    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:

    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

    Okay, I did a little building again for my maidenguard
    Actually I build 2x10 Maiden Defenders (didn't glued the Shields yet)

    A Handmaiden on Steed

    And 2 Maiden Chariots (not glued yet, because I brush the deers normally after shading)

    Even when not using the fan made Battletome it gives me more variation because the Maiden Defenders (Bleakswords) are Battleline and I can build an Order army with combined with the reavers.

    This story, not like the other stories was based on a Hinterlands testgame. The Knight Venator wasn't part of that game, but I made up the character here because the game went bad. I can't make the game from perspective of the Lord Celestant because he really died the way in the story do to a doubleturn in turn 2.
    Afterwards thinking, perhaps it would have been better, using a Knight Azyros instead of a Knight Venator because the Azyros doesn't have a Missile Weapon that could shoot every opponent from a distant.
    In the end, this is the mission I mentioned in "Yelena's first mission" and the point why Valten Blazenheart wasn't there.
    But still have fun.

    After I made the Thread in the Modelling and Painting Subboards I didn't wrote more blog entries.
    To give a little update here.
    Since September 2017 the project contained Tribesmen. Here the blogentry
    Those were only planned as a mixed force at the beginning.
    Since june 2019 those guys are growing to become a recogniseable force on there own.
    Already Painted are these guys.
    Chieftain on Griffon


    Shaman on Griffon

    Shaman

    Demigryph Knights (1)




    Reavers

    Freeguild Guard

    Those guys are in a quite wierd spot right now. They basicly open up this part of the project years ago, but I actually used metal colors back then. All other models I painted above didn't use any metal colors so it is most likely that those guys will get a makeover in case of there metal parts).

    So, to give a little update for the last week.
    My Ranger part of the army got another 10 Eternal Guard (so the unit contains 20 now) and 10 Wildwood Rangers). Actually don't have pictures of it because it's not really interesting showing mostly noncoverted minis.
    A little more interesting should be, that I made a High Priestess containing parts of Yvraine and parts of the Sisters of the Thorn. Actually I don't know that warscroll I should use (Spellweaver looks a little wasted here). Is there something better fitting for a priestess in Ghyran than a woman walking barefoot (except that she doesn't have legs where men become jealous of like it's the case with Alarielle).
    I undercoated her yesterday and started painting the skin, so this is the result:

    Still I don't have finished any more models but I will show the WIP pics.
    First my three heroes


    From left to right: Waywatcher, Nomad Prince, Spellweaver.
    And the first 10 Sisters of the Watch (of 30).

    Actually I have done a little painting on the 5 additional Wildriders, but I didn't make pictures of them.
    Next weekend will get interesting in case of Building:
    I actually orders 4 Boxes of Sisters of the Thorn/Wildriders and 1 Box of Sisters of the Watch. With these boxes I want to build another 10 Wild Riders and 2 units of 5 Reavers. Using the Deers standing on the hindlegs because if I saw correctly the Sisters of the Watch Cape should fit in this case so I could use the upper body of the Sisters of the Watch.
    I really must say, it's fun to work on a most/entirely female army that isn't over sexualized.

    Hi community,
    I translated another story. This time it's more of a prequel. It's the last moment of Yelena Stormheart before becoming a Stormcast Eternal. We already got some information in Yelenas Character Description but here it's a little more fleshed out.
    Have fun ?

    Here is another story attempt. At first the story was planned with the Fleetmaster Delayar as protagonist, but I thought the landlady Thalia could be an interesting protagonist (mostly because she can have several customers to interact in her Tavern). It's a try to fit in some official GW stuff into the story as well as some bits of my own creations. (After I mix Frostaelfs, Fyreaelfs and Shadowaelfs in this story I wish I hadn't split the Projects into two.)

    Delayar's Loss

    So, this is more of a WIP Post. At first I thought making a Scar like Theme, but this didn't worked out, mostly because of the light underbelly.
    At the end I got a little inspiration of @kenshin620 Lionpictures in the Fanmade Lion Rangers Battletome Thread. The Idea could be that my lion ranger aelfs could be some sort of firealefs (or fyreaelfs if we take the wording of fyreslayers) living in aqshy having Blaze Lions.


    Actually I'm writing something about a Lionlike Godbeast, that isn't translated yet, don't know if it is even finished, yet.

    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.
  13. EMMachine
    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:

    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
     
  15. 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.

    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.
     
  17. EMMachine
    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.
