Aegisgrimm

Now, granted I am not using the actual AoS rules (I am using an indie set called One Page Rules to play "Age of Fantasy" at my home) but I guess I don't have to worry about any issues with my house rules which have forests blocking line of sight to units behind them, as I use trees that are 6-8 inches tall, and none of the models that see action on my table are tall enough to be seen over that, other than maybe the wingtips of a couple of old metal WHFB dragons. My forests are modular with individually based trees, we just imagine there is tons of unseen undergrowth in amongst them that can't be accurately represented/modelled at 28mm scale unless you are making super-dense jungle stands with aquarium plants.. Its not like 99% of any of the trees on any table out there are big enough to be anything more than saplings, anyway, other than the GW ones and I don't see the point in a section of forest terrain being so ludicrously sparse as to not even require True LoS anyway, as its like a trio of columns sticking out of the ground.

I really like the red color scheme, as well as their background!

A couple of minis in progress this Wednesday. Finished Stormfiend I bought as a used figure at GenCon for 15 bucks and repainted him. Need to redo the loincloth, as I went too heavy handed on the Strong Tone wash (new to using it on entire minis, and also rushed, trying to not have it dry spotty over such large areas), and it turned the Khorne Red into more of a Khorne Brown, so I need to repaint it and wash more carefully. The original paintjob was just lots of raw black primer and simple Cadian Fleshtone skin, and bright blue armor, so I painted it to match my new Skaven skirmish force, which is dark, gritty bare metals. Also, a pair of Stormcast Liberators and my counts-as Paladin Protector, they just need the weapon hafts painted, and then Dark Tone on the armor plates, Strong tone on the Retributor Gold/weapon hafts/parchment/skin, and Biel-Tan green on the cloth/shoulder livery.

I think they look great the way they are! It's nice to see them in original legion colors, too instead of olive green.

Awesome work, Melcavuk! I envy people who can get an army together anymore, I think I'm gonna be stuck in skirmish land for a good while. I really like the gold and black scheme against the blazing of the weapon blades. As I'm not a fan at all of the stock helms, I also like your use of Space Marine helms. Do you have a hard time getting them to fit with the gorgets (neck armor)? I've been thinking of using some MK3 helms for a cuple of my low-fantasy-feel Stormcast, but had been wondering.
