    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

ChildofFang's Stormcast

The First Stages

The first year of AoS was pretty slow for me and that was mainly down to not have an army on round bases. Some time was spent playing with the Ogres and Demons I already owned but then I was thinking of repainting the demon army itself and all of a sudden the call of a new army beckoned. Since the Stormcast were released I was tempted, the models are cool, the premise is cool and then the Dracoth cav came out and I was sold. A starter set was purchased, a mate then got rid of all his stuff so

Tale of Gamers: Month 2 COMPLETE!

So month 2 comes to a close, and we've had our first casualty! Jon has dropped out, realising he would not be able to complete the second month in a row, and having lost all motivation (despite our group bullying motivating him senseless) he has invoked the £50 buy out clause in order to avoid all further fines. He has assured us he will try and get SOME painting done, but we will have to see! Gordrakk, Fist of Gork So here he is! Finished, based, completed. No fine for me this month!

Tomb Scorpion!

I've started in on my next TK unit, the humble Tomb Scorpion. i am going for more of an actual dead scorpion over one made of bone or stone. Kind of like they found this giant dead scorpion, entombed a liche priest in its carcass and stuck a bunch of ornamental stuff on it, you know, the usual. so far I'm liking how it's looking. This should hopefully be pretty quick to paint to. I'm doing the carapace in sections so I don't burn myself out. The legs are next.

Sunchaser slowly subjecting himself to several hours of satisfying sylvaneth painting!

Huntmaster with his 3 trophies taken from 3 generals.

Took a bit of a break from... well... everything but now that Im back I set to work trying to work over a paint theme for my kurnoth hunters.   Really wanted to set this mini apart from the others. He has been the last man standing in several battles. In 3 different battles he has killed the general. Once as he was the last man on a hill he launched an arrow through some trees killing the general. Second time he was also the last man standing on a hill when he got charged by

Goodwin's Forces of Chaos

The Cygor Arrives!

I was going to write up something inspring, but I'm not all that inspired by this guy! I'm pretty sure I like how his skin turned out, but I think that's it.  And even that is a little chalky!  Not my best work I don't think. -.- I've been digging the Warherd stuff up until actually nearly finishing it.  I may just be getting sick of painting Beastmen.  I'm bad for wanting everything I don't already own, nothing I own is ever cool anymore.   This weekend my interest has gone from Flesh

Tale of Gamers: Month 2 - HOBBY PROGRESS!!

Month 1 Recap So the first month is done, how did the club get on? Well if you read my last entry you'll know I failed spectacularly by getting nothing painted. I'm pleased to say that I'm not alone! I was joined in my failure by Jon and Will, so there's £60 for terrain already! Jon and I fall into a special category of "set ourselves way too much to paint then make excuses about it". We both set ourselves somewhere in the region of 40 models to paint, which was just silly. Make sure y

Tale of Gamers! Hobby Progress?

It's been a while since I last posted, I'd love to say I've been really busy and had loads of stuff that has gotten in the way of hobby, but the fact is I've just been really really lazy. Fortunately for me my local gaming group are keen motivators, finding that delicate balance between getting me to paint and making me feel small and insignificant! So, whats new? Tale of Gamers! With AoS being fairly new, and having taken on some fresh blood recently, we decided to run a tale of gamer

A Hoarder to Getting On the Boarder

OK Let's Make Some Ground Rules

As someone mentioned in my last entry, I need to learn how to use photo bucket or something similar once I get a little more free time and some actual models painted instead of the mess that is my hobby room/bedroom.  But I wanted to sit down and make a list of goals and rules I hope to accomplish and follow to make a real change in my hobby attitude. 1.  Get rid of all Warhammer 40,000 modles, aside from a few unique exceptions.  I have not played 40k since 3rd edition and truly have no lo

Paint Scheme Test

I've started working on my Deathrattle army.  Here are some the first batch of figures, wip.   This is my Necromancer (or Lich, depending on if my opponent will allow the use of a home brew unit). I'm trying to get the blue to be something like the blacks you sometimes see in comic books, where a character is in a black suit, but highlights are done in blue.  Not sure that I'm giving the correct impression or not.  Also, I'm not incredibly happy with the flames.  I'm going for blu

Converted Squig Gobba

With this model I wanted to make it as different from the original Forgeworld model as possible. So it seemed obvious to have its mouth filled with squigs at the point just before spitting. Looking at the original model it is based on a frog or toad with a lot of loose skin around its throat, which when full would be greatly expanded. So I set about converting the model buy chopping away the mouth and resculpting the lower half of the face. I am happy with how the squig turned out and thoug

The Friendly Neighbourhood Painting Service

Work is progressing as planned! ...almost.

The first delivery of models arrived and everything is now built and some of it primed. 32 Dryads, 3 Kurnoth Hunters, 1 Branchwych and 1 Treeman Ancient.  The dryads was fairly easy to assemble and the last 4 went from sprue to base in 23 minutes. I timed it. The Treeman was a lot of fun to build and it was nice to just build it according to the instructions. The biggest hassle have been the Kurnoths. Magnetizing options for scythes and bows meant a lot of drilling and a lot of magnets. If any

Realm Hoppers Campaign: The Wolves of Ghur

Règgio and The Wolves of Ghur

To start the campaign, I have chosen Order Free People and therefore chose my war band from these Path to Glory tables. Below is the beginning of my story in the campaign. The story of Règgio and The Wolves of Ghur.     It had been a year or so since the war to defend the city of Greywater Fastness , the war which had seen the death of the King of Bretonni and ruler of House Houghton. The kingdoms were in ruin, the Kings only son Paladin Hènry was also killed in the final

A Hoarder to Getting On the Boarder

The Story Starts Here

So where to start . . . I began playing Warhammer over 20 years ago.  Since that time I have developed a problem.  I am a hobby hoarder.  Over the years I have collected more then I ever painted or played with.  It became an obsession to own everything that ever came out, even when I did not have plans to use it.  Following are just some more pictures of the situation I am in.  These are just a few of the examples on how by not painting and playing can begin to grow into quit

Meanwhile in the Silver Tower

Excelsior Warpriest

One of the best looking models in the Silver Tower box is the Excelsior Warpriest. I really like the Games Workshop colour scheme so I decided to paint him this way. This is how I did it: Step 1: Brown primer applied with airbrush. Step 2: Skin First of all I gave the skin a wash with Druchii Voilet. Then I layered using a wet palette. These are the colours I used: Abaddon black, Vallejo Panzer Aces dark rust, Beasty brown, Vallejo Panzer Aces light rust. Step 3: White cl

The Creeping Tendrils of Chaos

...and continue!

After a few crazy weeks at work I return!! Finally got some hobby in this week and finished all the base coats and shading on my first batch of blood reavers. I am really enjoying building my bloodbound. AoS is infectious! My small warband is growing and creating its own character as I paint up units and characters. Ive managed to catch up on all my pod casts and particularly annoying recent topics regarding painting time and optimising painting opportunities. picked up my ne

The Harbinger

Here is my Harbinger well dismounted since his mount which is a palanquin of Nurgle  I kinda misplaced somehwere and can't find it which sucks. The Palanquin is done so it can be used for a multitude of my other Nurgle minis I have both 40k and AOS so the Harbinger can just fit in it quite easily (as I originally made it for a 40k Sorcerer)   He was made using a Chaos Sorcerer Lord with a head swap from the Blight King set (also where the shield on his back came from too) Has a Plague

Life and Death - Possible background for my Deathrattle army

I have an idea on some background fluff for the Deathrattle army I'm considering making. Here's are the very basics.  There is a human tribe, somewhere in Ghyran.  They are fairly primitive, or at least very ignorant, and little connection to the realms at large.  In fact, they are completely unaware that there are any other realms than where they live.  However, they have some major strength, I'm leaning towards the idea their rulers are natural casters, or perhaps they are great craftsmen
