  1. Figured I could go nuts on his base since he won't get an armor save bonus from cover anymore now ethereal was changed...
  2. Harbinger done! He's carrying his own cover around! It's a piece of Canadian slate that I drilled flat on one side with a dremel tool. It's a bit of a scenic base, but it's actually quite a bit more stable than he previously was.
  3. This rumormill picture, along with a previous one that looks suspiciously like the spectral ghosts from the undead range makes me more hopeful that there will be new death models in the second half of 2018. Looks like LoN, despite not adding a lot of new things, does unlock the whole range of death to hardcore death fans like myself, so I'll be able to amuse myself loads until that time comes.
  4. Also, I managed to finish off the 3 crypt flayers, expanded the ghouls by another 10 dudes and finished the ghoulking to put him on his Zombie dragon mount, finally finishing that Start collecting box that was still in my pile of shame! Just in time for Malign portents:
  5. The skintone started from black, highlighted using the airbrush using dark reaper grey and then onto Thunder hawk blue. The chest is done with VGC wolf grey. Wings and hair patches are simply picked out with vallejo model colour brown sand and the bones with dark sand. The whole thing gets a coat of army painter quickshade, a matt varnish and I then start rehighlighting with thunderhawk blue (airbrush and edge highlights) finished off by a 50/50 mix of thunderhawk blue and VGC wolf grey. The edges of the wings get faded out from dark brown to pure black before the whole wings get a drybrush of brown sand again and the bones are rehighlighted to cover up the mess from the drybrush
  6. The blood knights are done! 10 of them finished now. Some shots are screwy because the focus of my old camera is starting to act up... Apologies for that: I also got the first vargheists done as well :
  7. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/26/february-white-dwarf-preview/ This has me worried... Not even a mention of LoN, despite the cat being out of the bag due to the Aussie AoS app leaks.
  8. Coming soon! I do love that dwarf pose... suitably imposing!
  9. Pre-orders for 3/2 is very plausible if the painting competition phase 1 ends by the 10th... Next phase is the harbinger, so that lines up with a pre-order on the 3rd.
  10. I've just had 2 weeks off during the christmass holidays and managed to get these pieces of terrain from sprue to finished! Let's hope that's going to lead to some fun wargaming in 2018!
  11. The whole point of getting plastic blood knights would be to stop paying top dollar for them imo...
  12. I do hope they don't just turn it into a "popularity contest campaign" like the previous one.... In that campaign, it was pretty obvious that destruction and death players are no where near numerous enough to win in that kind of campaign. If GW only releases new Chaos and order MODELS before that campaign, that really isn't going to help! I can't imagine GW completely ignoring death in the sculpting department again during malign portents, but if the timing you are saying is true, the "story arc of death" would certainly be off to a false start for death players. -.-
  13. No, Phil Kelly was specifically asked what happened to the other mortarchs and he said this narrative event would only focus on the existing 3 mortarchs with model kits...
  14. Works continues to get 10 blood knights ready for the upcoming battle tome! I'll be using the von Carstein upgrade pack again on their shields.
  15. I don't think so, those models are considered legacy for aestethic reasons (according to GW at the start of AoS). That, and lore reasons are also weird. Nagash was never able to truely exort his will over the Tomb Kings and they have always been fighting amongst themselves. Since the old world was destroyed, Nagash would have no real reason to resurrect undead that he never controlled.
  16. That... looked an awful lot like the old skullvane Manor. I'd be jumping for joy if that kit becomes available again!
  17. That's true... Although I'm not sure if that was because of the storytelling in the video (the SCE being the first thing to think of to oppose nurgle) or it being the deathrattle who can't get Nurgle's gift...
  18. Hmmm, I'm not sure about all factions being turned against death in this. Sigmar might still be hoping to come to terms with Nagash again. And if this shapes up to be a nurgle vs Nagash clash, it might even see a few more instances of death working along with the SCE... I can see an aelf faction being released as well as champions of life (as... in a perverted kind of way... Nurgle is as well). So a split in order in factions who end up being radically opposed to Chaos vs opposed to death might be in the works too?
  19. Thanks I have finally gotten around to doing the second mortarch for my army. Neferata! Some final highlights stilll need doing, but I'll be putting up better pictures of her soon:
  20. Cheeky little preview (late WIP) of a unit of 5 bloodknights, made out of caledor dragon princes:
  21. Thanks folks I did buy a new game mat (from Kraken wargames) to go with this army, so it was time for a family picture (even though the lighting in the shot is all screwy in my living room).
  22. Basecoat of kislev flesh + red mixed in. Then airbrushed pure kislev flesh over it (zenithal). Then washed it with a home made brown wash and finished it off with a final brush highlight with kislev flesh again.
  23. Got around to taking more pictures today: Finished Manfred on horse... Although I think I might highlight the mount's head a bit more and possible add some blood effects to the blade: I expanded the Morghast archai to 4 and added 2 harbingers. This means I can now field full deathlord lists up to 2k! Yay Krell was also finished (excuse me... Generic wight king with black axe now): And finally, a zombie horde of 60 that I really wasn't able to squeeze into the lightbox/frame. So here's a bit under 30 to represent the shambling horde: Hope you like them!
  24. I took some pictures in the lightbox today, only to realise most of them had a slightly out of focus front model... But still, I did make progress and finished the starterset! And some better shots of steelheart's group too:
  25. I've recently bought the Shadespire starterbox and I absolutely love the models so far. I'm hoping to do all the warbands they release, but I have to start somewhere... So I kicked things off with the posterboys: Fun models to do. It was actually nice to paint polished clean gold. Hope you like them! The reavers will follow quite soon.
