A place for my intermittent updates about my hobby.

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

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.

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

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.

Trees of all Colors

I finished the dryads and got them based.  As I start to see what my painting looks like it the day light I notice that I rush through models very quickly and often leave mistakes that glaringly stare me down every time I get the models out to look at.  Given I don’t have a proper place to paint and the lighting is usually bad when I do get to paint through the night until 5 am on my days off of work it becomes evident I need to get a place for myself that I can focus on painting more.  I have n

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.

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.

The Fallen and Greenskinz

The path of elevation within the Druid order is a long ordeal that many cannot accomplish the intricate enchantments and mastery of life magic that would grant them access to the Wellspring of Renewal.  Being near to the source within the Temple restores a beings soul and fills them with vitality hence the power the ancient treelords possess anywhere on the island though the almost never leave the confines of the great tree the temple was built within.  Those druids that cannon grow within the d

Tales of Arranoc, the Last of the Shimmerfalls

Boledrian cast the runic seeds for a tenth time with the same result.  Always the specter reigned above the Lady.  Death over life.  No divining with runic seeds was ever the same, with slight variations in the scatter.  But this was different.  The seeds told the same story every casting. "Death will reign", creaked a figure from the shadows of the dark night.  The voice belonged to the malicious spite-revenant that was his near constant companion.  Boldrian gathered the seeds and gla

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

Sylvaneth

I have finished assembling and primed the Sylvaneth.  I’m thinking of using a few different shades of brown should give it a nice diversity.  I have been waiting for a spirit of durthu for a long time and I’m happy to finally have one.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Reapers and rasps

I finally finished the chainrasps and based the Grimghast Reapers as well as the shackleghiest.  Aside from some touch ups they are done and I am moving on to the knight of shrouds.  Next week will see the rest of the sheets done and hopefully a nice cohesive army

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

Progress on my Death army

After the recent move we now have an area dedicated to our nerdy pursuits.  My intent with this blog is to have a place where I can post updates on my armies and writing.  Mostly I have been focusing on my Death and Destruction factions, though the Orruks are still unprimed and waiting for more boys to make the effort worthwhile. So far I have the majority of my nighthaunts painted with a basic two tone drybrush that seems to be my go to for cloth-like texture, smoke, and wood.  I hope to update

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.

Nighthaunts

I made good progress this week and finished the few remaining models.  All that is left are the banshees and that won’t take long.  I’m thinking of getting more as well as the mortarch and craven king to finish the army.  Once the army. Is at the 2000 mark I want to try a game with them and see what that looks like.

Nighthaunt ahoy!

I think these grim ghost reapers have to be the fastest from sprue to paint that I have ever done.  We got them last Thursday and now they are perhaps 3 more steps to completion.  I threw in the Banshees in with them for the sake of it.  I love the way the dry brushing looks on Nighthaunt models and makes it so much easier than picking out the lines with a small brush.  I have so many large brushes that I can sacrifice as many as needed unto the alter of progress.  I order Soul Wars and it shoul

Musterings

I finally got some shelf space cleared to set up my models.  Seeing it now it seems like a lot of models but I know it isn’t enough hahaha.  The chaos army is kinda lacking sitting in the back corner and that sea of dryads takes up a lot of space.  It is really nice to see them all set up together for once.

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.
