  1. Instead of picking up a new army my resolution is to actually finish one!

    I don’t think I’ve ever actually finished a whole army, I’ve got plenty at 2K and my complete bonereapers are closer to 5K but I always have a load of unfinished models for a faction before the next new shiny wins... So 2021 will be the year that I’m actually going to finish one, or hopefully two with my Bonereapers and Daughters. 
     

    Remaining Bonereapers

    - 6 Stalkers, just a few highlights to add

    - Soulreaper

    - Vokmortion

    - 3 Morghast

    -Converted female Liege Kavalos

    Remaining DoK

    - Blade Coven, just the metallics

    - 20 Witches

    - 2 Cauldrons

    - 5 Khinerai

    - 10 Blood Sisters

    - Shadow Queen

    Sureoy that’s all achievable in a year... I would say bonus points for finishing it all before buying any new models but we all know that isn’t gonna happen!!

  2. Still no good update from me :(

    Although the progress that everyone’s making is so awesome :D 

    hopefully I should start to have a bit more time to get in with hobby coming up, only issue is that I’m having to give up my hobby space for more home office space, damn you Covid!

    Trying to sort out some kind of portable hobby station for the time being, and then a longer term plan of setting something up in the attic (it’s properly insulated and floored!). Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome

  3. @Kamose There’s a fair bit of going back and forth but this is the general idea and steps:

    1. Zenithal prime, diluted black wash and then a white dry brush over the top. 
    2. Airbrush glaze of naggaroth night over the whole membrane.

    3. Airbrush glaze of blood angels red over the lightest areas to build up some of the more pinky colour.

    4. Layer of naggaroth night into the V of the wings which was then feathered out. I had to repeat this a couple of times to build up the deep purple in the recesses as the paint should be really thin.

    5. Another couple of glazes of blood angels red in the middle of the membrane, gradually getting more focussed on the middle.

    6. Wash of Druchii violet into the edges to darken down even more.

    7. Two glazed of Druchii violet over the whole membrane to bring everything back together.

    8. Lastly pick out the veins with flayed one flesh

    When glazing I was using 1 part paint to 4 parts medium.

    Tldr; zenithal and sketch under shading then overlapping glazes

    For the witches it’s pretty much loincloth or hair. 🤔

    snakes are easier. With the sisters you might use it one masks?

    Good ideas, especially the hair, I managed to find some cool pictures of purple fading into pink so will give that a go.

    Sisters  definitely seem the hardest but since I’m focussing on snakes mainly I was just going to do a single block of 30 witches and ignore the sisters for now

    Currently making great progress on a stonehorn in the faint hope I can Git'erdun before june. 
    See, it's already motivating me ;)

    Good luck! 
    This is going to turn out to be better motivation than anything else to get my bonereapers finished too! So there’s something to that.

    Back on topic, I’m going to redo the zenithal primer on my daughters after trying a few things that I didn’t like. 

    And my green stuff world roller arrived so started on a couple of bases too.

    Anyone on here got some background thoughts for their new warbands?

    Previously I have pretty much always followed a faction scheme, I know boring right? But recently with my current (they're nearly done...) bonereapers army I branched out a little bit and tried to create a new scheme and really pushed the basing. That said I never really thought of how that fit into the narrative, and have only just started trying to pigeonhole it into something.

    I really enjoyed pushing the bases with that army so am looking to do again with the Daughter's. I was thinking of doing some kind of ancient Khainite temple, crumbling away and overrun with Melusai who still see themselves as there former incarnations before they were tainted by Slaanesh.

    I did have a cool display board idea of a giant one-way mirror a wall in the middle with one side being the meulsai in a ruined templae and the other witch aelves in a plush sparkling one to show off the delusion.

    Still need to think of a colour scheme though. One idea was lots of different scale patterns for the snakes, say each 5 will have different markings.

    That's about as far as I've got at the moment, if anyone has any great ideas let me know 🙂

    They're my favourite tzeentch models by far! The only reason I chose them really. Going to try to push the quality on these- nice to not have to paint 100 models for a 2k force, as I've done for FEC, Nurgle and Cities!

    What sort of scheme are you going for? One of the cults or something left field?

    There’s something about really pushing the quality on an elite army that just can’t be matched by hordes. I suppose it’s probably seeing a bit of progress even if you’ve just spent hours on one tiny detail.

    Tzaangor Shaman
    Magister on Disc of Tzeentch
    3x Skyfires
    3x Enlightened 
    10x Kairic Acolytes
    10x Kairic Acolytes
    10x Tzaangors.

    If any of you are in London or can make it down to London, it would be cool to have a game at Bad Moon Cafe with our new armies!

    I really like the Arcanite Tzeentch models, got a bare bones 2k army of them already. Enjoy painting all that gold trim though!

    I’m up in Scotland so not a million miles away from London, so who knows, there might be a chance of a game or two eventually!

  9. So I’m going to start with what’s already built and primed for June.

    Medusa

    5x Blood Sisters

    5x Khinerai Heartrenders

    As you’ll see there’s plenty more in the box...

    Ive not decided how to build most of them yet, but the idea was to build towards a Temple Nest plus a bit on the side.
