Promethean Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi All, So in an effort to keep my motivation up when painting (I'm notoriously terrible at keeping to one project) I've decided to keep a track of all my projects in AOS (I also play Horus Heresy but don't tell anyone here - pewpew) in this log (blog?) so I can share what I'm working on, share my passion for painting and hopefully keep going to do more. I've tagged the post with Chaos and Death, as given my tendencies to flit about I know I'm going to dip into both GA eventually. However, I'm starting with Chaos for now. I decided to sell of all my 8th Ed stuff as I had Skaven (and a small Wood Elf force) and couldn't be bothered re-basing. First mistake. Now I'm having to sit and wait to get going properly on the gaming side whilst borrowing a mates Seraphon (shudder) army to use whilst I'm painting and buying away. What I would say is that whilst I didn't play a massive amount of 8th (and never played WFB before then) I'm already enjoying AOS way more than I ever did Fantasy. The loss of battleline being the victory condition and moving to objective based gaming is so much more appealing to me coming from the 40K/30k side of things. I've been in the hobby over 20 years and this is the first time I'm prioritising Fantasy miniatures over Sci-Fi ones. Touché GW, touché. Anyway enough of my ramblings - to the miniatures!

Promethean Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 So first of is Gutrot Spume, who I've painted up recently because I love the model. Hope you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promethean Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 As an update - and because I'm on a roll today after these posts have sat in draft for a while, I'm also half-way through a Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmith (the WW exclusive) WIP to follow or the finished article assuming I can get it finished over the next few days. I've also got Tamurkhan washed up and sitting in his box ready to be built up (I love that my wife bought me that!) and I've also got 3 Stormfiends on the table because.... well, Stormfiends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Great start, tentacles are looking good. Will your chaos dwarves tie in to your nurgle colours at all or going traditional colours? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promethean Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks Bud Going fairly traditional with the Chaos Dwarfs. Gone with red/orange armour with gold trim so far. Am hoping to really expand the force out to all facets of daemons and the other stuff so I'm keeping basing consistent but otherwise going for whatever works I think!

Promethean Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 So here's the current WIP of my Daemonsmith - got loads of detailing to do on him still including all the base but the majority is down now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nice skin tone! Really smooth and ruddy, like a dwarf should be. Everything seems a bit bright though, it may be the camera or you're not done yet ? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promethean Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks @Soulsmith - it is a bit of both I think. Need to glaze and wash down the gold in particular but the lighting isn't helping (it's sat right under my lighting apparatus as I took the pic) Will keep the posts updated as I do more - nothing for a couple of days though as away travelling with work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promethean Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 For some reason my text didn't come up on the post above?! Anyway, here's my Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmith done. Enjoy! Next up, some Infernal Guard or Stormfiends (maybe Tamurkhan but I need some troops now!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Excellent! The green is a nice contrast to the red and ties him somewhat to your nurgle guys. Look forward to seeing the guard after this guy. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promethean Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks mate - I'm hoping to get cracking on with them this weekend. Need to get the airbrush out to start building the armour up and then go from there although I'm dying up the Flesh-Eater stuff at the moment so who knows?
