ANVILGARD ENDURES! the army is done. I’ll be back on this project when I’m making their display board. It’s been great fun making this army and I’m proud of it. I hope it’s provided some ideas and/or inspiration. Now I need a break from AoS.

The Phoenix Guard are done. Not my best work but I may add to their paintwork when I’m doing their display board for AoP2021.

Thanks for the comment. I’ve painted their leggings and shoes in more natural colours which should help. Only their outer clothes are now ‘phoenix’ish, and hopefully just a nice yellow at the bottom. I’ve nearly finished the unit and will post images soon. Thank you too! Once the Phoenix Guard are done, the army’s done. For now. Anvilgard will have to Endure without me for a while! (I’ll be over on the Bolter&Chainsword making my Snakebites) Hopefully I can do some army pics this weekend. And I’m sure I’ll add to the army in the future. Another Start Collecting Anvilgard would be perfect...and that new vampire with two swords would be a great black ark Fleetmaster...

I just have a unit of Phoenix Guard - made from a box of Bretonian men at arms I got years ago before they went out of production, with forge world Cawdor heads - to do and then the army is finished. For now. Here are some work in progress shots:

And the beast master:

And two Scourgerunner chariots! One is converted to be a beast master. I’ll have to get a third chariot in the future. Here’s the first:

Here’s all three together:

Here’s the third and final ‘demigryph knight’ Scourge privateer beast master: the standard bearer.

It seems I forgot to post the images of the completed Celestar Ballista and standard bearer:

Most definitely. Pirates, after all 😉 Next up: the unit champion and her croc’.

Merry Christmas! I hoped to get this army done by the end of the year but that doesn’t look likely. I still have two chariots and 16 counts-as Phoenix Guard to do...but should be able to finish them in the first months of 2021. I have completed by Scourge privateer beast masters and their magmacrocs. First is the musician:

I couldn’t decide whether to do the metal bits on the back of the magmacrocs as corroded copper or as iron so painted up one of each quickly... the iron contrasts better with their skin so I’ll go with that.

I’m still working on the two chariots but also a unit of three counts-as demigryph knights: three beast-master scourge privateers (made from Dark Elf Blood Bowl minis - very dynamic - with polearms from Scourgerunner chariots and shields from dreadspears) driving before them lava beasts (three Necromunda Sumpcrocs painted up HOT). Here’s some WIPs:

And I sprayed the beast-hide parts of crew for my two scourgerunner chariots last night. I’ll get a third ASAP. Christmas, perhaps. One will be modelled as a high beast master (champion chariot, basically) so gave that one a bigger banner (must add a top decoration, perhaps a severed hydra head); a hooded, bow-wielding driver; and a fancier, cloaked gunner to represent the boss-elf.

I’m now working on the second crew member for the ballista. Same body as his partner but I hope he looks sufficiently different. Basing will help. Ballista crews don’t have flags but I like flags so he’s got one.
