P.S I wish the G-word and the Q-word weren’t auto-censored on this forum. They shouldn’t be taboo.

Thank you for posting this. I’m so happy to see messages about diversity and greater acceptance in the hobby and that GW are now actively promoting that.
I’m a ****** man myself and I’ve been out and happy in most aspects of my life since I was fairly young. But as any LGBTQ+ person knows, coming out is not something that just happens once in your life; it’s something you need to tackle (or at least take a decision on) in any new social group or environment. I’ve never encountered any toxicity in the hobby personally, but because I had heard stories I have never been fully open with casual friends and acquaintances who I’ve met through gaming. Maybe that needs to change…
At the end of the day, this is a very creative and social hobby, and it attracts all kinds of people. There’s no reason why it should be a cis het boys’ club (not saying it necessarily is, but I fear at least some hobbyists still see it this way).
Congratulations on your transition. Here’s to a happier and more whole you.

Got very little of my pledge done 😞 , but managed to make a start on all of it at least...
I started my skellies and finished one extra blood knight (one to go), and couldn't resist starting my Vengorian Lord. He's not quite finished yet - needs more highlighting on the skin, wing membranes, cloth and armour.
I did manage to finish my Zombie Dragon though.

Feel like I've somehow been painting shields all day, but my Corvus Cabal marauders are all done
Really pleased with how they turned out and they were really fun to paint. I'm booked in to play my first ever game of AoS on monday as well so we shall see how they do! Not gonna pledge to challenge myself to another unit over Christmas but will be slowly working on a unit of marauder horsemen which should arrive in the next couple of days. Looking forward to some feathery conversions on those.
Full army so far...
These look awesome 👏

I have a rules Q about Radukar the Beast’s command ability. Interested to know what others think. I’ve tried scouring the core rules and FAQs but can’t find anything that clarifies this (unless I’m just being blind).
So he uses the ability on himself at the start of the combat phase. The sentence I’m not clear on is this: “Add one to the attacks characteristic of melee weapons used by friendly Soulblight Gravelords units within 18” until the end of that phase”.
I can see this being interpreted in 2 ways; 1) the bonus attack is instantly applied to all units within range as soon as the ability is used. They then all gain the extra attack until the end of the phase, regardless of whether Radukar is subsequently removed from play in that phase.
2) The affect applies to Radukar and is lost when he is removed, so units that have not yet attacked in that phase before he is removed won’t benefit.
Obviously 2 is better, so I’m hoping that’s how it’s supposed to work, but I’d love some clarification. It could be a frequent issue in messy combats with lots of alternating activations.
what do you guys think? If I’m missing a general FAQ about these kinds of aura abilities somewhere, I’d be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Hi there. Here’s my tester model for my next unit. Please let me know what you think.
Such great models, but you need microscopic hands and an engineering degree to put these b****ds together!

Hi, I'm new here and I dont know how to find the photos on your plog🥴 could you please copy the url or explain how can I find that?😂 I'd love to see that skin tone, I haven found something like that and I think it would look a lot better than pale purple skin.
I love these darker schemes!!
I found Kaaras's slaanesh plog. Here it is:

Hi together,
i have a few questions regarding Tzeentch.
1) Changehost - Is it possible to run a changehost with Kairos ? In the warscroll he has the keyword "Lord of Change"
2)Aura of Mutability, Coruscating Flames and Locus of Change - are these Auras also valid for the hero itself or only for units arround them??
Thanks in advance.
1) A general rule is that if any rule or ability applies to any units with a specific keyword, the keyword will be written in ALLCAPS. Otherwise it only applies to a specific warscroll with that name.
2) Yes. Units always count as being “within range” of themselves for any rules that use that wording.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this blog. Excellent work! I love your conversions and bold colour choices. I think the orange tones with the dark colours on the auralan wardens works particularly well. Each unit seems to have its own colour palatte which is quite contrast-y but works really well.

Beautiful work, love the base and the shield!
Thanks very much!
I started work on some Chaos Warriors. Just finished the test model for the scheme. For their armour, I went for a similar dark green to the marble effect I did on the Fane, but once I’d finished I found the overall look too dark and the main points of contrast (the gold accents) drew the eye to weird parts of the model. I’m not sure why because I think black armoured chaos warriors usually look pretty awesome, but for some reason it didn’t quite look right, so I decided to try a stark white helmet to attract attention more to the face area.
Here’s the test model. Please let me know what you think.

What is your recipe, if I may ask?
Thank you very much! Here’s the recipe:
Chaos Black undercoat
Sponge on Incubi Darkness (I used a bit of the black sponge that comes with the citadel carry cases, but I guess any sponge will do). Make sure you dab most of the paint off on a tissue first and build it up in successive layers, almost like dry brushing (dry-sponging?).
Mix 50/50 Incubi Darkness and Ulthuan Grey, and sponge it on in the same way, but more lightly.
Mix 30/70 Incubi Darkness and Ulthuan Grey, and do it again even more lightly.
Mix 20/80 Incubi Darkness and Ulthuan Grey and paint on thin random veins with a small brush - as thin as you can.
Cover with gloss varnish.

It’s been slow progress lately but I’ve finally managed to get my Fane done. I’m quite pleased with the green marble effect.

Great work! May I ask what colour that skin tone is?
Thanks very much!
Here’s the recipe for the skin:
(this is over a chaos black spray undercoat)
- Dryad Bark all over
- Druchii Violet Wash all over
- Dryad Bark again all over, except the recesses
- Mix Gorthor Brown and Dryad Bark (30:70 ratio), and apply over muscles on raised areas.
- Mix Gorthor Brown and Dryad Bark (50:50), again apply to raised areas but only on the very tops of the muscles and the most prominent areas (e.g knees, shoulders, tops of heads), leaving some of the previous mix showing. Think about where the light would hit if shining from above - e.g if a daemonette has a bent leg with a calf muscle facing towards the sky, use this mix on the calf muscle.
- Apply a final thin line highlight of Gorthor Brown around the very edges (e.g brow-line, along the bridge of the nose, ankle bones etc.).
- if the contrast is too high, blend it out with a final glaze of 50:50 Druchii Violet and Lahmian Medium.
- Use a final spot-highlight of Cadian Fleshtone very sparingly on any really sharp or prominant edges, or any nipples.
For the characters I probably included a couple more stages with different ratios of Gorthor Brown and Dryad Bark in the middle. Just play it by ear.
Here’s a close-up so you can see how much of each highlight layer I’ve used:

I rly love your colors scheme but on a more "chaotic style" base would be perfect on my opinion, purple-blue light colored
Thanks. I’m eventually gonna add something extra to the bases but I’m not sure what yet. I’m looking into getting some pink/purple resin amethyst crystals maybe...

Looks so good, how you do skin just black with some grey for highlights ? Love the skin being dark. She wants teal and dark skin like yours with pink hair. And silver armour. Newer at painting both of us just take time and watch tutorials.
