Riders of Kurnoth

Dark Riders of KurnotH Those in the darkling covens who spent their lives enthralled to powerful sorceresses were thrust into a whole new paradigm when their petty kingdoms were broken by the assault of the vengeful Duardin and slaughtered upen the treacherous altars of Khainite cults.  A great number of wounded or lost thralls gathered together in one of the largest chambers they could defend.  Soon their numbers swelled into the thousands and Khainite shadowstalkers found them.   A n

Knights of Chaos

It’s been over 18 months since I’ve posted here and this new slaves to darkness release has got me going.  I’ve got these guys and the other five from the starter set that I’m gonna paint up and I’m planning on getting more slaves to darkness as the release them.

Sylvaneth Army Lore n stuff for 3e

A mood has struck me to make a second post today after fiddling around with my tree people.  So I made a battle line shot and decided to make a post where I can post some ideas for future updates to my project in the near future.   As a place holder I’ve taken a few photos of the army so far and a few up close for you folks to look over. Any comments or concerns are always welcome In the corporate tree people offices. I love a few of these models in particular the heroes that I have accum

Skeksis of Change

After what feels like an entire age of the realms I have finally finished my lord of change minus the basing.  I have run out of Raw Sienna so I’m going to have to wait on basing it for now.  I really had fun with the dry brushing on this guy and it surprisingly didn’t take as long as I would have thought.  Years ago I painted a frostheart Phoenix for a friend and I had flashbacks to that while I was doing the wings.  I tried to use as many different colors as I could and I like the balance I ac

Warriors of Lag

It’s been a long time but I finally finished the chaos warriors minus a few that need static grass.  I’ve started my knights using contrast colors but at this point I’m gonna need to do a lot of silver.  Hopefully these guys don’t take as long as the warriors.  I have some 40k stuff I have planned to paint.

Progress in warriors of tzeentch

Did a little painting tonight and put base coats on the warriors and the lord.  A few more simple things and these chaos warriors will be ready for basing and making my squad a horde.

Tzaangor Enlightened

After what seems like an aeon I have finally finished my Tzaangor Enlightened and Shaman.  It didn’t really take more effort than the guys on foot I just felt unmotivated to get them done and had lots of mistakes to clean up.  I got a good haul from Christmas with some more chaos warriors and a lord of change which should be really fun to paint.  I also started the changling so hopefully that doesn’t take 3 months to finish up.

Warriors of Tzeentch

I finished these guys really quickly compared to everything else I have painted lately.  I went for the color scheme I used on my first chaos army back in 2003 as a throwback to my Warhammer roots.  I had a lot of fun painting them aside from the green scale thing and the super old ones I had in my bits box.  The hunchback one was made from several broken guys I had from when I started way back when.  The sorcerer was a quick paint last night.  He was one of those models I always wanted but neve

Horrors of Tzeentch

I have been working on these guys for a while now and I am happy to say they are done.  The pinks and blues are brighter than my older ones and don’t have the varnish on them but I am fine with the way they are.  The two units of pinks I have are on different size bases( I think my first set was an old 40K box before they introduced the 32mm bases).  It is not much of a bother and I doubt I will use all 21 of them at once.  I also got the slaves to darkness starter and I love the new sculpts esp

Tzaangors

The Tzaangors are ready to march!  I got these guys done over the last few weeks.  The newer set I made as many of the mutants and great weapons I was missing as I could and the paint job is a little lighter on the skin but it’s not all that noticeable.  I feel pretty good about how the two batches blend together.  I have got a few sets of enlightened and a shaman are on the way so I’m looking forward to assembling them and putting the paint to the plastic to finish churning this Tzeentch horde

Chanters of Change

I finally got the acolytes finished after 3 years.  It was surprisingly quick I suppose all the painting between then and now has paid off.  I plan on getting the eyes of the nine for the two extra acolytes to finish it at a cool 30.  Plus I would love to convert that magister as the head on it is awful.   I glued more bits to my objective marker aka flux cairn as well.  The crystal is something my older brother gave me many years ago before we both moved to separate parts of the country so it

Screamers of Tchar n army shot

I pulled these guys off in two days.  I gotta say they were a lot easier than the flamers and gave me a satisfied feeling once they had a healthy clunk when the basing was finished.  After these I think I’m going to finish the silver tower acolytes I’ve had lying around for a few years or start the rest of the horrors.  I might do an army shot later to see how it looks altogether.   here’s a few pictures of the army

Flamers of Completion

I got the flamers finished and based as well as the curseling done.  The curseling was fun and got me thinking of doing some of the new chaos warriors if I could get my hands on some.  Next is either screamers or horrors, I haven’t made up my mind yet.

Flamers

I got a new hobby area in our new place and I decided to work on my tzeentch stuff while my wife is away.  I started late in the night but I got most of the bass coats done.  The heads and hands may look pink but they are a watered down dark cherry color that I am going to dry brush a lighter shade onto.  I want them to be bright and kind of silly looking so I want to try and paint light shades on them.

Treekin

I finally finished these treekin after getting them in December and setting them in alcohol for 5 months.  The caked on glue just peeled off and I ended up with these.  I know they arnt really sylvaneth but I like these guys and painting them was fun.  I also converted a spellsinger into a branchwraith I think of as a thornwych like ylthari from shadespire.

Progress report: Redux Quarantine Ed

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but a recent thread got me thinking of my unfinished projects.  I based a bunch of my treekin I had soaking some December when I got them as a gift for Christmas.  A cheap 20 us and 5 months and I gave a cool unit.  I plan on getting the treelord from that generation as well.  If I was to play I would hope my opponent wouldn’t care if I allied them in. Summon a lifeswarm next to them and they could do their job.  My next aspersions are to get 3 se

Contrast paint experience

This is the first time I’ve used contrast paint on anything and I feel like I used it the right way but the way it runs on flat surfaces and often leaves difficult to reach areas like the tops of these kurnoths is kind of frustrating as you need to use a light base coat for them.  I think it works better than just slapping agax earthshade on them but I’ll relegate this stuff to just another tool I can use to diversify my color range in my Sylvaneth collection.   As an aside here are some bett

Tree-revenants

I made a little progress on my tree-revenants and arch revenant.  I dry brushed a tan/grey Mix to try and brighten them up.  I did a little on the durthu as well.  Let me know what you think.

Duardin and Darklings

Due to being laid off at work I am having to get rid of a lot of my collection.  I’m not happy about it but you gotta do what you gotta do.  I was thinking about the history of my little project and came up with this.  Hope you enjoy. Deep under the surface of Arranoc a mutual bargain was struck between Darkling exiles and Duardin prospectors.  The Thrall hosts would dwell close the the surface and aid the Duardin in protection against their mutual foes as well as ample trade.  The Darkling

Brown teeth

I got some work done on my squig riders last night.  It’s been some time since I have painted so it was good to get back on track.  I started with some 40k Eldar that got me motivated to finished my collection.  These guys are not done yet but with some more time I think they will turn out good.

Slow moving

I dry brushed a few squigs with an orange and they as slowly becoming the tomato knights of yore.  It’ll be fun to see how they come along as a unit.

Recent Expansions

I haven’t had much time to work on my projects so I haven’t had much time to post any new progress.  My wife got me an Idoneth Battalion and another set of squigs and I bought a considerable about of tzeentch daemons doubling my chaos army which has been neglected for over a year and a half.  I still am not sure how to proceed with the squigs. I’m either gonna drybrush them or put a darker red wash on them.  I’m tempted to base coat them then throw in the contrast paint just to see what it

Squigalanche

I’ve gotten all the looncurse models assembled and I now a sizable Gloomspite Gitz army to paint up.  I’m waiting to get a red ink wash before I finish them so we will see how long that takes.   I was doing a little thinking and I’m thinking of having these guys come as a newly arrived faction to Arranoc that came while the isle shifted into the realm of life near the time the bad moon was near the area and after the moon left the squig herd found its way to one of the outer druid-kingdoms

Looncurse

I finally got my looncurse box today.  I’m pretty excited to get back on to working on Sylvaneth though I have started painting some of my Squigs.  Well anyway I took some pictures for anyone who wants to see.
