My last batch of liberators. With the lockdown, I couldn’t get hold of corax white so I had to substitute with another. 
still not @Chikrit’s level or finish but my castigaors will suffer the same fate. My evocators though, will have the corax. 
Also a flame canon to add to the Duardin guns. 

Come on, man, you're gonna make me blush!! I'm still a super n00b at painting.  😊

So I may not have made any progress on Eltharion because I got distracted by 40k and painted my first ever Space Marines, albeit heretical...

I've convinced myself this isn't really a new army - just a continuation of my Khorne army, further along the timeline!

So, for now, I'll pledge to fully paint:

  • 5 chainrasps
  • The third and last building of the mausoleum (Garden of Morr) and the statue. Also, complete all four bases.
  • Some walls of that, also

Also, I'll work on some bases for the last minis painted:

  • Mortis Engine
  • Treelord Ancient
  • Some chainrasps

And lastly, I'll build lots of models that I hope are coming in Mortal Realms, and paint some.

Ok, not bad month, but diverged a bit from what I planned, because I felt some other way when time came 😅 

I've completed the 5 chainrasps that I left WIP last month. I finished the buildings and bases from the mausoleum. But I haven't touched the walls, and haven't worked on the bases of those minis. I felt like painting 4 other Myrmourn Banshees instead, and that's what I did 😇

Also, I built all minis from issues 17 to 20 of Mortal Realms magazine, and couldn't resist to paint the Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed. It's a very beautiful mini, I must say. I finished this month's pledge (sort of) very happy with the overall results. Photos now!

The full blob of chainrasps, as of now. 30 guys. Will be 40.

All my 8 Myrmourn Banshees, led by the Tomb Banshee

And the beautiful Knight

After taking the photos, I sent all banshees to patrol around the mausoleum in the cabinet. You can see how I have arranged the mausoleum (walls only primed atm). On the right, there is the WIP area, but it will be the Flesh Eaters Courts area once they arrive. (sorry for the light on this one, just took it because I found it funny)

I don't have a great picture of just the unit, so I will post one in here a bit later. Here is a small army shot with the 20 dryads in the front row.  Also included is a converted Treelord Ancient (the Pine Crone), a converted Branchwych, branchwaith, and 10 converted Tree-Revenants.

So after my quite lengthy mid-month update, I ran out of steam and was only able to paint one more Slaughterpreist, so here he is.

So as usual, I went a *little* overboard on the Blood for the Blood God application, but I think he looks pretty decent overall. It's a little messy but rule of cool and all that. I'm going to have 3 Slaughterpriests in my army, so to get a little variety I converted on a different axe head from some Skullreaper bits I had. I pinned it on and used Superglue to get it together. (If you want Khorne bits I suggest getting a box of Skullreapers/Wrathmongers)

Here's a group photo of some of the models I've done in the past plus the newly finished Slaughterpriest. I'll be entering this photo in the Best Fantasy Squad Category in Goonhammers Annual Painting Contest. I don't think I'll take home a prize or anything but I would like to measure myself against other painters.

Anyway, until next month!

I first read "I ran out of blood (for the blood god)" ;)

 

 

Yeah well that wouldn't be the first time that's happened lol. Blood for the Blood God is my favorite GW paint btw.

Definitely has nothing to do with my being a Khorne player.
