So..... I assemble most all models. In the case of many, prime and base material is attached. *Space Marine Shame about 20% painted of what you see. At least 400 individual Marines need love. Hidden on the shelves is about 10k or of Necrons about 20% painted. Random stuff from my Gitz army, some Warcry, Adeptus Titanicus and even an AI model. Also some significant forge world shame included in the mix (Warlord, Reaver, Knight Acastus, Sokar Stormbird) Some partially built others still in the boxI added a pic of my painted Gitz to show I finger through some

What a great collection of memories. I too have been a long time in the hobby (1982ish) and only playing AoS since last winter I had an old,ll large Warhammer OG army I started in 2001 and only played with 3 times. When they announced gloomspite I decided to rebase my minis for AoS and build out my units. My son turned 11 and wanted to pick up a start collecting box of beastclaw raiders. So we dropped out first game last Xmas at 600pts or so. Fumbled through it but had a ton of fun. So we've built his painted army 1500 pts and he's working on his next 500 to get to 2000. It is a fabulous time to share painting and gaming with the kid (and my girls). We also play a lot of underworlds too which got me into painting my first AoS only figs in the first two seasons.

Here are pics of my completed warbands for the Nightvault and Shadespire Seasons.

Beard is Wildwood Belt and shoes gor grunta Pants blood angels Skin is darkoath thinned 1:1 with contrast medium Eyes are thinned volupos pink 1:1 contrast medium

Here you go. This is mostly playing with contrast. Pants, skin, beard and leathers. Metal, teeth and base are traditional. The beard got a slight layer highlight. All was over a zenithal if grey seer over black.

I played my first game with the hunt this morning. A bit of a glass hammer. A few good crit from armies with 3+ damage will wipe them out. Speed is great and the variety of affects at range (spells/weapons) were effective (2 shots, push, heal, incr strength). I picked up more glory than I planned vs. Spiteclaw. I agree, vs a tougher for it may be a challenge. Skaeth +1 damage on the javelin on the charge is solid after he inspires. Also shield slash.

Well, not a painted warband but 17 and my display board for Armies on Parade VID_119110508_082224_027.mp4

It is VMC brown violet with an agrax wash and highlight with karak stone air on just the super high areas and edges. Maybe a second highlight with the karak to reinforce some highlight you want to stand out. Pretty simple recipe all in all

A brief start onmy warband.

Finished my first Corvus Cabal today. Have the assembly line ready for tomorrow.

Just joined the community. Started playing AoS about a month ago with my son but collected green skins since about 2002. In addition I paint & play Warhammer Underworlds and am going to play some Warcry as well as I had a successful demo at GenCon last weekend. Instagram mrt_paints
