    Rules, fluff and warscroll for the faction will be worked on here: If anyone wants to contribute creatively to the faction I'd love community support.

    My other half has commandeered my airbrush to learn and gain confidence with it. Early results are promising! And my own Day two painting, trying to get the rider a bit more definition and building out details on his throne and captive Mustings on Warscroll

    I used one in a narrative event admittedly we allowed monsters to cross grand alliance so mine integrated into my Fire Aelves. Currently designing a new destruction faction of which the magma dragon falls under the banner and is available as a mount. Beautiful model and lots of fun.

    Cheers, its a fair call I'll see how well he takes to painting later and if neccessary nothing is impossible to remove. Since I have an early start tomorrow I've had to pause him for the night but here's where he ended up so far:

    I was but only because I'd googled it. Thought it would be a more SIgmary way of relating to the Great Maw of old fantasy.

    Airbrushing begins!

    Its been a while since i did anything that majorly inspired me in terms of destruction for Age of Sigmar as it can be very challenging to get excited about a faction that can come off as two dimensional, whenever i start out a new project I tend to design and make one big centre piece model for the faction to get me inspired for what I'm going to be making. So looking at the most unloved of the destruction faction the Firebellies (one model, finecast). I did like the lore of regarding Gorkamorka as the Great Suneater so working that forward I'm working on a faction that revels and reversed in the flame in all its forms, wanting nothing more than to turn the worlds around them into firey reflections of their gods laughing face. To this end I will be working on custom scrolls, models and fluff for the faction to grow them into arsonist based mixed destruction faction with unique spells and a story behind them. So to give the concept some legs here is an early WIP of Svangr Prophet of the Suneater atop his Magma Dragon

    Cheers, the cost is somewhat prohibitive but its the first time I've had some rough flesh on a destruction army concept to work with in quite a while. Was considering trying to go back to competitive play for a while there but I cant find the joy in running the numbers of taking only the best units (to a degree it seems quite soulless to me creatively) so I may end up going the other way and working on a custom battletome army which left either death or destruction as the two lacking variation. So far possible conversions: Prophet of the Suneater on Fire Dragon Slatr Warbeast - Squiggoth with Ogor drummer and either a cannon on the front or a crew of Orruks with nets/spears Mighty Slatr - Gargantuan Squiggoth, see above but with War mammoth profile and ability to embark units on it.

    I'm considering a conversion but its hard to tell if its a good idea or ultimately would just be a terrible waste of money (Anyone whose seen my previous conversions might lean toward the latter but I dont do things small ) whenever I'm in a creative slump I like to go through and plan one big piece that hopefully inspires me to make an army. Most of the time this involves browsing every monster in the GW range in order to find one that speaks to my current mood. So what does the community think of the following: Suneater riding Magma Dragon The conversion itself is simple enough, most of the Ogor firebelly model, the legs and saddle from the stonehorn model and ofcourse the beautifully sculpted forgeworld magma dragon with some greenstuffing to blend it all together. In my head it ofcourse looks amazing but I'm not sure if it reaches the point in cost where alot of players hate custom scrolls (mostly because people tend to get over excited and make it OP) and might ruffle people the wrong way

    I think part of the reason today is such a bummer in terms of rules leaks is because of how exciting the stuff for the military and eels was yesterday, they kind of built up to strong leaks and then the drop down to average feels alot lower down.

    More work completed on my squad of Afflicted Paladins for my Stormcast host, pack leader just needs basing sorted and then I need to work through some of the smaller details of the rest of the pack and sort out all bases. And then finally will be weapon and shield glows on the two packmates.

    Cheers, it stemmed from her brief of "I just want Nature Aelves with animals!" and I tend to have to grimdark everything up a little. I also like exploring the concept of Aelves without a benevolent god, literally having to find their own way of surviving in the wilds, it leaves them nomadic as if they remain in one area too long they will end up wearing through all of the local Fauna and decimating the wildlife, so at once they want to protect the natural wilds and are themselves a danger to it.

    Working on something a little different to my Feral Stormcast today, my Girlfriend wanted something for a more Naturey Aelf army but loved the Gryph Charger models. So here's an Aelf trick riding a Gryph (reins to be added when this greenstuff dries and tidying up the armour on her back. The background for these Aelves works around Exiles who bond their souls to animals in order to stave off Soul degredation, doing so is a parasitic act rather than symbiotic as they eventually wear down the beast with which they had bonded, prematurely aging it before eventually consuming it entirely. The older the Aelf in question the more intuitively they have bonded with beasts, always bonding with a similar creature their very minds take on traits of the souls gthey have consumed.

    Managed to get more work done today and collate what I have on hand thus far, also found three prosecutors in my bits box so I'm chalking that up as a win. The army so far stands at: Lord Celestant (both on and off mount) - Painted Neave Blacktalon (Painted) 5 Liberators (without helmet) - Painted 5 Liberators (with helmet) - Part Painted 3 Werewolves (Count as Concussors) - Alpha painted, 2 packmates part painted 3 "Gryph" Hounds - Painted 10 Vanguard Hunters (Primed) 1 Wolf Riders - Converted 3 Prosecutors (Primed)

    Personally I love the background, it had the potential to be too Little Mermaid but the terror and desperation of having to flee the unrelenting light of their creator to the depths it could never pierce, the soul starvation and moral degradation their need to take souls must cause whilst never been “just cos we’re evil” is a rich starting point
  23. Melcavuk
    Idoneth are specifically a failed experiment, they fled rather than face the searing light and madness induced by Tyrion searching for what went wrong with their inception. Not having a lead god makes more sense with that background than having one
