Started my Zenith Mage today, here is the progress so far!
Turning my Zenith Mage into a Lunar mage, I'm going for a cool Blue-Moon color scheme, so far it's going well.
Slowly blending colors and building up a rich color.
Also my High Warden is coming along nicely, it's Sun/Volcanic theme definitely coming along. Finished Warden for comparison
C&C welcome!

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well!
Now that my big kitbash project is over, I have decided to get back to my Wardens until my attention span dictates I change projects, again. However, until then I am aiming to finish my unit of 10, starting with the High Warden.
This is as of last night my current progress on the High Warden. Basic same color scheme with a few differences such as Lunarmetal instead of Sunmetal for her sword, Plumes being slightly different color, and of course her back banners which have colors representing the Sun & Moon sides of Hysh. I have also made her skin tone a more moon-tone, which you can faintly see.
As for finished projects... I finished my Hathorian Living Mountain Shrine & Lumineth Spirit of the Mountain Stand-in! The Ovibos (the animal itself) came out so well, the fur work looks beautiful painted. I am immensely excited & proud of the Jade armor work, first time doing jade so extensively. I also love the two different species of trees that grow from Mountain’s Spirit & Shrine, I call the two on top Cherry Blossom Birch; Birch is my favorite tree so i try to work it in lol
I have yet to work as deeply on my Ilithian homebrew as my Hathorian homebrew, but its coming along
also sharing the warscroll for the Living Mountain Shrine that id love some thoughts on!
C&C on anything is welcome!

Living Mountain Shrine
#Homebrew:"Across the Mountains and Highlands of Ilithia, the silence and still is disrupted with the sound of thunder, though no clouds hang the air. As the Slaaneshi ranks formed into rank and file, they began to march towards the Ilithian and Hathorian line when a great form became visible in the distance. Soon the head became clearer, large curled tusks reached out past its maw and a large horn stretched towards Hysh's light, even still it had large fangs that showed when it would give out a bellow. Not only was the size of the creature worrisome, but so was the magnificent shrine on its back that it carried with no effort, a shrine of a Living Mountain.
As the battle began, battlelines crashed into each other, it was not long before the behemoth joined into the killing field. Under hooves bodies broke, unlucky seeker mounts bit in half, slaangors skewered on its tusks, the monster was a living avalanche of destruction. What was already a blood bath turned bloodier still, the living spirit of the shrine began to throw boulders afar and causing rockslides to fall upon calvary and infantry charges alike. Each time a castle's worth of boulders would crash down, new rock formations from the shrine would materialize from the spirit as a new assault was launched unrelentingly."Placed upon the back of a mighty Ovibos, a Living Mountain Shrine is a powerful weapon of war within a Hathorian Fold that brings the power of a mountain spirit to the battlefield. Each mountain shrine is built specifically for a revered mountain spirit and the Ovibos that will bear it during an ancient communion ritual between Realm Callers and the Mountain Spirit itself
The shrine is built within the core of the mountain, just under its heart, by a special sect of Hathorian Realm Callers named Mountain Callers. The High Mountain Caller of the Fold will lead a ritual called the Osadus Maest, or Communion of the Mountain through throat singing of ancient hymns of the mountain. Their hymns bringing adoration to the mountain, they aim to bond their spirit with that of the mountains in hopes of gaining its aid in their current cause. If the mountain is pleased it will, in its way, return its own call to the Mountain Callers as a sign of respect and its acceptance of the bond being made.
The communion successful the spirit will begin to aid in the building of the shrine as the passages within the mountain reverberate with the songs of the Callers. Gems, stone, precious metals, all that is needed to build the shrine is provided by the mountain. Circled around an ancient rock slab, the hymns of the callers begin to shape and join together the different materials, soon the shrine taking shape. As the end of the ritual nears, a giant Ovibos is brought into the mountain and placed on the ancient slab. Slowly the shrine is lowered onto the back of the behemoth, the mountain’s strength seeping from the shrine into the fur of the creature, hardening it like a stone.
The final act of the Osadus Maest begins with a final hymn, all of the Mountain Callers sing their loudest as the mountain spirit lowers its very heart into the center of the shrine, a giant stone of pure realm stone. Around the heart of the mountain, a miniature mountain range rises from the shrine, trees of Hyshian light grow from the stone and mountains alike. At the end of the communion ritual the High Mountain Caller will climb onto the shrine, and with the blessing of the mountain inscribe ancient symbols of protection upon the mountain’s heart; safeguarding it from foul magics.
In battle the Ovibos and Living Mountain Shrine are a destructive force of nature, crashing through battlelines, breaking down great walls; always at the front of the battle. The mountain spirit always active, as seen by the constant shifting of the shrines mountain range, causes calamity upon the enemies of the Hathorians and Hysh. Large boulders the size of inns, landslides that could cover a Free City, the wrath of the Mountain Spirit is absolute. If one is not crushed by the spirit upon the shrine, they are often gored or trampled by the behemoth that bears the shrine into battle. The Ovibos’s large horn and tusks pierce through monsters hide, its maw full of sharp teeth biting enemy calvary in half as they get too close, the fate of being in the path of such a creature in battle is only for the fool hearty. To face the might of the mountain is to face the unshakable.

I am super excited to share with everyone my finished kitbash for my homebrew faction in Hysh & my Stand-in for my #lumineth Spirit of the Mountain! I have also included the Warscroll for the kitbash that can be used with my homebrew faction
At the moment priced at 280/300 points
A lot of work went into this kitbash, including a few different kits and of course a lot of greenstuff work. This is also the first model i've done with just extensive jade work done, and I think it came out stunningly! I'm really pleased with the fur also, some sections could maybe be a little better, it it really gives that highland/mountain feel of a creature that would live in such an environment.
Any C&C is welcome!

Hey everyone! Hope you are doing well, and I hope your hobby is bringing you joy
Been working on my kitbash for my homebrew race the Hathorians (also serving as a Stand-in Spirit of the Mountain for my Lumineth) a bit and wanted to share.
Since my last post a lot has been done: The Mountain’s have a lot more color now, fading from a darl blue-grey up to a more neutral grey at the top. The trees have been given life, offering two different species, one with a green canopy while the other is my birch cherry blossom recipe, and I have finished up most of the jade armor pieces.
Most recently however I have been working on the large central stone that sits on the Living Mountain Shrine. Giving it a dark stone grey with subtle shades of The Fang (Citadel paint), it is supposed to represent the heart of the mountain. The runes have been the hardest part, primarily because I don't know which color between green and blue I like more, haha. In the end I'll be changing the green runes to blue, but the green just looks so good in person that its hard to redo lol but in the end i think it will be for the good of the model.
All in all I am SUPER pleased with how this project is coming out
C&C welcome
Feel free to check out my IG also, lots of cool projects there that are jot on this forum since they were done way way before

Been working on the Ovibos and Living Mountain Shrine! Im close to having the fur color down, and Ive begun adding in the jade armor. The mountain and large stone itself I'm still unsure od, but I am considering my Marbled Purple Quartz recipe or a similar recipe I'm calling my Sunstone Recipe.
All in all she is coming together pretty well I think! I was originally going with a slate-blue color scheme, but I think this with the fur color is better.
C&C appreciated!

Minus a few touch ups my homebrew behemoth of Hysh and also Stand-in Spirit of the Mountain is ready for priming 😊
The fur came out really well I think!

Aha, didn’t realise you had a log on here (I showed you my Rhinox build using similar parts 👍😬) awesome stuff man. The Bastilodon head looks great on the Sphinx. Real Lion Guardian/chinese dragon aesthetic taking place there.
Ha, yep! I have one on Lustria Online as well. I try to keep them updated equally, but the one on LO is generally updated more consistently.
Thanks 😊 I wanted Celennar to he a Feathered dragon, I can definitely see the Chinese/Guardian dragon vibe
Loved your take btw!

Across the Mountains and Highlands of Ilithia the silence and still is disrupted with the sound of thunder, though no clouds hang the air. As the Slaaneshi ranks formed into rank and file, they began to march towards the aelven and hathorian line when a great form became visible in the distance. Soon the head became more clear, large curled tusks reached out past its maw and a large horn stretched towards Hysh's light, even still it had large fangs that showed when it would give out a bellow. Not only was the size of the creature worrisome, but so was the magnificent shrine on its back that it carried with no effort, a shrine of a Living Mountain.
As the battle began, battlelines crashing into each other, it was not long before the behemoth joined into the killing field. Under hooves bodies broke, seekers ripped in half, slaangors skewered on its tusks, the monster was a living avalanche of destruction. What was already a blood bath turned bloodier still, the living spirit of the shrine began to throw boulders afar and causing rockslides to fall upon calvary and infantry charges alike. Each time a castle's worth of boulders would crash down, new rock from the shrine would materialize from the spirit as a new assault was launched unrelentingly.
This is the first true behemoth for the Hathorians, the Thunderhoof and it is equipped with not only its natural size and weaponry but also a mighty Living Mountain Shrine.
The Living Mountain Shrine is a sacred shrine built to honor a mountain spirit that a Hathorian Fold has communed with, but also is how the Hathorians bring the mountain spirits to war with them, though in a more natural form than the Lumineth mountain war forms. From atop their shrine, the mountain spirit constantly shifts the size and shape of the mountain itself as rockslides, mudslides, and other powers of the mountain are unleashed. Reports of giant hands made of stone are said to even through house-sized boulders into enemy lines. The giant sacred stone in the middle of the shrine is pure crude aetherquartz from the center of the mountain, used to heal allies and obliterate foes, the sacred stone is a devastating weapon attached to an already devastating Thunderhoof.
Below is the pre-greenstuff build of the Thunderhoof with Living Mountain Shrine, though it is still missing a tail as I decide which to give it. Also included a pure Hathorian photo to show what is built so far. I have also made a warscroll for it, at the moment I am pricing it at 280 points as I feel it is somewhere between the price of an Engine of the Gods and a Spirit of the Mountain.
Let me know what you think!

@Sinarai, doyou mean the rim of the base? That’s just white undercoat atm, I need to paint it dark brown haha. I haven’t finished the base yet, still need to add texture and grass and such too.
@Aloth_Corfiser, that’s very true, and thanks. I’ll do the base and see how it looks then. Simple grass bases are honestly a good choice. I’m doing something similar on my army, leaving some dirt showing, and adding flowers, though I’m still unsure about the flowers haha. They look good on the Dawnrider’s base though so I reckon I’ll go through with it.
Nah, right next to thr lower chainmail

Not sure if its the base or not, but there definitely looks to be just a pure white patch? Almost kinda what can happen if plastic glue seeped and the paint has issue sticking? Maybe its the lighting?

I have been in a bit of a building kick, this time I am focusing on a Hathorian kitbash, the Thunderhoof!
So, this is the mock up, the head is blue tac'd on as I may still add more to it, such as another horn towards the nose. I am also still debating if I am going to add a rider or if this be a stand alone monster, like the Dread Saurian. If I do add a rider, I will likely put them on the base next to the Thunderhoof.
Once finished I'll be adding it a warscroll, and some homebrew for it.
Would love thoughts!

Well, my original idea for Celennar and Teclis is a no go. I was originally planning to use a Troglodon head, however Celennar is a lot smaller than I anticipated, and the Troglodon head far too big. However, we solider on, and a solution was found: A Bastiladon head.
I think it looks great and fairly natural, though a good amount of greenstuff is definitely needed. I really hate, loathe the Mask of Celennar, so I wanted something different... and here it is.
Would love thoughts!
Hope all is well!

Building of support beams have begun
I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but just haven't. Given the weight of these platforms they would most certainly need extra supprt beams. I am also planning on adding icons and other bits to these beams to give some extra flair/pop.
I think a Thunder Lizard, if ever actually harnessed in lore, would be one of the most heavily decorated monsters in a Seraphon cohort, the Dread being on par or the closest. I want to represent that, but also not going to far with it. Many icons would no doubt dot the armor and structures built upon it.
Also wanted to show the now three Skystreak bows instead of the original 2 that were planned. Now Tlanextic will have 2 facing forward and 1 in the back! Very exciting for sure
I also love how small the Skink Priest is lol just imagining her marching into battle would be awe inspiring and terrifying at the same time.
More updates coming on her and other projects

I am hoping the new releases will help Ilithia a bit, definitely my favorite, I think the wind temple will help their movement a bit

I have begun slowly working on my Thunder Lizard project again for my Seraphon. I started this project (for those that don't know) a month after I started the hobby, so around 18ish months ago. I have been building her piece by piece, and so far she is coming along nicely. A combination of a tamiya brachiosarus, seraphon bits (14+ carno crests, and need more!), a beautifully designed howdah by a friend of mine, and inspiration from Dinotopia.. its been a blast of a project, and I look forward to continuing on.
Named Tlanextic, which means 'Light of Dawn', she is a symbol of hope and strength to my Temple Host. I started working on her chest armor and the skink throne, going a blue-gold look with Retribution Armor with a Space Wolves grey contrast so far.
Wanted to show a video of her, which I haven't ever done. To me its such a cool project since it spans my whole hobby career, and you can see different growth points in the painting. Definitely has its imperfections, but im very proud of the work thus far. She could stand in as a Dread Saurian for causual games, but I also have custom rules
Stay tuned, more updates coming as I finish up my Engine of the Gods.

Loving that KoS Haset conversion. Better that the sum of its parts 🤘Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Worked really hard on her for sure, definitely need to return to her homebrew a bit at some point and flesh it out more
-
I must have forgotten to share these when I finished, but here are the finished models of both Haset and her Warchief
Haset came out super well, her green armor matched with the pinks and birch wood makes her feel like a walking cherry blossom tree in some ways. I'm absolutely in love with her base also, although simple it does feel like she's walking through some ruins.As for her warchief, I am blown away by the greenstuff and how it turned out, I have had some people ask if i bought it like that, and i still sometimes struggle to believe I did it lol but his fur turned out awesome and just the whole model and how it came together. He is also the first model i've ever used cork for on the base, which turned out gorgeous!
