  1. What a fantastic idea. The page themselves are a really interesting way of building up the project and showcasing ideas, I will certainly give it a crack, thank you! It would be nice to see more of these appear, each covering some of the fantastic warbands that other people on the forums are creating.

    The Triumvirates are also a good thing to think about when forging the stories as no-one works alone. You've got me really thinking now :)

    [update] I just noticed that you are planning on adding yours to the Hinterlands document. They will make a fantastic addition to an already essential download!

  2. List building was one of the things that eventually put me off 40k and much earlier, WFB, too. It took me a while to come to terms with the base AoS system of no points, no limits... but now I'm used to it, it allows for much more thematic forces, which I'm enjoying. Much like your book, I was thinking of turning each unit into a postcard sized sheet instead of the A4 ones for easier tracking in games and easy to store in little boxes for transport

  3. A quick check of what paints are on my table (always a sure fire way to see what I've been painting with over the last month or three), the only colour that is anywhere near is a few layers of thinned Thunderhawk Blue over a black undercoat. There would have been targetted washes of black to darken some areas as well.

    You're both right, gold would work well in place of the silver. I may try that on the Celestant if I ever get around to painting up the AoS starter set in the same scheme

     

  4. The two colours that I dislike painting are black and white as both are really easy to make look like grey instead of the intended colours. Your blacks look great, but I'm loving your skin tones and nmm. I'll have to give that painting technique a go at some point.

    I've found nmm works well on small bits, or weapons, but trying to do multiple plates next to each other is  really easy to make look confusing. I made the mistake of trying to do full plate armour in nmm as an early experiment. It did not go well ;) as the lighting/alignment was slightly off on a few plates, which made it really stand out
