CoffeeGrunt Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 After taking a long break from AoS, I'm starting to get back into it. GHB17 was a bit disappointing in that very little has changed other than my Tomb Kings counts-as units being a bit useless now, but hey-ho. Got Mannfred painted up at last, still gotta sort out his missing cape skulls that seem to have gone walkabouts during storage. Was a nice change of pace from all the 40K I've been painting lately: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Welcome back! Agreed...nothing too new for death just seemingly straight up downgrading! But unlife goes on. Mannfred is looking superb, nice cloak blends! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah, I was just hoping for some things to shake up playstyle and the like. I mean, there's some nice additions and changes, but at the end of the day I'm pretty much still running the same lists in the same old way. Ah well, here's some Dire Wolves I quickly slapped some paint on. These being Battleline might open up fun new options for me. (All cavalry force? All cavalry force!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Finally got my Mourngul finished after a few months of him sitting part-done on the shelf. Quite pleased with how the horse turned out, not entirely sure of the big beastie itself, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Got some more spooky skeletons painted up, bringing me up to a round total of 80 Skeleton Warriors! I don't have a problem you have a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Cool mourngul, I like those touches of ethereal blues/turquoise and the blood splatter. Now just because your not sold on him, otherwise I'd say he looks just fine. When I first saw your mourngul I did so with my f.lux on set on it lowest setting - candle light. This makes a really big contrast between some of your blues and some of the skin, particularly on the ribs, I think if you exagerate those blues more on the ribs, spine and other creveses and wrinkles it will really push out the details of your mourngul, heavily diluted wash of some bieltan perhaps?

If having the patience and work ethic to paint 80 skeletons to look that cool is a problem, that's a problem I'd like to have! Really great painting all around; inspiring! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a go, maybe some edge highlights of a light blue as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem you have a problem. Looking Good! Love to see some of the older Skeletons in the mix! I wish I had 80 Skeletons, sounds like you need another 40 more! So that could be a problem! (For 3 blocks at max size!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Well I got a handful more for Shadespire: Counting my 20 Grave Guard and 15 Black Knights, as well as 5 Wight Kings, I have a pretty significant load of spooky skeletons. Why yes, I am anxiously awaiting Battletome Deathrattle's release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Managed to finish this guy last night, my Warden for Shadespire, and also part-time Skeleton Champion. Pretty pleased with how he came out, it's not a bad sculpt for how easy-to-assemble he was: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Got another one of my Shadespire guys done; Spooky Scythe Bloke. Might be a part-time Cairn Wraith if the new Legions of Nagash book is good: These are quite fun to paint as light "character" models when I've only got a little time or I'm waiting on a larger project to dry.

CoffeeGrunt Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Into the fourth week of the local Path to Glory, force is going strong winning each week. I'm due to add a Vampire Lord to the below after the latest game, but it's a ferocious force atm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercake Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 love that mierce miniature model, is that the biggest one that looks like that or is there a bigger one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware it's the biggest one. Aglaeca Dreaguth. I'm also just over halfway towards completing the Sepulchral Guard Shadespire set. Really fun models to paint, despite being snap fit.

CoffeeGrunt Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 First new Death model in a long time, now finished. I'm hoping GW have a few more like it hidden up their sleeve as I'd love an army in this aesthetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Finally finished my Shadespire Warband, been absolutely loving this game lately, even if I'm getting my backside handed to me in terms of wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Got the whole army together for a big throwdown on Saturday.

CoffeeGrunt Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) So I have - quite suitably - returned from the dead as the mortal realms are ravaged by plague, and I shelter from the storm. My army is almost entirely gone, but I've been steadily recollecting pieces from ebay and exhuming unpainted Nighthaunt I sequestered away for just such a dark moment. To start with, here's two Dreadblade Harrows I've painted up: Edited June 12, 2020 by CoffeeGrunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
