Progress is progress. Basecoats down.

FIMIRS!!!

Fimir are coming along nicely. In part inspired by you I have started to assemble mine...poorly.

Turns out I put one poor chap's arm on upside down. He's the one that's on the far right of your picture. Turns out that it looks right both ways. So...gonna have to figure out how to fix that. Killed my motivation a bit.

So I'm painting my Carmine Dragon instead.

Thanks.

They were the most pain I've had putting together a kit since building two Exorcists... ruddy nightmare.

There's a bit of warping with warm water and green putty going on under that basecoat.

Until now I had only my Daemons and Lizardmen (which continued growing) for AoS. A couple of days ago I found a new Island of Blood set and got it for a little over 40 pounds. Next purchase will be the AoS starter and then flesh out the elves, skaven, bloodbound, meagre fyreslayers and stormcast a little more. I'm planning on expanding on my games of Order vs Chaos (in the highly fantastical dreamy worlds) and hopefully, in an year or so, I'll be ready to start a brand new Orruk Punishment Party Band....

OK, ok, I just wanted to tell everybody that I finally got the prince on griffon that I've been wanting for so long

Can't wait to see them finished,awesome models

Finished the 1st repaint of a Bloodknight and I'm well chuffed with the result

Filling out my Stormcast army. I felt the gold faces made them somewhat unrelatable, like one of the faceless hordes of scary clones that always fight The Doctor on Doctor Who. So I like to sub out 1/5 of the masks for Sanguinary Guard heads that I feel work very well. I did a little conversion on the relictor to give him a joke on Hamlet, after all, he's always thinking about Death. I also remove the backpack on the Vexillor because I think the halo distracts from the banner that should be the focal point. Will soon have both my 40 piece Khorne and 35 piece Sigmar army done and I can actually play the game for the first time ever. Hope I like it lol

Those heads are perfect for a swap, nice job!

They are cheap and plentiful on eBay. Only crappy thing is only three of the heads work, the others have cyborg eyes and Bane masks and what not, but they are cheap enough it doesn't matter. I give two out of ten troops the heads and also the heroes that are easy conversions. I.e. Not the Lprd Celestant. Hope that helps.

Those Fimir are going to be epic.

@Johnroycomic,

Sweet job on those Stormcast, showing some humanity is always great to see of such mighty warriors. (Bravo on the Hamlet joke)

Hope your first game goes well!

It's taken a while but I finished jabbers. Sweet pics in front of grandma's cottage.

Nothin like a bit of nightmare fuel for a beastmen army, eh? Lol. Nice Jabberslythe!! Is he resin?

DiscoKing: That vampire knight looks badass! Nice job!

With the news of a points system coming out, it has inspired me to finish stripping my High Elves and start rebasing them. Here is what I am assembling and getting ready:

Tyrion (still in mail)
Teclis
Allarielle
Korhil
Eltharion the Blind (Oh yes, will be using as a Prince)
Army Box Battle Standard Bearer
Mage on Foot (Still in mail)
Mounted Mage (Still in Mail)
20x White Lions of Chrace
20x Shadow Warriors
20x Dragon Princes
10x Ellyrian Reavers
2x Repeater Bolt Throwers

I am basing them on 30mm round lipped bases for the infantry, and 50mm round lipped bases for the bolt Throwers and cavalry. I will get some pictures up once I get them all on based! Now I just need to get myself an Alith Anar and my army is complete for what I want it to be.

Yes, and I hated building it. Will never buy another resin model if I can help it.

It has bubbles everywhere from the mold, you have to sand the crap out of it, heat it up in boiling water to fix how warped it is, and use a lot of liquid green stuff.

I couldn't bend the front claw/ground pieces back into shape; so I had to raise the base using some dry clay, sand, and liquid super glue.

The wings were crooked as hell too. Tried my best but one of them is still a little bent.

You can see the difference with GW's stock photo. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Jabberslythe

He's still pretty cool looking, can't wait to see him animated in total war.

I already made a few posts in my P&M blog here, because I don't want to crowd up this thread so if you want to see more of the army:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/686966.page

A few followers of Tzeentch had already joined the Decadent Host - Turning on their disfigured and mutated masters and instead choosing to dawn purple/blue cloaks and serve the Returned Prince of Slaanesh (he was just too handsome to resist).
With their knowledge, Sigvald has saught out, defeated and enslaved a Lord of Change to use as an oracle and guide in his search for Slaanesh.



An unfortunate result of these new tzeentchian servants is the annoyance and indifference of Sigvald, who hates the sight of twisted deamons and frail sorcerers, and thus refuses to acknowledge them unless in battle. Therefore all of Sigvald's former tzeenchian subjects have either dawned masks, or are hard at work devising new spells and magics to change their bodies with more handsome and beautiful features like their master.

Again, I didn't want to crowd up this thread so if you want to see more of the army:

It did occur to me but a) I don't have a camera big enough and b) that would take all day to get them all together!

Oh, and c) I may not have a table big enough...

Congratulations, Mr. Mongoose Matt! For someone who claims to have no talent (though no one believes you), and has such a busy painting table, your standards are top top class. Great job!

Nice bit of background fluff

Wow, Matt. Archaon looks boss. A great choice for your 100th model! And Sonofsigvald, amazing work as always! Your army is really starting to take shape.

I really don't have Talent What I have instead accrued are Techniques. Any praise should really go to Duncan and the Painting Guides, as all I have done is follow those!

Here are some of mine for my current escalation league.

Counts as Fleshhounds!



This is a Karanak conversion using Wof Lord's thunderwolf and a few bits.



Valkia the bloody!

Just a WIP of what I am working on.

I'm preparing to go to my first AoS tournament - the Bristol a Smash in June. Here is what I need to finish off before then.

This deserves another quote... Amazing job Matt!

Just realized it's your 1000th model and not your 100th!? Holy smokes... Well done Matt! Roll on number 2000 ;-)

Did me my big 'ol Morbidex Twiceborn. Starting on Ironjaws on wednesday, the Megaboss was sold out.

Holy cow there is some great stuff in this thread. Keeping me very motivated.

Oh man, this looks awesome! Love the skin work, especially the areas that look bruised.

I'm really thinking the Orruk release means we're going to see a huge surge in AoS sales.
