Grey-ish.
I started with a black primer and then hit all the skulls with white artist inks with the airbrush... That kind of made 70+% of the model a colour that resembled Grey seer a bit. I then used aethermatic blue and that spilled over it quite a lot too, giving it a blue/grey tint.
Black templar covered most of it quite well though, but it did leave the highlights cold, rather than warm. I'd say the end result looks a lot closer to using Grey seer as a basecoat, rather than wraithbone.-

Big fan of your work! I'm thinking of painting my OBR in a black/grey scheme. How'd you do Neferrata's mount bones, if you don't mind my asking?
This is just black Templar contrast paint with a light Vallejo wolf grey drybrush. Nothing fancy at all.

Contrast paint sure is speeding up my backlog!

Long time no update!
I've been keeping busy, and I plan on going hard on the OBR release too! I've experimented a bit with black bone on my Neferrata model:

Seems like a strong army. It's got some really solid warscrolls, but the points costs for most troops are pretty damn steep... And army wide, there are some harsh limitations.
No cheap screens, no cheap objective sitters, no alpha bunker option (just a slow advance) and no way to get them in due to not having any allies.
This will be a potent army for sure, but it does have some very obvious downsides to it related to the missions. -

They should beta-test digitally then do a physical release with the final adjustments. Points changes yearly are fine.
I would much rather they went full card system for the rules: cards for allegiances, for artifacts, for spells, for everything. Make lovely looking binders so you can tailor your book to your army (with all necessary rules in one binder) and rules diffusion is no longer a problem.
If one card/ability is utterly busted, just replace that one a year later along with GHB as an updated cardpack.
And use the freed up space in the battletomes for more background, more painting tips, more "historical battles" your army partook in versus various factions so your gaming group can re-enact those moment better.
You might even reduce piracy this way as well.-

@GeneralZeroThere are 3 days before preorder. Enough time for 1 OBR article, 1 Mawtribe and 1 combined article.
And one day if they actually reveal anything at SPIEL this extended weekend.

Took my Wild hunt in a different direction than the GW colourscheme:
I immediately had to think of the night elves from World of Warcraft when I first saw the Kurnothi!-

I think the thing is if GW were going to flesh out the Wanderers they'd not have put them into the Free Cities. If Kurnothi become their own force then it wouldn't be fleshing out the wanderers but replacing them.
After LoN (the soup tome essentially) and then the MASSIVE expansion of both the malignant creature type(being nighthaunt) and now, the reanimant creature type (being the bonereapers), I really fail to see how you can jump to this conclusion.

I really hope the design team took some effort to figure out how they interact with LoN if they allow them on board because to make these guys a really strong stand alone army and then incorporate the best of that into LoN might be Grim Reapers x10.
I understand the LoN players wanting to have some of these new toys but at the same time, I kind of hope they cannot be included and that they are meant to always be an outlier on the far end of Nagash's reach.
I disagree... I like the cross pollination. GRR was just messy because GRR were undercosted for how good they are, and that's now fixed. I'd be mightily surprised if another Nagash + 2*30 GRR lists float to the top of tournaments now.

I will surely pick up quite a few of the models, the cavalry just looks awesome. I also like the "smaller guys" (apart from the helmets, but that's beating a dead horse at this point), but I want to see just how big they are.
A lot will depend on what battleline manipulations can be done. I like the smaller infantry, but after 80 skellies, 60 zombies, 40 chainrasps, 60 ghouls,... I don't feel like having to add a ton more weenie troops to a new army. I'm really hoping this can be one of the first undead armies that actually plays well as a highly elite force (sadly, the vampire heavy LoN lists are fun, but they aren't amazing on the battlefield). -
There's also one thing I noticed in the video... The scenery.
There's a scene with the army laid out in front of repeating wall sections made of bone and skin. Either their bespoke terrain team made something that they were able to replicate several time (pretty much flawlessly), or we might be looking at a new necropolis wall section for potential use in siege games (like the old Khorne fortress). -

I've been saying on the FB groups for a while now, that I suspect this will be more about reanimants than about deathrattle...
Especially seeing how the armor resembles that of the morghasts so much.
It would also tie in a lot more with the end times releases for death:
Nagash and his three mortarchs --> LoN
Spirit hosts --> complete nighthaunt/malignant rework
Morghasts --> complete reanimant rework.
I'm not sure they are skeletons even... I'm looking at the video and these guys feel too "beefy" almost for skeletons (except ofc the mounts):
That, and the armor being identical to the Morghasts, makes me lean more towards reanimants as opposed to skeletons.
"These are not risen warriors or malignant spirits – they are bespoke war-constructs forged from harvested bone and gifted the soul animus of great warriors and heroes. "
I'm not even going to try to be humble... called it! I'm just hoping Morghasts are also used in that new book, because that'll make me even happier than I am now!

Last time I tried to stay up for a preview I'm sure that the event only started at the advertised time but lasted for hours.
Hope they drop it all at once this time!
Is this streamed in any way?

A full unit of Myrmourn banshees also joins the army!
Also, now that my balewind vortex is finished, all the endless spells usable by death, have been finished! Crazy how all of this was released in a year by GW.

Lots of Skeletons backed up by constructs powered by souls captured in shadeglass (think eldar Wraith constructs who are powered by the souls of powerful eldar soldiers).
Basically an old 40k trope, but reimagined in AoS, like the soul-raids of the deepkin are heavily inspired by the dark eldar.

Not sure if it's mentioned anywhere, but what is the size of the carboard terrein in the warcry box?
Asking because our LFGS has gaming tables that are only 75cm (30") wide and it would be a godsend if those future battleboards are that size (also for those interested in running AoS meeting engagements, as it would be great if it corresponded with the minimum 30"x40" battlefield. -

No fyreslayers or sky dwarves...
But bonesplitters are there? Hmmm...
Also no Khorne or Tzeench cultists...
Yeah, very limited order representation.
But the whole point about the chaos warbands is that they aren't God focused, but realm focused. I personally love that there are no God specific warbands, although some might argue there's definite hints of the main Gods to be found.-

Elmire, love your work, did you have a replacement in mind now that Guilliman Blue has been discontinued ?
I'm definitely going to be stocking up heavily on it. I'm also told that the new airbrush "clear blue" is the continuation of guilliman blue glaze, but I'll have to check that out for myself. Aethermatic blue is a bit too teal-leaning to be a complete replacement it seems. Suffice to say that I wasn't too thrilled when I first heard that news...
5 hours ago, XReN said:Oh, I think I have another question: are magical smokey thing under Horrorghast and Lauchion painted with washes, or something else?
With thinned down guilliman blue glaze (about 50/50 with lahmian medium or matt varnish, whichever pot is closest). If I want to make it darker, I just add a touch of dark blue artist ink into the mix, if I want to brighten it up, I spray a light mist of white ink over it with the airbrush, as that creates a very translucent layer that still shows some blue through the recesses.

[Shadespire] Going through all the warbands
in Painting and Modelling
Posted
Not 100%, but 90+%.
I still used metallic paints for the golds and blades/armour (not convinced at all by contrast NMM tbh). And I did use a spot of aggrax earthshade and nuln oil occasionally to accentuate some shading or to shade the metallics.
I used darkoath flesh to shade the retributor armor base on the Kurnothi as well. Works like a charm for that.
