Nice progress guys! @Eththebeef Cool conversions, Ethan - what're those gorgers based on? Skin-wolves and something else? Maneaters look good but the tank-treads could maybe do with something to make them less 40k? @ageofpaddsmar Wahay, I think that's the first fully painted unit? @Davido Welcome aboard Mr O, looking forward to seeing what you do with the birds. I'm guessing teh undercoated one was from a Kickstarter? Haven't painted a Lord of Change myself yet, but that Ogroid dude is a joy to paint. @Reuben Nice work, mate, it's coming together! That converted admiral looks awesome

That's awesome JR, are they all from that skulls kit?! And that hood makes him look a lot more sinister. Yeah, haven't got a great spot to take pics with any decent light, but I'll have another shot during the day tomorrow. I'm thinking this chap may be good for the dude on the shrine, but that totem is now where the chopping block was - so if I put the block back on it might look a tad crowded on there.

First bit of actual progress from me and the bitzbox rehab is going well: 9 Marauders and 4 Marauder Horsemen built, and the start of my warshrine conversion put together. Had to stop there for now until I can re-stock on bases. I'm not sure yet who to have riding on the shrine. I've got a Gaunt Summoner model that would fit, but that would permanently tie it to Tzeentch and I quite fancy trying it without a mark. The other option is to pop a generic chaos or barbarian hero on it, which might look alright.

@fredster4050 Uh, ain't nothing there Fred. Think there's a pic missing there. Unless emptiness arrived for you? @Dawn hunter Didn't realise you'd made such a detailed backstory for your stormcast, JR - that's pretty dark! Have you got a way to reflect that side of them either on the models or the bases? That's awesome, Mark - I'm a fan of anything with even a whiff of Arthurian legend about it! And that sounds like a great twist on the traditional Merlin: jealous and bitter rather than the wise old adviser.

Not strictly part of the project but had to post this. First game against the new undead, was winning on VPs throughout but was just getting smashed in combat and on magic. Round 5 came around and i was up 9VPs to 2, with just the Warqueen left standing. If she survives, chaos is triumphant. If she dies, Death reigns supreme. Unfortunately, her success drew the ire of the grand necromancer himself - the god of death charging halfway across the battlefield to kill her personally. Cracking game and surprisingly close given how the casualties looked. I really like the feel of the new Death armies, they really capture that sense of hopelessness that comes from fighting a seemingly endless foe. That said, if you're able to kill the leaders or force them to fight away from their source of fresh corpses, they will eventually crumble.

Oh yeah, I forgot they teased them aaaages ago! I'll go for plastic Sisters in a plastic thunderhawk, with Squats and Fishmen!

What about a boxed Titanicus game? I remember bits were previewed from FW a little while ago, but seems like its gone quiet since then.

Great start guys! @Theslowcentury Tim, these were the stories I mentioned the other day, the first one has the wager between Rotigus and Horticulus and the second one has the Rainfather's 1st go at wading into Shyish: https://malignportents.com/story/story-three/ https://malignportents.com/story/deluge-of-life/ @fredster4050 Have you picked up the KO book yet? Any idea what colours/fleet you're going for - can't remember the specific term for the KO chapters... @Reuben Awesome idea with the anchor, Reuben. Is that just jewelry chain you've used? What's the plan with the basing? @MidgardMarauder93 Yes Olly! Can't wait to see the classic vamps painted up!Are you using the rest of the Shadespire skellies, or did you just pick the ones you most like the look of to pad out a normal unit? Not sure if you've been following the MP stories, but there was a great little one about vampire covens: https://malignportents.com/story/the-crimson-connoisseur/ @ageofpaddsmar Have you had a chance to look through the story bits of the DoK book yet, Padds? Just seen a few snippets here and there but there seems to be some really cool ideas for armies in there if you're looking for inspiration. Any thoughts on whether you're going to include Morathi or not?

Hey everyone, I'm Scott! I'm gonna be using this "Tale of..." to add to my existing Tzeentch-dedicated chaos army. It started off as a Warriors of Chaos army when I started at the beginning of 8th edition but I've gradually been tinkering and updating bits of it over the years. In the process of trying to switch it up and update it I've ended up with a few boxes of beaten up plastic - leftovers from conversion attempts, abandoned projects, that kind of thing. So I'm going to be starting off by trying to salvage what I can, whilst adding a few new toys here and there. With the release of the Darkoath Warqueen, I really wanted to add some marauder bodyguards for her, and that's now turned into doing an entire army for her! She'll be leading the Frost Axe Clan - denizens of the frozen tundra of Ghur that have been pulled into the wake of Warqueen Lissandra's crusade into Shyish. First up is a warshrine and some Marauders that have suffered several paint scheme and equipment changes. Once these are sorted, I'll be adding some of the female barbarians from shieldwolf.

The Phoenix has risen! Great to see you back on the forums, Chris. I really like the colour pallet, looks really good on minis that are usually pretty brightly coloured and busy. Actually lends itself quite well to their background as cold, relentless and unshakable killers. The fire on the banner is a nice touch. As you said, the flames turned out well, and that bit of extra colour isn't too jarring. What did you use for the snow on the bases? The stuff I've been using has been turning out ****** recently - going yellow after a few day!

Loving the conversions, where did the heads for the reavers come from?

Its definitely Ad-mech, the bionic arm matches their style completely. So....maybe Dark Mechanicum?

I know them feels. Every time I play one I spend half the game looking at the warscroll wondering where all the damage is supposed to come from. Nowhere, apparently. Maybe just a hangover from Fantasy, but you'd expect a charging chariot to inflict some hurt, but instead they just bounce.
