Lord Panther

Here's a few pics from my Mhornar army. I went with blue overalls and plain metal armour for the Arkanauts. The more elite (characters, thunderers, bubbles) get the fancy blue armour. The arkanaut scheme is basically the studio Barak Nar one but substituting navy blue for the purple. Recipe was Kantor Blue, Nuln Oil, Thunderhawk Blue highlight. Moustaches are gold.

I always thought it looked like a trolls armpit.

Thanks Watcher, the idea of a full on, all ships list is why I started with KO I'm guessing there will be a lot of Stormcast, a lot of Nighthaunt and heaps of spells. I'm thinking either of these would be good. Masterwrought Armour: Re-roll save rolls of 1 (Aqshy) Ignax’s Scales: 4+ ignore mortal wounds

Loving the tourney breakdowns. Lot's of good insights. I'm planning on heading to one in a couple of months so am trying to get things painted up. Here's a list I was thinking of taking: Skyport: Barak-Mhornar- Additional Footnote: There's No Trading With Some PeopleArkanaut Admiral - General- Trait: Opportunistic Privateers Aetheric NavigatorAether-Khemist Knight-Incantor - Spell: Chain Lightning- Allies10 x Arkanaut Company - 3x Aethermatic Volley Guns10 x Arkanaut Company- 3x Light Skyhooks10 x Arkanaut Company- 3x Skypikes6 x Endrinriggers- 1x Drill Cannons- 1x Grapnel LaunchersArkanaut Frigate - Main Gun: Heavy Sky CannonGrundstok Gunhauler- Main Gun: Sky CannonArkanaut Ironclad - Main Gun: Great Sky Cannon- Great Endrinworks: The Last WordGyrocopters - Gun: Steam Gun- AlliesTotal: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 220 / 400Wounds: 109 I spend most of my time painting rather than playing so I'm not very up to speed. Are there any particular gems in the new Realm Artifacts for KO? Not sure if the Knight Incantor is a good idea but I'm worried about getting smashed by magic (I did have a Knight Venator in there instead as I had made an all flying army). As far as what I can get done in time, I've only got the Ironclad and a unit of Arkanauts to get built and painted. I do have a mixed unit of Thunderers painted and a another 5 still on sprues. I've also got a unit of Skywardens/Endrinriggers still on sprues.

It's the middle of winter down here so it's been hard to find time to get some good images but here is some of my progress. I've finished up a Navigator to help get rid of all those pesky new spells and a Knight Venator to ally in. I'm also pretty close to finishing a Gunhauler. I want to attend a tourney in October with my Kharadron so I'm gonna try get them up to 2k. That will probably mean getting my Ironclad done and another unit of Arkanauts to get my third battleline (the biggest disappoint for me in GH18 was that they didn't make another unit conditional battleline, purely from a collection point of view, having to run three identical units is lame). There has also been the little matter of Soul Wars so I have started painting up a ghost army as well. It's fun painting something a completely different style. EDIT: Better photos

I was thinking a reverse Zenital might work. Base white then black on the top areas.

So I got a bit distracted by Malign Portents muster and managed to paint and collect a small Ironjawz army. Now that distraction is out of the way it's back to the Overlords. Here's what's on my desk at the moment.

This jpeg file is called 'AspectStorm'. What would the other aspects be? AspectCalm? AspectTsunami?

Might be time to retire the green sheet then.

Based on how these break down (and looking at the 40k ones), do you think if you just use half of them it would be big enough for a skirmish?

Cheers @Stevewren @Dave Fraser It's been rather slow going but I'm pretty pleased with how them.

I've made a bit of progress over the break. Lots of painting time. Am trying to get my Necromunda gangs painted up as well. Here's my finished Khemist. I put a bit more detail into the honeycomb of his hazmat suit (rather than the dark brown for the others). Lots of fun with the different metallics. Here's my second Arkanaut company all finished: And then I decided to get a few shots of the whole army to date. I like how it all feels together. Still got another 3 Endrinriggers to complete, then it's time to build the massive Ironclad kit.

Thanks dude. I actually think it's quite a warm colour scheme! Brown, Navy and cream. I basically took the studio paint scheme and swapped the purple for blue (a more suitable naval colour). I consider it a riff on the Barak Mjornar scheme (on a side note; I don't know why they made the skyports colour ways so restrictive. Could have been blue and yellow or purple and cream rather than purple overalls with silver armour, blue armour with cream overalls. Anyway). Putting it together was quite fun but also a bit daunting. I've got an Ironclad sitting there waiting to go but that seems a bit much at the mo. I kept it all in sub assemblies whilst I was painting it which made it feel that I wasn't making a lot of progress at times.
