Congratulations!

We’ve been in the hospital for the last fifteen hours undergoing the same process for our first two. Yes, twins. And yes, I am literally one upping you.

Your painting goals are a lot loftier than mine though, I’m pledging just one model for February.

Thanks mate! 

Congratulations x2 to you, welcome to the dad life!

Not too lofty, I barely paint above GW's "battle ready standard"!

[The Painting Contract - February 2020]

Well, I've just welcomed my second son into the world so don't have much time, but this month I pledge 10x Chaos Warriors from the Start Collecting set.

I have more Knights, Warriors and Varanguard on sprues so will try and do some assembly too, probably to paint next month though!

[Wrath of the Everchosen is Eaxactly the AoS content I want to see!]

I agree, I love campaign books and am a lifelong Chaos fan so I am super keen.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath Discussion]

Yup spotted the new Ogroid. Was the weird cat-thing confirmed to be Chaos?

[The Rumour Thread]

I used to have a full unit of these, so yeah not bothered by these new Warriors being monopose 🤣

[The Rumour Thread]

Ohhhh buddy. I am going to spend some $$$!

[The Painting Contract - November 2019]

Alrighty. We're getting into the hot and humid months here in Queensland which does make painting a bit more difficult, however -

This month I will build & paint a 10-man unit for my Cities of Sigmar force - as yet undecided if this will be Shadow Warriors, Corsairs or Freeguild infantry.

I will FINISH Gotrek, 5 Hallowed Knights Sequitors and 10 Greatswords, including deciding on my basing scheme.

Any extra work I get done on my Kharibdyss will be a bonus.

Not painting related but I also want to play more games with my Blades of Khorne. Had a fun, narrow loss against Stormcast today with only 3 models left on the table at the end. Khorne was pleased!

Well last month was partially successful, got 10 Bloodletters done and made a start on 5 Bloodreavers but was very distracted by my Splintered Fang warband turning up and Gotrek being released!

So this month:

Finish my Splintered Fang warband

Finish Gotrek

5x Hallowed Knights Sequitors

I would also like to paint something for Cities of Sigmar but am waiting for the book to decide on colour schemes.

Well, I got my Splintered Fang done. I've done a bit of work on Gotrek and the Sequitors, I also got very distracted by the Anvilgard start collecting set and have built a Kharibdyss. Also got 10 Greatswords "battle ready" minus their bases as I have yet to commit to a scheme for them... overall a pretty productive month for me. Now to see if the rumoured Slaves to Darkness arrive to throw my plans into disarray again!

[The Rumour Thread]

Damn GW. Thought I was just going to spend a few months not buying anything, just working on Cities of Sigmar stuff I already owned, and then they go and drop this box of meaty boys...

How so Aelf societies work?

Do all those who have zero magic ability, can't shoot and can't fight become pirates? Like, is there is no other option left for these junk elves?

Then the most absolutely worst of these worthless pirate elves gets promoted/demoted to the position of Fleetmaster?

Sounds cool to me, bunch of bitter and twisted pointyears deciding to raid and pillage...

[AoS 2 - Cities of Sigmar Discussion]

Hello everyone,

What base sizes are Greatswords and Shadow Warriors on?

Got a whole lot of dudes to move off squares.

Thanks!

Just don't look at how many start collecting boxes you need to fill out 2k.  4 start collecting boxes, taking everything as the privateer options, is between 1290 and 1400 pts (and I don't think anyone really wants 4 fleetmasters).

Haha for me it's more of a painting project, I play once every few months but paint quite a bit!

In the meantime I have about 4000 points of Empire on square bases...

[AoS 2 - Cities of Sigmar Discussion]

Wow. I thought I just wanted rules to use my Empire guys but now I'm ready to throw all the money at an Anvilgard monster mash/pirate army...

My only issue is that with stormcast. I feel like a SCE general would override authority of any non sce free city general.

i imagine its like a SM chapter master and his marines showing up to a war the IG are fighting, step aside.

Josh Reynolds' "Black Pyramid" does a great job explaining how it would work - more of a collaborative effort between the SCE and the Freeguilds.

[AoS 2 - Cities of Sigmar Discussion]

I just hope we get something soon. I have so many ideas but I want to see how the background and rules look before I dive in...

I’d rather pay for each dlc, then to gamble for those units with money.

no interest in seeing total war  becoming like call of duty etc.

Yup not a gambling man. Rather pay once and have access to all the Kharibdyss, Doom Flayers and Dread Saurians I can handle!

And, in spite of the multitude of DLC, it's still cheaper than actually buying a single Warhammer army.

Yup, thats what I thought when I saw people complaining about paying for the DLCs!

I failed miserably last month - but to be fair to me I was counting on Cities of Sigmar news to help motivate me to paint my human infantry but nothing came out yet.

This month I am working on:

10 Bloodletters

10 Bloodreavers with axes

And maybe, at a stretch, a Warshrine.

10 Bloodletters done! Pictured with their daddies...

[The Great New Army Thread]

I am planning what is actually an old army - boxes upon boxes of grey plastic Empire soldiers - becoming something new and interesting with Cities of Sigmar on the horizon. Planning bulk infantry painted with Contrast and whole bunch of Demigryph Knights...

 

I also love this thread. I have always been a big fan of Tale of 4 Gamers and 'collecting' articles from WD...

I will 100% start an Ogre army if they are combined with these silly Death things in a cheap box and the market is flooded with Ogre halves.

Would love to see more images like these dark elves in the CoS tome. Also, in the back there are elves on demigryph (conversions)... nice

Good spotting, looks like a Witch Elf riding a Demigryph on the left...

[The Rumour Thread]

These creepy grinning skulls kind of strike me as a nod to the original Nagash model from back in the day!

[The Painting Contract - August 2019]

Alright, inspired by an incoming battletome for my Humies, I will do:

10 Halberdiers

10 Handgunners

And at a stretch, 1 hero - either an Excelsior Warpriest, Warrior Priest, Captain or Wizard (so many grey plastic models which were shelved at the end of WHFB!)
