Artobans Ghost Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 So it begins! Made a bunch of homemade bases. (No laughing ! Well, go ahead) my first batch of orruk boar boys. Having to cut slots in the mdf was actually a bit of a pain and of course I had to drop the dremel and 90* the drill bit ? Too much red on the one on the right I think.

Artobans Ghost Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just a little fun update. I was going to be short on all the battline units but made an incredible find today. An old starter box with 16 arrers and 16 double choppas. Going to increase the arrer boys to 30, the double choppas to 30, and I was short 2 pigstickers so I scraped bits together to make them giving me 20. That’s not all. Another drawer revealed another 10 rugluds. I’m going to throw 5 at the original 14 and add grimgorn as the champ for 20 ardboys, and the other 5 double choppa guys with jointhe oldschool unit to make 20 of them. And I found a old model that just screams warchanter with the rugluds. Decided to scrapbuild a rocklobber as well and this will bring the army to 2500 points. Now it’s truly ambitious.

Artobans Ghost Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Ere we go! The cavalry is done. The spearmen are next as they have stands. This lack of bases may pose a problem yet. Started assembling the ardboys and a mix of arrer and choppa guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisufisu Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Managed to finish 2 out of 4 ratty heroes from last month: The warlock engineer for gautfyre scorch, and-- --Warpheel, a nasty cyborg(ratborg? cyrat?) assassin with machine legs and tail. Also all kinds of talismans and enchanted poisons and weird skryre weapons, like a grenade that sticks to walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I pledge to finish my Warscryer Citadel I will use any time after that to work on Skarbrand, but it’s going to be a really tight month for my painting time. I’ve been meaning to write a blog for you all about my year in painting with the story of my first army. Hopefully by putting it here I will get around to it sooner!

Artobans Ghost Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Scrap rock lobber on the way! Budget rules all so we make do with what’s at hand. There are probably a few engineers here scratching their heads but what the heck. It’s built by a grot ? I have some of those grots from the ogre army. Can’t ghink of their names at the mo but I think they will be the crew. After the foam counterstone dissolved from the spray I remembered the old extra giant head ? The spearmen are done except for the banner boy. For some reason they are always the last if ever. Looks like I need to darken up the skin in the new ones as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artobans Ghost Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Warchanter done. I am very tired and probably should have just gone to bed. The new warchanter have 2 weapons. Since no double weapons , hopefully the different tattoos on the skull do the trick (the tattoo artist doesn’t get much business). I’m sure whatever nut he is cracking won’t mind ?Crew for the rock lobber put together. The lobber itself needs gubbins for sure. Something with some colour.

Artobans Ghost Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Moving along and away from warchanter ? Warboss on warboars and great shaman on warboar. Repainted the shaman but just touch ups on the warboss. My son did him a long time ago and was feeling nostalgic. Also a group shot of the leaders. Feels a little weird without grimgorn but I think his new place as champ of the ardboys will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunkhouseBuster Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Well, I'm going to try and make a pledge here for April. I did decently on last month's pledge, up until my relatives acted up again (but that's another story for another time!). While I did get most of the Stormcast built that I had (in spite of the efforts of some of the models), I was not able to work on my step-daughter's Death army beyond getting the pieces clipped and ready for assembly. So I will keep it realistic and simple this month. My pledges for April are: - Paint up my 3 Gorebeast Chariots (at least the Gorebeasts and chariots, no promise on the riders yet). - Assemble my step-daughter's Death army (the prospect of assembling 90 infantry, 3 monsters, and sundry others). Anything beyond that will be miraculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i'm thinking about doing Egrax Earthshade on lead belcher to make him a little more... used For the bone, it looks like a layer of Ushabti Bone (leaving the seraphim sepia in the crevices) and then the sharpest edges in screaming skull. Duncan has an excellent video on painting the Sepulchral Guard here, and that would apply nicely to your skeletons. (However for the number of skeletons needed ... that might be too time intensive ...) If you’re looking for an alternate method to paint skeletons, he has an alternate skeleton bones in one of the tips of the day version here: If you have a smartphone, I’m going to recommend the Citadel Painting App, it shows you the core color progressions to get your colors. And they have a Skeleton Warrior in the list of minis.

I’m looking forward to seeing how your Horde turns out (Even if it is a small horde ... every beginning starts small to end up at true greatness!)

Also i'm thinking about doing Egrax Earthshade on lead belcher to make him a little more... used Any advices from experts Ushbanti bone is a good "mid-tone" bone colour, it'll allow you to bring the whole model up to a nice bone finish so that your highlights just make it "pop", otherwise jumping from washed Zandri up to Screaming Skull could be a little stark. I'd do it as either a layer (or drybrush it on if you're comfortable with drybrushing to achieve a smooth finish). Then just edge highlighting with Screaming Skull on the collar bones, knuckles and features on the skull. Agrax Earthshade on the silver is spot on - edge highlight with a bit of Stormhost Silver to finish it off. I'd also do this wash before you put any bone layers on as if you overlap onto the actual skeleton it won't look like a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
