New Coherency Throws Prosecutors Under the Bus

I started on my first unit of Prosecutors and it occurred to me that they may have a serious issue in the new rules. From Units: "A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group, with all models within 1" horizontally, and 6" vertically, of at least one other model from their unit." From Measuring Distances: "Distances in Warhammer Age of Sigmar are measured in inches ("), between the closest points of the bases of the models you’re measu

Very Sneaky in All That Gold

Vanguard-Hunters are done!    I've mostly worked out how I want to approach building up to 1000 points with what I have. Leaders Lord-Aquilor (General) [200 pts] Lord-Castellant [100 pts] Battleline Liberators [x4+Prime, 100 pts] Vanguard-Hunters [Axes x4 + Prime, 120 pts] Units Vanguard-Raptors [Longstrikes x2 + Prime, 180 pts] Prosecutors [Javelins x2 + Prime w/Trident, 100 pts] Total:  The question then becomes do I go for a

Not so seamless

After the usual Spring crunch, I am back to fun things. Lord-Aquilor (to lead the Vanguard-Hunters that I'm in the process of painting) has to be the worst mini from GW I've had to assemble. It doesn't have a large number of fiddly bits that have low surface area for joining, but has some pretty major gaps and the logic behind how the model was portioned for the sprue completely escapes me. Green stuff gap-filling worked (I might have been a bit impatient): I'm hoping the Vanguard

Shoulders, arms, cloaks, and chest/cloaks and chests (to the tune of head, shoulders, knees, and toes)

The Vanguard-Hunters were surprising tricky to assemble and I've learned a valuable lesson to share. The key is that certain arms match up with certain cloaks and you can tell by dry-fitting the under-pauldrons/circle bits. The cloaks then fit with torso backs; this is a bit delicate and the primary point if matching is how the cloak settles at the base of the neck. Finally, the torso front should be dry-fitted to torso back with the arms present as the torso front should slide in unde

A noob must learn what a Stormcast Eternal must know

Blogging hobby projects helps keep me motivated and any feedback/suggestions/criticisms  from the community is always useful for improving. This is my first foray into the Age of Sigmar. I've been following the lore since the End Times and really like the 2000AD and epic metal influences. I used to play Warriors of Chaos, but the idea of playing the einherjer under the guidance of Marvel's All-Father Thor was just too tempting. I went with the Hammers of Sigmar paintscheme. It's relatively
