    So, the beginning of my Lion Rangers were mostly models I had in my old high elf army, rebasing some of them and buying a new box of Lion Rangers to get new Command Units, leaving some old models I started painting (so I didn't have to decolor them) and building an hero for them because GW didn't. The result was this:
    1 Lion Noble (using the Dragon Noble Warscroll) 3x10 White Lions 3 White Lion Chariots 6 War Lions (don't having a Warscroll at all)


     
     
    After that (mostly because at the moment the War Lions don't have an Warscroll or a real hero) I started to work on my Fanmade Lion Rangers Battletome:
    In the next stage I give my army some new Units like the Lion Lord on Emperor Lion (made out of a Manticore) and the Lion Riders Cavalry.
     


    The next goal will be finding a interesting color theme for them that will fit into the fantastic world called "the mortal Realms".

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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:

    I made a painting session about 5 to 6 hours to paint that guy on sunday, but couldn't finished him that day because the base wasn't ready.
    Today I brushed the base with Karak Stone to finish him.
    Have fun with my Lord Aquilor

    I painted 4 Models in time of last sunday to Thursday for a event that was called "Heldengemosche" (let's call it "battle of heroes"), the plan was about 1000 points consisting up to 6 heroes
    I painted these three in about 8-9 hours (wednesday 18:00 to Thursday 3:00
    Knight Questor


    Knight Venator


    Lord Relictor (I will call Morbius)


    The three days before I painted my biggest model for Stormcast Eternals. 
    Drakesworn Templar



    So my plan for the event was the following army
    Drakesworn Templar (500)
    - Storm Lance
    Knight-Questor (100)

    Victor Brightsoul (100)
    Lord-Castellant
    Knight-Venator (120)

    Morbius (80)
    Lord-Relictor

    Valten Blazenheart (100)
    Lord-Celestant

    Total: 1000/ 1000
    So the complete warband would look like this:

    So, they waited for over a month (started painting them end of July), but I just finished the judicator retinue that's led by Yelena Stormheart.
    So here they are:


     
    Another thing. I bought Blightwar today, (but I think I will have more use for the daemons than the stormcast models).
    It's just sad that Neave Blacktalon is a named character and she is actually bound to the "Hammers of Sigmar" (I  don't like the golden colortheme of the Stormcast Eternals posterboys). I really hope GW will make a Knight-Zephyros Warscroll soon, so I can use the model for my Celestial Vindicators).
    Don't like the Idea of using the warscroll "count as" for my Vindicators.

    Tales of Clan Machi I

    By EMMachine,

    Here is the first story my skavenclan. I know the my chars didn't really speak like skaven but I don't have an entire grammar collection of skaven. I think my clan has some feeling of a cult with a charismatic and feared prophet.
    And here comes the story. If someone finds errors, its nice to hear. And now, just have fun :
    One year before the Scabrous Sprawl campaign, the last betrayal
     
  13. EMMachine
    So, I have translated my stories I wrote for the skaven. To get a little faster through it I use the google translator this time and read it to search for errors. Hope I didn't oversee something.
    First the clandescription:
    I have a story work in process where my Celestial Vindicators are fighting in the Scabrous Sprawl but I'm not finished yet with it. I think Ratskit has a little wipe of another charismatic bold leader who leads a brotherhood.
    And the following is the characterdescription of my Skaven Warlord, Zrik Nightclaw
    The story, what happened to him in "the last betrayal" follows in the next post.

    On Friday I made a my actual third game of Age of Sigmar with the Battle of Heroes Event in GW-Wiesbaden.
    I wrote a little introductionstory before posting this the first time:
    Actually it was some sort of introductiongame because my it was the first game for my opponent. After he only has "normalsized" models I didn't use my Drakesworn Templar, so it was a 500 Point Game with 5 Heroes. So my army looked like this:
    Victor Brightsoul (100)
    Lord-Castellant

    Knight-Venator (120)

    Morbius (80)
    Lord-Relictor

    Valten Blazenheart (100)
    Lord-Celestant

    Total: 500/ 500
    The army of my opponent contained the following models:


    Aspiring Deathbringer with Goreaxe and Skullhammer (80)

    Exalted Deathbringer (80)
    - Ruinous Axe & Skullgouger

    Bloodstoker (80)

    Bloodsecrator (120)

    Mighty Lord Of Khorne (140)


    Total: 500/500
     
    At first I thought the shop would have a scenario for that event, but after should compromise to a Battleplan. To keep it simple we used "Three Places of Power", because it fits nicely to the event after heroes should hold objectives.
    I hope I didn't make an mistake that the marker is controlled by a hero until is is killed or left the 3" range of the marker.
    The battlefield was 48"x48", and we still used 3 markers so each marker were 12" away to each other instead of 18".
    So here was the battlefield (seen from my side of the table)

    Sadly some of my pictures have a bad quality, because I made them with my smartphone and didn't wanted to waste to much time.
    Set-up of Stormcast Eternals:
    Knight Questor positioned next to the right wood
    Lord Relictor right from the magical water.
    Lord Celestant left of the magical water, next to the tower
    Lord Castellant between the left wood and the tower and the Knight Venator next behind the Lord Castellant

    Set-Up Chaos:
    Blood Stoker right to the ruinwalls
    Mighty Lord of Khorne and Bloodsecrator behind the mausoleum
    Exalted Deathbringer and Aspiring Deathbringer positioned behind the wood in the enemy territorium.

    I didn't read that the player that finished first could choose who has initiative we rolled the Initiative (after both armies did have the same number of units I think it was alright so).
    The first initiative goes to Chaos:
    Chaos Turn 1:
    Blood Stoker Wipped the Mighty Lord of Khorne
    in the Movement Phase all models exept the the Bloodsecrator ran to the markers. The Bloodsecrator moved right behind the mausoleum. the Blood Stoker conquered the right marker, the Mighty Lord of Khorne the middle marker and the Aspiring Deathbringer conquered the left marker
    3 : 0 points for Chaos

    Stormcast Eternals Turn 1:
    Lord Celestant used Furious Retribution, Lord Castellant used this Warding Lantern for the Lord Celestant
    The Lord Relictor moved into the wood. Lord Castellant and Knight Venator move near the left marker. The Lord Celestant moved closer to the two Deathbringers. The Knight Questor moved closer to the Blood Stoker but falied it's charge later this round.
    The Knight Questor shoots at the Aspiring Deathbringer and makes 3 wounds. The Lord Celestant uses his Sigmarite Warcloak, generating 4 hammers and killed the Aspiring Deathbringer. After that he charged Exalted Deathbringer and wounded him once but got 2 wounds (even with the lanterns effect).
    After my units were not near enough to the marker I didn't get any points that round. So it's still 3 : 0 for chaos


    Ini roll round 2: Stormcast Eternals win
    Stormcast Eternals Turn 2:
    Lord Celestant used Furious Retribution, Lord Castellant used this Warding Lantern for the Lord Celestant. The Lord Relictor used the storm to heal the Lord Celestant.
    The Lord Castellant moved to the left marker to conquer it. The Lord Quetor moved closer to the Blood Stoker.
    The Knight Venator moved forward to get free sight to the Mighy Lord of Khorne (more aesthetical than really needed)
    He shoots at the mighty lord, but failed to wound him.
    The Lord Celestant generated another four hammers and damaed the Mighty Lord with them.
    The Knight Questor charged the Blood Stoker. I activated the Knight Questor first, because I thought the Lord Celestant would will survive with the 2+ Save with the lanterns effect and made three wounds at the Blood Stoker.
    After it was the first game for my opponent I gave him the advise, he should attack with his Deathbringer first, after the Lord Celestant hadn't attacked yet and nothing would attack the Blood Stoker in that round. The Deathbringer failed to make damage to the Lord Celestant (because he blocked all damage). The Lord Celestant didn't make damage either because the Deathbringer blocked everything.
    The Blood Stoker was able to make one damage to the Knight Questor.
    After conquering the left marker the score was 3 : 1 for Chaos.


    Chaos Turn 2
    The Bloodsecrator used his portal of Skulls to for the Rage of Khorne Ability.
    The Mighty Lord stayes at the marker to "corrupt" it further.
    In the combat phase, the Lord Celestant makes 3 Damage to the Deathbringer, all other models fail to make damage.
    After the Blood Stoker is still controlling the right marker and the Mighty Lord controlling the middle one he generates 4 pointes. So the score is 7 : 1 for chaos.
     
    Ini Roll Turn 3: Chaos wins.
    Chaos Turn 3
    The Bloodsecrator used his portal of Skulls to for the Rage of Khorne Ability. Blood Stoker Wipped the Mighty Lord of Khorne.
    Mighty Lord of Khorne moved closer to the Knight Questor to charge him and makes 2 damage with his axe.
    Knight Questor tries zu kill the Blood Stoker but fails.
    The Deathbringer makes 2 damage to the Lord Celestant but gets killed after this in return.
    The ability of the Axe failed to kill the Knight Questor
    The Blood Stoker generates another 3 points. So the score is 10 : 1 now.
     
    Stormcast Eternals Turn 3
    Lord Celestant used Furious Retribution, Lord Castellant used this Warding Lantern for the Lord Celestant. The Lord Relictor used the storm to heal the Lord Celestant.
    The Lord Celestant moved to the middle marker, the Lord Castellant moved closer to the marker and the Knight Venator moves within 8" of the Bloodsecrator.
     The Knight Venator tries to shoot at the Mighty Lord and sends its eagle to the Blood Stoker, but both fail.
    The Lord Celestant generates another 4 hammers sends 2 to the Mighty Lord and 2 to the Blood Stoker and killes the Mighty Lord but failes to kill the Blood Stoker.
    The Knight Venator tries to charge the Bloodsecrator but failed with a 6.
    In Combat Phase the Knight Questor killes at least the Blood Stoker and got controll to the right marker.
    After the Lord Celestant and Lord Questor got control to the middle and right marker and generating 1 point each and the Lord Castellant still controlling the left marker generating 2 points it's still 10 : 5 for chaos.
    Ini Roll for Round 4: Stormcast Eternals win (this is the last round)
    Stormcast Eternals Turn 4
    Lord Celestant used Furious Retribution, Lord Castellant used this Warding Lantern for the Knight Venator. The Lord Relictor moved forward after he had nothing to do. The Knight Venator moved within 3,5" to the Bloodsecrator, shoots at him which makes 2 damage and charged him with a roll of 3.
    While piling in he moved around the Bloodsecrator (because he only has to move closer to the closest model at the end of piling in, so he is in the 9" bubble of the Lord Celestant).
    Neighter the Knight Venator nor the Bloodsecrator made damage in combat.
    The Knight Questor and Lord Celestant generate another 2 Points by holding the marker and the Lord Castellant another 3. So this is the first time in the game that the Stormcasts have more points with 10 : 12 for Chaos.

     
    At this point the game ends after the Bloodsecrator is unable to make any points and is locked in combat.
     
    So it was a win for the stormcast eternals at the end.
    I know that a win against a veteran is more satisfying, but the game was fun and after I was 3 turns in the back that makes me sweat. If I hadn't slain the Deathbringer in chaos turn 3 or my Lord Questor would have slain during the game the game would have another ending.
    Perhaps the Chaos Army would have more power by having a slaughterpriest, after he could create mortal wounds and would have pressurize my Stormcast Eternals perhaps more but I didn't made the list.
    I don't know if the Mighty Lord should have attacked in turn 2 or generate 3 points by staying at the marker so I would have enough points in round 5 at best.

    I'm actually writing further parts of my background (mostly from Yelenas standpoint) and I'm struggeling with one point after I think I miss some information about Stormcast Eternals. I don't know where to post it, after this forum doesn't have a loresection, so I use my blog for this.
    I have thought about, that some Stormcasts had come to my own continent (not through a realmgate) and now where trapped there until opening a gate to Azyr or dieing in combat. And they found surviving humans.
    After we know, that Stormcast Eternals are modified humans (not ghosts in armour like the Thousand Sons in 40k) there is the point what a stormcast would wear as clothes, when not fighting in combat. I don't think that they wear there armour 24/7 (if there is something like constant time in AoS). We have read that stormcasts were fighting for days, weeks or more at the same battlefield, but even when they are nearly immortal they should have to eat and sleep  some time (and I don't think that sleeping inside the armour is that confortable) and have to do some body hygiene (if they don't want to smell like worshippers of nurgle after some time).
    Do they wear tunics, dresses or shirt and trousers? Is there some point of background I didn't know, after mostly reading Battletomes?
    Another point is, what do Stormcasts Eternals wear underneath there armour. I think the only thing we know is, that they have those black cloth or rubber? parts beween there armourplates (mostly visible in the kneepart), so they can move. But I don't know if this is they parts are connected to the armour itself or if they are wearing some sort of bodysuit. It would be a little strange if the warrior would completely naked when stripping of the armourplates.

    Perhaps somebody could help me with my questions. It would help me with my writing.
