Welcome to my army building thread. I am new to this forum and only recently started with Age of Sigmar since I mostly painted and played LotR and WH40k before.
Age of Sigmar it is and because of its unlimited nature I decided to forge my own narrative for this army.
Located at the Sea of Bones in the Real of Ghur, lies the Free Port Elui. It is said to have been founded by Teclis himself during the Age of Myth, but few of its current inhabitants even know who that name refers to and fewer still believe in this origin myth. What is certain is that it has been razed several times throughout the ages by the roaming tribes and beasts of Ghur. Its glorious days are far gone and large parts of the city have been abandoned to be devoured by the stinging sands of the surrounding desert wasteland.
In fact, through shrinking population, climate change, relentless Orruk raids and chaotic corruption the mere existence of Port Elui has been on the line. That changed when shortly after Sigmar's sally from the gates of Azyr an Aelven temple has been established within a few miles of the city. Led by a mysterious woman, the warrior maids offered protection against the brutish dangers of Ghur, in exchange for nothing but the hunting rights in the surrounding lands and a portion of the marketplace where they proceeded to stage gladiatorial fights against each other and the vile beasts they captured on their hunting expeditions.
I am going to continue adding more information about the background as the painting process progresses. As you can guess it is going to be a Daughters of Khaine army, though I decided to pick some allies for them and embed them in the narrative.
Here are the Dark Riders of the city's Thieves Guild. We shall learn more about them later on.
That's all for now. Among other things this thread will hopefully serve as a motivation for me, as I am a very slow painter.
Let me know what you think so far and thank you in advance for any helpful criticism.
