    Just got my next delivery including the binders, really surprised to see this though, expected a halt on deliveries.

    That would be april's delivery? Too soon, isn't it? In Spain we are supposed to get the binders on the 5th delivery, so in may.

    Interesting - will update here when we get the next bundle (not for another few weeks).  It may be that they're trying to bring them back into the 4 issues per bundle (so your next one will be 9 ~ 12).  Who knows - the communication aspect of the subscription hasn't been great!  Interesting that you got tweezers as in my first bundle it was side snips, glue and a baby mold line remover (which is brilliant and lives on my keyring)

    That makes total sense, and in fact this morning I wrote Salvat asking how the delivery was going to be, and they just answered just that. From now on, we'll get 4 issues per package. And the tool, yup, definitely are side snips. I missed the name. I'm not profficient on english tool names apart from the usual ones 😄

  3. My package for march just arrived here in Spain. 3 issues, numbers 6, 7 and 8, bringing the Thorns of the briar queen, the Celestar ballista and some paints. Also they have sent the first special gift, consisting in tweezers, glue and mold line remover. 

    Strange, I expected 4 issues....

  4. This month i'll relax and procastinate a bit, but first things first, I must finish the 3 Myrmourn Banshees I left half finished in february. After that, I will paint Xandria Azurebolt from the Mortal Realms magazine collection, with extra effort and care. Every now and then I'll dedicate some time to a Treelord Ancient that was too much for my 9 year old kid and is unfinished (and a bit dirty painted, poor kid 😅). I'll probably combine that with a pack of 4 Glaivewraith Stalkers, wich i'm pretty sure I won't finish this month. Lastly I plan to build and prime a Mortis Engine. 

    Also I'll build and prime the next figures from the Mortal Realms collection, Thorns of the Briar Queen and some 8 stormcast something so my kid can play with them. 

    So to recap, that's finishing 3 unfinished minis, painting a mini with extra detail, advancing or hopefully finishing an unfinished behemoth, building and priming 15 minis and another behemoth... 😱

    Probably I'll leave the Glaivewraith Stalkers for april, that way I may finish the Treelord so my kid has it finished to play 🤣

    Just to say that I received my first bundle of 4 magazines this morning as have a few other people.  I have also heard that for people who signed up last year on the "test" run, if they didn't complete the new payment form have been sent the bundle along with a bill.

    Which issues? (just to compare the pace)

    Here in Spain we have received issues 1, 2, and 3 in january, 4 and 5 in february and is spected that, from now on, they come in packs of four, delivering on the middle of the month. That would mean issues 6 to 9 in march (15 minis and 3 paints)

    This month I'm going to be more ambitious, so I have already started. I've got 10 Chainrasps and 4 Myrmourn banshees already built and primed. I will try to paint and base all that, and also base the work from last two months, meaning a corpse cart, 5 hexwraiths and another 10 Chainrasps. That means painting 14 models and "finishing" a total of 30. Crossing fingers! 🤞

    I clearly underestimated the pain that are the details of the sculpted bases of the banshees (compared to "nothing" of the regular ones) so I've only completed one banshee, with the rest half done. But on the bright side, I changed how I do my bases (the sand part) and it's quicker with even better results, so I've based not only all chainrasps, the hexwraiths and the corpse cart, but also Arkham and 16 dryads I painted with my kid several months ago and lacked basing. So i've painted 11 minis and based a total of 43 (not counting the painted banshee). That's a win for me 😁

    Now, the photos. Current state of the chainrasps blob. 20 done out of the projected first step of 40:

    The based dryads

    And the detail on the bases of Arkhan and the corpse cart

    IMG-20200229-WA0003.jpg.4f6305dc987c7778c3142764c2615ce5.jpg

    so these are finished too

  8. I like your base and how it poses in the end on it. I did a similar project with Mannfred, after mounting Arkham on the Abyssal Terror, for a vampire lord on foot.

    IMG_20190902_134931.jpg.0e018d5a1ac85b4fc61ccf7c59c69968.jpg

    I plan to, at some point, buy a second Start Collecting to mount the vampire mortarchs (magnetized to be able to mount both) and will use Arkham as a wight king, doing what you did (or maybe finding him a proper mount 😊)

    Great work!! 🙌

  9. I managed to complete my plegde again, even tho with Xmas i've had less time 😅

    Finished the hexwraiths and painted a unit of 10 Chainrasps from the Mortal Realms collection. I managed to get a total of 8 issues from several shops (not more than 2 at a time, to not dry any, even on one that had around 30 in a box) so I have 70 more chainrasps to paint, for two blobs of 40.

    The Spanish site has a more comprehensive overview of what's on offer, and I must admit going premium on this is very tempting...

    I have subscribed to the premium offer. I've started painting last march, going death but not NH, so this fits me well. I'll be subscribed to the premium at least until the sylvaneth extras.

    The stormcast will remain there, for if my kid wants to paint (he's 9 and started painting elves and sylvaneth, but he has fancier hobby options for now so he's going very slow).

    Overall, you won't save any money. You could achieve similar armies by investing £32 a month in the hobby for the 2+ years it takes to get everything via a regular trade seller who offers a bit of discount.

    On fauxhammer the roughly analyzed the promo photo and they said the contrary, as long as you are interested in these 2 armies, and only counting minis, not even taking into account paints, brushes and all the other extras.

    Any chance you can translate to English?

    Premium means you pay 1,5€ more on each number after number 5 (so from 6 onwards) and you get it delivered at home (monthly, 4 numbers in one packet) instead on post office, and you also get the extras shown on the screenshot: FEC on month 7, Sylvaneth on month 11, and so on. For instance, you pay 6€/month for 5 months, meaning 30€, and you get the Archregent, 3 crypt horrors and 20 gouls. 4 more months at 6€ (24€) to get drycha, the revs and the wych (and 4 paints)...

    You can unsubscribe at any time (no problems here with Salvat) or change to normal subscription. I red somewhere that on Conquest the premium subscribers got offers for extra boxes for really low price, but cant remember....

  11. This year’s activity in the painting hobby is going to be guided by Mortal Realms collection, for which i have subscribed (including the premium subscription available here), so I have some days to finish off the hexwraiths I already started last month before I buy some number 1 kits (want 4 for a full unit of 40 chainrasps). Out of them I’d like to finish a first 10 chainrasp horde unit in addition to the hexwraiths.

    I wont be able to keep up with the collection, for sure, even focusing on the nighthaunt units. I’ll leave the Stormcasts for now 😓

  12. Right on time, just before the month ends (I have been painting this morning)

    I completed the promised corpse cart and 3/5 hexwraiths (horses not finished, but riders are). I started with those before doing also the black knight parts. These are the photos of the corpse cart (even one guiding the boys).

    IMG-20191231-WA0005.jpg.728a6469149d1f7b0962f7c4ddaee797.jpgIMG-20191231-WA0004.jpg.0b4a6eb28d1cb912d20bea1072be6285.jpgIMG-20191231-WA0007.jpg.72a9a144a8a6d27cac52b4b7a6d99b2c.jpg

    And these are the semi-completed hexwraiths. Also posing with the commander of my current black knights, so you can figure the end result (base and horse bones left)

    There's a Mortis Engine in the back.

    True. I thought the Mortis Engine was nighthaunt.

    Maybe they'll announce that all models with the Malignant keyword can be part of a Nighthaunt army. That would be amazing

    Probably. Otherwise, it would make no sense.

  14. Hi, I'm still new to this, with only 1070 points in AoS Death painted, but I find this thread funny and interesting. Apart from those 1070 points, I'm now almost halfway of a box of Dire Wolves, wich I plan to finish across october. I've got 6 and a half wolves to go. Pretty ambitious for a 42 yo noob dad with almost no time :)
