First 500 pts Complete

I've finished the first month of our painting challenge.  Just in time because we have a 500 pt tournament next Saturday. I didn't go nearly as far as I would like, especially on the Shaggoth.  I'm really calling them done for time constraints.  The Shaggoth deserves a lot more detail and highlighting.  I'll probably come back to it next month.  The target for next month is only 250 pts so I should have time. Overall, I'm pretty happy with them.  The pressure to complete helped me not

Dragon Ogors Work in Progress

Base coated the Dragon Ogors this morning.  Trying out a new airbrush and am super happy how quick they came out.  The rest will all be brush but it was nice to lay down the base coats in these big models. I hoping to start laying in details later today.

Dragon Ogors...Assemble!

Wow, I am way behind.  We have a 500 pt tournament next week and I finally got the Dragon Ogors put together.  They took much longer than I thought they would.  I leraned, after the first, to have the six main parts fully cleaned prior to gluing any if it.  I almost had a case where the glue dried with the parts just slightly off and the torso didn't fit, yikes. Overall, I super impressed how they fit together to hide the seems (much better than the Palladors).  That being said, after primi

Thoughts on army background

I've been thinking a bit about the background of this Thunderscorn based army.  For whatever reason, from a narrative perspective, I really like Ghur, the realm of beasts.  Part of what made me finally take the plunge on Dragon Ogors was the fact that it gave me an excuse to take monsters in may army.  I really liked the book Bladestorm, which followed Thostos Bladestorm, a Lord Celestant of the Celestial Vindicators, as he leads a Warrior Chamber into Ghur to take a Chaos fort with a realmgate

Some progress, my leader is born

The Shaggoth is the most complicated resin model I've done (lots of metal back in the day and plastic recently).  I was out of the game when the finecast change came.  I think it mostly went together well.  I pinned the horns and am not sure I love how they went together. I would eventually like to make a custom herdstone, I'm thinking an obelisk with a lighting rod on top.  To keep things simple for now, I'm just doing a regular herdstone.  I'll want that if I ever run regular beasts I sup

It Begins...

My local game store is doing an event where everyone competes to complete a new army and then have tournaments at intervals with different sizes. https://www.facebook.com/events/2315441201860803/?ti=cl I have always loved the look of the Dragon Ogors.  With the recent release of Beasts of Chaos I thought this would be a good opportunity to build up an army. My first 500 pts will be: Heardstone Shaggoth Two units of Dragon Ogors
