Ravenborn | The Dark and the Dead (Dec. 19 update)
Ravenborn replied to Ravenborn's topic in Painting and Modelling
Kinda’ a ****** year, involving layoffs and other shenanigans, but I’ve been getting back to painting… Well, repainting. I wasn’t happy with the Ulfengard, so I replaced the swords, heads, and paint. They looked a bit cartoony, and I wanted them to fit in more with the Cursed City look; gritty, practical soldiers with more historical, proportional looking helmets and weapons.- 30 replies

Still WIP. I painted a vampire knight to see what colours worked, and FINALLY settled on dark turquoise and crimson. All metals will use metal paints with washes to age them. The standard Ulfenguard will be reversed: dark turquoise livery, with red sheilds.- 30 replies

Really like the hunched-over poses. What are the bodies from?

Ugh. Got laid off from my job a couple weeks ago, so painting’s a bit less of a priority these days. 😡 Work continues on the dragon though, pretty much finished one side and started the other. I also just about finished ten skellies. In the end I went green for the cloth, wanted something that looked a bit dirty, not so bright. I’m already rethinking my decision lol. I’ve decided to use actual metals instead of NMM for a change, to speed up the process a bit. I bought about ten GW metals, including bronzes, irons and coppers. I’m hoping the copper looks good with the green for the elites. Here’s a WIP: I love painting cloth when it has sharp folds and draping.- 30 replies

Thanks for the feedback. I knew it was a long shot, looks like they’ll stay on the shelf.

@NauticalSoup Your previous advice was fantastic, so I have a new question for you; You said the ballistae are “meh”. What do you think about the other CoS artillery, such as the helblaster or helstorm? Would choosing either of them be better than the ballistae? I think my main goal for them would be to target heroes and monsters.

Squirrel! Got distracted again by the deadboyz. I always seem to end up with purple these days. Love to hear what you think works better... red or purple? I like red, but most of the undead armies I've seen follow use a red scheme, so I want to try a few things before commiting. The regular deathrattle skellies won't have as much copper, I wanted the Grave Guard to be easily identifiable.- 30 replies

Much appreciated, thanks!

I’m just hopping back into playing after an extended break… something about a pandemic… where can I find the most up-to-date point values for armies? I bought the last Generals’ Handbook that had updated PVs, but I can’t remember if an errata was issued after that. Thanks!

Great point! I didn’t think to compare those. Thanks!

Thanks again! What do you mean by “brackets”? I’m not familiar with that term in gaming.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is amazingly helpful. I’m completely aware I’m hamstringing myself by sticking to dark elves, but I’ve wanted an delf army for over 30 years now Your notes will help me finish a 1,000 test list with tempered expectations. I’ll definitely consider the Phoenix Guard rules for the BG, given that these are for friendly games anyways. Is a hydra preferable to the Kharybdis? Its ranged attack seems like a better choice.

Question for experts here: what city should I use for my all Dark Elf army? I have the Morathi book, and was intending on using one of the lists from that, but I don’t know if that’s still valid. Here’s what I’d like to field, based on what I’ve painted: Black Dragon with dreadlord Fleetmaster Assassin Sorceress Celestial Hurricanum 20 corsairs 20 Darkshards 20 Black guard 10 Drakespawn knights Chariot (haven’t decided which) 2 celesta ballistae Kharybdis Also have lotsa DoK. This has been a passion project for me for a few years; all the models will be Delves, including the ballistae and Hurricanum. I’ve only got one game of AoS3 in, so I really don’t know what might work. It’s not for tournaments, just fun. Any advice would be appreciated, but I’m especially looking for suggestions on which city to start with. Thanks!

Bit more progress. The gold helps tie the rider and mount together better. And painting each scale gets tedious, taking breaks to paint other parts, or even other models, helps prevent me from getting sick of the model.- 30 replies
