Darkshards are an Order Battleline and part of Darkling Covens. After Darkling Covens is part of AoS not legends the official warscrolls are playable. Or what do you mean?

Hi, A part of one of my projects is a Lion Rangers Army. The models I actually own are 3x10 White Lions, 1 Dragon Noble in White Lion Design, 3 White Lion Chariots and 6 War Lions. I posted a Twitterpost ( @EMMachine27 ) yesterday (with the unpainted models) because I didn't finish any models during during last weeks and wanted to post something. Now I have the problem. Lion Rangers don't have battlelines or Leader, so they are only playable as Allies, in Order Armies or Path to Glory (Dragon Noble, White Lions, White Lion Chariot). To get the army somewhere playable in Matched Play I need some Battlelines. Perhaps Freeguild Archers or Glade Guard in case of Rules because why would you take close Combat units when you already have White Lions. Perhaps I will look if I can make a conversion of White Lions and the Army of Shadow Warriors. The bigger problem are the War Lions. The Warscroll that would be the closest are the Frost Sabres, in case of Order Warscrolls Gryph Hound. Now I thought, perhaps I could write something like an unofficial Lion Rangers Battletome. I have a PDF Document (made with Google Doc) with Warscrolls, Skirmish Table, Path to Glory Table and Pitched Battle Profiles. I don't know, how you guys make the official looking design. In my case it's quite plain and instead of the way GW handelt the Description and Command Unit Upgrades I uses a Design more similar to the 40k Design. To give a little Overflow. White Lions simply got a "Battleline if" White Lion Chariots got a "Battleline if" similar to the Scourgerunner Chariot of Scourge Privateers, get a WAR LION Keyword, and the option for a Champion (when having more than 1 model, because 1 model champion spam isn't good design ) White Lion Noble is a Dragon Noble with a little weaker Enchanted Shield (Lion Cloak) White Lion Trainer should be a little in function of the Beastclaw Raiders Hunter (with less Range), but could alternativly also be like the Bloodstoker. War Lions are a little mix of Frost Sabres, the War Lion Rules of the Chariot (and perhaps a little "Storm of Magic" (WHFB) White Lion Hunters should be the equivalent of the Freeguild Archers or Glade Guard in this case but more a mix Highborn Archers (AoS Compendium and White Lions) What do you guys think so far. Would such a army be possible, what units are too expensive or too cheap. Actually don't know what could be made for Allegiance Abilites, Battalions or Champion Reward Tables. What units would be interesting, too? Perhaps with a little advertising on Twitter or Facebook for Modelprojects, Lion Rangers could get a little love from GW, too. Edit: Is this the right place for content like this or is there a better place?

Nicely done. A really nice coherent look. It's still interesting how this army keeps there cold look even with the gold. Did you use fire for the energy ball because of the fire on the banners? Sadly I didn't painted much during the last weeks. I have some WIP Blood Stalkers, Darkshards and a Bloodwrack Medusa, but nothing finished, yet. I have some Aelf Faction build up and primed during last weeks mostly 1000 Point lists or something above. 1000 Points Swifthawk Agents (Cavalry style, with Reavers, Charots and a High Warden) 1000 Points Swifthawk Agents (Spireguard Style) 1000 Points Eldritch Council (could be 1500-2000 Points if Sisters of the Watch weren't too expensive by about 20 Points per unit to ally them) 1000 Points Scourge Privateers 1000 Points Shadow Guild (not playable in Matched Play, Assassine, Shadow Warriors, Dark Riders) 1000 Points Lion Rangers (not playable in Matched Play, Dragon Noble as Hero, White Lions, White Lion Chariots and Warlions (not having a warscroll) ) Perhaps I should pack everything into 1 project (don't actually know if I should merge it with my Frost Aelfs because they are aelfs or if they will be separate because the would be big enough with their nearly 6000 Points (as much as the 6 projects above together)

For some reason, the pictures didn't show up and I had to edit the blogentry. Here are 10 of my guys. Also I made another highlight on the cloth with "Blue Horror"

The main problem is, that there isn't much lore. Mostly the Grand Alliance Book plus perhaps the the firestorm campaign. I only have the feeling (when looking at your highter listbuilds (1200 and 2000 Points) that 3-4 Anointed could be a little much for the Army size. It looks like the army is lead by 3-4 Generals. I know, its not the best example but when we look at the Spyreheart Warhost in the Grand Alliance Book, we have 1 Anointed, 2 units of Phoenix Guard and 2-4 Phoenix Models (and since one of the Erratas the 2-4 Phoenix' can't get the Anointed Upgrade), so unmounted Phoenix' should be more common than mounted ones. The example lacks in the point that we can't get a Anointed riding a Phoenix in this Battalion anymore (after it's still the Warscrollname, not the Keyword ANOINTED used in the Warscoll). (More after the next quote) Yeah, that's a real problem in that case (and it's a quite rare one). Either the Mounted Phoenix is too cheep or the unmounted one is too expensive. It's quite different than giving a character a horse, where in most cases the model simply has a higher move and maybe 2 Attacks hitting on 4+ and wounding on 5+ (or the other way around). One thing is, we actually don't know if or how they will change it, but for the case that you're not only going for the most efficient listbuild it could be much saver taking some unmounted Phoenixmodels than perpaps crippling the nicely themed army after a update. At the moment the army is containing Darkling Covens, Daughers of Khaine and Order Serpentis (most Order Serpentis Models aren't glued yet). If I plan correcty my army will include 3 Black ... ehm Frost dragons. 2 Sorceress (one as the Queen of the group) and a Dreadlord as the King and General. I don't know yet if I want to make some Frostaelves with Phoenix Temple and/or Eldritch Counsil.

Hey, nicely painted. Such an army could also be good addition for my "Frostaelves". The only thing I don't like is that there are too many "Anointed Of Asuryan On Frostheart Phoenix" in my opinion where some simply could be unmounted "Frostheart Phoenix". I know that both cost the same at the moment but for me there are too many Leaders (Lorewise not Rulewise).

So, today was the 3. Malign Portent Painting Contest. I painted some Putrid Blightkings this time and this time all models of all three contests were there. Actually there were 5. Entries this time. https://photos.app.goo.gl/nKM6RIVzhUJJwI0m1 Looks like, I didn't hit the interests of the voters. With this contest I because 5. place twice and last place twice. 3rd place were the Beastclaw Raiders 2nd place where the other Nurgle Daemons 1rd place was the death army. Actually don't know, if I will take part in a painting contest again.

So, I'm finished with painting 10 of my Dreadspears (but need to paint another 10 to finish the unit). After a thought the cloth was a little flat on my testmodel, I made another hightling with Blue Horror.

Which Language do you use for your rules? In the english Generals Handbook 2017 the "rolls of 6 are always a success rule" is only for hit- and wound-rolls. In the german book for example there was an error that a save-roll of 6 is always a success but this was changed in the errata.

So, I thought that I would paint the unit were my testmodel came from. But for the last 3 evenings I thought I would like to paint my first "Frostdragon" for this project. Here is the result.

At first, here do I have a backgrounddescription about this army Yesterday I also painted my first testminiature. The Army used to have ice-blue armor, greyblue cloth and violet skin.

Thanks for the review. You mentioned the design of the aqshy side of the board. They actually used the designs of the Citadel Realm of Battle Gameboard that they had since 2007 or so. To say something to the 1" rule of the ruines. I never liked it when GW started to do this 'all models wholy in 1" ' in the FAQ and later in rules like the Deathworld Forest rules. The point is, that when your model has a 32mm Base it never can fit wholy in 1" after the base is 1,5" (25mm is about 1") So things, like marauders, Stormcasts (most of my models because I used 32mm quite often because 25mm liked often to small for me) will never get cover because of this rule. If they only had sad, 1" within the terrain like it was in the basic rules at first and the rule would be good enough and usable in the game.

That's really a "hot" army . Great job. Its really an inspiration for the Age of Sigmar world. And those are really many boxes.

Okay, today was the contest in Wiesbaden and it was a fail in my case. Have the pictures in the following link https://photos.app.goo.gl/eXIibQiu70GTKSbH3 At the end. 86 People voted and I finished last place (with about 1 or 2 votes for my warqueen) . Third place was a Lord Ordinator with a Seraphon Head (Entry 3) Second place was another Warqueen (entry 4) End winner were actually 2 models. a Knight of Shrouds (Entry 7) and the Cave Shaman (Entry 8) The point that frustrated me the most is, that a model that was only basecolored actually got more votes.

So, I ask yesterday if multiple entries in the contest are possible. It's not the case, so after I had chosen the Warqueen (after painting Nurgle Daemons in Part 1), I have to see how she will end in the contest (actually there are 6 entries listed for saturday). I really didn't thought that Celestial Vindicators had that many followers. (Okay they are the third most used Stormhost in Fluff after Hammers of Sigmar and Hallowed Knights until the realmgate Wars). Nice bluemetallic look. Actually not sure about the Retributor, if the trim of the armourplates perhaps should be silver/metallic instead of the same blue as the armour itself. It would give him a little more contrast.

Thanks. I think, most Stormhosts look better than Hammers of Sigmar (it's simply to much gold).

I know she isn't part of this army, but after I painted the Nurgle Daemons as part of the Malign Portents Painting Contest, the Warqueen is part 2 (March, 3rd). I got her on February 16. because on February 10 she was sold and I didn't preorder her. So I painted her in the time between last weekend and yesterday.

I know, this is actually two weeks ago, but I took part in the first Malign Portents Painting Contest. I had chosen the start collecting Box Nurgle Daemons, because I wanted to paint some Nurgle Models this year. Here is the german Facebook Post with pictured of all 10 competing armies. 55 people voted in the time between 11:00 and 17:00. At the end I was 5. of 10. Third place were the Seraphon, second the Ironjaws and first nurgle daemons converted with the Gorbits. Here are my models I painted:

Hi guys, I painted my first stormcast in 2018. It's the Lord Ordinator. At the moment he isn't part of the Malign Portents painting contest, because I had chosen the warqueen (painted Start Collecting Nurgle Daemons in the first part). If I can take more than one miniature, I will try to get him in, too.

I actually started one of my projects as a Thread, and made a Blog with the same name later. The mainpoint was, that I wanted a place to show miniatures, some stories I wrote and perhaps some games I made (even I don't play much because I don't have a group). I simply had the feeling that "Painting and Modeling" wasn't the right place for all of that. I actually like the blog function, because it's easier to follow because if you know who made the blog you can open it by looking in his profile , while you need the search function to find a Thread And each Entry is seperate so it's possible to comment on an entry that was posted months ago. Try this on a Thread that has new entries already.

Really like your Wolves of Ghur. Those guys have a style that they would really live in Ghur and some of them could perhaps fight for order too. When I look through the pictures I would say that the heads are from Chaos Marauders, Marauder Horsemen and Space Wolves.
