    Looking great, congrats!

    Just a quick question for you. Which parts did you paint separately and then assemble post-painting?

    About to start building one myself and just wondering about the practicalities of getting to all those hard to reach areas.

    I assembled the full carriage thing, which was fine for me because I didn't want to paint all the interiors. I also put the wheels on, which in hinsight I shouldn't have! Otherwise the full celestial assembly was seperate- the rings, the mount  and the cage thing in the middle was all separate. If you do want to paint the interiors, just leave all parts separate for painting- they will assemble easy enough if you either scrape paint off the glue contact points or use superglue.

    Great idea for having multiple cities as well. I just had it in my head for one type but that may change. 
    The army looks fantastic. 

    Yeah i think it's the greatest strength of the book is we can have a Tzeentch rivalling magic army in hallowheart, a destruction rivalling smash and bash army in hammerhal and a skryre rivalling shooting army in Greywater. Getting a whole mix of units makes it a pretty fun process of list building and making interesting mixes of all 3 elements. I mean it's not top tier for any of those, though i think Hallowheart can definitely win tournaments, but it's so much fun mixing all these heroes and units!

    You are suggesting that an army that is already overperforming should become cheaper? O.o
     

    I think not.

    Most of these are for units that are underused in competitive play though? I disagree with clanrats and all the skryre changes though- doomwheels can cut through almost any unit right now when they're properly buffed up!

    How you do this gore stretching everywhere?

    Get some UHU glue like this: 

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/UHU-All-Purpose-Adhesive-125ml/dp/B013Z3E4Q4/ref=asc_df_B013Z3E4Q4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=223170773229&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15528981230115978368&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045888&hvtargid=pla-441489672426&psc=1

    This stuff is like gel- i squirt some onto a board then use a toothpick to pick some up and stick to one part of the model. Then using the toothpick, drag the blob across to another part of the model. The glue goes quite firm within a minute, making it really easy to work with. Wait a few hours for it to properly dry and harden (though it never actually hardens, it's always slightly stretchy), then coat in blood for the blood god, or Nurgles Rot if that's your think!

    OP didn't mention it, so just for clarity he's using a textured rolling pin made by a company called greenstuffworld.

    Spot on! I recommend them, though you need a hell of a lot of green stuff for a whole army. I've got 2 meters of the stuff and that should just about do it!

    yeah, it's great stuff. Admittedly, I had never thought of using it for basing, I have to try that some time.

    That Terrorgheist base is remarkable, an excellent use of the ruins!

    Thanks- it's about halfway done. I'll post an update pic soon- some skeletons and dead bodies on the floor and larger penants/flags draped on the floor too. I risk going overboard with green stuff everywhere!
