I think the owl is for bloodbowl. We already saw a bloodbowl freeman with a squirrel, so another Forrest critter makes sense. I’m hoping GW had something to put focus back to Lumineth for a moment when they finally get released. I’m afraid new40k will steal the spotlights te coming months and Lumineth will just get released, that would be a big anti-climax after the rediculous Amount of hype they build. Especially because the range already seems to be smaller than what was implied.

Yeah, I understand all this. I just hope they make an effort to do a little more than just release the models and that's it. Just one more good article (where they talk about more than just the rubble on the bases...) or even surprising everyone with a model we haven't see before.

in one of the studio previews they showed a treeman for blood bowl with a squirrel. maybe one of the other members of this teams has an owl hiding somewhere? I was thinking about the Lumineth release and I really hope GW has a trick up their sleeve to create a tiny bit of hype when releasing them. with the release of new 40K around the corner and hype building for the giants, the Lumineth have faded a bit to the background.

The fang would be the way to go I think. It is a grey with a nice blue-ish tone. I also use stormervermin fur for my black leather. But that is more of a muted grey with a brownish undertone.

Vampire would be my guess too. Whatever it is, it looks really cool.

Like a lot of you, I've decided to thin out my backlog because I've got some more time on my hands now that I have to work at home (no more commuting). When the End times happened I bought some of the models I always liked but never owned. I always loved the wood elf hero with great weapon and the wood elf spell singer. A few years later I've finally put some paint on them. not the best pictures though😑

@Warmill those look really nice. What program do you use?

I think it says this is his first novel for black library, but he did a short story before?

If they don't use anything we haven't seen, then chances are there really isn't anything new in the blurry pictures? There could still be other pictures of the Lumineth though.

Isn’t this just the next psychic awakening book with Necrons?

Te snippets of lore we’d got this last few days suggest the mountain discipline makes up the bulk of te fighters. I wish this would have been mentioned before, instead of the emphasis on the 4 elemental disciplines. The way it was handled suggests 4 different kinds of warriors. With the new lore it makes more sense we get only te mountain troops and basic troops. allthough I think we’ll see the other disciplines in later releases.

Very clean and smooth paintjobs👏🏻. The base might deserve some more attention.

I love Slaangors, you can find my take on them in my plog. Your work is fantastic! Especially the snake centigors. The green stuff work is good and the paintjob really nice.

@Ben @RuneBrush Any idea on a new challenge? got a lot more hobby times these day due to (partial) lockdown...

You can follow him on Instagram, he goes by sonofbehemat.

We already have evil heavy armored knights, chaos warriors. If I'm not mistaken Space marines were inspired by the succes of chaos warriors, and the succes of space marines probably inspired the creation of stormcasts. I think making traitor stormcast would be very unnecessary. It's also unlikely lore wise.

I was wondering if the release pattern maybe could be more like the sisters of battle. The amount of hype building is almost similar and the SoB started out with a limited edition box and then it took a long time for different kits to be released. I think they still aren’t complete. They still miss the seraphim (flying sisters) I think? So maybe Lumineth were meant to start releasing in April and then the rest would have been spread out? to be honest I don’t keep track of the 40k releases closely, but I thought the first sisters box hit in December 2019 and the last kit would have been released last month if I’m not mistaken?

I think a lot of you have voiced what I've been thinking about the uncertainty about the new range a lot more eloquently than I can in English, so I won't go further into it. While waiting for any models being released I thought it would be fun to tinker around in Blender (3d) program to see if I could create some Lumineth scenery. Here is a screenshot of what I've been working on. I'm currently in the process of trying to prep the file for 3D printing, which is always harder than I expect. But if it works I might make this available for others if it doesn't turn out too expensive. Let me know what you think.

I've thought about this for a bit. I think the problem you have is about contrast. If you side a light color for the bone (ivory) and put red/yellow in the recesses it won't look as good because you don't have enough contrast to make the 'flames' pop. Ik think you'll need to go from flames to black/dark brown and then paint the ivory bone color, but leave some dark between the ivory and the flames. to enhance the flaming effect mix in some orange with the dark color around the flames to make it look like the fire is casting light on it surroundings. for subtle differences in color I would suggest glazing, using a small brush and really thinned down paint to get subtle different hues for the flames. The ivory color itself I would use a brown color like ballon brown and then work unto ushabti bone with a further highlight of ushabti bone mixed with white. I think you'll want something like I did on the skull on this banner?

If this is the complete range I would really appreciate it if they just plain tell us. I’m fine if it is. We’ll probably see the other subcultures and Tyrion in the future, just like new stormcast chambers. I’ve got lots of models lying around before I can justify buying into Lumineth so I can wait.

The shadow elves for warcry look awesome. Combined with the shadespire warband the DoK are having a good time. Excited about non-chaos warbands for warcry. kinda disappointing to see just one Lumineth model, which we already kinda saw before... I find it a bit frustrating to see another new army before we’ve seen the entire Lumineth range.

So while we are waiting for some solid new rumors, why not go over to the painting and modeling section and check out all those Wonderfull blogs that are now thriving because a lot of people are spending so much time at home And when you go down there, why not not for the TGA painting challenge?

This article is way better than the last Lowdowns... a lot to love in the fluff for Hysh. The ‘magical cloning’ but sounds fun. what I also like is there are 10 paradises, just like Ulthuan had 10 kingdoms. And one of them is matriarchal, which somehow reminds me of Avelorn. The color scheme in the artwork is also really cool.

Are we discussing Teclis again? I don't often buy a centerpiece, I really love working on basic troops. The artworks of Teclis are so amazing, I can't help but feel disappointed by the model. If the pose would have been similar to the artwork he would have been amazing. Oh well. Guess I'll just spend my money on the models I do really love. Color schem wise I'm thinking about lots of cool grey tones and subtle blues with NMM armor, maybe introduce a bit of color in the metal like GW did with the Cypher lords. So a subtle glaze of purple or green on some parts of the metal. But nothing to much because I'm afraid they'll look like cheap toys. The studio photography with this army has reached new heights. Cool catch on the different hammerheads.

Just looking at the artwork of the veiled lady again and I think het chalice contains dull eatherquartz. She also looks really sad. Could it be she is releasing build up emotions from the realmstone? She could be a very compelling and tragic hero. also that might mean she is not air or river subculture.
