yarrickson Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Squeezed in my first game this evening. Vs Deepkin at take and hold in the realm of shadow. Not gonna lie I was taking a battering off 18 Morsarr guard but won the priority into turn 3 and used the shadow realm command trait to teleport 9 dragon Ogors onto his objective while summoning 10 Ungor to hold mine for the win. Realm of shadow is silly. Picture is my turn 1. Please excuse the proxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Boring updates as been a very busy week. Better sized base for my Herdstone arrived, as well as 30 ungor and 10 hounds for primordial call points summoning purposes. I'll use these as a palate cleanser in between painting 30 Drogors.

yarrickson Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Had a little hobby time tonight in between breaking down copies of Carrion Empire for individual resale (#capitalism) and threw together 20 Ungor. These are just for bodies for primordial call summons, possibly for objectives, possibly just to take some more Mortals for more summoning, probably just to die horribly as the drogors cleave through the enemy.

yarrickson Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 2 hours today to put the first base layer of green down on all the dragon bits on the drogors. Progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Another 2 hours this afternoon for the 2nd coat of warpstone glow. Two thin coats done. Think I'll base the flesh next before highlighting. Also calling the herdstone done for now, I'll go back and base it at the end I think, assuming I have time before Bobo. Bit annoyed at myself for the logical disconnect between the green flames at the bottom and the red eyes, but it's obviously magic so I'll leave it as is.

yarrickson Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Had my 2nd game tonight. Border War in the realm of Chamon with the feature Brittle Isles. Vs Nagash, Necro, Wraith, 15 Dogs and 60 Grimghasts. Went down to a minor loss but had several opportunities to take the major thanks to Darkwalkers/summoning/run and charge shenanigans. Good fun game, managed to summon 30 Ungor and 20 dogs over the course of the game. Glad I built based and sprayed the summoning bods earlier this week. Pic is my turn 1. Big ambush and ten Ungor summoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Managed to get back to the drogors yesterday to base the flesh on the 12 crushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 A couple of summonable cockatrices added to the Primordial call pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 After a week diverted by running a weekend of AOS for 36 players, I've gotten back on the painting wagon. That's the flesh based on all the drogors finally. An annoyingly lengthy stage. The metal is going to be just as annoyingly lengthy. Going to have to get a shift on in order to meet my BOBO deadline. Also had a practice game against Sylvaneth but didn't get any pics. Went down after he killed the three Shaggoths in a hero mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 This is suuuuper cool, I love this army concept 😀 more power to you! Good form that man! Realistically, how competitive is a list like this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, how competitive is a list like this?? Surprisingly so. For an army with only two unit warscrolls. One drop, 3 hero-wizards, summoning, dark walkers ambushing and movement shenanigans. Adds up to a decent army. Not super killy, but plays scenarios well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Some small progress tonight. Finally gave in to the impulse to buy the endless spells. The murder cow is maaaaassive. Decided to take 6 Dragon Ogors to completion just to check everything will look alright so I liberally applied Biel-tan, gloss black and flesh shade to the pictured 6, so next session I can hopefully start highlights, details and weapons. Then I might finally get an idea for what colours to paint the bases as torn between grey/brown or brown/grey. Black rims of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Base coated the talons and spurs in flat red and the weapon blades in meredius blue this evening, just on 6 for now. See how it all comes together before rolling the scheme out across all the drogors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Got some highlights, washes and detail layers down on the first 6 tonight. Next painting session will include the bases base colour I think. Starting to enjoy the detail work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Clock change and a cranky 2 year old ate into my hobby time tonight but got a little more done. Highlighted the turquoise and the brown, first grey layer on the bases. Agrax wash bases tomorrow hopefully. Then sexy black rims, a few more highlights and some tufts to completion.

yarrickson Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Calling the first 6 done now. Happy with their tabletop level looks. My favourites are definitely the ones with the great weapons, or draconic crushers. Gonna try to do the next 21 in a giant batch as BOBO gets ever closer.

yarrickson Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Metal base and the three main washes down on another 5. Started doing the metal in GW on my lunch break now as starting to worry about being tournament ready for May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrickson Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Lunch painting paying off. Managing to layer the metallic on three each lunchtime, by far the most time consuming stage. Did detail work on the 5 who got washed yesterday and by tomorrow night I'll have another 7 ready for washes. Should mean I break the back of the drogors this week and aim is to have 18 finished by this weekend, leaving another 9 for next week along with the 3 Shaggoths, the wildfire taurus, then the Cockatrices, 30 Ungor and 10 hounds for a summoning pool. If I can get through that with time to spare then I'll probably treat myself to some summoning pool expansions like tzaangor, a giant or centigor.

yarrickson Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Today's progress. The 5 at the front just need their bases done. That'll take me to 11 tabletop ready Drogors. Apologies for the poor focus. Snapped in a hurry. 2nd pic is the paints used in painting the drogors. More than I thought I was using tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarrickson Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Very much keeping momentum going. Picture shows, from left to right. 11 finished, 9 washed ready for details and the 7 still waiting for metalwork. 2nd pic is a reminder of what else I need to paint for 2k, Shaggoths and spells.

yarrickson Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Progress is slow. Real life gets in the way. But snuck in an hour tonight and did some lunchtime metalwork. Nothing complete but did bits on the taurus, Shaggoths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
