks and those look the dogs danglies dude

I'm nearly finished my bats and my dire wolves,then I got 2 units of Bloodknights to paint(1 unit is a repaint) and finally a coven throne then my Soul Blight army will be finished.

I'm really excited to see it finished in the colour scheme I choose,it should look pretty awesome all together,tho I've a feeling Matt will have finished a Death army and moved onto something else by the time I've finished lol

Matt those are looking sweet! Really like that colour scheme you created DiscoKing and can't wait to see the Bloodknights too!

To carry on the Death theme we seem to have running at the moment here are a unit of Hexwraiths I finished yesterday :-)

Never cease to amaze Bottle. Great work on the greens.

My Lord Relictor so far:

I really like your metal Bottle!

Getting ready to start Balance of Power, which means I need some reinforcements for Chaos. Starting with the Rotbringers, I did a small unit of Chaos Knights:



And Chosen:

Matt, your hobby output is staggering! Wish I could do stuff that quick!

Bottle, they look fantastic.

My new positivity drive means daily painting (even if it's for thirty minutes).

Last night's sprint:

That's the key

Finished a razorgor. Paint job is messy but at the same time I feel like it fits the style of the creature. Went with an arkansas razorback theme for obvious reasons lol. Khorne would be pleased.



I'm going to try and finish a destruction giant and a jabberslythe next. I enjoyed building the giant......................but I will never ever ever ever subject myself to a resin model again. Jabberslythe is really cool and all, but damn.

I just made my own Jabberslythe to be honest. Still not finished yet, but he looks cool and suitably weird.

Nice, those jabbers rocks in AoS
