Bloody well done sir. The effort in the conversion work has paid off as that winged Gryph-charger looks amazing and the joins are pretty seamless. Painting wise, its pretty glorious too - the patterning on the forelimbs is really subtle but gorgeous, and I love the blue on Aventis' cloak. I think I mentioned before how good the Sacrosanct stuff would look in your capable hands and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you do with them. Thanks man, appreciate the kind words. As mentioned above I am glad I stuck at it with the conversion, it was looking pretty dire at times as it's not quite as simple as it looks. Glad you like the patterning on the forelimbs as well...I really had to pause and think before I went with it as it would've taken some time to undo if I didn't like the look. I'd had a few beers by that point though so the Dutch courage was flowing!! I have a full 2,000pt Sacroscant army assembled now, so will be painting more stuff in this scheme. Realistically it may not be until 2019 though. We'll see. On 9/1/2018 at 2:01 AM, hammer49 said: Love the colour scheme your going for especially phoenix guard. Cheers mate!

As mentioned, it's not an easy conversion, but it's worth the hassle IMO. An aelf would look pretty great atop this mount I reckon. You may need to replace the front armour with something less Stormcasty though. On 9/5/2018 at 2:01 PM, Crono said: /subscribed. Amazing Thanks Crono I have begun work on a simplistic display board for this army as I will be taking it to Facehammer GT in a couple of weeks and wanted to improve the presentation. Not sure if I mentioned here, but I went to a small 28 player one day event with this army a couple of weeks ago. I managed to win Best Army and also got 3/3 wins. There was something a bit off with the draw in the final round I think, as such I only managed 4th place. Still, was nice to put in another solid performance even if it was a smaller field. Lets see how we do at FHGT! I've also recently assembled a 2,000 pt Order Draconis army!! That will be painted in a different colour scheme and will be the fire to this army's ice! I may just stick it in this thread anyway. It's my next main painting project. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Pheonix Temple now has an unprecendented 87.5% Match Win Percentage and is the most broken army in AoS? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Morning all, I played a great game of Warhammer last night vs @Bueno and his Wolves of Ghur (Khorne) army. Both our armies share a similar colour palette, with snow basing and an almost identical blue used on the cloth in our armies. We were able to play on a snowy FAT mat with appropriate terrain and it just looked pretty great, so I thought I'd share some pics. They were taken on my phone and aren't focussed overly well, so don't really show the armies off to their best tbh, but it gives you a nice idea of the battle! Also, you can check out Ben's thread here and have a proper look at this lovely army; https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/6646-wolves-of-ghur-and-many-other-aos-projects-1st-post-updated-to-contents-page/?tab=comments#comment-58326 Enjoy, Chris 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Tomlin Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hey guys, I took the army to Facehammer GT this weekend and managed another good performance at the tables, going 4 major wins and 1 loss. I came in 5th place out 88 so not bad at all for a non Battletome army composed of 3 warscrolls! More importantly though, I won Coolest Army, which was a massive honour in such a tough field. Here's some photos of the army complete with the display board I made for the event. Enjoy; 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzaangor Management Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Gorgeous army and the cherry on the cake seeing it on the display board. Been great seeing it come together in this blog and on Twitter, very inspiring! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnied3 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Late to the thread as always .....but your work is amazing Chris. I love everything about this - the scheme, the execution, the icicles ;). The conversions are super smooth too. Totally glad it paid off you - both on the table and off. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next batch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiagoma Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 @Chris Tomlin Hi there, i also got a flight of Phoenixes and was considering a head swap of the Tauralon , but with a Phoenix Head. I never seen this ScE in person and was wondering if you think it would fit. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
