    Maybe release for a Witch Hunter faction to pair with Disciples of Tzeentch, much like they released Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults in close proximity in 40k?

    Exactly what I was about to say. Hopefully without ridiculous benefits to fighting keyword chaos, or otherwise comes with a price tag to match said rules. Don't need to neuter Disciples immediately.

    In all seriousness, loving that Tzaangors get a character and an elite unit. Makes them more than mindless assistant/fodder creatures. I think the kairic acolytes would look better painted a bit differently, the flesh is very high contrast, it makes the musculature a bit ridiculous. Look's like they may be the "worse" unit of the army.

    So what do we think? Will daemons be a part of the army?

  3. Once again actually a Thursday, but Skink priest is finished, and now in a display case at my local GW. I am very happy with it, especially the base, Valhallen blizzard is fantastic, and easy to use. Managed to build up drifts and give a direction of fall. Also managed to keep most the bones poking through from the sculpted base.

  4. I would suggest building up waves, maybe even creating a shoreline for some of the larger ones. That ways it will tie with the footsloggers of the force. I imagine filler, or a modelling putty (maybe brown stuff, greenstuff might get expensive) would work. Then paint it and glaze in the water texture. Should make it shine. Check online, there is bound to be some awesome water base guides.

  5. Skink starpriest work continues. Actually really enjoying it, though it's tough to find a decent angle to hold it, I need to invest in a drill! Still need to work on all the metallics. The knife blade I went for Jade, though it needs a strong edge highlight. I will also be adding some dark green for gemstones in places, such as the staff, as well as on the base steps. I'm tempted to experiment with green glazes on the staff, to make it shiny and green. All the blending on the feathers I am happy with, though as I did them in a hurry, and didn't care for my brush so well, all the bristles tore off in cleaning! Clean snapped, not even pulled from the ferrule.

    I am thinking of mixing it up further with the base and maybe using some snow? It still has the steps and the details, I shaved it down and stuck it on a 32mm round. It currently just has greenstuff and stirland mud to cover gaps and build it up.

  6. So my local GW is doing an advent competition. You buy anything under £20, and a base/layer paint. It is wrapped, and then given out at random to another entrant. I put in a dark elf sorceress and a dark blue grey, with a message referring to Lolth, goddess of the drow. Fortunately, I met the guy who ended up with her and he's totally up for it! I ended up with a skink starpriest and slaanesh grey. I'm happy, it's a real departure from my natural safety net of green skin, browns, silver, and red. And a paint I didn't already own.

    I am planning on giving the recesses another wash after I have finished painting all the skin slaanesh grey. The scales I'm thinking of doing black with a purple spine, and the crest purple too. Not too sure on the metal, I think bright gold is a good variant from the cold skin. Not sure on spot colours for the feathers of gems, maybe red? Or a dark emerald green? Help appreciated!
