TrawlingCleaner Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Once thought to be an army formed from second sons and daughters set to inherit nothing from their parents, looking to make their own way in life. Now they are coastal raiders, running down merchants and raiding Sigmar's settlements. An army I started about a year ago after picking up some kits very cheaply and going from there. I did come test models and then promptly got taken away with the hobby butterfly and have come back to them in the last 4ish months. I picked the colour scheme based on not currently painting anything green and also the ease that I can paint it. Contrast Aeldari Emerald is rad! I paint all the rivets gold as I figure it's similar to pirate's gold teeth being signifiers of status and riches. More gold rivets is more good! 😄 So far I've painted: 10 Warriors: Spoiler Knights: Spoiler Ogroids: Spoiler Centurion Marshall: Spoiler Underworlds Sorcerer Lord: Spoiler WH+ Sorcerer Lord and her bonkers brigade: Spoiler In comparison to my Flesh Eater Courts, I haven't got nearly as much painted and I've had them twice as long! Such is the way of the Hobby Butterfly. I do have a whole load more stuff to paint too including: Spoiler Daemon prince 10 Warriors 5 Knights 10 Chosen Lord on Karkadrak Lord on Daemonic Mount I'm also currently working through both of the Underworlds teams currently, the Darkoath team is the closest to being done although still very WIP: Spoiler I absolutely adore the Darkoath look and am looking forward to picking more up, I think they fit with my raider them pretty well!

Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Marvelous stuff! That green is so vibrant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 Thank you! Contrast paints are great for vibrant colours, I think because they're so pigment heavy and they're so quick and easy to use. A win win for me! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 I've gotten most of the way there with the remaining Underworlds Warriors. They're a pretty easy scheme to paint to be honest! Just some tidy ups, the eyes some stiching and the bases to go and they're done! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 What's best in life?

As are the Ravagers: 2 more units finished up for the Second Sons means my backlog gets smaller! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 (edited) After a little while of working on my 40k and MESBG armies, I'm back in the Slaves to Darkness saddle! With the Darkoath and potential Lady of Ruin heading this way very quickly, I need to start clearing the decks! So first WIP up, Chosen and an Exalted Champ!

TrawlingCleaner Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 They're coming along nicely now with the green armour starting to pop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 I wanted to get these guys done over the weekend but I bought Helldivers 2 and magically lots 48 hours somewhere. It's mostly tidy ups, reds and details left to do! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) Exalted Champion and the first 5 Chosen are done! Spoiler More warriors up next I think, I've got a Myrmidon and a Fomoroid to work on too! Edited March 19 by TrawlingCleaner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Still very WIP but the Fomoroid is comign along nicely: I wanted to go for a worn, scarred kinda skin for the belly, knuckles and the shoulders. I think once I've painted everything else I can go back and figure out what I want to change about the skin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 I'm nearly done with the Fomoroid now, it's mainly the base and the hair left to do! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 The big guy is done! Next up more 'Roids and a small Darkoath man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 What is best in life? I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on the Darkoath box! 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I got married on Monday so I've been a little busy but I've still been painting away in the background (it's very calming 😅) so I got the Theridons done: Spoiler The 'Roids so far: I'm also most of the way through a Myrmidon too, I'll see how I feel about the skin when it's complete: I managed to order a Darkoath box too which I'm hoping I'll have painted in time for the start of 4th edition! 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrawlingCleaner Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Thanks Kim! 😁 I got the Myrmi-done and was much happier with the skin after giving it a wash to dull it down a little: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Plowing onwards, I'm hoping to get the rest of the Salves to Darkness finished off before 4th edition starts. I've got these 7 warriors, a couple of mounted characters, 5 more Chosen and a Daemon Prince to paint... Then the Darkoath box arrives this weekend 😅 Still WIP but we're getting there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 (edited) 7 more mans done brings me up to the full 20 Warriors! With Underworlds being rolled into Legends it means I didn't need to paint the extra 3 models for this unit which I think is quite handy. I didn't really run the Underworlds unit by themselves anyways as it's just another 2 units to keep track of 😅 Spoiler Spoiler Lord on Kharkadrak up next I think!

TrawlingCleaner Posted Friday at 07:37 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 07:37 AM Dinoman is getting there. Washes are down and it's all layering and highlights from here! The carapace needs brightening up I think but I'm liking the effect so far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
