    The Hag!

    By Eevika

    The Troggoth Hag is definitely a piece I believe every Troggoth army needs. It's amazing as a model and amazing on the table. I rarely do such detailed eyes and faces but when working on a model that is the centrepiece of your army you want to spend some extra time just to make it special. This is surely the best work I have ever done on a models face and I think there is just a lot of character and emotion on the model.  My smaller Troggoths are just green and blue but for t

Update 5 - Fell Bats/Bat Swarm

WIP Fell Bats/Bat Swarm. Trying to keep with his fluff by making a creatures of the forest/more natural than undead feel but obviously tried to link them in by using more Ruins on the the base. This is pretty much all I'm going to do modelling wise so far, next I'm going to start painting what I've got.

Wurrgog Prophet painted

I finally finished Wurrgog Prophet. I like the model very much, great details and very enjoyable to paint. I don't really need it for games, I just wanted to paint it.  However, I messed it up a bit: tried out new glaze medium, which worked fine at first, but left paint very glossy after painting. Then I soaked it in denaturated alcohol to get the paint off, but it is finecast model (?) and it went soft and I lost small details. Also I could not get the primer out from the smallest cracks.

Weekly Hobby : 4-26-17

Hey everyone!  This week's Hobby is all about preparing for Coalescence on June 10th.  The word for the event has spread much quicker and farther than I originally thought it would have for my club.  I decided to keep pushing and have been hitting up local stores to hang up flyers I printed off for the event and hopefully get players to register via email so I can get a somewhat accurate headcount. My Local FLGS's and even my local Warhammer Store has allowed me to put up flyers to help

it's not easy being green

Getting the base coats down, i did some pre-shading which didn't show as well on the PB's as I would have liked, went a little heavy on the base coat, I think it was better on the maggoth.  I then did a base of vallejo dead flesh followed by a 50/50 Dead flesh and livery green, than a final highlight of livery green.  I went super bright to start, partially following @Bruticus swamp elf tutorial, and also because i expect the washes will mute it out quite a bit.. Will cut back in some umber and

Expanding my game board, and bonus Duardin!

It's been something of a nightmare, but I've finally finished my gaming table, and I'm really happy with how it came out. The whole process started back when I started getting into Age of Sigmar - upon deciding to take the plunge and jump right back into miniature wargaming again, I decided I didn't want to half ass anything this time around; if I was going to play with miniatures, then they'd have to be painted, and I'd have to have a proper surface to play on, scenery and all. One of the

The Lords of Change

This weekend is the South Coast GT and I have finally managed to complete all of the models for the Omniscient Oracles Battalion.  It was a fun painting challenge and I developed quite a few cool tricks to help get through them in the time span and keep the models to an acceptable quality level. I used a lot of spray can work to get the base coats done and then dry brushed and washed a lot to get the variation in texture. I then went over the top with the brush to pick out specific details,

How to create a promotional flyer

If you're signed up to run your own Coalescence event on June 10th then you should have seen the first part of the event pack arrive in your inbox. The last page of that document included a graphic with some open space ready to be filled with details concerning the location, start and end times, and how to register for your own local Coalescence event! Opening the graphic in an editing program and adding some text can provide a great flyer personalized to your particular local event. @Bosti

Villanous updates

It has been far far too long since I updated here. There have been some excellent releases recently that have reignited interest in painting. The main theory was that the two Warhammer Quest boxes provide a fairly varied starter set for a small Arcanite force and shouldn't need too much adding to bulk it out a bit more. Anyone that has had the misfortune of reading my threads over on Dakka know that I have lots of ideas and only occasionally get around to fulfilling them all as I'm very easily d

Weekly Hobby Update : 4-19-17

Hello Everyone!  I have made the decision to take my blog from once per week to twice per week.  I want to have a short post about what hobby I have going on or a short hobby related topic every Wednesday, which is the post you will see today.  I also plan to continue bringing you longer more in-depth posts at the end of the week on Friday.  If you have any topics you would like to see covered in my Shorter Tuesday posts please let me know.  Today I want to share with you all the projects I am c

And now ... Gorechosen!

For the next instalment, I've taken a break from Tzeentch to finish up my Gorechosen quartet. They're a really solid set of characters, and the game is great bit of mindless fun (I'm wondering how it will compare to the other quick-playing, arena-based, low-model count, Shadespire). They're certainly enough to tempt me into getting some more Bloodbound for them (the Slaughterpriest needs to sacrifice something!). The Exalted Deathbringer has made a few appearances i

Heavy troggoth list

Hey guys! So I was going to go to a tournament on the 16th, but alas real world stuff got in the way and I couldn't make it. I also wasn't able to get all the painting I wanted done so probably for the best. I was looking and it seems like the store might hold another on the 30th with any luck. So if that goes ahead then I was thinking of dusting off my trolls.  Thinking this might be a fun list: Troll hag - 400pts Arachnarok (Spider shrine) - 280pts 6 fellwater tro

Initial Models

Initial Concept for the models is to keep them largely the same as they are to be a parody of a stormcast but with Skulls instead of helmets. The armour will be black with bone replacing any metals on the armour and the weapons, skulls and wings will be a glowing pale green (as per spirit hosts etc).  Hope to get some paint on them soon and see how the concept looks in reality

Initial Background

The initial Concept for the army. Still not 100% in stone as I'm not very familiar with the all the background so may change if totatlly counter to the canon. The Shades of Sigmar Nagash seethed. Unused to this feeling of being outplayed by that impudent fool who calls himself a god. A deal was done, Sigmar could do what he liked with the mortals but once the end came those souls belong to the lord of the dead. He broke the deal with these abominations, these re-forged souls. Once thes

Legions of Legend ends with victory!

Hey there all! Next update: Legions of Legend has ended, and I am victorious! Already posted my display board before in the April thread, but here is a pic of it in store for the final day of the competition! It came second, very fairly to a great Sylvaneth one. Also included: Me with the store's Slayer Sword, now mine for the year. Also won a framed artwork, of which I chose Mannfred from the End Times, as it's more artsy and mostly monochrome and that fits my other artworks. So, whilst the

Age of Sigmar Triumvirates

Introduction One of the things I really like about the latest Warhammer 40,000 releases for 'The Gathering Storm' is the idea of a Triumvirate. This was a word I had not heard before and as well as sounding very cool I also liked the meaning behind it: I have also recently been thinking about backstory writing for my Age of Sigmar mixed Order army, and as I recently finished my third centre-piece model for the army (A Freeguild General on Griffon), it seemed the perfect chance to add

Khorne Pure Deamon list????

Been spending quite a bit of time with my nose in the Blades of Khorne book. The more I read it the more I like the idea of Khorne deamons list. Now I have always been a Bloodbound guy but there lack of heavy hitters becomes and issue right off. Blood Thirsters and Hell Cannons with Bloodletters seems like fast fun. Anyone else building 1000 or 2000 point lists around the Deamons? would love to see your list and hear your thoughts on the Deamons of Khorne.
