I guess the RUMOUR part of the Skeletang Rebox is that they are now under "The Revenant Legions" hmmmmm

Not a rumour per-se so don't lynch me, but Mr Skeletal has been reboxed for AoS:

I would guess at Shadespire Skaven

Hard to know what a Nurgle Battletome will change, but like the recent Khorne one it will most likely collect all the battalions, add a few more, update some points here and there, and most importantly add Nurgle artefacts and abilities, which is what they're missing so far.

2 more drops of duardin then... who knows? Probably 40k for a bit

It seems fairly likely, yep

Might be worth popping those in the Kharadron thread @Bjarni St. !

Those boils and pock marks are very Nurgle. I can see them tidying up Nurgle with a release or two and a Battletome

It's AoS so it will be him but even more so.

look positively nautiliean

Thanks guys! For the selective shading you've both suggested, I imagine it's best achieved by a wash - do you know the best way to stop the wash from having that "tide mark" it so often gets? I often struggle on horns with the gradiation, even following Master Duncan's tips ends up with if looking far more layered that gradual - the horns on the Chaos Lord seem to be total luck as they ended up looking great and I couldn't really identify any material difference in technique. As for high contrast shading, I think that's because so far I've done the typical base, wash, layer, edge without pushing to a further and final edge highlight, mainly because nurgling green is the top end of the greens and I usually use screaming skull for the last layer. I suppose mixing the two is going to be the way to achieve the best highlight?

Hullo folks. I am hopefully on the path to rounding up my slipshod Nurgle Army before I move onto the new Sky Dwarves, so I fancied collecting the various photos I'd taken into one place (everyone else has a plog!) as well as ask for some advice on where to go next. I only got back into the hobby at the start of 2017, after a 10 year leave of absence (although I didn't particularly paint much before) and so painting is pretty new to me. There are a lot of places to go for great advice, including GWs own videos. But I want my dwarves to look top notch, and I think that means levelling up my technique a little. So I want to know what the best advice you have is. I find that I have the most trouble with gradual blends or colour fades the most. I have recently invested in some Lahmian Medium, and also 2 Windsor and Newton 7 Series brushes for details (they really are excellent), and for my Dwarves I have kind of planned my palette and basing style in my head. So yeah, Criticism and Feedback on stuff would be very appreciated, as well as links to videos or blogs on technique and style. I think due to work and uni I have been a little impatient in some instances so I know that has led to some errors, but specific advice would be welcome (unless it links to that Next Level Painting guy. as good as his stuff can be his voice and demeanour just ruins me. On to the photos! This is the whole bunch, so far, shelved. I don't have close ups of the drones yet: My initial 3 heroes. Order of Completion was Lord of Plagues, Herald of Nurgle, Lord of Chaos My Blightkings, which I am proudest of, by far., but I am not too happy with some of the bruising. Chaos Sorcerer which was done recently as a reward for shifting a metric tonne of essays out of my way (this one appears to have been hit by some bad compression?) As per the other thread, this is my WIP Epidemus. I didn't actually buy this myself, it was a gift from some friends so It has taken a lot of psyching up to paint because the detail is intimidating and granular, which I find quite different from the regular GW plastic cast heavy contrast detail. (Apologies for messy thumbnail) I'll try and sort a lightbox or at least a proper white background for the things I haven't got proper pictures of: Warriors, Plaguebearers and Plague Drones. I think I have at least, with Nurgle, managed to attack a variety of different textures and techniques, some better than others, but would still be curious for advice! Thanks!

Isn't there a mention of grot airships in WD?

ｍａｔｈ ｈａｍｍｅｒ

Noooooooooooooo

Heads in the hands of that bloodletter look a bit... Aelvish

Aha, thanks, I couldn't quite make it out! It both makes it make more sense, and makes it a better weapon name. Can't beat the Charter though.

Favourite weapon names: Aetheric Fumigator, Backsweeper, and THE MAGNATE'S CHARTER

Stuff the Duardin, I want a GALVANIC MAGNAVENT (I know it is off topic but Shadow War looks like a great deal at £90)

Wouldn't it be great if the Aelves were released as a Yin/Yang faction, Light and Dark in the same battletome, and you could either get bonuses for harmony, or for going fully one side.

NO. DISLIKE. KHEZU IS THE WORST

Is that not what Battle for Vedros is?
