if I decide on the alternative arm I’ll send you the flail.
dont know which models it is though. First the terrain then the models.but I’ve already built one Mulan’s worth of terrain yesterday:
That's a very kind offer.
And woah! Speedy on the terrain! Nice thing with it is it looks quite drybrush friendly, lots of nice raised details. Any clue what sort of colours you might do for it? I've seen cool terrain using incubi darkness as the stone colour instead of the usual grey, though I often go for grey drybrushes myself with stonework on models, it's a good neutral tone.

One day after being proud of my diminished pile of opportunity I can home with this 😂
I'm so in love with the scions of the flame models from that set. Especially when I learnt one could be built with a flaming flail!! Something that I need to source more of so I can convert a hero with one XD (I love flails)

Where does the body come from?
Very good result
Thanks! Body is from the Mantic Giant (A good cheap one for conversions but alas definitely requires some fixing and gap filling... but it's like £25-30 so can't complain too much)
He has 2 options for each arm, 2 heads and a fur shoulder mantle which I ended up cutting up to use on the keeper of secrets conversion. So he's a pretty cool kit tbh.

Hi all,
So I'm considering a little dip into a skaven force (likely just 1k points for now or so) as a fun little project and I'm very much unsure on quite how I'd want to go with them clan wise. I absolutely love the look of the hellpit abomination from Moulder as a cool centerpiece, even if it's not that great, and verminlords also look cool but I believe they can be any clan if I go for one of the masterclan ones as a general. I'm also kind of drawn to Skyre if I don't go for moulder because hamster wheels and big guns could be very fun!
My main worry is with moulder that I might feel a bit restricted option wise if i choose to expand and unfortunatley whilst the giant rats look fine the rat ogors certainly leave something to be desired... though I know these could be converted etc.
Any suggestions for a new potential player? It would be cool to hear how Skyre or Moulder might be able to play in fun ways that don't need to be all that competetive.

So they're literally a month late but I finally got some paint on my kurnoths! (In my defence they're so late partly due to issues trying to undercoat them)
Unfortunately volpus pink does not go great with the root like detailing on the kurnoths, it ends up looking kinda streaky due to how it darkens the recesses! Gonna try adding a pink drybrush to them to see if that will smooth it out a touch. (May be the same on all my sylvaneth but mostly noticeable on these guys as they're like all pink unlike the more fleshy spites) Other than that I need to do their bases and the little seed pods in their stomachs.
Hopefully for december I can try and get sime dryads or something done, but I'm hesitant to make a pledge till something is undercoated at least, as then it'll totally be down to me deadline wise (also gargants keep distracting me)
Edit: Now I'm learning how to airbrush I might even be able to have a crack at Alarielle's giant crab.

From the realm of Chamon my Gargants act as an order of knights... or whatever they consider knights to be. They have fancy helmets basically.
Here is my Kraken Eater with his metal cage instead of a net
I'm working on a warstomper with the Mierce Papaworth the pillager and giving him an imperial knight chainsword. I've also done and still have a variety of mancrushers (will post them another time as still WiP, a nice family photo could be cool!) Including this recent one.
From the Ironoak forests of Chamon strides forth the knight of the woods, a large and imposing creature that almost never speaks allowing her blades to do the talking instead.
Still a little more to do on her but I'm quite happy, definitely a very different look for a giant
The whole force will be quite the eclectic mix of wayward vagabonds.

I've been once again distracted by a new project in realm of metal themed sons of Behemat. Because I'm not the greatest fan of the regular mancrusher gargant it's been a wonderful excuse to dip into some cool different third party models and get nice sculpts I'd otherwise have no use for in order to create a very eclectic tribe
This of course was mostly started by that damn Gargant sale over at Mierce… On the bright side it's not going to be a project that will take too long to complete. I've already got: 2 mega's and 2 mancrushers built and ready with an extra 1 that's WIP. 2 more on the way to me (some lovely Yedharo Models sculpts) and my 6th spot will likely be covered by an ebay rescue I'm winning the bid for. (Will look at getting pics up once more models and bases are built)
Never been this excited for a destruction army 8 models total very much appeals to me for movement phase and unpacking / packing up! Now I have to see if I'll actually get them painted any quicker than the big model projects... (Hopefully once I learn to use our airbrush without clogging it) It's also been pretty great for using up some of my spare chaos/imperial knight bits (hence realm of metal)

This legitimately makes me want to see rainbow stormcast now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm currently struggling to get some more of my DoK built and painted whilst waiting for broken realms to arrive. I'm quite looking forward to playing with some of the changes myself, especially finally getting to have some use out of little morathi. Though we'll see if I get proper things done or get distracted by more AoA ideas

As this is the only Morathi spoiler free part of the forum I’ll be going for some tga goodness here until Saturday 😂
im finishing my lord aquilor tonight! (I hope)
then only the lord arcanum left and after some basing my Stormcast tale is compleet 💪
I'll have to try and make progress this week so that you have something to peruse!
Though finishing that anvil of apotheosis DoK chariot is calling me with the imminent release of Morathi...

Everytime I try to focus down painting an army I end up getting dragged toward a different one for whatever reason *FLIPS PAINTING TABLE*
On the bright side I've built up the warbands from Catacombs and oh boy do I love those models! It's a shame the chaos warbands are so boring in regular AoS because the scions of the flame are absolutely gorgeous! I love the theme of them and how cool their 'hero' dudes look! The shadowstalkers likewise are gorgeous models and the warlocks with the dual crossbows are really great! Will likely use these ones for D&D mini's as well!
I've now got to split my focus between Sylvaneth, Chaos and Daughters of Khaine to try and get at least something painted! And pray to the gods that nothing new threatens to distract me in the meantime (This will totally fail if any new soulblight get announced)
-
I couldn't find a sharpie but here's my sylvaneth pledge for november, keeping it small since I'm working a lot on chaos at the moment and the new DoK updates and boxset may also totally distract me but well as long as I'm getting some sort of hobby done!!

it was me lol. I'm making it a thing!
As gray said, zainthar kai is the new faction and hopefully its a snake based faction, and since Cobra/snake then Cobra Kai!Zainthar Kai never dies!

Same! Would be cool to see the narrative move in such a way and would be nice to really cement Morathi as a big(or rather bigger) player.

working on turning an old genie conversion I did from about four years ago into a right and proper mega gargant, lorewise he’s what happens when Nagash takes the remnant worship of a dead god and mixes it with a bisected gargant in order to steal that worship plus the energies responsible for the Sons of Behemat becoming so huge(just deciding between runnin him as a kraken eater or a gate breaker).
Oh wow Genie Gargants is a super cool idea that I wanna see more of! Very cool.

It's the only way to become a succesful politician it seems. So if it works there, why not here
Drycha seems a pain to built? Or isn't it?
She's fairly chill to build actually, I've left her little body and front piece off to paint separately, as I learnt from my drycha demon prince conversion that that's not easy to paint all stuck together!
Super nice model too.

Getting close boys, girls and elves. Only seven more days to the month.
How's everybody faring?Can I lie and say I've painted 70 billion armies?
Okay so in reality October has been a terrible month for me hobby wise thanks to the wonderful distractions of video games (namely Balders Gate 3 and Black Desert) And then I also kind of got distracted painting a hellcannon up for my StD AoA hero...
I do at least have a drycha built and a bunch of dryads secondhand that I'm hoping to begin doing some work on for November.
I am loving seeing everyone else's submissions though, helps remind and inspire me about this project!

Made some progress on my AoA chaos lord that will be mounted atop a hellcannon. Hellcannon has been sprayed and will need painting soon then will need to do crew.
Not too happy with how the face came out but it will do, it's fine for tabletop quality at least, gotta finish her cloak still.
-
My 5 spites and 1 arch revenant I managed for september. Going away for a week, will post a new pledge when I get back! Probably going to be drycha and 5 more spites.
Technically still need to do the base rims but focusing on getting models painted first really.

My lady of chaos, who will have options to be mounted atop a hellcannon or on foot. Still trying to work out how I want to build her warscroll. She'll need a little cleaning up when she's dried but hopefully all should look pretty cool in the end
(EDIT): Made some changes so edited this to avoid double post, she will be removed from the rocks when all greenstuff is dried to be able to be put on her mount or on foot.

sadly you Are Right...
Maybe it‘s just me, Bit it feels bad that this force is almost 2k points... feels like 1400 pts to me
mhm...
I am currently trying to build an army I can use in any Chaos Battletome by just adding some Battletome specific units/battalions. But damn S2D are do expensive for what little they do in the board
Unless you're running knights of the empty throne you might wanna drop one of those varanguard units for some extra heroes? As they can help in battleplans (and more aura's flying around)
-
This month I would ideally *fingers crossed* like to build an anvil of apotheosis hero or two for my slaves to darkness. I would also like to finish a squad of chaos knights and finalize my colour scheme.

I've not managed to get my dad to help teach me to use the airbrush yet this month so looks like Alarielle won't be finished yet. On the bright side I've totally finished and based my 5 revenants and arch revenant so that's still a good starting pledge
Will get pics soon!

Exactly! this one I did in June. But then got frustrated with them. So left the other two unpainted. Now I have 5 on the painting desk.
Also you say progress... those decimators were 90% finished last month 😅
Oh basing is always such a love/hate thing for me. are you thinking bright blue water or more sea green/black water?
I love how colourful that is!!! And don't knock it on the decimators
Progress is progress, no matter how small.
Bright blue which deepens into a darker blue as it hits deep parts, gonna be using living city as my army on parade this year which will include some of my sylvies, so gotta take board placement into consideration for some of them. I've kind of fallen in love with basing a bit after seeing some of Vince Venturello's videos on it, built up bases look so good when finished that they feel worth the hassle to me.

Is it just me btw? For some reason the 10th and 20th somehow became mini deadlines due to this project 😂
The good ol' fun of multiple month deadlines
I can't say I can match your progress this month but I have now built my arch revenant and my spite revenants with some tricorns, hoping to get them sprayed up tomorrow morning and potentially some paint on them in the evening. Need to sort out my bases too, decide if I want them on the beach or in the water!
What colour scheme are you planning for your aetherwings? They seem like a fun unit to be able to splash out different complimenting colours you don't normally have on your regular troops

Well december has been slow for multiple reasons... especially the recent addition of skaven to my collection of armies... whoops
Buuut the hermit crab is now ready for round 1 of airbrushing to put some colourful markings upon the limbs. Then it will be ready the shell with a glossy black to airbrush my colour shift paints onto.
