Title: Chronicles of the Brush: For the Greater Good
Post by: Myen'Tal on June 4, 2018, 07:25:48 PM
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Most of the images in this thread no longer display correctly due to a change in the forum!

You can still load each blank image if you click on them!

I will be changing the image format so that they will display correct from now on - beginning somewhere on page 20 - if you have the standard page count (or long, can't remember which one I'm on lol)



So it begins... with the dabbing of an ink feather upon the page of a dusted tome. You are the meek ones that wonder and observe, purposed with an undying task of cataloging the ambitions of high-minded societies, enigmatic horrors, and brutish and rampaging hordes... So shall we begin?

Welcome, everyone from all corners of the world to my Project Log. All visitors, from the humble beginner to the seasoned veterans of the forum, I hope you guys enjoy your stay and like the content you should see coming in the near future! After a number of requests to try my hand in 40konline's storied Project Logs (granted, those requests were a couple months ago :P), I decided that I would surprise everyone and actually start one! I have given over to peer pressure ;D!

So... I've long been contemplating what my first project would actually be and what I intended for it. I tossed around the idea of starting with 40000 for one year, then moving onto Age of Sigmar, or vice-versa, or a combination of both.

You can see from the thread subject that the Idoneth Deepkin stole away the other factions' envoys into the depths of the great oceans. So, let's summarize:

PROJECT I:
Faction: Idoneth Deepkin
Points: 2000
Conclave: Mor'Phann
Army Composition: Balanced, all-comers list. (Nope, decided against the all-cavalry force, but maybe one day!!!)

Current Status: I don't have anything painted at the moment, as the Chronicle is only just beginning... But!! I thought I'd show some pictures of me gathering my army and building the models, and acquiring supplies! Rest assured, I'll have everything I need to begin probably sometime next week!

So here is the Wave of my Idoneth, plus a small band of Ironjawz!

Welcome to the Projects MyenTal!

I'm stoked that you've decided to work on Idoneth Deepkin, because it's part of the reason why my Plog has been quiet for the past few weeks...the models are terrific and I'm sure you'll enjoy painting them. That said, one or two of the fits for the Eel riders is a little bit taxing, while the flying bases will likely have you swearing until you're blue in the face.

Best of luck bud, I'm looking forward to following this with great interest.

Thanks, Loosh :D!

I didn't realize you were also working on Idoneth, that's awesome! Cannot wait to see them in your log! Hmm, surprised that the Eel riders are a little difficult to work with, they seemed simple from the screenshots I've seen. Guess I'll find that out in a little bit. Another reason that I should get those citadel tweezers!

I'm also really looking forward to this project, as I've anticipated doing it for what seems like forever now ;D.

EDIT: After assembling a pair of the Akhelian Guard, I can confirm that some areas of the model are pretty finicky! Kind of glad I'm not doing that all cavalry force now ;D.

Finished building my first unit of Akhelian Guard. Not the simplest models to assemble, but it felt good to complete the models!

Added some unit images below. Please tell me how the lighting is, if the light is bright, then I'll adjust and tone it down. Also how does one name image links again?

They look great MyenTal. They are tricky to work with. Most things fall into place really nicely, but I've really struggled on a couple getting the rider seated and the reins to line up. Part of the problem of painting in subsections and then building I guess.

Just don't talk to me about the reins on the Akhelian King. I may well end up snipping them off entirely!

Added some unit images below. Please tell me how the lighting is, if the light is bright, then I'll adjust and tone it down. Also how does one name image links again?

I'd say that the light is just from the wrong direction at the moment. With the light source behind the models, a lot of the detail gets lost. The images are nice and sharp, but parts are underexposed. Move the light around, or better, have multiple sources of light, to find the best results. Can't help with the image links I'm afraid...I'm a Flikr man!

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing some paint on these guys. The Deepkin are beyond awesome models... and the Eel Riders are the coolest dudes of them all. I cant wait to some of their bits are available on ebay. I've got some kitbash ideas for my Eldar.

Thanks for joining the paint squad Myental glad to have you aboard! Great updates so far. Cant wait for more

For imgur, on a mobile phone, press and hold on the image, an option will come up, select share image link. Copy it to your clipboard. Then when your typing your post put in square brackets IMG followed by /IMG in square brackets with your link pasted in between.

Sweet models by the way. Really psyched on following this project.

Thanks for all of the encouragements and advice guys. Before I get started next week, I do have an important question that will impact my paint process for my Mor'phann. So for the Akhelian Skintone, I was planning on priming them white, then layering with Flayed One Flesh, followed with a highlight of Wych flesh. The scheme I'm going for with the eels however, would be best primed with Mehanicus Standard Grey. Do you guys think I could still achieve a fair look to the skin if I based first with the new Ionrach Skin, then layering on the Flayed One Flesh?

EDIT: Another model built, this time the Akhelian King. Which I made some modeling mistakes on, with me using the normal king torso instead of Volturnous' XP. Oh well, I still like him well enough! ;)

I really want these models too, but just can't afford them right now. As for the question at hand, I use white primer for all brightly colored models and black for dark. I haven't used grey primer on models in years, only on my hotrods. Water based craft paints work differently for me, I prefer black primer and layer darker to lighter shades to acheive brighter colors. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, Dread, that should really help me out :)! I definitely agree that Idoneth aren't the cheapest army to start. I thought I could purchase everything I needed to start painting by next week, but after calculating the cost, I'm going to have to choose between Paint/Supplies and new models XP. I think I'm going to buy all of my Namarti units tomorrow... we'll see how it goes.

Quick update: The Akhelians answer the summons of the Enclave! Rumors abound that the final kinband to arrive from the moonlit shores of Gloom Haven has failed to arrive due to some inconceivably minor slight (Haven't gotten around to them!) Akehlian King Annith-hain the Scarred, rides on without them, knowing that his erstwhile and eager cousins shall not be able to resist a heroic intervention from the shadows at the last possible moment (They're on their way!)

Akhelians ride into battle! (https://imgur.com/mETXXeb)

 Kinband of the Glimmer Shoal (https://imgur.com/KPg06DM)

Beneath the depths of the great Void Rift Sea, an eerie chant echoes from within the Great Mor'phann enclave of Ebonspire. From labyrinthine Palaces of moon-touched quicksilver and volcanic obsidian, great schools of the Akhelian Warriors swarm through the great rift toward the surface. A legion of countless thousands of namarti slaves cut through the frozen depths with their High Born masters, the sweep of their weapons through razor-finned schools synced with the rhythmic pulse of the war drums. Beneath the heart of the Gloom Haven Phalanx, perhaps something even more ancient than the great city itself stirs upon the ocean floor.

Army Name:

Gloom Haven Sentinels

Allegiance: Idoneth Deepkin
 - Enclave: Mor'Phann

LEADERS
Vulturnos, High King of the Deep (King Annith'hain the Scarred One)
- General

Isharann Soulrender (Ithiryn Void-Caller)

Isharann Soulscryer (Atannis the Radiant One)

UNITS
3 x Akhelian Morrsarr Guard (The Shadow-Shoal Reavers)
3 x Akhelian Morrsarr Guard (Sentinels of the Mor'khaine Temple)

20 x Namarti Thralls (The Oathbound)
20 x Namarti Thralls (The Silent Vigil)
10 x Namarti Reavers (The Bleak Watchers)
10 x Namarti Reavers (The Black-Bane Kindred)

BATTALIONS
Namarti Corps

NOTE: You might be seeing another Akheian King become the new Annith'hain, as I made some mistakes with the first model, because I decided to just go by eyesight instead of reading the directions :P.

Looking good man. Love the little descriptions too, really well written. Just saw the Deepkin in person for the first time yesterday and just loved the models. Also too bad about not following the instructions. Doing commission painting for a living I can tell you... I have to follow instructions on even the simplest minis as there are so many weird little bits these days. That being said the instructions are very easy to follow. Anyway looking forward to seeing some paint on these guys! Looking good!

@Cavalier: Hey thanks man, I'm stoked that you like what I've built so far! The models are truly amazing, you won't regret getting some of those Idoneth bits ;D! Cannot wait to see what you do with them. I'm not sure when I'll start painting, but the plan is to begin in the next couple of weeks or so, but it just depends on a couple of factors. Glad you like the backstory I'm weaving into the army. Might add some more when I actually get them on the table! :)

Thanks, Ynnead, that means a lot! ;D

An ill wind stirs from the granite maw of the Abyssal Pit, a bleak squall that reeks of the earthy scent of death and decay. The Deathless God's ire piques with untamed rage, and the ominous wind that flutters through the ocean depths becomes a vicious squall that shreds flesh from bone. As the Grand Halls of Ebonspire endure the unnatural storm, a legion of Gheists and forlorn, lost spirits surge upon the undersea currents in an effort to drown the Idoneth Deepkin beneath an endless tide of the enslaved and the tortured.

As Ebonspire withstands legions beyond count, Annith'hain commands the Gloom Haven Host to establish a beachhead upon the shores of Shyish. It was upon the Shore of Old Incanth that Annith'hain pledged his friendship and honor-pact with Lord Arcanum Tibalt Von Saarland of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer Sancrosanct Chamber, creating the Ebon Pact Alliance... but as Sigmar Heldenhammer extends aid with one hand, the other shall soon bring down the hammerstrike of vengeance.

A vengeance often heralded with a storm that gleams both polished gold and oceanic blue...


(TLDR: Soul Wars is coming! Anvils of the Heldenhammer for the Stormcasts, not sure about the Nighthaunt yet as I haven't seen their background. Hammers of Sigmar take up arms against Specter and soul-stealer!)

Funny you mention that, Cav! I may have jumped the gun a little, but I'm rethinking my strategy on Soul Wars. I'll postpone the new Starter Set and just get the books and stuff, and put that money towards some paint and supplies instead. You're right, that's too many minis to paint! ;D, Hopefully, I'll be able to start actually painting sometime this weekend. Fingers crossed!

I echo Cav though...get some paint on some of these bad boys. They have stacks of details to paint and I wouldn't want to see you get burnt out because you have too much bare plastic to paint!

Quick Update:

So the Akhelian Guard are almost ready for some painting sessions (Almost, I think I'm going to increase my Ishlaen Guard to six models). I've received orders for most of my miscellaneous supplies a couple days ago, but now I am just waiting on the Paints and Brushes to ship out from the Warstore (Along with the Citadel Paint Handle!). Not sure when it's going to ship because I ordered a *lot* of supplies that I'll need to tackle my entire Idoneth Army.

You can bet that I'll keep you guys updated as things progress. Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about the project ;D!

At long last, I have taken great strides to paint my first model in three years! All comments and critique is welcome, just be gentle ;). I will say that I did buy the Soul Wars box set and that kind of delayed me in getting started on painting, as I wanted to prime the Stormcast and Idoneth in one go with some black primer. Also please note that the coastal base is not yet finished. Still have to apply the realistic water effects!

EDITED!: Thank you, SeekingOne!

I'm using Imgur all the time - it's the only resource that works well for me. But I use it from PC - its smartphone app does something silly with uploading images.

Thing is, you don't want to make "Posts" in Imgur. Instead, in your profile you have to go to the "Images" page that looks like this:
(https://i.imgur.com/cHPNAjG.png)

If it's empty, you click "Add Images" and upload an image. Then you click on an added image and get the following screen:
(https://i.imgur.com/MRvTQw7.png)
You click on the blue button "Copy" beside the field labelled "BBCode (message boards and forums)" (the one that I highlighted with a red box) - it will copy a BBcode that you then simply paste into you forum post, and that's it.

Thanks guys, that means a lot ;D! I think I need a little more patience when applying thin layers onto the model when it doesn't cover well. You can kind of see on the skin that a little bit of the detail got lost. So I'm going to be a bit more careful on the other models.

Being patient with thin layers/bad coverage of paint is probably the hardest thing to do imho. I'm forever regretting moments when the first layer doesn't go on as I'd like and then I'm like 'maybe I'll just do a slightly thicker coat....why God...whhhyyyyyy??!!!!'

As it is, I think you've done a good job. The palette that you've chosen is excellent. The vibrancy of the pink especially draws the eye in well. Everything else being muted acts as a perfect counterpoint.

Really nice start Myen'Tal....now, where did I put my Reavers...

Thanks for the compliments, Loosh, and thanks for the advice too, I'll have to use some extra temperance to let the paint dry ;D. I admit, I still really love the Fuethan color scheme, but I agree that there is a subtle dark beauty to the Mor'Phann that I too find really cool.

Work-In-Progress:

Having finished the test model some few weeks ago, I have now started the assembly line for getting these guys painted, five at a time. They still have a few rough spots that need neatening up, their gems haven't been worked on yet, and the bases are still bare... but they are nearing completion ;D.

On another note, I am going to have find a different method of shading the skin then the Drakenhof Nightshade I am using. I do thin down the nightshade with lahmian medium, but the shade is still way too dark. It's not that noticeable on the male Reavers, but on the female variants, the shade is a bit harsher. I think I am going to switch out the nightshade for some Gulliman Blue for the next Reavers I paint.

I ran into the same problem, as nightshade was just too dark, so I put a lot more Lahmian in the mix, then did a thin coat of pallid wych flesh on to. I also ran across someone that basically turned fenrisian grey to a shade, I might try that on a thrall.

I should note that I undercoat in white though.

Still they look great :)

Actually if you're still looking for a good shade, I think Gulliman Blue Glaze is what I'm going to experiment with next. I think that's what the heavy metal team uses for their Namarti.

And thanks for the compliments :D.

I like the way the highlighting is done on the robes/capes! I'll have to give that a try. Looking solid so far.

Thanks, Blazinghand, I don't think I even intended for the cloaks to come out that way. They kind of look like they're made of water and that's super cool 8). If you're interested in how I did the cloak. It's basically Stegadon Scale Green, followed with a heavy wash of Nuln Oil, then the raised areas are brightened back up with Stegadon Scale Green, then a highlight on the higher folds with Russ Grey, then a final highlight of Fenrisian Grey.

Looking great! I like the way you've based the finished one as well!

Thanks, Squid, I'm actually following a YouTube tutorial for the basing, but I think it's turned out very well too. I was a bit hesitant because I thought I'd muck it up, but it's actually come out quite decently ;D.

well if you want to give the fenrisian grey a shot, here is what happened from my testing on my thralls with a 50/50 mix lahmian. The one on the left has a had a thin layer of pallid wych flesh.

Huh, that actually looks great :D! I think I will give this a shot! It seems similar to the effect that Guilliman Blue has, but this one seems a bit more subtle and still complements the Namarti quite well. Did you thin it with just lahmian medium?

Cheers. Yeah just the medium, probably more medium than paint as I didn't measure it. I do like the lighter effect it has over nightshade as well :)

Thanks, Loosh, glad you like them! I'm also liking the way the test base turned out. And the cloaks look way cooler in reality than I imagined them. Whoever created the Mor'Phann scheme made a great choice :). On a side note, I decided to follow your advice and grab some of the White Dwarf Magazines for more inspiration for painting my Akhelian Guard. I haven't touched them yet because I'm not sure yet how to tackle them. Hopefully, this will teach me a few tricks!

@Everyone: Thank you everyone for the comments and feedback, you guys are really inspiring me to keep this going ;D! On a side note, I purchased one box of Namarti Thralls and two boxes of Allopexes... based on the decision that I want to try Allopexes in my list! I'm going to finish the Reaver squad in full before I move on to the next unit.

Here is the current list that I have (which may or may not be a little Magenb influenced ;D.

UNITS:
10 x Namarti Thralls
10 x Namarti Thralls

Sweet list :)

I had a quick game just using the Namarti Corps, Bretonian knights cleanout out a 10 man squad on charge, it might be worth having a 20 man squad of thralls, not sure if it will workout in the battleshock phase though.

Yeah, that's something I've taken into consideration. I'll probably experiment between 20 / 10 man squads and 10 / 10 / 10 man squads.

The Namarti are a bit fragile on their own, but I think the Namarti Corps will become much tougher with the extra strength of support units. A Leviadon is going to make nearby Namarti more durable, but once you add in some more akhelian units (and even the leviadon himself), you can set up some devastating counter charges that can punish your opponent (if the dice gods will it!).

 I imagine if that unit of Bretonnian Knights charged and cleared out a bunch of Namarti, a group of semi-nearby Akhelians can easily close the gap, get in a charge, add in the extra damage from their successful charge, then pop the Bio-voltaic spear for the game, they could probably chew on that unit (and there is also the Fangmora Eels' bite!). That's what I plan to use my Morsaar Guard for. The Allopexes will also serve as a close range threat. Harassing enemies with the 2-3 damage (Cannot remember which one) Retarius Net Launchers, before they slip into the back of some crucial combats and hopefully deal in some good blows. Then like the Morsaar Guard, I plan for them to slip back in and out until the foe crumbles.

Doubt it'll work like that in practice :P, but the plan has to begin somewhere!

 The Akhelian Allopexes or the Leviadon could easily do the same I think. As an alternative, Ishlaen Guard can become your anvil for the Namarti to lay down some hammer blows of their own.

I am also really curious about the performance of the Allopexes :D. I've been on the fence about these guys for a little while, but I'm thinking I underestimated their value in my initial impression of them. I have high hopes for them now, plus the models look so cool! Not sure when I'll get around to playing a game though. I think I want to finish my force first, unless one of my friends come up and visit for a game, in which case them being unpainted doesn't really matter.

I'll definitely share my experience with them either way ;D!

Update time! Gloom Haven Assembles! ;D I'm actually kind of annoyed by own clumsiness. While trying to take a picture I managed to drop a Lochian Prince and break him off of his base... now neither plastic glue or super glue with reseat him back on it. Guess I'm switching him out for the Ishlean Prince for now! Also, I do not know whose grand design was it to create how some of the Namarti Reaver models go together, but some of them are super frustrating. I managed to complete another squad last night, but I've managed to completely destroy one of the Reavers... leaving me with 9 >:(. So I'll have to find someway to replace that too.

Other than that, the only units still missing from the list is one more unit of Namarti Thralls, and a Leviadon Turtle. That's it!

Also I finished six Reavers so far!

Reavers are looking good there mate.

They are not the easiest thing to the put together, especially the ones you have 3 pieces for the bottom half. Maybe there is a way to salvage the model with a bit of creative basing, like they are riding a wave in :)

It is sounding like he is not sticking to the seat? I'm assuming you have already removed any bits of dried glue and scratched some of the under coat away at contact points so the plastic glue can do its thing. So "pinning" might be an option.

Post by: Myen'Tal on July 31, 2018, 10:00:05 PM
Thanks for the compliments and the advice, Mage, it is appreciated ;D. Yeah, it was one of the Reavers with like the three piece lower body. Too many of the details kind of got melted by the glue, so I'm just going to see if I find something in the bitz stores. As for the Akhelian, he didn't break off of his seat, but the piece where the mount is joined to the clear plastic rod attached to the base. Tried scraping away the glue and melted plastic, but unfortunately, it's much more difficult on the actual plastic rod itself. Will probably just order a new base I think.

OK that's not too bad, you can still make something on the base itself to work around it. You could do a rock sticking out of the water (google the twelve apostles Australia), or it could be riding a giant wave, that would look awesome :)

Good ideas, Mage, though I might be too lazy to capitalize on them ;). I'll think upon what I want to do with that Prince. The worst case scenario, I just end up buying another plastic rod and base. :)

Thank you, Cavalier, I'm glad that you like them! Wouldn't say I've been holding out, just never really put this kind of effort into my painting before. All of the years spent acquiring knowledge from youtube seems to have paid off somewhat! ;D

Battle Report:

So I have finally gotten in my first game of Age of Sigmar... and it was quite a learning experience! It was a 2 vs 2 game of 1700 Points, it was kind of half Open Play, half matched play and I'll explain why. First off, everyone agreed that each faction had free access to all of the endless spells, just to experiment with them. One side consisted of Legions of Nagash and Idoneth Deepkin (me!), while the other consisted of Khorne Bloodbound and Grand Alliance Chaos Skaven.

We didn't really go over the list used, but here is how I remember them.

Bloodbound:

1x Bloodsecrator
2x Slaughter Priests
1x Khorne Lord on Juggernaught (General)
20x Bloodreavers
20x Bloodreavers
15x Blood Warriors
1x Khorgorath
5x Wrathmongers
5x Skull Reapers

Skaven:

Lots of Clanrats
15x Stormvermin
x20 Plague Monks
1x Skaven Warlord
1x Warp Engineer
1x Warlock
1x Warp lightning cannon

Legions of Nagash:
1x Nagash
1x Necromancer
1x Banshee
-Lots of Zombies (like 60!)
-5 Hexwraiths
-8x Glaivewraith Stalkers
-20 Skeletons

Deepkin:

1x Soulrender
1x Tidecaster
1x Allied Lord Arcanum of Gryph Charger
10x Namarti Thralls
10x Namarti Thralls
10x Namarti Reavers
10x Namarti Reavers
1x Allopex
1x Allopex
6x Morssar Guard


Deployment:

So we rolled off for the mission and decided on the Total Commitment Battle plan. Four objectives placed on the right and left-most quadrants of the table. No objectives in the center of the table. My Deepkin faced off against the Khorne Bloodbound, while the Death forces lined up against the skaven. On my side of the map was a fortress of sorts, with an Ocularum between me and the Khornates. Lots of terrain on the board, I was able to borrow a Gloomtide Shipwreck that placed in two spots along the board's center.

Here, I made my first mistake. I deployed my Reavers as the frontline so I harry the foe as they charged forward... not that grandest idea ;D. Behind them were two lines of Namarti, because the board was somewhat crowded and I wanted to deploy within the ruined fortress. The allopex were placed on the right flank to reinforce Nagash's flank, while the Morssar Guard were placed on the left flank.

Turn 1:

The Deepkin-Death alliance won the first turn and decided to go first... another mistake, as we could really cast no magic except mystic shield. Mystic Shield failed to go off on the Eel Riders, but did manage to get it off on the Lord Arcanum. On the left flank, Bloodreavers anchored the Khorne Bloodbound, backed up with a Slaughter Priest and a Bloodsecrator behind them. So I considered an alpha strike to crumble that flank and hopefully push into the Bloodsecrator.

The first squad of Reavers unleashed the first salvo of their aimed fire, but the other squad was out of range. The Reavers picked off three Bloodreavers, not bad for 10 shots. I made another mistake here and got too aggressive with my Akhelians. The Morrsar Guard raced up the flank and made their charge on a 9. I was able to surround many of the Blood Reavers and get a pair of Akhelians on the Slaughter Priest. 6 Blood Reavers were hacked down by the Volt-Spears, the Fanged Maws whiffed unfortunately however, but the lashing tails inflicted 3 damage on the Slaughter Priest.

As for Death, the Zombies moved forward. The Hexwraiths also alpha striked and cut down the Plague Monks to like 6-8 models.

At the end of our turn, we scored 2 Victory points.

On the Bloodbound turn, the Bloodsecrator popped his banner and the Wrathmongers and Blood Reavers countered charged my Akhelians. The Reavers inflicted negligible damage, and some of the Khornate Prayers managed to outright kill of their elite number. The slaughter Priest also swung and inflicted 2 wounds. What the Reavers and Priest could not achieve, the buffed up Wrathmongers obliterated in one attempt. Akhelians are no. Lesson learned :P.

Turn 2-and-onward summary:

The Namarti Reavers managed to pick off several models throughout turns 2-3, a 2-and-a-half blood warriors, and like 3 more reavers. Some my archers were cut off by a nasty command ability that allowed the Blood Reavers to charge in my own hero phase and fight. That 10 man unit was wiped out. So I backed off my other reaver squad to sit under the Gloomtide Shipwreck and harrow the enemy from there.

As if that Bloodbound trick was not enough, another command ability lured one of my Namarti Thralls out into the open toward the Bloodsecrator, allowing them to be charged by the Skullreapers. That 10 man unit was also wiped out without getting a chance to fight back. My other Thrall Unit cut down the Blood Reavers without breaking a sweat or loosing anyone and also dragged two-and-half wrathmongers down with them.

My Magic phase was pretty much non-existent thanks to the Bloodbound's ability to resist any magic. The lord arcanum got off an arcane bolt and blasted the Khorgorath for 2 wounds.

The Allopexes were committed too early, their net launchers did zero damage and one of them was outright killed before he could even strike. The surviving allopex managed to chomp down two Blood Warriors though. My initial plan was to rescue the Akhelians with them, but the Akhelians were already slain, so the Allopexes were caught out of position.

The Tidecaster literally did nothing the entire game, but the Lord Arcanum, surrounded by a unit of 20 Blood Reavers, popped each of his three soul flasks, then made his attacks, killing 14 Blood Reavers by himself in one turn 8).

Eventually the Deepkin were overwhelmed and routed on turn 3, but the Nagash proved too strong for the remaining skaven and Bloodbound. Whatever died on the death side simply came back again from the Graveyards or Nagash's command abilities until the Skaven, who had killed probably twice their number, where just whittled away into nothing. The Lightning Cannon claimed the lives of the Necromancer, and then the Banshee sitting on the Death objective later in the game. Most of the stormvermin were dead before the battle on that side of the board became really embroiled.

The Bloodbound did what they could to stem the tide of zombies, but in the end, our team could not be forced off enough objectives, so we won 19-to-17 Victory points.

Sounds like an interesting game. That command ability to allow a unit to charge and fight in the Hero phase seems a bit over the top. The death version at least needs a high roll to fight twice.

Ah, I said it was a command ability, I think it was because he spent a certain amount of Blood Tithe points, special currency the Bloodbound get for units being killed.

By the way, Mage, I think what you said about the Namarti Thralls needing more than the minimal unit is completely correct. Whatever specialized Bloodbound units managed to charge my 10 man Namarti units, all of the Namarti died within the turn the charge was made. I could never use my soulrender's command ability because all of the Namarti squads hit were already hewn down to the last man...

In other words, I think I'm going to have to rethink my list a bit... Probably less Akhelians and more Namarti, Isharann Heroes that can buff them, and probably an Eidolon, Aspect of the Storm. I'm trying to decide between what Akhelian unit I bring in, or if I should bring any. I might save them for an all akhelian Fuethan list one day.

Here is the list that I am thinking about:

Allegiance: Idoneth Deepkin - Mortal Realm: Hysh
 - Enclave: Mor'Phann

LEADERS

Isharann Soulrender
- General
- Command Trait : Born From Agony
- Artefact : Aetherquartz Brooch

Eidolon of Mathlann, Aspect of the Storm
- Artefact : Mirrored Cuirass

Isharann Tidecaster
- Lore of the Deeps : Freezing Mists (Mor'Phann Tidecasters)

Lotann, Warden of the Soul Ledgers

UNITS
30 x Namarti Thralls
20 x Namarti Thralls
10 x Namarti Reavers
10 x Namarti Reavers
2 x Akhelian Allopexes

BATTALIONS
Namarti Corps

Thanks, Mage, it looks and feels quite a bit different than I initially imagined they would, since I originally wanted to do Fuethan' or Nautilar. But I'm actually really digging the Mor'Phann scheme now that I'm seeing it realized as I paint them. Glad that you think I'm capturing that gloom appearance, as that is what I'm going for 100% ;D! I think I'll eventually end up doing the Fuethan scheme anyway for a Themed Akhelian Corp I'm thinking about. But that's for after I complete this force and make some headway into the Nighthaunt and Sancrosanct Chamber.

Out of curiosity, what did you think of the list I made in the battle report post? Do you think the Allopexes should be in that list? Or should I go all Thralls and Leaders?

Thanks, Dread, glad that you are liking them ;D! As for the bases, I think I am going to go for same method as I did for the Reavers, though it might be a bit tougher because the robes are longer on the Thralls than they are on the Reavers. The real hurtle I think is painting the Tidal-Wave cloak on the Eidolon :D, I'm going to try and get that model sometime next week I think. That or more Thralls!

Hmm, that's a good question! I've never done something like creating an actual table before, let alone a display one. I think I would try to make a sandy beach that matches my basing, and have all of the Namarti kind of wading through the tide along the shoreline to kind of meld their bases in. Not certain how successful that would be, but it would be an idea.

Honestly, if I was going to do a display board, then I think I would not even make the sand part of the bases for all the Akhelians Riders and the Eidolon. I would just make an ocean base, like they're riding the waves \ exploding from the sea. I think I might try to do that for my akhelians ;D!

What do you think?

Grain of salt as I haven't had many games and have not used them at all, but I'm not sold on how useful Allopexes are, on paper, they don't seem to be very good at either shooting or close combat. In other systems a unit like this would be tanky, but Akhelian Ishlaen guard are tankier and generate almost twice the number of wounds on average. I have a lot oghosts in my area so rend, isn't as big a factor.


I need to go over the rules again, but I think it might be possible to take the High Elf Frostbird thing and the turtle. Thats a good chunk of your army that becomes hard to kill.



Another thing I'm consider is the corps battalion. Without it, the soulrender is still returning an average of 5 models a turn. Freeing up 100 points to play with, you could run a second soulrender and give yourself more room to manuver on the board, or run 30 thralls instead of 20, etc. I'll try and get a couple of games in this weekend, but they will be low point games so, will see what I can come up with.

Well, I'll try it out sometime, but with my current living situation, I don't have much room to make a table ;). But it wouldn't hurt to just sketch some stuff out, I suppose :).

I agree with you on the Allopex, but I think I'll try them out a couple more times before I make a decision on them. I think I didn't use them well at all in that game I played. I committed them too early, and also I think that they work better in larger units if you're taking multiples of them. I took 2 Allopexes in two different squads. So instead of having them attack together in one unit, I was forced to choose one and let the other one get hacked apart before it could attack :P.

But like I said, I agree, Ishlean Guard are the same price as an Allopex, and they can do much more than the Allopex can. I think I will try and either get the Eidolon next or some more Akhelians so that I can swap out Ishlean / Morrsar Guard at will.

I also like your idea of dropping the Namarti Corps battalion. Could definitely use those points elsewhere like you said. So I'll keep experimenting with that.

I can't recommend enough adding in morsar guard. Those eels are probably one of the strongest heavy Calvary unit in the game. Also,they look amazing.

I like the Morrsar Guard for the same reasons, problem is that they only have that insane damage output on the charge. So you have to charge in, and then spend another turn to cycle out for another charge, but then again the Tides of Battle rule kind of helps mitigate that somewhat. I think I will give these guys another try ;D.

Post by: Lord of Winter and War on August 10, 2018, 08:16:30 AM
Their bioshock blast can also cripple a unit too, especially in a large squad. It's a great tool to keep tucked away in case they are charged. But, not very many units in the game can survive a charge from Morsar guard, and they are so fast, that you can often plonk them into any target you wish.

If you listen to the honest Wargamer podcast, they recently had a show which was a rundown on just that unit. Certainly something with my Skaven, I'm unsure how to tackle.

I'll stick with the Mor'Phann color scheme, because I have grown to like it a lot. But right now the coin toss is up on the Briomdar, Fuethan, or Dhom-hain. Right now I'm leaning toward the latter two, but being able to fly for all units for the Briomdar is pretty cool 8).

Well now I know to drybrush the armor before painting most of the other colors. The Thralls have progressed to the next stage, but will need some touch-ups before I move on.  :)

10x Blood Seekers

Battalion: Temple Nest

Deployment:

The deployment zones for the mission split the board into two diagonal halves. Along the diagonal line that separates the players' territories, three objectives are placed. One on either end of the table, one in the northwest and southeast respectively, and a third placed in the center of the board. Only heroes with an artifact or wizards are allowed to hold and score objectives, so my opponent and I deployed accordingly.

Deepkin Deployment:

The Deepkin deployed just outside of the 12" from the DoK's territory, and basically sealed up my half of the board with nice conga line. On the right flank, The Morrsar Guard deployed behind a line of ten namarti thralls, backed by the General Soulrender.  Anchored on the other side of the thralls further toward the center field, Lotann and the other Soulrender perched themselves between the Narmati Thralls and a squad of Reavers behind an Occularum terrain piece.

 In the center, the Sequitors created a bulwark in the small space between the occularum and one half of the Gloomtide Shipwreck placed conveniently just out of reach of the board's center.

On the left flank, another squad of reavers deployed behind an observatory-like terrain piece, backed up by a Tidecaster for further support. On the extreme left flank, the Ishlaen Guard and a squadron of Allopexes stood ready to swarm the northwest objective.

Daughters of Khaine Deployment:

Across from the Deepkin right flank, a token force of 5 Blood Sisters and 5 Blood Seekers deploy to assault the Southeast objective, across from the Morrsar Guard. In the center, 30 Witch Elves mustered for an offensive, backed by Morathi more towards the Idoneth's center-left, Hag Queen, Medusae, and two units of 10 and 5 Blood Seekers skulking in the backfield. Not too far away from the main force, a unit of 5 Blood Sisters anchor the right flank.

Deepkin Turn 1:

So, a horde of 30 witch aelves and Morathi looked like something that I wanted to steer clear away from. So, I decided that I would focus my efforts on the flanks with a swift offensive into his back lines (the dream) and play defensively with the forces anchored in my center.

The Reavers on the right flank advance and climb into the ruins of the Occularum and take up a defensive position. The other reaver squad toward the left flank did likewise and took shelter in the stairs and crumbled wall of the Observatory. Each squad would not do so well with their one-shot firing mode, so my hope here is that my opponent would want to act aggressively and come within 9" of either Reaver Squad, so that I could unleash the 3-shot rapid fire mode with impunity.

The Morrsar Guard burst forth from the aethersea and sail overhead toward the Blood Sisters and Blood Seekers arrayed against them on the right flank. But they do not charge headlong into the first fight, but attempt to stay out of charge range for the turn and form a protective barrier around the Southeast objective. The Namarti and General Soul Render advance toward the objective behind the Morrsar Guard, and form a neat second line behind them. Lotann and the second Soulrender anchor themselves below the Namarti Reaver Squad in the shadow of the Occularum.

The Ishlaen Guard combined with the Allopexes crested the waves on the left flank and created a barrier around the Northwest Objective. The Sequitors and the Knight Incantor shuffle forward to better protect their choke-point. Incantor attempts mystic shield in the magic phase, but fails.

Daughters of Khaine Turn 1:
The Witch Aelves advance toward the center, gifted with Witchbrew from the Hag Queen and enhanced with a quick Mindrazor from the Medusae. Morathi attempts to summon the Black Horror on the Reavers in the Observatory, arcane bolt into the tidecaster. She also may have attempted to mystic shield on a unit, but I don't think that one mattered too much. Arz. Black Horror fails, but the arcane bolt scores a pair of wounds on the Tidecaster, leaving her at three. The Hag Queen also attempts a go at the Blood Sacrement Prayer, but is found unworthy and is wounded.

Seeing an open gap in the Idoneth backlines, the Medusae General unleashes one of her commands and teleport the unit of 10 Bloodseekers in the Southwest, behind the tidecaster and the Namarti Reaver unit garrisoned in the Observatory.

The Bloodseekers unleash their salvo across the Idoneth lines. One of the Morrsar Guard reap two wounds, as do one of the Ishlaen Riders. The unit of 10 Bloodseekers unleash a volley into the tidecaster, but by some instance a grand fortune (Hello, Lookout Sir!), she comes limping away from the fusillade with one wound remaining.

The Bloodsisters on the right flank advanced toward the Ishlaen Guard and sounded the charge. Between them, the Blood Sisters lay low two of the Fangmora Eels and their riders. On the right flank, the Blood Sisters advance toward the wall of an azyrite ruin and hunker down behind it.

Suddenly in the midst of a ferocious battle, the Ishlaen Guard weather the storm of glaive-swings with surprising durability, only having lost a pair of their number to the onslaught of the Blood Sisters. The Helsabres rattle as they pierce scaly armor and flesh alike, leaving two of the Blood Sisters mangled and broken in the aftermath. Goaded by the scent of fresh blood on the water, the Fangmora Eels strike with brutally rapid force, and proceed to chew up the three remaining Blood Sisters with their fanged maws alone.

One unit of Blood Sisters is silenced forever in the first skirmish.

Score: 0 to 0

Deepkin Turn 2:

The Tidecaster attempts to summon a Vorpal Maelstrom upon the Melusai that have appeared from the dim waves of the Aethersea, but fails in the attempt. The Knight Incantor unleashes an arcane bolt and strikes on the Witch Aelves dead with a magical blast. Still out of range of any juicy targets, both Reaver Squads keep their eyes peeled for choicer targets.

The Namarti Thralls once again advance behind the Morrsar Guard and advance upon the objective. The Soul Render General claims the Southeast objective as his own, and will remain there for the course of the game.

At once alarmed by the Melusai in their backlines and elated by their sudden victory over the Blood Sisters, the Ishlaen Guard and the Allopex Squadron race back 14" and 12" respectively (that is their normal move distance) and prepare themselves for a swift and devastating charge into the archers.

Eager to reap their share of the glory, the Morrsar guard confidently glide just out combat range of the Blood Sisters hunkered behind the Azyrite wall (like that will save them from the flying eels!).

The eerie call of the Morrsar Musician's conch shell spurs her Akhelian brethren into a lightning charge. The Blood Sisters shriek out in blind terror as the Fangmora Eels burst over the Azyrite ruins, suddenly impaled upon the Volt-Spears of the Akhelians fluid charge. What little remains of the Blood Sisters is torn to shreds by the voracious maws of the rampant fangmora eels.

Another unit of Blood Sisters bites the dust.

The Ishlaen Guard and the Allopexes succeed in closing the distance with the 10 Blood Seekers. In the frantic paced melee, four Melusai are slain in the exchange, but the ceremonial daggers of the Blood Seekers take their own toll, as a wound is taken on one of the Allopexes, and another Ishlaen dragged from his mount and viciously stabbed to death. However, of the six remaining Blood Seekers, four of them lose their courage and flee from the battle! Only two Blood Seekers remain from the big unit.

Undeterred by the death of their glaive wielding sisters, the Blood Seekers on the right flank find an opportunity to pounce upon the Morrsar Guard and pile in for a sneaky attack! One of the Akhelians is slain in the ambush.

Daughters of Khaine turn 2:

Morathi starts the show with a successful Arz. Black Horror summoned upon the Reaver Squad in the Observatory. Of the ten Namarti hunters, six of them are slain, pretty much maiming the unit before it could strike. She also transforms into her monstrous true self. The Medusae fires another arcane bolt into the tidecaster and obliterates her in an explosion of shadow magic.  Witchbrew is given, but I think Mind Razor failed this time. The Hag Queen attempts another prayer is found unworthy again, and is dropped to three wounds (jilted :P!).

Morathi flies over to the now abandoned Northwest objective and claims the place of power as her own. The Witch Aelves advance along with the Medusae and claim the center objective.

In the midst of combat, the Blood Seekers manage to drag down another Akhelian through sheer spite (mortal wounds inflicted on the Akhelians whenever they roll hit rolls of one :P). In turn, three of their number are fed to the eels, and only two remain standing.

Deepkin Turn 3: The Knight Incantor summons an arcane bolt and annihilates another Witch Aelf. The Reavers fortified in the Occularum open up with their rapid-fire shot, but due to Khailebron's mist-shroud, they only manage to cut down two or three witch aelves.

There can be no more waiting, the High Tide has come and demands a sacrifice a dogs to be pulled down into the depths! The Sequitors and the Knight Incantor lead the charge into the horde of Witch Aelves. Encouraged by the High Tide, the Soulrender and Lotann himself join the charge into the Daughters of Khaine. The Ishlaen Guard and the Allopexes race across the left flank into the center of the battlefield, but become too exhausted to join the carnage and shred the enemy (really critical fail of a charge for both units here :P).

Making use of the High Tide, the Idoneth Heroes deign to be the first to swing their blades in this combat. The Soulrender does well for himself, and cuts down about four Witch Aelves on his own. Lotann pretty much is clubbing the open air, and only manages to slay about one or two of the Aelves despite all of his attacks.

The Witch Aelves strike back in a sudden flurry of blows. Two Sequitors are slain in the melee, while the Soulrender is dropped to three wounds, and Lotann himself dropped to two. The Sequitors strike back with such haste, that they forget to use their Aetheric Channeling and promptly miss every single one of their attacks :P. Oh well, I guess the Idoneth only use them for the extra wounds lol. The Knight Incantor does a bit better and puts another 3-4 aelves into the grave.

The Morrsar Guard finish off their Blood Seeker opponents and await the coming of the ebb tide (which is high tide as well for Fuethan) to make their next move.

Daughters of Khaine Turn 4:

Blood Sacrament finally goes off from the Hag Queen, Mindrazor goes off from the Medusae, and then the Snake-Aelf uses a command point and teleport the Hag Queen to the Northwest objective where Morathi is. The Hag Queen now claims the objective and allows Morathi to finally unleash herself upon the foe.

The unit of Blood Seekers in the back take potshots at the Knight Incantor whittle her down to three wounds. Seeking to stop Fuethan's momentum on the left flank, Morathi fixates the Ishlaen Lochian Prince with her deathly stare and turns the Akhelian and his mount into a monument of stone, leaving only the musician on one wound (took some fire from the Blood Seekers).

The Knight Incantor pops a soul flask, and puts a couple wounds on the enemy as well as herself. The Witch Aelves plunge themselves into a murderous frenzy in the center, and proceed to cut down the Soulrender and Lotann, and whittle down the Sequitors to just the Sequitor Prime. The Bloodwrack Medusae throws some blows in on the Knight Incantor, but somehow, despite the pounding of the Witch Aelf knives and their general, stands firm with one wound remaining.

The last unit of 5 Blood Seekers charge in, but even piling, cannot really reach the front of the combat. They surround their Bloodwrack General and prepare to fight to the death.

Morathi charges in and slays the remaining Ishlaen, and impales the slightly wounded Allopex upon her great spear, Heartrender, slaying it. The remaining Allopex strike at Morathi before she can get her blows in and take off the maximum three wounds that she can receive in one turn. (Awesome :)!). Two Naramti Reavers still hunkered in the Observatory are pulled into the combat.

Deepkin Turn 4:

Ebb Tid = High Tide for the Fuethan, and none are safe now that there is blood in the water.

Being allowed to run and charge or run and shoot, the remaining Idoneth units still outside of the thickest fighting surge forward to enter the fray. The Soulrender General uses a command point for "On the Double" on the Namarti Thrall unit within 12" of him. The Thralls rush forward and succeed in their charge to enter the fray. The Thralls whittle the Witch Aelves to about eight or so, but are in turn shredded to about just four Thralls :P.

The Sequitor Prime, the last remaining warrior in her unit, remembers her Aetheric Channeling and manages to whittle down the Witch Aelves further still. The Knight Incantor manages to land some blows on the Bloodwrack Medusa and take her down to four wounds.

The combined efforts of the remaining Allopex and the two Namarti Thralls manage to cleave another three wounds off of Morathi, leaving her six wounds left. Morathi proceeds to rend apart the last remaining reavers, and whittles down the Allopex to one wound due to many flubbed rolls toward the end and some lucky saves!

The Morrsar Guard pull off the impossible thanks to the Flood Tide and their natural 14" move. They ride the waves toward where the fighting is thickest with an 17" move and run, and proceed to nail their charge with a mighty roll of 10. They slam the Blood Sisters and the Bloodwrack Medusae from the rear, and with the impetuousness of their charge, proceeded to slay everyone in range, leaving my Knight Incantor with her one wound to claim the objective.

Daughters of Khaine Turn 5:

Nothing much remains at this point. The Deepkin have a Knight Incantor, four Morrsar Guard, and unit of 10 Reavers left to them. The Daughters of Khaine on the other hand, have a Morathi with half of her wounds, a Hag Queen, and four Witch Aelves left on the field.

Morathi turns a pair of Reavers to stone with her powerful gaze and swiftly charges in and crushes the Knight Incantor under her great tail and rends apart one of the Morrsar Guard. But the Akhelians have not lost their bite, and manage to tear another three wounds off of Morathi, leaving her with three left!

With the Reavers having nothing to shoot at, they abandon their fortification to advance toward the Hag Queen. A vain effort, but might as well.

The Idoneth Deepkin didn't have much of a fifth turn, as I retreated with my Akhelians toward the Hag Queen thinking there would be a turn six. It was at the end of my final turn that my opponent and I both realized that the mission ends on turn 5.

So we called it a good game.

The Daughters of Khaine pulled out a nail-biting victory.

Oh yeah, I've heard of the Ironjawz far reaching capabilities ;D, there are a couple of ironjawz players at my local games workshop. Wouldn't mind seeing who is the fastest army  ;D!

It was definitely a great game, went back and forth a couple times and was a lot of fun. The Akhelians proved themselves the real heroes in that battle. Between the unit of Ishlaen Guard and Akhelian Guard, they almost accounted for every Melusai model on the battlefield! I think the Fuethan Enclave helped me turn the tide in some pivotal moments. Being able to run and charge or run and shoot definitely swung the game around in my favor toward the end of the match.

I think I agree with you about the Namarti Reavers, when they did come through, they provided some support, but in the overall scheme of things it was nothing spectacular. Granted, Khailebrons debuff to shooting really hampered them quite badly. Even when shooting with Rapid Fire shot with a full squad into a group of 30 Witches, I only accounted for like 3 or 4 of them by the end of the game.

The Namarti Thralls could have done some serious damage when they joined the combat, I only needed to take more of them. A unit of ten, as you mentioned, is not nearly enough. They charged in, dealt some damage, and then promptly died to the Witch Aelves' knives and battleshock.

The Allopexes did better once I placed them into a single unit. The Retarius Net Launchers only managed to hit and wound once. I think they did more than enough in this game, however, managing to drop Morathi down to half of her wounds before she put both of them in the grave. There was one turn where the last Allopex was on one wound, and Morathi pretty much flubbed all of her shooting attacks and kept her locked in combat. So there is that :).

I actually really like the Fuethan Enclave. Having two rounds of Flood Tide and a special buff around that battle round is crazy good. And being able to reroll some of the missed wound rolls thanks to their other rule turned all of my Undersea mounts to erratic damage, to solid damage dealers.

I think I might end up dropping the Namarti Reavers, adding in more Thralls and either another unit of Ishlaen Guard or an Akhelian King. Also might switch out to the other soulrender for another Tidecaster... Will have to see.

D6 moving in the hero phase, normal move + charge, plus extra attacks for waaaggh or something, = 20 dead thralls in one turn from a single unit. That was just the guys on foot, not even their mounted troops....

Lesson = deploy waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaay back and let them go first lol.

I was just running a throw everything on the table list vs a proberly configure list, so it was going to be an up hill battle. If I had deployed properly I would have had a much better time of it.

I did get to use the shield Eels though, they did more damange than I thought andf the ignore rend was just amazing.

That sounded like a really good, although really tough, game Myen'Tal. In the microscopic experience I've had with Idoneth, it really shocked both me and my opponent just how far the Idoneth can reach out and touch you. The threat bubble is immense.

I wouldn't be too quick to write off the Namaarti Reavers though. Again, in my limited experience, they can really pump out some hurt as long as they aren't totally isolated. If they are used as a support unit to a more threatening unit, such as a big blob of Thralls or any of the Akhelian units, they can really do some work. The volley shooting can thin enemy units nicely and then what they can do in hth combat shouldn't be sniffed at either. If you can hold them back until turn 3 (High tide), they can absolutely wreck face. It's all about keeping them out of harm's way for the first couple of turns...or at least, if you are being aggressive with them, providing a far more threatening unit right next to them that the enemy wants to focus on.

Great updates as always bud, keep them coming!

Thanks, Loosh, 2nd game of AoS, and it was tough, but it was really fun and rewarding to play against my opponent even if I did lose in the end. As for the Idoneth's reach, I share the same experience that you and your opponent had, I felt toward the end of the game that my Akhelians could possibly run from one end of the board and back. Smashing into the back of those witch aelves and the medusae was simply glorious ;D.

I'll keep what you said in mind about the Namarti Reavers. I think they probably would have performed much stronger had I been facing any other temple beside Khailebron. The defensive positions I took gave them a unique bastion to hide in that was not simple to assault. But once Morathi began waving her wand around ::)...

I haven't really been painting so much recently, but I have been doing some prep work on several models that I hope to begin on in earnest this weekend. Pray to the Brush Gods that I'll have something to post soon ;) :).

Thanks, Mage :D! I've actually decided to take a break from building my Sea Aelves for the moment. I managed to break four akhelians after my ramshackle box filled with models tipped over while I wasn't looking :P. I think I'll be waiting on building and painting my Akhelians at least until I buy a proper case for them.

In the meantime though, I officially reached 2000 Points of Stormcast through some trades and acquiring some of the new kits. I already had most of the paint for the Bloodied Dawn Stormhost already, so I grabbed what small portion was missing and have commenced the painting ;D.

oh man that sucks, hopefully they are not too damaged.

A Knight-Incantor comes with the AOS getting started magazine, so its really cheap $$ wise, its made its way into my sea elves army, being able to just pown a single spell is brilliant and the suicide flasks are kind of fun :)

Thanks, Ynnead, means a lot from the Mastermind Conversion artist himself ;D!

I've actually been doing some hobby work over the weekend. Lots of priming and transferring / pre-thinning paints into Dropper Bottles.

I just started on some more of the Deepkin models (Not going to tell which one ;)!), that I hope to share on the forum really soon. So stay tuned!

Thanks for the compliment, Dread :D, means a lot as the Allopex turned out to be several degrees more effort than I was anticipating. So many small details on it, then you also have to work out the shark's skintone and how best to apply the stripe pattern. I think the Akhelian Guard made this model more of a challenge when fully assembled. Some difficult to reach spots, especially when you're trying to get the chest plate on the armor.

That said, I'm extremely proud about how it all turned out!

I'm not sure if I'll choose a different color scheme for the second Allopex to keep them unique, but I'll think on it! Do you think I should try to keep the same color scheme across the two of them for more consistency, or try the more varied approach?

Thanks, Mage, the stripes proved a bit more difficult than I initially thought, but once I got the most of the colors for the skin ironed out, everything became a lot simpler :).

Speaking of the Allopex's stripes, I went back and trimmed down some of the ticker ones.

Tell me what you think!

Thanks, Mage, I actually just decided not to cover the flying stand when I primed it, but I think you're right, it does blend in a lot better.

I used your tutorial to improve on my water basing, using Teclis Blue, Temple Guard blue, and the nihilakh oxide. Didn't manage to pull off the larger waves, I think the first layer of gel was spread too thin. But I think it does look a lot more vibrant with the color transition from deep to coastal waters  :).

I think I'm where I want to be with the ocean bases. I guess I need to start formulating how I'll base the stormcast :D.

I love the shark! I think the shark skin came out really, really well. The other things that stands out for me are the bronze coloured elements. They're really well executed.

Overall, the Allopex is a terrific addition to the force. Nice job.

Thanks for the compliments, Loosh ;D! Long time, so see by the way, glad to see you around the forums again. Yeah, I'm really stoked about how the shark skin came out, when I was in the first stages I thought it was going to turn into a disaster :P, but I pressed on with it and after several layers, I think it finally started to evolve and come together.

I'm glad you liked the bronze elements. I knew I needed another color on the harpoon launcher harness to break up all of that silver. So I settled on a bronze / copper to add some variety to a miniature with already a lot of silver armor plates on it. Glad someone noticed that! :D

Quick Update, guys,

I'll be posting up an image or two of what I've been up to once I get off of work tonight. I won't be posting these to show anything off, but I'm more looking for advice because I'm somewhat stumped on how to proceed with some of these models.

I still have an idea or two on what I want to do with the Akhelian Guard. But the colors I'm using for the celestial dracoline don't seem to be jiving together like I thought they would. More on that later though.

EDIT:

For these guys, I'm trying to decide what a good layer for the skin would be. I based them with mechanicus standard grey and then Teclis blue to experiment with the color scheme a little. I washed them with Drakenhof Nightshade. I might just layer up with Teclis blue again and use some brighter green highlights for the pattern on the skin, like sybarite or sotek green.
(https://i.imgur.com/dQfPhwL.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/tXZiS4N.jpg)
For Astreia Solbright, I've tried highlighting her skin a couple times, until I reached the point that I felt that I had to start over. I basecoated with Daemonette Hide, which I felt was still pretty bright for a base paint. I toned down the skin with an overall wash of Druchii Violet, then I tried to layer most of the skin up to Warpfiend grey... The Warpfiend grey looked so unnaturally bright and weird even though it's supposed to layer over Daemonette Hide. Maybe I'm highlighting it wrong and just need to focus on edge highlighting?
(https://i.imgur.com/pb0xYUJ.jpg)
I've kept these guys based in the Mechanicus for now until I figure out how I want to paint this unit. I have a mind to try and mirror the Allopex Shark I painted before. But I want to keep the whole unit consistent I Think.

Thanks, Ynnead, though the result wasn't entirely planned for ;D! I'm going to try to keep the mottled look even after I apply a few more highlights to layer the skin back up. I'm going by my GW tomorrow and will probably pick up some orange, red, and purple paints so I can add some variety to all of the fins :).

WIP Akhelian Guard: Base Colors for each Akehlian Guard Pair: Naggaroth Night, Caliban Green, Ahriman Blue, Stegadon Scale Green, and Incubi Darkness, perhaps not necessarily in that order. The Incubi and the Stegadon Scale look pretty similar after I gave each model their respective washes. Hopefully I'll be able to brighten them back up and make each of them a bit more unique.

Thanks, Mage, still wondering whether I should do a smaller, more extreme highlight of moot green on the fin edges. Still wondering how I'm going to build the skin of the Teclis-Eels back up. I think I might end up using some Ahriman Blue to do so.

Thanks, Dread ;D! I actually had a similar idea to do something like that, except I was going to make the entire pattern orange. But I'm liking your idea, didn't really think about that, so I think I'll try it out this weekend. Do have some orange colors, but I think the ratio of thinner I used to pre-thin them has left them ruined I'm afraid. Might not be worth it to pre-thin those lighter colors, they're already thin enough I think.

EDIT: Sorry! Called you DoW by accident Dread. For some reason I keep getting both of your names swapped around in my head :P.

First off, being called DoW is a compliment so your ok.

I have to say how well the colors really make these models so cool, electric like i stated. To see them on a table would be a real honor. The blues on the rider and pinks compliment the model so well.

Keep it up. I hope to get some pics up soon. 3 weeks of being sick has really sucked.

Post by: dog_of_war on November 5, 2018, 08:44:08 AM
The lighter tone is much more complimentary to the blue and makes the scheme much more natural. It would be neat having slight variations in the strips of colours ranging from purples to reds to oranges on different models in the unit. Just as in nature there are always genetic variety, I think it looks great on the tabletop.

I think the honour is mine Dread  ;)

Thanks for the compliments and feedback, guys, I'm glad that you like them! I should note that I've changed the original red color on the first eel to orange as well.

I've had a similar idea, Dread, but my thought was to do one particular variation in pairs. Such as the blue skin, orange pattern, and green fins that I've applied to these first two Akhelian Riders. Two might be a strange number, but I don't think I have enough paints to do a truly unique scheme for each Eel ;). So expect the next pair of riders to change it up a bit!

Thanks, Mage, always value your feedback :). I actually kind of messed up, because I started working on the musician alongside this Standard Bearer. Both share the same pattern and colors, but I realized yesterday that I was painting the Morrsar Guard Musician instead of the Ishlaen one (*facepalm*). Oh well, not going to start over or anything.

I think after I finish the musician, I'm going to go back to painting my Namarti. The Namarti kind of fell off the map for me :P, so I'm going to try to get a good chunk of them painted up I think. It'll be refreshing to be able to paint entire groups again, and not have a lot of detail and filigree to pick out.

Yeah, I think pictures on the internet really don't do it justice. I knew it was supposed to be a centerpiece model, but I really didn't know how big the model was until I began assembling it. And actually building the Eidolon was fairly simple, not difficult at all. One of the most enjoyable experiences I had putting a model together!

Well I used to have a huge dark elf army. Then the new witches came out and a guy offered me the right amount of money for the army. I sold most of it. I have left 20 witches, 3 hags, cauldron, shrine, sorceress and one on a dragon, a few others. I want the DoK book and the new models, soon I keep saying but soon hasn't come yet. I hope to assemble the last seven witches this weekend. If I can find some hobby time.

I'm thinking about using the sisters of slaughter bits on some dark Eldar wyches to make SoS. What do you think, do-able? Of coarse I'll have to reshape a few torsos to be female but...
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave: The Painting Chronicles
Post by: Myen'Tal on November 28, 2018, 10:23:17 PM
I'm not much of a converter, but I think kitbashing Wych and SoS bitz sounds possible. I think if you could make it work, you'd get something far better than the current Wych models for the Dark Eldar. I wonder how the more slender arms for the sisters of slaughter would fit as a replacement for the muscular arms of the Wyches?

Sounds like a fun project ;D.
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave: The Painting Chronicles
Post by: Dread on November 28, 2018, 10:36:00 PM
I'll have to file their back packs off too. I'll play around and see if I like it or not. I have about 50 or 60 wyches so I can get all female torsos. They're cheaper then a box of witches, I already have them so...

I calculated ppoints I have on war scroll, I'm at 1200 or so with what I can use from the book.

Edit: you are way correct on the arms, way to small. Grumble grumble..

Had to make a choice, buy two of the Imperial fist battlefields or finish the two AoS armies that I have. I've decided on the latter. As a result, I've ordered the last kits I need and supplies to finish both armies.

I've ordered another group of The alps, bringing me 35 of them. Aventis Firestrike on Tauralon, another Astreia Solbright, and might grab another Akhelian King so I can try out some airbrushing on his mount. The reaper brush on primer has dried somewhat weird on Volturnos, and he looks kind of icky lol.

Reinforcements are on the way, so how about some army photos to celebrate!

25 Namarti Thralls
19 Namarti Reavers
6 Ishlaen Guard
6 Morssar Guard
2 Allopexes
1 Soulrender
2 Akhelian Kings
1 Eidolon

Yeah, I have a lot to paint  :P. Really waiting on that airbrush and still need to gather some more brushes before the work continues. I've got some Thralls down the pipeline, hopefully I'll be able to finish them soon. Funnily enough, I find the Thralls trickier to paint than the Akhelians. Their robes and the length of their weapons can be frustrating sometimes, haha :).

Thanks, Ynnead :). Sorry I should have clarified about that wash for the skintone. I mix the Druchii Violet, Lahmian, and Gulliman blue together before shading the skin. I have also yet to try applying different colored washes in multiple shades ;D.

Doomfire warlocks I hear are very solid light cavalry, especially now that you can give them crossbows too. You should share the list once you come up with one. I've studied daughters of khaine, since when I was starting I wanted to build an army out of them. I don't think I will now though, already have Idoneth and Stormcast.

And now I'll have Tau Empire to finish. Then towards the end of the year, sisters of battle should be out, and I'll be hoping on that train :).

I'm still trying to decide on a paint scheme, but I've narrowed it down to a handful. It's either N'dras (Blue-Green, Teal, and Black), Tau'n (Cold White and Dark Grey), or Sa'cea (Blue, grey, and orange).

Thanks guys! Our family is holding a late Christmas this weekend, fingers crossed for more stuff!

I think I'm going to hold off on building the Ghostkeel until I find myself a hobby drill and some magnets. I'd really like to try magnetizing the weapons and even the arms for once.

We'll see :).

Any Basing suggestions you guys want to throw out there?

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I'm actually planning to relocate to a new city to start working a new job. I'll actually be moving into a house for the foreseeable future, and I'm preparing to utilize a piece of that much  larger space for... you guessed it! A new hobby area!

My painting has been on hold as I am packing stuff up and organizing it for the move this coming Friday. I don't have much stuff, sharing an apartment currently with one of siblings. It shouldn't take too long to get situated I think.

But I've avowed that once the hobby area is up and running, I'll be redoubling my efforts on the Idoneth! Really want to get this army readied for war!

So what have I been up to?

1) Bought my fourth Akhelian King Box, this time I'm planning on airbrushing him alongside my Eidolon.

2) Assembling a Ghostkeel Battlesuit.

3) Preparing to referee an AoS match between two friends to introduce them into the hobby.

4) Bought into temptation and acquired a good chunk of goblins. I've actually been hit with a cool idea to utilize a color wheel to find a nice triad of colors for them. Cyan + Purple + Orange. I'm thinking each Night Goblin unit will be painted in different variations of the Triad, but will retain the three main colors to keep them cohesive. The Squigs... well they will be more riotous in their color scheme! Wish me luck!

5) Gearing up to acquire an Airbrush and compressor. I'm looking at the Iwata Medea Eclipse HP CS and their Ninja jet Pro Compressor.

6) I also now have the ambition to start moving away from Citadel GW paint range. Now that they're going up in price again, coupled with the fact that they offer less paint, worse bottles that they come in compared to the competition, it just doesn't make sense to remain with it. I'm actually looking at the Vallejo Game and Game Air Range, perhaps coupled with some of their Mecha range paints. Anyone have any advice on how to best utilize these Vallejo paints?

7) Anyone have any ideas on how to create a gaming table for either 40000 or AoS? My friends and I might be interested in collaborating with each other to build one up. Especially with the new Urban Conquest book coming out soon!

Looks like you certainly have your plate full in the next little while. I dabbled in the world of air brushing, but mine has been sitting idle for half a year now. Good on you for doing some research and investing in some quality equipment. My problem is I always nickel and dime every project.

I built a games table a few years back. Basically 4x4 post legs attached with carriage bolts to a screwed square frame of 2x6s and reinforced in the middle with 2x4s on hangers. Even built it so the ply wood top could be removed and replaced in case I wanted to have different look.

There are a ton of designs on the web, but I don`t think you need to overthink it if your just looking for a nice flat surface to play on.

Thanks, Dread, I've been watching so many airbrush beginner guides that it's not even funny! The Iwata Eclipse isn't the fanciest brush on the market, but it's super solid from what I hear. I'm not sure about the ninja jet compressor, but it's got good reviews. I'm willing to try it out though.

Yeah, I think I've taken on a lot recently. So I am on a haitus until I finish at least one army, haha :P. The Idoneth Army is assembled, it just needs to be painted now. So I'll be focusing on getting that completed.

Thanks for the advice! I'm not certain it'll be feasible as of right now, but one of my friends has been in the construction business for a while, and he wanted to give it a shot. Might just be simpler to use our local gaming stores :).

5) Gearing up to acquire an Airbrush and compressor. I'm looking at the Iwata Medea Eclipse HP CS and their Ninja jet Pro Compressor.

Start with a cheap airbrush, its all you will need for base coating and spraying most mechs, you can do basic blending, stencils, etc. You'll spend more time cleaning the darn thing than spraying, and its best to work out the kinks on a cheap one first (You can get them for less than $20 AUD). This will also give you time to work out how to thin your paints for airbrush usage.




6) I also now have the ambition to start moving away from Citadel GW paint range. Now that they're going up in price again, coupled with the fact that they offer less paint, worse bottles that they come in compared to the competition, it just doesn't make sense to remain with it. I'm actually looking at the Vallejo Game and Game Air Range, perhaps coupled with some of their Mecha range paints. Anyone have any advice on how to best utilize these Vallejo paints?

The are used in the same way as Citadel paints. You get more paint true, but you tend to waste more with the dropper bottles unless you are batch painting with a wet palette, so it kind of evens out.

I've used them primarily for base coating as GW changed the Ultramarine blue on me, where as Vallejo keeps their range consistent.

There is a certain other forum that has a conversion chart, it is reasonably good, but missing a lot of the newer edges.

Air range is OK, but since they are the same price as a normal bottle, mixing your own goes further, so I don't really air brush with them any more. That said, I've found the white is fantastic for painting fine lines, I can't seem to get the ratio right for the GW whites. So can also work as a sort heavy shade, so it can pool into or around areas and still be used to evenly tiny flat areas, black metal is great for this.

I've stuck with GW as I'm lazy, having the colours on the box or their painting app, but the other issue is Vallejo can be a right pain in the backside in Aus, the distributors are not great here, so sometimes you have to mail order a specific colour. It took more than four months to get Ultramine blue back in stock in Aus a while back, so I have a stock pile now lol.


GW is about to do a price hike on their paints as well, it was about a 10% increase in the UK, if keep that percent across the board, then it will be almost $8 a pot here, when I can get a bottle of Vallejo at $4.50-$5, then I'll be migrating to Vallejo.

Informative post, Mage, thank you for the advice :). I'm going to keep researching how best to take care of these brushes. You're right, preventative maintenance is half the battle :).

Funny you mentioned start with a cheaper airbrush. I happened across badger airbrushes website, which is holding some huge sale on their airbrushes. All of their available air brushes are priced at $55, no matter what tier, coupled with a $10 shipping fee.

I just bought two of them!

Another Akhelian and a half done. This might be my least favorite finished Akhelian so far. I'm not overly fond of the pattern, and the blue highlights on the black armor isn't as clean as I'm used to. I think he still looks good, but I'll be rethinking the pattern on Akhelian #5.

I think he's fine, technically. However, I think that the pattern on the eel makes the model look a bit too busy; especially when combined with the bold contrast of the armour highlights and the eel's moth and fin tips. He not bad, but I think that your previous models have been better balanced, which elevates them above this guy.

I'm actually really keen to see the next guy with no patterns on the skin...I just think it could work really well. The skin as it stands looks excellent.

Looking forward to seeing how you progress.

Yeah I think I might go back and redo the skin on the finished one. Which side of Akhelian #6 is the one you like the most? One flank is rakarth flesh and the other is Deepkin flesh layered on rakarth.

Oh yeah, the new Squig Kits are absolutely glorious to behold once assembled! I really like the basic squig herd a lot, but man o' man, the Squig Hoppers are just bursting with personality and detail. There's a good amount of faces that are swappable with each body component. The legs are not so swappable though, each of them goes with a specific midsection. But them and the goblin riders have a solid amount of customization to them.

Also, if you're looking to convert some of the Squig mounts in the Squig Hopperz box, the only piece that attaches the goblin rider to the mount is a fold of skin that plugs in just behind the head. If you shaved off the hand and the skin fold plastic, it could easily look like no one was riding it at all! :)

A couple of Updates of what I've been working on!

So, that Akhelian with the strange, busy Black Pattern. A little re-working and viola! I'm loving this Akhelian so much more now!

(https://i.imgur.com/ZZBBbd7.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/Cnaswfz.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/LY3KNdd.jpg)

So, about that Akhelian with the strange Half-and-Half purple skin? I tried to go back and replicate the better half of it, but I guess I could not find the correct consistency again. IT looked like a mess. So I decided that since I had so much success repainting the Eel with the Black Pattern, that I'd try to replicate it on this one and make them a pair!

Work In Progress:

Also, I've sworn fealty to the Dark Gods and the Tribes of Chaos ;D! Looking to add a Darkoath War Queen and Chieftain to my ranks soon!

And more progress on the Gobbos! Still have a few kits to unbox and assemble!

Indeed, he does! I actually discovered, that painting on the pattern instead of stippling / dabbling it works much better in the end result. Sometimes you end up brushing more paint onto the model than you want, but you can easily clean up with the original color!

Looking good dude :) I for one rather like the pattern on the purple akhelian :)

Companies changing paint coloura is one of the reasons I went to doing primarily non-uniform mixed colours for my scavenger dudes. The only block colours are black, off-white, gunmetal, red, bone, and a violet wash. All of those aside for the violet wash are pretty safe, and if they change any other colour then it should just blend into the already varied mixed colours :)

If you’re painting black robes, I’d strongly recommend using a base coat of mechanicus grey with lots of nuln oil washes applied over it.  It’s so easy to do and looks great when finished.  :)

Thanks, Dread ;D! I appreciate the compliment. The robes were originally supposed to be a darkened shade of pink, but I decided to try something different. Didn't really like the pink in the scheme too much so didn't want to apply it across the entire army.

Those three models are the only finished stormcast that I have so far. But I'm working on several more at the moment. Good thing about Stormcast is that you don't have to paint a ton of models to make significant progress in painting their army.

Hopefully I'll have more pics soon!

Thanks Calamity, I've actually gone back and looked at the photos and decided that I could clean some of those models up a little bit! Some of the highlights are pretty chunky and be thinned down a little. Also there's some slight mistakes on the armor too. I appreciate your compliment on them!

So, update: I have hereby sold my Tau Empire and Gloomspite Gitz collections! Myen'Tal, are you mad!? I here you say, but I think that this is for the best. Lately, I've been kind of rolling on the Age of Sigmar bandwagon a little too much and want to dial it back a bit, for now! I have two AoS armies that need completing already, and plus, I have a third ambition for warhammer.

I've decided to sell my T'au Force, because I realized that I wanted to purchase this new Shadowspear Box Set that should be coming out soon. I was tempted by Genestealer Cult, but ultimately, they're not a faction for me. I don't want to be juggling too many armies right now, so I've sold off both armies and in return, will be able to start a new collection by buying two of the Shadowspear Boxes.

Not certain if I'll keep both sides of the box, but if I do, I'm only going to be focused on one for the near future. Plus, marines, chaos and Primaris alike, probably don't have as many models to paint like my Tau list would have required :P.

So, for right now, I'm just going to keep pressing on with my Stormcast and Deepkin.

Stay tuned for more!

Shame to hear that you've decided to move on from the Gobbos Myen'Tal, but if you can't devote the time and energy, it's never worth it to hang onto them.

As for the Stormcast, I think they look good. As you say, a few of the highlights are too thick, but the colour scheme is striking and I think they'll look good once you finish a few more of them.

Keep it up bud!

Post by: Myen'Tal on February 20, 2019, 07:51:19 PM
Thanks for the encouragements, guys, parting with the Grots was a bit of a conundrum. Buuut, I've been thinking about where I want to take my Age of Sigmar projects, and what types of armies I'd be most satisfied with painting and playing with. I also find these kinds of a factions as really great chances to experiment and learn more about painting in different ways. I never would have had the bravery to paint patterns on anything before the coming of the Idoneth, which inspired me to new heights of experimentation and uplifting my personal standard.

I thought about that for a bit, and realized something quite important. Since the days of Fantasy, I've always been fascinated by Elven races and the chronicles of their nations and heroes. That hasn't changed with the arrival of the Age of Sigmar. Some of my favorite characters have gone through some weird changes. Alarielle becoming the Goddess of Ghyran, Tyrion going blind, Teclis inflicting near genocide on his first creations. Others have stayed the same, Morathi still scheming and manipulating even though she's a snake monster now, and Malerion still as enigmatic and cruel as ever.

I find myself still in love with aelvendom, and I've resolved that I would like to collect each major Aelf release at some point in time.

I've just about finished collecting the Idoneth Deepkin, of which I'm missing only the Leviadon and some Isharann.

So that leaves: Sylvaneth and Daughters of Khaine that are available to be collected now, and Tyrion's Angelic race of Reason and Malerion's shadow aelves that will be released in the future.

So, I'm deciding whether to redirect all of that goblin credits into Sylvaneth or Daughters of Khaine.

Right now, I am leaning toward Sylvaneth and am researching some schemes for them. If you guys have any opinions, let me know!

I gotta vote DoK but that's because I've always had dark elves. As for the wood elves, using natural colors has always worked great on them. However, what most people forget is that there are lots of greys in natural colors not just browns and greens...

Yeah, I think Daughters of Khaine's range looks absolutely amazing. The regular Witch Aelves still look really great on their own, and the Melusai, Kheinerai, and Morathi are just out of this world.

I'm also giving them a fair look, there's a lot more resources I can pull from when it comes to painting them too.

Will keep your vote in mind, Dread ;D.

Daughters of Khaine Battleforce Box
Quantity - 1

Melusai
Quantity - 3

Witch Aelves
Quantity - 2

Darkoath Warqueen, (I guess maybe I'm still interested in Slaves to Darkness :))

Some paints.

Not a bad total, paying about $25 out of my own pocket to secure one of the last Battleforce boxes I could find, I'm now three Witch Aelves boxes from reaching my first 2000 point list ;D.

Now I'm just going to have to figure out how to paint them ;) :P. I've got some ideas for color schemes.

I know you'll come up with, gold trim, some really great colors, white hair with red streaks. But I would never tell, pale skin tone, you what would look great. So I'm in suspense to see what you do.

They look fantastic Myen'Tal. Have you assembled them as per their instructions, or is there a bit of customisation going on anywhere?

Is that Blu-tack on the shoulder of this model, or is something else going on?

Thanks guys, the Melusai were pretty fun and easy to build. The Khinerai were too, but their wings are a bit more flimsy and ended up having to trim some of the extra length off a few of them :P ;D.

@Alienscar: A little different than the instructions suggest, I assembled them as Harpies, but just with the Lifetaker heads instead. I don't like the Harpy heads that much. I find the Lifetaker heads that also come in the kit far more dynamic. Some of the spear posing made gluing the heads a bit tricky, but it worked out very well.

Also that spot on the shoulder join isn't blue tack. It's from accidentally nudging the shoulder while the plastic cement was still drying. It doesn't look as bad as the photo suggest. Should be able to paint over that with no problem.

EDIT: I also did the same thing with the Melusai kit.

Assembly Update #3:

UPDATE: "So, Myen'Tal?" I hear you ask. "Painted miniatures, long time, no see?"

A valid question. I've been kind of stuck in painting limbo for the last month, since I've set up temporarily in family's house until I figure out where to relocate to. Don't have much room to paint here, so I haven't really been doing so (even though I want to!), and instead focusing on building more minis.

I hope to rectify this situation sooner rather than later. Especially now since my airbrushes have arrived (finally!)!!! I'll have to go out of town next week to get them. Still have some hobby stuff to purchase before I can start spraying paint, however. And I'll probably need some new housing to accommodate it.

"Alright, Myen'Tal, so what are your goals for your blog at the moment?"

Another good question! Right now, I've been tweaking the 2000 Point goals for the three armies I have now invested in. Of course, changing the army lists will change the armies' composition. I now need more kits, but fortunately, not too many more. I'm not sure when all of this will be acquired, but I'll start plucking away sooner rather than later.

Here is the list:

Stormcast:

1x Evocators
1x Sequitors ETB
1x Sequitors
1x Lord Arcanum on Celestial Dracoline

Optional: 1x Lord Arcanum on Tauralon

Deepkin:

1x Akhelian Guard
1x Akhelian King
1x Akhelian Leviadon
1x Gloomtide Shipwreck

Daughters of Khaine:

3x Witch Aelves
2x Khinerai

Also, here is some progress that I'm making so far:

Assembly Update #3:

Also, here is some progress that I'm making so far:

I have got to say that I enjoy looking at your assembly progress. Putting the models together is a large part of the hobby and not something we see a lot of. For me there is a certain appeal to the way an assembled model looks and sometimes I think a bare plastic model can look better than when it has been painted.

After all no one ever looked at Michelangelo's David, or Rodin's The Thinker and said that they would look better with a coat of paint and a highlight.

Thanks, Alienscar, I love seeing minis without any paint on them too! You get to see all of the craftsmanship created by the artists and designers who made these, before you make the mini your own with some paint. And you're correct, some of my minis would probably look better without paint! ;).

Also, I have a surprise coming tomorrow! No, it's not anything painted :-[ ;).

Indeed! After a couple of games with the Deepkin, I think I've hoped on the All Akhelian Corps lists that are popular right now. Haven't given up on the Namarti, think I'll use them in a Namarti Corps list that I'll build in the future.

Just need one more Akhelian King!

I probably won't touch these newer models until I get the airbrush up and running. But I've got some ideas on how best to tackle them :)! I'll just keep building for now.

No doubt, Dread, it will be glorious! I'm curious how you plan to do your bases? I'm thinking about trying to make a lava base via a Warhammer TV Tutorial. It will definitely work for the Witch Aelves and Khinerai, as they are already above ground. Not sure how it'll work for the Cauldron or the Melusai though... might look like they're sinking in some cataclysm rather than fighting lol!

I'm also thinking that I might do lava bases for... a Scourged Renegade Chapter of Chaos Space Marines :o! Might go ahead and trade off my Stormcast, the Ironjawz that I bought years ago, and the two limited edition Nighthaunt models. I think I only need two AoS armies until Slaves to Darkness come out sometime!

The models look great, your getting the pro-warhammer "to paint" queue :)


Indeed! I've got some friends who are liking AoS, so I'll probably trade my Stormcast off to them! Really want to focus on the Aelves in AoS for the moment, so we'll see!

Now get painting. Looshkin craves paint! Paint for the Paint God.*

Thanks, guys,

As an update, I guess I'm working on trading my stormcast in. I'm trying to downsize down to Daughters of Khaine and Idoneth Deepkin, for Age of Sigmar. My idea is to have two AoS armies this year, which I already have, and expand into Warhammer 40k by the end of the year.

Chaos Space Marines and Sisters of Battle are on my to-collect-list.

Not sure when I'll actually get around to it, but I'm drawing up plans. I'm thinking I want to do a Renegades Force from the new Vigilus book, the Red Corsairs or the Scourged look like some really cool, thematic forces that I have some ideas on for paint schemes. I'm looking to get a hold of the rules, so I can start crafting some armies.

I decided against assembling the crew and most of the accessories such as the weapon caches and banner. Anyone have any advice on building - painting the crew and then attaching it to the model?

Chris Peach has a done a Painting Guide (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JntukXNVms8) for the Leviadon and he suggests painting/assembling the turtle, howdah and crew separately. At the end of the video he just says to assemble them all together with super glue, but doesn't show how this is done.

Post by: Myen'Tal on April 1, 2019, 02:58:11 PM
Thanks for the heads up, Alienscar! Using superglue did occur to me, but I wasn't certain about doing it. Perhaps I'll give it a shot!

for the Leviadon and he suggests painting/assembling the turtle, howdah and crew separately.

I do this for any model that has parts that will get in the way. Super glue can clump so be careful with how much you use if you want to try it. Plastic glues can still work, just depends on how think the paint is. Another option is to carfullly scratch/sand off the undercoat where the parts will join, so its still plastic on plastic.

I would also add that you don't want to glue the platform on, painting under it would be a right pain, especally if your dry brushing the shell.



nice Avatar of Khaine, that model is in on my "one day" list :)

Post by: Myen'Tal on April 2, 2019, 08:10:39 PM
Thanks for the advice, Mage, I'll put it to good use. I removed the Howdah for the most part and will keep it that way until it is painted. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to paint it. I'm thinking on a "Void Turtle" where the shell of the Leviadon is painted jet black and highlighted with brighter blues (Like the Mor'Phann Enclave). Not sure what I'll do for the skin though.

Ideas, ideas ;D!

Blue and green still works, but its all the additional stuff like the platform that was the headache for me as in the sheer phsyical size of each of the parts.

Post by: Myen'Tal on April 6, 2019, 02:08:27 PM
Thanks for the advice guys! I think I'll do that Void Turtle Shell along with the green skin. I think that'll look pretty fancy. Not sure what to do about the Howdah, but I've some ideas!

@Loosh: Patience, Master Jedi ;D. I simply do not have the room at the moment to keep painting, but I'll have some when my situation changes by the end of the month. I'm also ready to paint something!

So, question for all of the Hobby Maniacs on this forum ;D! So, I am at a crossroads... Originally, I was planning on branching into 40k with a Chaos Space Marine army. I can still do that and a part of me still wants too, but the problem is that Chaos still don't have the greatest rules and some of options in the new kits are somewhat bizarre. I mean, there's only one Chaingun in the Havoc Box, and only about one set of each melee weapon in the Terminator box.

I guess there'll always be third party bitz stores, but who knows at what point those may sell out for a good amount of time. I don't really want to be dependent on that.

And now, Slaanesh has been revealed, and I think it would contrast with my two aelven armies extremely well! I love the new models, and I've always been a Slaanesh fan too. So, I could go this route instead.

However, my last option is to jump into 40k from a different angle. Those new Vanguard Primaris look absolutely incredible... thing is, they don't have much in the way of a full range at the moment. I'm sure that'll be rectified by sometime later in the year though.

So... any suggestions about how I should go about choosing an option? :)


P.S: Seraphon also look really cool!!!
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave: The Painting Chronicles (Leviadon & Cauldron)
Post by: Dread on April 6, 2019, 05:51:31 PM
So I just got into chaos myself and believe me, the rules are solid. Last night my Necrons went up against them and whew, it was a good fight. He did a first turn deep strike with warp talons, psyched their movement and he assaulted a 14 strong warrior unit. Totalled them in cc and consolidated into my 5 praetorians, that was his downfall. Apparently since he engaged thru that and had already attacked, I got a free cc with them and took out 5. Then on my turn I finished them off but at a great lose of the 14 warriors. Abandon is really hard to kill too so, chaos is a good crossroad in my opinion for you. Besides the fact that they are fantastic models. As far as putting units together, GW has always done that to us, like the new chaos space marines box only has 2 plasma pistols but it gives you the choice for 2 champions. Give and take, buy more.

The new Slaneesh,oh boy, that's the mark I've been using on my black legion. I have daemonettes I've had for years. Now I can summon them to the battle field using reinforcement rules, different but I like it. The new models looks sweet. The keeper of secrets looks amazing.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your honest opinion, Dread! It's truly appreciated ;D! Yeah I really love the new Chaos Space Marine models, I guess I really just need to understand what makes a good Chaos Marine list... there's so many options and I'm not sure I understand how all of them mesh together into a coherent fighting force.

I really also love the new Slaanesh! It might be something that will just have to wait for now though. I promised a friend of mine that I'd branch into 40k sooner rather than later, and though I like Daemons for Age of Sigmar, I rather play as one of the other factions in 40k.

So, I'll think on it :).

Chaos have a lot of filth in their kit bag in 40k. So you should be able to have some fun friendly games out of the gate.


Dread, There have been changes to deep striking, last I read, turn 1 deep strike is only in your own DMZ and there was big restrictions on how they could move after arriving as well. Not sure they could pull that move off any more.

Also, I'm using the camera from my new Samsung phone. Let me know if I should make any adjustments. Personally, I think the images are coming out with much more pinpoint precision and higher quality.

Also, in other news: I played a game against a good friend of mine, who brought his Maggotkin to the field. I created a Battle Report for that in the Age of Sigmar forum.

Thanks, Mage, I'm really happy with how he came out!

As for the Snakes, I haven't chosen a color scheme yet. There's so many potential combinations that work well with the Daughters of Khaine. It'll take me a little while to choose one :). I'm torn between doing a bright and vibrant scheme or something more brooding.

For now, though, I'll keep on trucking with the Deepkin :).

Anywho, I can't wait to see what your going to do with her and the rest of the army but understand it'll be a bit, water elves are cool too!

Thanks, Dread! Yeah, I don't think you can go wrong with either box set to be honest! Both are pretty amazing on their own!

I did do the grey brush on primer experiment, but I think I'm going to wait until I get airbrushing before I start on the Daughters in earnest.

Daughters of Khaine Assembly Update:

Sorry if the photos are a bit off, I'm working in a room with not that much light in it. I've only really got my LED Lamp and some ceiling lights to work with. I've got to be careful with the LED lamp or it'll create harsh shadows. Going to have to find another solution I think to that problem.

Thanks guys, glad that you're liking them! ;D

I'll actually have an important update in a week or two. I've officially ordered an air compressor and the entire Citadel Air Range. I've also gotten a few auxiliary items from the vallejo range. I should now be officially ready to start airbrushing in a week or so.

EDIT: So, bad news, the sylvaneth stuff that I bought got refunded today. Not my choice, or the seller's fault. Looncurse shortage meant that he didn't get any. So, not certain if I'll jump into sylvaneth immediately now. Store owner is offering me 30% off, so I might get some as anyway 😋.

EDIT #2:

Managed to snatch two of the last three in a gaming store about half an hour away! Disaster averted!

Yeah, I've been on the fence about Sylvaneth for several months now. But when the new stuff was reve as led, I realized that I had to have it  :P. Now that I've got them in person though, the models are gorgeous! Not sure why I held off of them for so long.

Agreed, as someone who has used the woods as terrain, it's a complete pain to move stuff through them. The new Wyldwoods don't seem to have a place where you can move into them, maybe I should look again.

Yep, got crazy lucky getting a box at all, let alone two! Better be quick about that Squig Boss, who knows how long he'll be on the market.

If you were State side, I would hooked you up ;D! Thought about keeping the gloomspite side, but I've decided to sell it. Don't really need a fourth AoS army right now  :P.

What Magenb said, definitely. Glad you're moving up but remember it won't fix everything, trust me most of us have been there with the splatter or the spitting and clogging. So be wary. There's also a lot that can be accomplished like smooth white, shadowing, solid base coats, etc. Just don't be afraid to ask for guidance, lots of pros on here.

Thanks, guys, I don't expect to be an airbrush master over night. When I have questions, I'll definitely come to you guys if research cannot solve it. I appreciate the good will! I'm still waiting on some auxiliary supplies... Flow Improver, thinner, cleaner, etc. So I'm not sure when I'll exactly be able to get started.

Looking good. I originally grabbed some of these guys to do an exodite conversions, but I really enjoyed painting my ancients, simple washes and dry brushing works really well and plenty of room to correct things if(when) I screwed up lol. So much so I never ended up trying to convert them.

Post by: Myen'Tal on May 15, 2019, 08:24:36 PM
Thanks, Mage! Yeah, cannot wait to get started on this Sylvaneth army to be honest. I've narrowed down the schemes that I want to do them in to either Clan Gnarlroot, Heartwood, or Harvestboon. I think I'm favoring Harvestboon honestly, they have a really striking color scheme that I like.

I've actually got another start collecting box for Sylvaneth on the way, thanks to a trade I made for some Slaanesh stuff I initially bought.

I think I'll assemble a Durthu for my next treeman. I've got about 18 T-Revenants left. Three Kurnoth Hunters to go. And a bunch of Dyrads that I haven't touched yet!

EDIT: Trying to decide the configuration of my T-Revenants. Not certain if I want 2 units of 10 or 4 units of 5 with command groups. I understand Tree Revenants aren't that great with the current rules. But that might change with the new battletome... do I take the risk and make some 10 strong units?
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave! (Life...Is...Rising!!!)
Post by: Dread on May 15, 2019, 10:35:55 PM
Looking good, great start for sure on the army. As for the question, in earlier versions of fantasy I would have gone with 10 strong, I still lean towards more wound units but with AoS, units of 5 could work great. I guess it really depends on what their role is going to be on the battle field. I'm not familiar with their rules but if they have a high toughness then they could be good with just 5 for holding units while stronger units can get in position to strike. If strong and multiple attacks, then they could be better at 10 strong to tear up enemy units. I hope this helps.
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave! (Life...Is...Rising!!!)
Post by: Myen'Tal on May 15, 2019, 10:51:31 PM
Thanks for the advice, Dread! Well, Tree Revanents have a 5+ save and 1 wound a piece. Their points cost for 5 models also kind of hampers their ability to be taken in greater numbers. But this is for the old rules.

Dryads are simply more effective at the moment. I'm hoping to see some real changes for the T-Revs in the new battletome. They're good for board control and objective grabbing, but I'd like to use the battleline option as an actual frontline unit.

So that's my conundrum, Haha. I'll go ahead and assemble two command squads, then leave my other two unassembled until the time drops.

Speaking of AoS, how are those Goblins coming along Dread?

At a stand still again. Health problems again. REALLY REALLY wanted looncurse but no money which is good because our local store only got 2 in and gone that quick. I'm actually trying to force myself to go back to my hobby room right now and paint but wore put from work today, ehh, who knows just might. Been living thru watching ya'll paint. Our KT groups have dissolved but hoping the release of elites will kick it back up. Still don't know if it will or if I'll get time. I got an 87 Chevy pick up last week and we're changing the engine out so I hope to get some game time in after working in it.

Blah blah blah. I got long winded there. If I paint tonight, I post progress pics. Thanks for asking.

That sucks, Dread (except the Pickup Truck, that's cool 8)). I hope you'll be in good health soon! Also hope you'll get some paint time sooner rather than later. I now know what not being able to paint is like, and it's a whole lot of boredom ;).

Here's more hobby progress for you to ogle at!

Question for you guys. So, I've purchased the Vallejo Mecha Color Primer (Black and White). I've just now read the instructions on the primer and it mentions that it has a satin finish when it dries. Is that going to be a problem for a matte finish if I paint over that? Do I just need to hit a primed miniature with a matte varnish before I start painting?
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave! (Life...Is...Rising!!!)
Post by: Dread on May 17, 2019, 01:53:21 AM
It's a primer so satin makes no difference. You can paint any finish paint over no prob.when you seal the finished model with gloss, all glossy, with satin, all satin and with matte it will all be dull.
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave! (Life...Is...Rising!!!)
Post by: magenb on May 18, 2019, 04:57:56 AM
Regarding satin finish, it depends on what you put on top. If you pop a semi transperant paint or wash it will turn out a little different, but if you put a base or layer over top its no real difference.
Title: Re: Myen'Tal's Conclave! (Life...Is...Rising!!!)
Post by: Dread on May 18, 2019, 03:33:35 PM
Only if you don't seal coat it afterwards then you can really see a difference. You are correct my friend.

Thanks, guys, that's one problem laid to rest. I still need an adapter for my airbrush, which I'm planning on grabbing from our local tool store this weekend. Still waiting on some items to ship before I begin though.

In the meantime, here is what I've been working on:

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FCyZh2Nz.jpg&hash=3dd7fcd6cccda9dc17d59b56c2791ddfba71af6c) (https://imgur.com/CyZh2Nz)

So, what's left for the Sylvaneth that I own, you ask?

1 Durthu
32 Dryads
5 Tree-Revenants
1 Branchwych
... and that's it for now!

In the future, I'm planning to have three squads of six for each of the Kurnoth Hunter variants.
Also I want Allarielle. Besides the new Sylvaneth stuff, I think that'll do it for the time benig.

As for my other Aelven armies, here is the list of stuff I haven't collected / haven't assembled yet.

15 Khinerai Harpies
60 Witch Aelves
10 Melusai
1 Akhelian King
1 Ylthari's Guardians

And that's about it! I'm selling off all of my Namarti, because I primed them black and am wanting to do another, more vibrant scheme. But this time, I think I'll be focused solely on Namarti Reavers. I'm not sold on the Thralls, at least until General's Handbook comes out.

Thanks for tuning in!

Oh so cool! I'm so glad to see them all assembled. Now the grueling part, haha, I mean fun part. Will be waiting, trying to paint too, on your progress.

BTW, sad your selling them but understand, I've done the same thing for the same reason but replacing them, great. I've had 3 dark elf armies and now working on the 4th. I've had 4 sisters of battle armies and will be getting a 5th. Don't even get me started on orcs, vampire counts and the many others. But now I've slowed down, it's a good thing but then the new stuff comes out and its, EEEKK! Bug eyed and figuring out what to rid of to afford the new. Great addiction tho!

Thanks Dread! I think after the first few attempts to start up armies that caught my fancy, I now know that I'm not interested in every new thing that comes out there. There are still a few armies outside of aelves that I'd like to take up sometime, but right now I have enough to keep my occupied and satisfied. I was a bit saddened to sell off my stormcast, goblins, and the little slaanesh that I had, but having the armies that I've always wanted makes me much happier, haha!

Got nothing more to sell off for new stuff anymore though :P. Right now I'm just waiting for the new General's Handbook, Sylvaneth Battletome and related items, and a few of the contrast paints.

I actually was very excited to paint sylvaneth with the contrast paints, but after some thought... I really want to give it some extra attention rather than settle for battle ready.

I've decided on the Heartwood Glade for my color scheme. Cannot wait to finally get the rest of my stuff in and start painting!

EDIT: Actually, still haven't decided on my paint scheme yet... I want to do something different than the GW Schemes. I'll have to look at the paints I have and see what works. Also need to see more of these contrast paints before I decide to use them or not. Want to see the more advanced techniques they can be used for.

HERESY!! ;)

Its good to let a favourite army to take ROOT, you will have plenty of time to BRANCH out anyway. It will stop you going BARKing mad from having paint yet another pointy ear... /dad_jokes

From what I've seen so far the contrast paints are to let you do the base colour and wash all in one go as a one thick coat. It will be interesting to see if anyone finds another use for them though. I'll be interested to see how they work with big transistions, like on a long cloak.

Another question: So, I already have some Akhelians that are primed and base coated. Would it be an issue to spray another coat of primer over them?

The two primers should stick just fine. You'll just have an extra layer of paint, so keep it as thin as you can. 


I'm assuming you want to put on a light primer. One trick I've seen with speed painters, is to spray a dark primer, then a second light primer from above, so most of the shading is done.

Post by: Myen'Tal on May 24, 2019, 07:17:47 PM
Hi Mage,

Well the thing is that the new contrast paints require these two new spray primers, which can as also be touched up with their base variants. It's in the new warhammer community article about contrast paints.

Now that I think about it, the new Contrast Primer is also coming in base paint variants... Don't need to prime them again, just need to add another layer of paint I think!

EDIT:

So, a good friend of mine here in Nashville texted me some cool stuff that he's working on. I think it's really cool what he achieved, and asked him if I could share it here on the blog.

Here is my friend Horacio's Daughters of Khaine WIP!

Well the thing is that the new contrast paints require these two new spray primers, which can as also be touched up with their base variants. It's in the new warhammer community article about contrast paints.

The new contrast primers are simply light colours, as the contrast paints are translucent. You can just put a light paint over them instead of the primer, so yeah give that airbrush a work out :)

The shark is looking great mate, the skin is looking very smooth.

Thanks for the compliment, Mage! I actually gave the Citadel Air paints a try with a brush. I see now that they really are meant for airbrushes. You can get some of the colors to work with a brush, but you have to apply in really thin layers. I guess that's something I should be practicing anyway, so I went ahead and applied several thin coats over the course of painting.

Seems like it worked ;D.

I actually gave the Citadel Air paints a try with a brush.

I have not tried the Citadel Air paints, but the Vallejo Air White is fantastic for doing thin white lines with a brush. You can also use the metallic air colours like a wash on metals, especially if you want more of a matte finish rather than a glossy oil.

Great to know, Mage! I remember giving the Vallejo Air range a try several years ago, but I never really got back into it since then. How do you find the Vallejo Air compared to the Vallejo Game Air range? And that's a question for anyone who would like to answer :). Do you think I should look into those ranges at all?

Im, well, I'm speechless. The colors, the overall texture, just wow! You just get better and better. Great job.

Thanks, Dread! Glad you think I'm improving! I'm super stoked about how this one came out lol. Glad that you like it. ;D

EDIT:

So, here's my current Sylvaneth force:

So, what's crossed off of my list?

20 Tree Revenants
12 Dryads

2 Arch Revenants
1 Branchwych
6 Kurnoth Hunters with Scythes

What's on the build next list?

Thanks, Loosh! That means a lot to me ;D! I'm glad everyone thinks I'm getting better! I'll probably be taking a break until the contrast paints come out. I think I'll be putting the Deepkin on hold for the moment and paint some Sylvaneth when the contrast is available.

We'll see.

How do you find the Vallejo Air compared to the Vallejo Game Air range? And that's a question for anyone who would like to answer :). Do you think I should look into those ranges at all?

I was going off memory for the name of the paint range, I've only tried Vallejo Model Air range and not that many colours. Most of my Vallejo paints are from their model series rather than their game series, but I don't see much difference between them.

What I have noticed is that Vallejo paint colours separate far more often than citadel's (normal paint not the Air paints). Just means they need more shaking before use. There is a colour conversion chart, but to be honest its hit and miss, for example, "Cavalry Brown" in model colour is meant to be close to "Wazdakka Red" in GW, but it is actually very close to "Martian Ironearth", which is no where near Wazdakka. I now take the empty GW pot with me to double check.


The Allopex looks awesome. I really like the Elve's skin tone and the colour for the frame the gunner is standing on is brilliant.

I'll probably be taking a break until Contrast comes out. That's for painting though. Will remain assembling what I have. Which is like two Melusai boxes and 4 more Dryads.

The Start Collecting Box I received in a trade has not shown up yet. My good friend who bought the box will wait one more day before calling Ebay about it.

So that is unfortunately on hold. I guess in the meantime I'll get more hobby supplies... brushes, brush cleaner, etc... my most used brushes are about shot lol.

So, I've ordered some of the new Air Paints, mainly the new metallic that are available now. I also ordered some of the Clear Paints... Eidolon Purple, Calth Blue, Angron Red. I hear they go over opaque, but change the tint of the color beneath to something different. I think it'll go good over a metallic color, but if anyone has any advice, let me know!

So, the store that I have a $100 credit with after trading in my Namarti and some other stuff... has had a delay in their pre-order to Monday. I'm going to try to order the entire Contrast range plus some new base paints and layers too. We'll see how that goes.

On another note, I need some help. So, my airbrush, a Badger Vega 1500, cannot attach to the air hose that I bought because the airbrush connector is slightly too big and I think perhaps the wrong thread. The 1/8 connection on the airbrush screws into the compressor without issue. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what kind of connector I need to attach the airbrush to the hose.

I believe I found what I'm looking for! Disregard this scribbled out message!

If anyone can lend any advice, I'd appreciate it!

Daughters of Khaine Scheme:

I'm still trying to figure this one out... so hear me out! I'm thinking about pallid skin tone, royal purple / sunburst yellow clothes and alternating the two colors between the main hair color and the streaks that will go on there.

Purple: Shyish Purple Contrast -> Kakaphoni Purple or Xerus Purple
Yellow: Iyanden Yellow Contrast -> Flash Gitz Yellow or Yriel Yellow -> Sigismund Yellow

What do you guys think?

Sylvaneth:

So, I'm thinking I want to do an Autumn themed Sylvaneth force for my collection. I actually think that the Gnarlroot Clan is perfect for this! Richly warm wood for the main body and emerald wood for the darker bark. Hair will be an emerald color and the flesh will be fair and light.

I also got a load of stuff from Green Stuff World to do some bases that are Mid-Spring-Transitioning-into-Autumn.

What do you guys think?

Nice desk!

Nice air brush!

I like your DoK idea but I would test paint one first. The yellow is kinda throwing me off but seeing it may change my mind. Just sounds, well, bright.

Definitely agree with autumn theme. Oranges and browns, golden yellows, just sounds groovy.

Can't wait to see!

Post by: Myen'Tal on June 8, 2019, 11:32:50 PM
Thanks, Dread! :)

Yeah, I'll definitely have to test the scheme out. I think for the yellow to work, I might need a deep and lush shade of purple like Shyish purple. I was thinking about Magos Purple layered with Kakaphoni purple, but we'll see.

I guess a dark grey / matte black would work in place of the yellow too if I used a brighter purple like Magos Purple!

I might try to test out that blue / crimson scheme too.

Post by: magenb on June 10, 2019, 05:56:52 PM
The yellow on the DoK doesn't sound right, its not a colour I would mix with their very dark lore. Dark colours for the cloth and leather against a pale skin will pop. I spend  fari amount of time on this site when I'm trying to think up colur schemes.https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/ (https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/)

The Sylvaneth scheme sounds good, looking forward to seeing how they turn out :).

Thanks, Dread! I actually fired up the airbrush for the first time today! Waiting on four models to dry, then I'll post the result! Had to fiddle with PSI settings so that the primer wasn't coming out liquid. Fixed that though. Also took a minute to figure out I need to keep the compressor on for auto refill of air. Also found out that my airbrush can blow straight air too if there's excess primer on the model.

So, mixed results, I think? I had to kick it up to 50-60 psi for the spray to go on somewhat normal... but the consistency still seemed a little liquid and not completely spray. I applied Vallejo Mecha Primer White directly to the airbrush... no thinner. Would that have made any difference?

The coats are on there, but it's not as clean as I'd like. I know you don't have to have a completely opaque coat with primer though. Still... I feel like I can get better results with time.

Any advice?

EDIT: Touched up with a heavy drybrush of ulthuan grey.

Post by: Dread on June 15, 2019, 07:27:31 PM
For the primer, and paints, thinning is pretty much a rule. Your psi should be 25-35. Water based primers and paints usually a 50/50 and use distilled water or alcohol or a mix of both, alcohol helps stop tip clogging as well as reduce dry time. Other paints such as enamels, while good too, I would not suggest for this hobby. Model cars, boats and the like yes, but water base is better for what we're doing here. I haven't used any air brush paints but according to some of our friends on here there are some good ones. As for primer, I use rustoleum 2x flat black primer or armory white primer spray cans, I've found thru the years works great. The pots of primer, I've never had real good luck with. Most of what I do is translated from painting cars and murals, if I could use those on models I would but if I did, I'd have to be sure of what I'm doing, no cleaning those off plastic. Simple green will get the water based paints of pretty good without hurting the plastic.

Wow, I got long winded there. I hope this helps, just remember if water based it needs to drip from a stir stick like water, if not will clog and go on real heavy blurring some of the detail.

Thanks for the information, Dread! Vallejo Mecha Primer is acrylic  :)So thinning is something that I knew I should do, but in this case, I wasn't certain if I was supposed to do it. I thought the primer was liquidy because it was too thin already, but I see now it is the opposite and it's too thick. I already have what I need to thin my paints for the airbrush, so I'll be doing that next time definitely!

Good learning experience!

I'll fire up the airbrush tomorrow for another round and see if I'm more successful

EDIT: Aaannd, I broke a piece of the airbrush dissembling it. Turns out I dissembled a piece that I should not have, the trigger. Will be sending back to Badger for repair... good thing they have a lifetime labor warranty!

Sounds good. Remember dropping psi will help keep the paint more smooth. Higher psi can cause a lot of over spray which can cause a roughness/texture you may not want.

Keep 'em coming. I'm working on some sisters models, put my DoK on hold for a bit as well as my night goblins and a few others I was working on.

very vibrant, is the white done with the new white contrast paint as well? The paint looks very grey to me in real life.

Thanks, Mage! I didn't use the white contrast paint actually, I think that one's called Apothecary White? I used the Gryph-Charger Grey instead, since I wanted a more cool grey rather a bright white.

Next weekend, I'm going to start highlighting these test models and see how that goes. Hopefully I'll be able to send my airbrush in for repair sometime this week and get it back next week.

I think my next contrast project, when I get my airbrush back, will be to see what I can do with the Leviadon  ;D.

Wow, those minis look great. I'll have to check out contrast paint.

Thanks, Blazinghand, and please do try them out!

So, here is what I've found out about contrast paints so far!

1 - You do not necessarily need to use the "Grey Seer" or "Wraithbone" contrast paints for an undercoast / basecoat. I achieved all of this stuff with Vallejo Mecha Primer with Ulthuan Grey drybrushed on. I only used the ulthuan grey because I screwed up the undercoat a little.

2- Don't underestimate the contrast medium! Thinning down the contrast paints with this medium is what turns this paint from mediocre to all-stars, in my book! It really changes the nature of each contrast paint, makes them smoother while also making the colors softer and far less harsh, streaky, and splotchy!

3- About any contrast paint painted over various shades of gold gives each contrast paint an interesting metallic properties! The metallic on the Daughters of Khaine was done with Akhelian Green over a Valdor Gold air paint. Also the stone the witch aelf is jumping over is using Talassar Blue instead of the Akhelian Green. The staff handle on the Kurnoth's hunter's scythe is Warp Lightning over Valdor Gold as well.

4- Multiple thin coats... please do not use these paints in one thick coat. I've achieved each of these colors with 2-3 thinned down coats of each color.

5- Mixing in different color shade paints with some of the Contrast Flesh Paints, can produce some interesting flesh variation colors! The Witch Aelf's flesh was created from two drops of carroburg crimson into some gulliman flesh!

6- The models are definitely battle ready, but I feel that taking the time to highlight them will make them truly stand out. I haven't done any of that yet on these models, but I'm definitely going to!

That's all that I've discovered for now!

EDIT: Basing Test!

Yeah I noticed the streaky and splotchy effect too, but I was using them like a normal paints, rather than going for the one thick coat, it does work if you really load up the brush, it just feels wrong lol. I'll try thinning them on the next one, thanks for the tip.

Try silvers instead of gold :)

Just another tip, don't be afraid to be generous with the medium! I find that I'm now using about a brush full to every two brush fulls on contrast paint. Doing it this way requires a second thin coat over the first to build opacity. I hope this helps!

Oh my my my...you've been busy. I'm amazed at how well they look. Just from the pics, I can't see anything you need to do. Additional highlights maybe but not necessarily needed, they look great. The color choice, you always get that dead on doing colors I've never thought of or did and didn't think they would work but you prove me wrong, always.thats good. Keep up the great work.   8)

Really appreciate that compliment, Dread! Sometimes I look at my stuff and think from time to time, is that scheme a little too crazy / disjointed? Comments like yours and everyone else's helps me put things into perspective on whether I'm really improving with my color choices or just being over eccentric. Plus it inspires me to challenge myself further with this kind of stuff ;D.

I really want to tackle that Leviadon now... Eidolon, I might also have some ideas for. We'll see :D! Either way I need an airbrush to continue... got the second one I bought on the way finally. The first one is going in for repair soon.

I'm so excited to keep painting with this stuff! I feel like I could do just about anything this weekend, lol. I think I might try to get some squads up along with that Leviadon if things go well enough.

Post by: Myen'Tal on June 24, 2019, 12:53:18 AM
Thanks, Mage! ;D

I'm still working on the cloak, the rivulets of water need to be highlighted. I was going to highlight with stormhost silver, but the contrast I layered on several metallic sections of the wave came out more water like thsn I thought. So I have to think of a color to use.

Yeah, contrast made the blending easy for the Leviadon flesh. I really didn't like the shell until I shaded it with contrast medium thinned nuln oil. I like it s lot more now, but I think perhaps I should have done something more organic. Still, I think it looks good, just depends on your taste, lol.

So, what do you guys want to see next?

I have Treelord Ancient, Kurnoth Hunters, Tree Revenants, Dryads, Arch Revenant, Eels, Akhelian, King, Khinerai, Witch Aelves, Melusai, Morathi, Cauldron, and HQs.

Will work on some infantry during the week, then will try to do something bigger this weekend.

EDIT: Just so it is known, I plan to continue all of these contrast models with further highlighting in the future. Eight now, I am just trying to get all of my models to tabletop standard. Once I've done all of that and completed the bases, I will move onto the highlighting stage. Sorry if it seemed that I wouldn't take it to that level, nothing wrong with tabletop standard, but I feel like I should try to g ok all the way. Especially since I'm accelerating this whole process, for me at least, at an unsuspected speed.

Wish me luck!

Thanks, Blazinghand, appreciate the feedback. Yeah I figured some vibrant war paint on the Hunters' faces would make them stand out. Glad you think that it does. Each Squad will have their own face paint.

Working on assembling my deepkin reinforcements... might try the citadel air paints and see how many coats I can get on my base coated Akhelians. We'll see how that work out.

Hi Dread, so the contrast was used on all of the recent additions to the thread. This Kurnoth Hunter is no exception, no highlights yet either. The gulliman flesh is pretty good, haven't tried the others though.

That Eidolon Sea Cloak looks absolutely terrific so far. Please tell me which paints you used! Also, was it one coat of one and then the other applied on top of the first, or was it two separate areas blended together?

You're certainly getting work done with these new paints!
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Eidolon & Leviadon WIP!!! Kurnoth Great Bow!)
Post by: Myen'Tal on June 29, 2019, 10:19:45 AM
Thanks, Loosh! Here is the process that I created to do the cloak. I created the recipe myself, so there are no videos on it yet! ;D


Eidolon Sea Cloak:

1 - Primed black with Vallejo mecha primer

2 - based entire cloak in leadbelcher

3 - layered top section of cloak with Iron Hands Steel

4 - layered middle section with Grey Knights Steel

5- layered bottom section with valdor gold

6- Steps 3, 4, and 5 a second time, doing fast enough to blend them where the colors meet

7 - talsssar blue contrast over the iron hands steel

8 - Akhelian green over the grey knights steel

9 - Terradon Turquoise over the valdor gold

10 - blend colors where they meet during first and second coatss. Contrast takes as little while to dry, but the quicker the better.

11 - future step, highlight waves with stormhost silver, then leave as is or apply contrast over them again.

Snagged these for $50!!! From a good friend who was looking to downsize before he moved across the country. So stoked!!!

Nice pickup, adeptus mechanicus are a fun army to paint and play. Those melee guys basically have uzzi's that count as pistols, so they can shoot into close combat as well, it one of my favourite units in the army. Will be interested to see how they might work with the new transport that's coming out.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Mechanicus!!!)
Post by: Myen'Tal on June 30, 2019, 09:23:30 PM
Hi Mage, so... might not actually play this army. I've been running the numbers after sifting through the Mechanicus army to determine it's worth. It comes to about $620 MSRP. So, I've been thinking that I might trade it in to help finish my current AoS armies that I'm working on. All three of my projects have stagnated a bit in terms of collecting what I need. Being able to get my Daughters of Khaine to 2000 points would be huge for me, as I've decided to focus on them for the time being. I've gotten a bit tired of painting Idoneth for the moment, and with the Sylvaneth Battletome not out, my collection for them has halted at the moment, for the most part.

So I'm thinking on it. I've actually been under the tutelage of a group of Tournament players that are teaching me how to play AoS in their style. Apparently, I'm not as bad as I thought, but I still have a ways to go. The leader of the tournament group is really pressuring me to finish my daughters of Khaine, as he needs to playtest his list against them ;).

Also really thinking I need to start investing into a carrying case for my armies... as they're too vulnerable in the boxes I'm using :P.

So that's the update. May have posted the mechanicus stuff a little too soon :P.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Mechanicus!!!)
Post by: magenb on July 1, 2019, 06:56:12 PM
Yeah fair enough, better to finish of one collection.

There are a lot of option for carry cases floating around. Traditional foam case work, but if the model has thin bits that stick out like spikes or even bow tips, it tends to get caught in the foam. Packing and unpacking the army takes a while, especially if you are not pulling every thing out compared to Magnet cases.

Magnet cases are rather good and fairly easy to make yourself and can be done cheaper than foam cases. The pre-made cases tend to be good if you have a lot of infantry, but not so great if you have physically large models, so making your own can work well. I've also seen people make magnetic movement trays for fantasy systems, so the entire unit is pulled from the case and is ready to go.

Post by: Myen'Tal on July 1, 2019, 07:49:49 PM
Thanks for the information, Mage! Yeah, sad to see the Mechanicus go, but I think it's for the best. Sisters of Battle will be my main focus for 40k, I think. Plus, I might be interested in another order army if I complete my Daughters and Idoneth... it's s secret for now though... but I don't think it's been on this forum yet😁.

Wh as t do you think of the Phobos Foundry Overlord magnet cases?
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Mechanicus!!!)
Post by: magenb on July 2, 2019, 06:17:04 PM
They look good, I really like the barriers to stop horizontal movement. AOS has alot of very large models, which will cause you to miss out on a number of shelves in that design. I would use a case like that to carry small to medium sized mini's, then have another case for large models. Morathi's wings are huge with thin bits sticking out, I would want to stick her in a foam lined container and use a filler like buble wrap or even the foam noodle things.

There are heaps of ways to make your own case system, lots of youtube and blogs floating around, ranging from super cheap builds using large plastic containers from the hardware store, to hard case conversions.

I hated having multiple cases, the foam made them really bulky to carry just 2k worth of points. I highly recommend any case system that has a trolley and connects together. I converted a makeup/cosmetics trolley, one section is all magnets, the bottom, is for big models like wraithknights, I now only need multiple case for Apoc level games, but that's always going to happen due to the size of titans and super heavy tanks and its maybe once a year.

I'm looking into how much you can customize this stuff. If I'm able to adjust the space between racks to accommodate my larger models, then I'm sold lol!!! ;D ;D

As you mentioned Mage, I'm would use one case for storing all of my normal sized or smaller minis, then use another case that I can adjust the space for larger models! Quite a great idea!

Been awhile since I've highlighted anything, I feel rusty lol. I'm trying to highlight the armor, but I'm finding it quite difficult to be honest!

Any tips?

I just love the colors. Honestly don't think it needs highlights from what I see in the pics bit if you must, I would suggest Storm host silver dry brushed. Keep 'em coming.

Thank you, Dread, I will probably end up highlighting him, but I appreciate that you don't think it's necessary :). I'm still working on him, not quite finished yet. Got some clean up to do, weapon to finish, flesh to paint, and finishing the fins too. Will keep you guys updated!

Hi guys, does anyone have any advice for reassembling an airbrush?

I've gotten both of my brushes dissembled for some cleaning... now I'm trying to figure out how the trigger goes back into the brush correctly... everything is else is relatively simple and straightforward.

Any advice?
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (W.I.P. Akhelian King)
Post by: Dread on July 12, 2019, 07:08:09 PM
If it's the one you pictured it should have a spring that goes under the trigger and the little angle bracket goes behind it with the bend aiming to the back. Then slide the needle thru and adjust it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Mage, so I figured out how to reassemble thanks to your link. Problem is now that the trigger is not flexing anymore.

Any tips?

By flexing, do you mean its not bouncing back to the ready position very well? For me, this happened as the "rocker" was in a bad position when I put the "needle tube" back in. Effectively the rocker was just on a bad angle.

So I rebuild the airbrush by:
Trigger, rocket (using tweezers), load the needle from the front as a bent needle tip can damage the "tip" causing air to rush back into your paint chamber. Then load the "needle tube", spring and spring adjuster, no chuck just yet.

Pull the needle in so you can see the tip of the needle in the paint well. Then very carefully screw the tip back in, I say carefully as I have over tightened the tip, which snaps off, leaving the thread still in the air brush, luckily it was a cheapo I learned that lesson on.

I then finish the back end of the brush, test the trigger and needle movement, then add the regulator and end cap on the front, finally the air valve, which I leave connected to the hose any way.

Then water test to make sure there is no bubble forming in the paint well or any leaks, both are signs that something is not sealing correctly.

Thanks Mage! Glad that you like them. I realize there are few things that I need to fix, I completely forgot about one of Morathi's gauntlets, and some other things could use a second pass.

Other than that, though, I'm not too fussed about how they came out :D. I do think I need to learn some patience, however. I keep trying to apply contrast before something is fully dried lol. I'm going to try to do better about that.

Treelord Ancient came out pretty well, I think... would give another coat onto the wood to make it as dark as the kurnoth hunters' wood, maybe change his face paint, and then eventually pick out all the leaves and base.

EDIT 8) 8) :) :) ;D ;D!!!!: So, I just realized that I've officially passed the one year mark since I came back to 40k online, since Looshkin and Cavalier convinced me to start my own painting blog, and since the decision I made to finally dive into the hobby!

I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on what I've done throughout the past year:

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyvDryvr.jpg&hash=57c3b60fdf5efac60fadfd5c3a0741e80922415e) (https://imgur.com/yvDryvr)

Wouldn't be here without the 40k Online community mentoring me in the Art of Brush. Appreciate you guys!!! I feel like I've overcome a lot of challenges, but that I have many more to face and defeat. I don't plan on being a brush master, but I hope to become good enough that I can consistently create what I envision for my armies.

Yeah I had the same problem starting out, but a trick I use is to swap out what you are doing. So base colour one unit, then go do detailed work on another, makes some bases, etc. Its better than pulling out a hair drier.

You've got some great stuff in this thread, and I'm only halfway through. The quality seems to be going up every page though; so I'm looling forward to the second half. :)

How are you finding the different Aelves in AoS? They are so many great models in the range, but I the game is not very popular in my area, so I have yet to take the plunge myself.

@Nutty: Thank you for the kind words, Nutty! They're much appreciated.

To answer your question, I've only played several games with my Idoneth so far, the rest I've been building. What I've been able to do with my Deepkin, they really do feel reminiscent of the elite Asur from the Fantasy World, and I actually really like that. Their definitely grandiose and hit very hard, and surprisingly, some of their units aren't that brittle.

It's actually the infantry that'll fall over from a sea breeze lol.

Lore-wise though, I'm actually in love with all of the aelven factions so far. They're all remarkably changed, but in a way that seems like they've embraced the nature of their inner fey. They're definitely more in tune with their environments than most other races, and their lore is tragic, but also filled with all of the valor, pride, and martial prowess expected of the Aelves!!!

I'll be posting a Bat-Rep between Daughters of Khaine vs Slaanesh sometime tomorrow evening after the game. Stay tuned!!!

Nice; I always enjoy reading a good batrep.

I started my warhammer career with the Asur during the start of 6h edition; but made the switch to Druchii fairly quickly. To be honest part of the reason I can't seem to get in AoS is because I still haven't forgiven GW for splitting them up in a bunch of subfactions and leaving several of my favourite units in the "index" scrolls, which unlike in 40k, makes it a lot harder to include them.

You may be in luck then, Nutty, with the Free Cities Battletome on the horizon. Most of the order range is being combined into one battletome. Some of the older models probably won't survive the transition, but the vast majority should!


Well, there'll be no Daughters of Khaine report today, as during the game, I made a game changing mistake that caused me and my opponent to call it a draw. Zealot's Rage grants rerolls of hit rolls from turn 3 for DoK. I applied this to turn 1 and 2, after mistakenly reading it wrong. Now, turn 2 was alright, since I got sacrament of blood off on turn 2, which legally granted me those re-rolls for that turn.

Buuut... so much stuff had died on both sides in turn one that we simply couldn't ignore. Thanks to my opponent for being gracious enough to accept the mistake and calling me a good sportsman for telling him about it when I figured it out.

You guys should have seen it though, even with all of those rerolls turn one, it was anybody's game up until the end lol.

Not yet, I'll be looking to sometime soon ;D! 

Now I'm usually not too fussed about ultramarines... They're alright, but I feel like this is a color scheme that I must try ;D! Who knows, maybe an army might come of it soon.

(https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/SMCustomChapterTactics-Aug6-Opener5ujhcef.jpg)

NOTE: So, I might be selling my Daughters of Khaine sometime... after the first match that I had with them, even considering that I made a mistake for most of the game... I actually did not enjoy them as much as did my Idoneth and Sylvaneth in their first games. I've been pondering why I wasn't really feeling them, and I think it's because they're really not fitting my playstyle.

Those of you who have followed me know that I tend to like more elite armies rather than hordes... but I don't know, I feel like some armies would be exceptions, Daughters of Khaine being one of them. I'm going to try to give them another game or two before making a decision.

That's not the only reason I'd be selling them though... I just got too many AoS armies going on right now :P! It would be one thing if I had at least one army completed, but... right now I have three that I'm trying to churn through... and the Daughters of Khaine are adding so many more models to the pile, well over a hundred!

And I have 40k to consider...

I could definitely invest that money back into my Idoneth and Sylvaneth to get them completed!

So, Dread... if you're looking for more Witch Aelves, we can try to strike something ;)? I know there's complications with customs, model transport safety, and what not... we can talk if you're interested.

That's a nice scheme for marines, reminds me a bit of the Astral Claw colours during the Badab War.

You'd think that as far as hordes go; one consisting of bikini-clad women in thigh high boots would be the best kind.. maybe it really isn't your playstyle.

Yeah,  you'd think so ;D, but I don't know. Daughters of Khaine feel a little lackluster to me, perhaps they're not enigmatic undersea raiders who dwell in the depths and fight like the wax and wane of the tides. They're also not forest spirits that dwell in the wyldwoods... I guess I just like how Idoneth and Sylvaneth play and how it's reflected in their lore.

They have extra nuances and niches to consider, that I think makes them very fun tactically and to play. Daughters are kind of the fragile point of a dagger, you always have to aim true and strike your enemy before they can retaliate too strongly and tear your armies apart.

It's kind of like that for Aelves in general, but I feel Daughters of Khaine take it to an extreme and I'm not certain that fits me :).

A new series of space Marine codexes are about to drop, so give it some time to let the dust settle.

A new series of space Marine codexes are about to drop, so give it some time to let the dust settle.

Yeah, I won't rush out and buy anything  :). I really want to finish more of my Idoneth and Sylvaneth before moving on to my next project.

I think I'm starting to catch on to some sense of discipline when buying models lol.

The Eeels are making me hesitate though... just trying to figure out how to get better results out of them. Will take some experimenting and risks, I think. I'm wanting to try some more vibrant schemes. Right now I only have different shades of blue, which is fine for one squad I think.

EDIT:

Honestly, I need to take a long look at what kind of army I like in the 40k setting. Because right now I don't really have much of an answer... I might just make a couple of lists, and see how if I like them or not.

Potential Armies:

Space Marines
Sisters of Battle
Mechanicus: (Done from Scratch, some of the stuff I received in that trade were not in very good condition. I was guessing what were certain weapons and what kit they belonged too. But I haven't ruled these guys out)
Craftworld Eldar: (Not a fan of the reliance of Dark Reapers and Rangers in this edition, but that's how things played out. I could begin investing in them now and see how they turn out in the future)
Dark Eldar (I like this faction overall, but I'm not a fan of certain models, like the Butch Wyches or the strange Hellions)...

So yeah... not sure how to narrow this list down lol. Which is why I've never really jumped into 40k. Anyone got any advice?

Post by: Dread on August 8, 2019, 10:30:54 PM
Sounds like a headache you really don't need. So my take...can never go wrong with space marines or there dark kin.
Craftworld eldar, my first love. I play mine, a lot, but still haven't taken rangers or reapers. The models in the army are just as beautiful as their fantasy counterparts.

Dark eldar, another of my huge armies. I just love the way they play now in 8th ed. 5th ed the rocked, 6th and 7th the rules screwed them so hard. I play them now and they stand a chance. Don't base a decision on those 2 units. Warriors, incubi,the vehicles and the flyers, razorwings and void ravens are the most beautiful ones in any army.

It's really hard to sway anyone to a way of thinking, I have harlequins and ynarri also as well as grey knights, deathwing, necrons and black legion. Just which ever flavor I'm up too when I play.

Hope this helps....

Space Marines used to be a great army to learn the game with, but they are in a weird spot right now. It should improve with the 8.5 book though, but it is to early to tell.

Honestly unless you plan on entering national tournaments, or if you play in a very competitive meta, any faction will do fine. I'm more of a beer and pretzels type player myself, although I do play some 'casual' tournaments every once in a while. There is a pretty good mix of armies in my gaming group and all of them seem valid; although we do tend to tweak lists according to the opposition (i.e. bring more fluffy/fun armies vs new players).
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Ancient Magics, Life & Shadow... ~Paint Anniversary~)
Post by: Myen'Tal on August 9, 2019, 01:40:02 PM
Thanks for the advice guys!

@Nutty: Like AoS, I think I'm a semi-competitive guy. I'm down for casual games too, but I'm a fan of friendly, respectful competition and try-harding to some extent ;).

I've been experimenting with Mechanicus again, but woow... the list I'd like to run is eye wateringly expensive, even by 40k standards lol. A lot of the mechanicus stuff is priced low enough that you can fit in quite a few models if you're not taking in stuff like Knights or what not. That's a pretty big mark against that army lol (but it'd be awesome to field an army like that.

Craftworld Eldar are interesting, but I feel that I've waited for so long that I might as well wait until the range is updated, which I feel that is getting nearer and nearer, but who knows.

So, the ones that are left for the immediate future are: Dark Eldar, Space Marines, and Sisters of Battle... I have a feeling that I'll wait for Sisters of Battle to come out before making a real decision, but we'll see!!!

Oh I'll be getting a sisters army, been waiting for many, many years for plastic. So far the only thing I haven't like in the sneak peaks is the repentia. Good thing I never really ran them. I think the wait will be worth it.

as far as the eldar, only the aspect warriors may be updated to plastic in the future but pretty sure the rest will be left alone. They're already beautiful.

Hi Nutty, thanks! The last model is a Sylvaneth, which is a new faction created from the Forest Spirits of Athel Loren in Old Warhammer Fantasy! She's more of a envoy / commander for the Sylvaneth Clan, and one of the voices of the Everqueen.  It's actually an insect creature on her back giving her the ability to fly!

... So, I've been tinkering with the Chaos Space Marine lists in Battlescribe... I feel like I'm running in circles of un-optimized lists at the moment. I don't know what combos are good or bad. At least with other factions I have some idea what makes a suitable list but these guys feel like a challenge lol.

Anyone have any advice for Renegades or Black Legion in particular?

EDIT: Wouldn't mind hearing about how Craftworld Eldar are working in 8th edition now either :).

Basically all chapters for space marines are getting new codexes with changes to unit rules and chapter tactics. There are enough space marine players out there that it could cause a shift in game play. So I would hold off until we've seen the full rule sets in action.

Thanks for the update, Mage, I'm just creating some experimental list for different factions to see how I like them for now. But I'll keep an eye on what happens after the space marines drop next week and what's going on on the forums :).

UPDATE: So, the paint wagon hasn't really been rolling around my place for a little while. My roommate and I are currently preparing to move into our own respective places, as our lease is up. Of course, that takes a good amount of time and money, which I cannot really use on the hobby for a little while.

I might have a trade in the works for my Daughters of Khaine(sorry, Dread, I know you wanted to see this army... you still might, but I want to complete Idoneth and Sylvaneth, then start sisters of battle... going to have to sacrifice one army i think), enough that I should be able to finish my Sylvaneth or the vast majority of them.

I've also been contemplating on the results I've gained with contrast. With some of the models I've painted with contrast, I've been blown away by what I've been able to achieve. On the other hand, there are plenty of models that I wished I could have done much better.

I do like contrast a lot, but I don't think it's helping me better myself and improving my painting skills. I'm going to be preparing to switch back to a traditional method and experimenting with using some certain colors through the airbrush.

I'm also, contemplating on switching my mainstay paints with the Vallejo Game Color Range and a few Vallejo Game Air range paints as well. I'll still keep my citadel stuff, but I think it's going to start reaching end of life (some of them that haven't been converted to improvised dropper bottles) in the next couple of months.

I keep hearing good things about Vallejo, so I'm willing to give them a good chance.

Also, I'm going to be doing something different than my usual randomly paint a model thing. I'll be focusing on my Sylvaneth until the entire force is painted.

Thanks for stopping by, soon the Wyldwoods shall reclaim all the despoiled lands...

Real life does have a tendency to get into the way of hobbytime. Will you have a dedicated hobby area in the new place? that'll hopefully compensate for some of the lost time. :)

As for contrast; I haven't really used it all that much, but I don't think it is the magic cure all that GW sells it as. It looks pretty bad on a lot of surfaces IMHO, unless you "water" it down to the point where you might as well be washing/glazing. It works wonders on a lot organic and cloth parts though, so that is what I intend to use it for. just mix it in with some other techniques.

Post by: Myen'Tal on August 21, 2019, 11:39:51 AM
@Nutty: Yeah,  I'll definitely have some more room for the hobby space!

As for Contrast, I agree with you. Plus, I've been missing the traditional way of painting and I think I've gotten a bit rusty. The first step is to make a trade for the DoK, then restore my hobby supplies with some new gear and paints, and then try to figure out how the moisture trap is supposed to work on my airbrush lol (I think that's actually the reason most of my paints are spraying all liquidy) ;D.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (King of the Depths, Herald of the Everqueen)
Post by: magenb on August 21, 2019, 06:28:42 PM
Contrast was never a replacement for the other paints, its just the "quick" way to paint infantry.

OK with my experience from trying to switch paints, its best to do it at the start of an army not part way through, especially for 40k. This is because the conversion chart is really hit and miss, some of them will stand out like a sore thumb in a 40k army like marines, where everything is the same colour. Its less important to say Craftworld Eldar where the aspect units can be a different colour scheme within the lore.

Since the different brands are different shades, personal taste will also pop its head up, I really prefer Lead Belcher and Retributor Armour in GW range, but prefer ultramarine blue and Ivory from Vallejo.

On Airbrushing. If its your base colour, buy the normal paints and thin them down, you'll be going through a lot of it. The premade stuff is better for various effects where your not using very much.


If it is liquidy, then for me its because my paint is too thin. It could also be how much you are pulling the needle back for a given distance.

Good luck with the move mate.

Good luck on the move, hope you get settled in quickly. Sorry to hear about the babe's but I also understand, more than you know.

As for the contrast paints, I looked at them, listened hard to what you and a few others had to say about them and drew the conclusion that I didn't need to use them. Ya know, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Looking forward to seeing the others when you get back to them.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll keep you updated on how the situation progresses.

As for the Daughters of Khaine, there's kind of a bit of twist in the works. I actually got an interview for a job in another city about two hours away that I've been waiting on for months now. Don't worry, got either strategy sorted out in case things go either way, as I already have a place to live in that new place!

If I get the position in that area, I'll be taking my daughters of khaine with me and handing them to a friend who is interested in them when he can afford them. So, they may feature in some Battle Reports at least ;D.

So, NOVA Previews came out today.

My thoughts: Sisters of Battle for the most part look pretty amazing, there are some misses in what's been revealed, and certainly some cool surprises. Buuut, new Aspect Warrior Kits, made in plastic, I believe are also going to be revealed in addition to the Howling Banshees...

This is a tough decision lol. I've been attempting to hone in on a 40k army that I'd like to play.

Sisters of Battle is still on the top of my list.

Craftworld Eldar would be at the top of my list if they had some new models... now they're getting some!

So I have a decision to make.

As for Age of Sigmar, I'm more than content with the armies I have right now. Plus, I'm still building them. The new Death Faction is cool, but I'm not really interested. The only other army I'm really interested in is the Tyrion/Teclis Hysh Aelves for AoS.

Still planning on selling the Daughters of Khaine and using those funds to bolster one of my current forces. I might try to sell them through Dicehead, but the offer, while acceptable, is still a bit below what I'd like to receive for them. I think anything under $400 is likely too little for them, as they're easily my most expensive army to date. They're easily worth double that lol.

The plastic aspects on the horizon make for a juicy prospect.. I can imagine your a bit torn at the moment.

As for the DoK; I'm not sure how many models you have in the army or how much you've spent on it. Over here the only way you are likely to get more than 50-60% of retail is if the models are either unbuilt or OOP. Unless the are painted really well; than you can sometimes get retail or better for them. But that might be different in your area.

Hi Nutty,

Rematch between the Daughters of Khaine and Hendonites: Absolute slaughter for the Daughters of Khaine!!!

So, basically I completely lost this battle in the deployment phase! I didn't think out my drops very well and when my opponent went first in turn one, I realized that some of my units were already caught out of position.

Worse, my opponent got the double turn that I needed to counter the objectives he grabbed. So he slammed into my across the board at the beginning of turn 2 after I've set my army up for a double turn. Surrendered at the bottom of turn two because there was no way I could secure the objectives or hold them long enough, while my opponent would just keep on scoring.

But I did learn a thing or two about deployment and pile ins, so I did take something good away from the defeat. I do need to make some changes to the list, but I'll have to discover what that is.

Here's some pics! Glorious Slaanesh army for my opponent!

Sometimes the set up and roll of the dice can be cruel. One thing I've learned is you don't know what you know. So many times I've deployed, with the idea I know what I'm doing, only to find, ha, I don't. As long as fun was had that's all that matters. Glad you still have the girls.

Yeah, I have tricks up my sleeve for painting the elven skin, but we'll see if it'll work out or not  :P ;D.

I'm not certain about the Sprites when it comes to color scheme... I think I might try to do a darker turquoise skin, or I might just make them mirror the Tree-Revenants to be honest. Haven't decided yet.

So... big changes coming!!!

I'll be keeping my citadel contrast, shades, and mediums, however...

Toward the end of the day, I shall be placing order with Scale75 for the entire fantasy and games paint set, and a good chunk of their metallic range! I keep hearing great things about this range, so I'm eager to try it.

Especially... after the Ynnari Rise like a Phoenix from the ashes!!!

You hear correct, the Eldar will be my first 40k faction if Phoenix Rising is all that's shaping up to be.

I have a hard time choosing between Drukhari and Craftworlds, so why not choose both with Ynnari ;D?

Still might by one of the Sisters of Battle Army boxes coming out with the codex... but that's about it.

Ynnari isn't an army that I would suggest you start 40k with, they were OP but continually got smashed by the nerf bat and are now nothing like they used to be. The current rules set for them gives bonuses mostly to close combat, but they are not terribly good at it (compared to other assault focused armies) and the game gives a significant advantage to gun lines still.

I would suggest building up one of the factions first to get a feel for the game. Given the long term goal of going Ynnari, I would start with CWE, simply because DE has a significant part of its range that can not be used in a Ynnari list. It will make playing Ynnari easier.


Just make sure your local store or a store near you keeps good stock levels of the paint brand you want to use. Waiting for paints when your in the middle of a project is a killer.

Thank you guys!

I'm confident that the Scale 75 paints will open up a lot of new opportunities to do some cool stuff. I don't think I have a near by supplier, but I can always pull an order from their USA website and have it be here in a couple of days. Just got to do it ahead of time  ;).

Thanks for the Heads-up about the Ynnari, Mage, I'll definitely stick with craftworlds for the time being then when Phoenix Rising really starts going.

I'll keep you guys updated ;D!

New paint setup is steadily forming!!! Just need a little extra space to put my scale 75, which will happen soon once I get some more furniture in.

Scale 75 should be delivered Monday, along with the rest of the products I need to get started!!!

So, what can I tell you about Scale 75 Fantasy and Games Range?

1) These paints are much thinner than the regular Scale 75... don't need much to any shaking like their cousins, which you need to shake to death. You also need to barely thin them, since they're really thin enough.

2) Coverage. So, over a white undercoat, most of the colors will adequately cover in one or two coats maximum. It was actually kind of insane, because I was covering deep browns with faded greens, crimson with bright orange, etc. Of course, sometimes it takes a couple coats.

Also, I'm proud to announce that the mid-yellow color covered over the white primer in about one or two coats without a problem!

3) The metallics are gorgeous, but the most difficult part of the Scale 75 range that I bought. Layering them over a dark steel didn't really work too well. Neither did layering them over a flat black... might try the vallejo gloss black sometimes and see if that helps.

4) Inks are great so far! The only ink on Durthu at the moment is a mix of violet + chestnut brown ink, which is on the main color of the wood. The wood was a deep bruised red before, now it's a deep wooden brown, but still with a hint of that red beneath.

5) I applied all of this by brush and hand, since my airbrush is now out of commission again  :P.

If the metallics are really thin like GW's layer versions going over a light colour, rather than black.

There are a lot of rounded raised parts on the tree ancient, I really recommend dry brushing, I was super stocked with home well it worked on those models.

Good call, Mage, the metallics go over lighter colors waaay better than darker ones, which surprises me really  ;D.

I'm also waiting on some brushes I'll be using for drybrushing to arrive either tomorrow or Friday. Apparently this certain kind of makeup brush is really good for drybrushing lol :P, never thought I'd order from a makeup store LOL ::).

Thanks, Dread! So the problem with the metallics on these particular models is because they're layered over a rough and somewhat uneven layer of corax white primer... Will be switching over to Grey Seer for the next batch, so they should definitely come out far better!

I really like the way the skin tones have come out, nice work.

Yeah I've heard good things about dry brushing with make up brushes, since they are designed for blending lol. I just found a soft brush at the local hardware store, its small enough for big models and any size bases, its stood up to years of abuse :) Anything smaller I, just use an old brush.

Post by: Myen'Tal on September 24, 2019, 10:21:13 AM
Thank you for the feedback, guys! I accept criticism and praise both, and I you guys weren't the first to pick out the yellow on the blade hilts. (It's actually supposed to be a gold shade, but one of my friends informed me that it looked far too pastel ;D). I decided to go ahead and change the hilt colors, which took some effort to clean up, but I think it's for the best.

So, don't hesitate to tell me if you don't like something :), always a way to improve it.

So about the Endless Skullroot Tree; Do you guys like the different shade on either side of the tree. Not sure if you can see it well enough in the pictures. One side is somewhat grimy like it's been in a swampy / muddy area. The branches are lighter as if from sunnier, more arid region. Then the other half is a smooth brown that makes it look like it's from an ancient woodland.

Should I just make the trunk one color entirely?

It's personal taste, but tree trunks and branches tend to be a similar shade, unless the bark has been damaged, but that's only valid if your trying to make a real life tree, this is a magical floating tree, so go with what you like :)

I like the idea of using mud/dirt effects on the roots/base of the trunk, I would lighten up the bones first and then apply the effect.

The treepeople (and the tree itself) look great. I quite like the darker somewhat glossy roots; like it was recently uprooted and started floating. Some clumps of wet dirt will only add to that effect. I think GW had a pretty nice tutorial on easily making good looking wet soil/mud back when LoTR first came out, but there's plenty of techniques out there.

I'm glad you guys like the armor, I knew I had to change it from the previous version because that version did not look so great, haha.

Still need to highlight the armor. May go back and change his flesh as well.

Oh, I think they're supposed to either be tassels or his hair. I'm not certain which one it's supposed to be, honestly. Because the Idoneth don't have hair, they're all bald. Not certain if that's just how they do things or if they really just cannot have hair.

But the Eidolon, seeing how it is an Avatar of Mathlann, The Sea God of the Aelves might actually have hair lol.

Last of the reinforcements have arrived!

Only the Soulscryer remains now!

Your army is getting big. Lots to do. Very ambitious. Those bases look great, after market or did you make them?

That's a lot of eel-monsters :)I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Those bases are interesting, I like the ball/socket ones GW does but these look even better.

Post by: Myen'Tal on October 15, 2019, 01:33:06 PM
Thanks, guys :)!

The magnetic bases are after-market, I bought them from a site called the 'magnet baron', besides eels, they do custom orders and have some more bases for various miniatures. A bit pricey for everything you need, but we'll see if it's worth it :).

I'll keep you guys updated on that.

It's been a huge pain getting my Idoneth to this point... many eels have been lost to mishaps over the last year and a half.

Feels good to finally come to a stopping point for the time being.

Another note, I've finally decided to sell the daughters of khaine. It was a sacrifice I had to make to keep my two current projects going.

Didn't want to be spending money on all three armies anymore, yeah a lot of that are trade ins and regular trades... but to get done with other stuff I want in the near future... just wasn't realistic to keep all 3.

Current plans for 2020... not certain yet.

Was going to do Eldar, but now I might hold off.

We'll see.

Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Eidolon Resurgent)
Post by: magenb on October 15, 2019, 04:58:45 PM
Given you were not overly happy with Daughters of Khaine, I'd suggest you watch some games where Dark Eldar is being played as there is a lot of cross over between Dok and DE.

Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Eidolon Resurgent)
Post by: Dread on October 15, 2019, 05:28:59 PM
I play both. I just took on a game against ad mech Saturday night and won. DE play really well now. Combos are key as well as a good draw on tactical objectives. Choosing the right obsession for your playstyle is essential and the right artifact. As far as play between 40k and AoS, DE definitely better.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Eidolon Resurgent)
Post by: Myen'Tal on October 15, 2019, 06:51:39 PM
Well, let me explain... I didn't really take to DoK more due to the lack of their unit diversity, and in more combination with their play-style. It's not that they hit hard and fast (as I love idoneth, who do that well), but basically they are a horde army that has only a few units... and even fewer of those units are considered worthwhile. Doomfire warlocks are only okay, Medusae is only okay, Blood Stalker (Melusai Archers) aren't that great, Lifetakers are situational... what does that leave us with?

A not very interesting roster, in my opinion.

I love the Drukhari because of their labyrinthine options. There are three different distinct ways of playing them, and playing them well. Then you can get even more unique combinations by combining those play-styles into different ones.

I don't mind the glass, lightning fast cannon as a play-style.

While I agree that there is some crossover between DoK and DE, I think there's a lot of differences that make DE quite a different case.

Appreciate both of the opinions given, guys :).

Two of my friends play salamanders and they love them. Apparently the special thing-a-mabob they get is pretty spectacular. Unfortunately I haven't got to play against either of them. If you decide to go this way, even if you end up not liking their rules, changing to a different chapter is easy enough. I'll play against one next week and see how they work against my DE. I'll try to remember to post a bat rep.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (Eidolon Resurgent)
Post by: Nutty on October 16, 2019, 12:16:04 PM
Marines are a safe place to start; they are easy to get a hold on, and you can transfer a lot of the units between different codices (Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Dark Angels, and the codex "compliant" ones) with just a paintjob (or no extra work if you do up a custom chapter). This allows you to adjust to the meta (you were planning to play competitive IIRC), without having to invest in a new army.

DE are cool; a buddy of mine has played them since as long as I've known him and they are always fun to play against. I've used a DE army (of his) during a doubles tournament and enjoyed using it (I've faced them so many times I knew most of the rules and tactics anyway). We did quite well but it wasn't a cutthroat tournament by any means, so I'm not sure how they do in a more competitive environment.

DE, is the go to army for that :)

GW's gone a bit batty with the boxsets, if you want to go ahead with them, look for the previous start collecting box set, it has 3 reavers, 10 Warriors a raider and an Archon, its a much better start to a DE army.

I've actually only based the elf so far. At the moment, it's a Grey Seer primer with cadian fleshtone layered on top  :). The fairer skin tones certainly go over Grey Seer very well. I'd give it a try   :).

Thanks for the feedback, guys :). I'm experimenting with different techniques, brushes, primers, etc. It's been good expanding my knowledge on brushwork and color on primer choice. I think it's making a quantum leap of difference in how my schemes are turning out :).

The green tint to their skin really works for them. It reminds me of looking at your feet when you are walking through the surf; and the water distorts the colour just a bit.

The other colours complement it really well.

So, it's been a little while, hasn't it ;D?

Sorry for the late post, and that there's not much to it at the moment. I was going to paint last weekend, but then I got sick as a dog and couldn't really be bothered to do anything but sleep lol.

I did build a Wild Drycha. I've made some progress on my Soulrender, which is definitely still WIP. I'm trying to figure out how I want to base the blue armor. I could use the regular silver highlights, or I could try something different like a neon green to kind of give it a more undersea feel.

I also managed to get another Reaver past the basing stage, but I didn't take pics. I hope to start painting again this weekend.

The only two things that I'm miffed about somewhat have to be that I broke the standard on my Akhelian. Also, not too happy with how the Kurnoth's weapon came out, but I put too many layers on it to really think about going back over it again lol  :P.

I'm going to do some research on those Kurnoth weapons, I really think they hold the model back a little bit, the way I did them before.

So, I have a bit of sad news... apparently, some of my older models that I varnished a couple of months ago by brush had a bad reaction to the cold weather here... and they have frosted by a noticeable amount. It really sucks because I've had these models for about a year now.

The models affected:
2x Allopexes
My Squad of 5 Ishlaen Guards, which were some of the first models I painted.

Fortunately, nothing else has been affected by this. Still really bumbed out by it. I think they stand up enough that I can still put them on the table. But I will ultimately replace them when I can.

In the meantime, here's a status update on what I've painted in the last couple of months.

That's a pretty stellar looking force. That totally sucks about the frosting. I had similar issues with GW washes reacting badly with non-GW paint. I'm wondering if a lahmian media layer would restore the original paint job. I've used it with success in the past. Sometimes I had to use 'ard coat first to smooth it out and then lahmian media to make it unglossy. Just a thought. It may be worth a try if you have those technical paints.

Thanks DoW! Three more models and the first squad will be finished!

Also, I do have 'ardcoat and I do have some lahmian Medium. Definitely going to give this a whirl!

Thanks for the good shout! ;D

@ Dog_of_War: Also, I tried that method you mentioned on the models that I wanted to save. Tried a layer of Lahmian medium, then ardcoat + lahmian medium. Didn't seem to change anything, but it was worth a shot  :).

A quick update that everyone can expect a surprise in the coming days! Just a reveal though, it'll be a little while before they're painted  ;).

wow, that great mate, well done. I really like the splotch effect on the eel alot better than stripes. Having the rider in similar colours gives it a Jinba ittai feel, very well done.

Thanks, Mage :). I looked up what Jinba Ittai is, and wow, that is quite a compliment!

I actually think this will be my main scheme for all of my eels going forward, since I like it so much... but who knows, kind of had an ambition to make three distinctly different looking squads. Maybe that's too ambitious though.

Looking great! Love the finished paint job. Bummer you couldn't fix the other guys. As you said, it was worth a shot.

Looking forward to your surprise!

Thanks, DoW ;D. Yeah, it's a shame about the older models... but it's also an opportunity to apply what I learned when I correct the situation. So I'm still a little miffed, but I'm actually more excited.

Very cool but which are you going to make your army, dark Eldar or sisters? I have both so either way you're good. Can't wait to see painted.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (A Time To Reave!)
Post by: Myen'Tal on December 3, 2019, 09:09:34 PM
I still haven't decided yet, haha ;)!

To be honest, I think I'd be fine with either army. I guess that's what's making the decision so hard. At first I really wanted to do sisters, but after assembling these Incubi, of which I still have another squad of five to assemble (Should it be one squad of 10 or two squads of 5?), the decision is going to be much more difficult than I thought.

I'm still leaning heavily toward sisters though. I'll make a final decision when they release in early 2020! :)

Nice! those new Incubi look really slick, I've been thinking of getting that phoenix box to boost my army. But I have far to much Eldar to paint as is.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them (and the gun-nuns of course)
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur (A Time To Reave!)
Post by: Myen'Tal on December 4, 2019, 06:53:01 AM
Thanks, guys!

I am still leaning toward Sisters, but even so, I'll still be painting Drazhar and the Incubi.

I hope to get them and a load of Sylvaneth stuff spray primed this weekend ;D!

A great host of Aelves, indeed 8).

I've decided on the Kabal of the Flayed Skull for the Incubi units plus Drazhar. It'll be a slightly alternative scheme though, using bone armor, red clothe, and green under-suit :).

The game went well. It was a draw. My main screw up was letting Lay Olynder get stuck out on her own, I think they need to revisit the ethereal rules, -1 to hit, they are ghosts after all. Anyhow, my dice went cold as well but the black coach, never leave home without it. So far I've played 3 games of AoS 2.0 all against lizards. 1 win, 1 lose and 1 draw. The army is fun to play and lizards fun to play against.

Awesome, glad you were able to get the game in, Dread  :). A shame the Dice Gods didn't favor you, but they are fickle masters, lol.

Thanks, Nutty! Long time, no see! Yeah, I got way more than I expected this year lol!

And thanks about Volturnos, I think I'm finally getting the hang of dry brushing. For some reason, this simple technique has simply eluded me until recently lol.

@magenb: Yes! So excited to get this model assembled and painted! Agreed, Allarielle is still one of the most beautiful models created by GW.

And man, the base is the largest one I've ever seen. It has to be knight sized!

Happy New Year! Enter 2020! It's the Year of the Aelven Gods, I'd say ;D, for the time is nigh for Aelves to strike into the heart of their foes on the battlefield (at least for me :P)!

I'm also excited to paint the Everqueen. Still nervous on how I'm going to do it. I could follow tutorials or simply do my own thing, but I'm thinking a mix of both would be cool.

Happy New Year! And a long time indeed, my gaming group is playing a lot less these days and even less 40k when we do get together.. so painting motivation has been lacking lately. And I haven't been browsing forums a lot either. But I stopped by my local GW store the other day, and the community there seems to be a lot more active than it used to be. So that rekindled the hobby bug. :)

Speaking of bugs: that's an impressive looking beetle; I think it'll take to your painting style really well.

I'm glad to hear that the hobby is burning in your soul again, Nutty. Always a great feeling ain't it ;D? I know what it's like not having anyone in the area that games, from experience some years ago.

I've been experimenting with eel skins further!

@Nutty: Thanks! I actually agree with you about the orange eel. I didn't mean for him to look so...well, orange lol. Not certain how to tone it down without ruining the color.

Looks like GW is about to drop another Elf army as well, kind of looks like they are bringing back the High Elves :)

Oh yes, that is actually what I'm officially saving for this year!

One of my goals is to also build a small 500 - 750 point Sister of Battle army.

Lofty goals... we shall see!

Army Update!

So, I've acquired the last few kits that I need to complete my Deepkin lists.

With the Christmas loot I received, my sylvaneth list are now officially complete. So, I'm done acquiring new stuff and shall be focused on painting what I have. I've also placed an order with Green Stuff World (huge order) for all of the basing materials I need + some of their special paints, which I have some ideas for.

I hope to make some major progress before the Hysh Aelves drop!!!

Sorry for the strange angle on the last pic! I'll have to go back and touch up all the models I primed today, as I tried to prime from a strange angle, so the primer didn't really cover the front of the models as much as I thought they did.

Thanks, Dread! I assure you I do sleep! I just try to do some painting a couple of hours most days of the week now. I'm hoping to get my armies fully painted or at least make some major progress before Teclis and Co. arrive.

Have you tried spraying the orange eel with some matte primer? It's a nice shade of orange imho.

I haven't really looked into the AoS stuff, but more Elves is always a good thing.

@ Nutty, haven't tried that, I think it's dulled down quite a bit now. It was mainly shiny when it was drying, which is when I took the picture :).

A Big Durthu has entered the field!

Mostly Stage 2 washes, still some basing left to do.

Hi Dread,

I haven't even based the inner wood yet, which is why it's that weird off white color (wraithbone primer). I think you might be right about the feet, if anything they should match the lighter bark mainly on the back.

Will change those feet!

Looking good mate, the Durthu is such a great model to paint and the swords in the wood elf range are stunning :)

Thanks, Mage, I'm proud with how Durthu has come out so far! First time making a sword fire effect, which was cool to do!

The pace with which you are painting/building is impressive as well, keep up the good work.

Very nice! Don't think you can let anyone down :) again the colors are so smooth and vibrant. Thanks for the vote on my BL, tinkered with them then went after my sisters. That head dress is amazeballs!

Thanks, Nutty! Yeah I'm trying to get both armies raised up to Stage 2 before moving onto stage 3 together and above together. And I'm trying to get as much progress done before Teclis arrives ;D.

Thanks, Dread! I really had a lot of fun finishing volturnos, I think he's one of my favorite painted models in my collection! I too like the way the headdress came out  :).

I really like the blue Eels, I'm assuming the different colour schemes are for different units?

The purple on the cloak has come out really smooth, looks great.

Thanks! That's just one eel, Mage ;D! I was originally going to do that, but I think now I'm just going to be randomizing the colors in each unit. I only have three units in total of eels in my new list.

And thanks about the cloak! It still needs another highlight of purple.

So I have an interesting conundrum at the moment... someone I've met happens to be selling a beautiful Ulthwe' force. It's about 2000+ points, for about $350.

Should I pick it up as a core to add onto, or invest in Sisters at a later date?

Oh my. Hard to say. If you have a sizable Eldar army now, I'd go sisters.

Post by: Nutty on January 18, 2020, 03:14:44 AM
Do you think you'll able to copy the scheme if you decide to add to the later? Personally I'd dislike it if my new units would not 'match' the ones I already had colour wise.

But it does sound like a good deal

Don't have any eldar at the moment, and the collection, while 2000 points, will definitely need some additions to suit what I want to do  :).

I asked him for his recipe on the Ulthwe' black and bone, but aside from that, I'm alright with taking liberties ;D. So long as they look cohesive as a whole.

Also; Yay for more Eldar!

I think I'm figuring out some neat tricks, which I thought I wouldn't pull off without an airbrush.

Speaking of airbrushing... maybe time to reinvest for me. I'm starting to learn some tips from paint masters in my area, so we'll see.

Thanks, Mage!

The Akhelians so far are about 90% finished. I still need complete their skin and leather harnesses, maybe some other minor details.

Glad you like red on the banner! Just thought I'd add that in there.

Just a quick update. Just received a massive order from Greenstuff World. Lots of paints, basing materials, etc!

That's because it was still drying, ha-ha!

I'm actually liking the GSW paints quite a bit. The metallics and candy inks are pretty nifty, and probably will shine even more so when I start the airbrush back up again. The regular paint line is actually very enjoyable to use as well.

I think I shall pick up more in the future!

I bought a select few of the colorshift paints, but haven't tried them yet. I'm waiting to get my airbrush stuff back up and running. I kind of came to the realization that the first two airbrushes I bought from Badger... may just not have been the best for miniature painting.

This is the airbrush setup that I'm planning on using:

Thanks, Mage!

So I purchased another airbrush and a compressor today, especially as my current compressor did not perform that great. I think it was because I had to some jank stuff to make my previous badger airbrushes compatible and what not.

In any case, the new one I'm getting has some extra features I can use. I also bought a GMAC thingy? You can change the PSI at the airbrush rather than the compressor. Lastly, I bought a cleaning kit.

So I really like the Greenstuff paints, but I don't think I'll be converting over to their full line. I'm just going to pick up some of their special stuff every now again, like their candy inks and colorshift stuff.

So that leaves me in a conundrum of what paint line I want to use. Citadel air is pretty pricey per bottle. I may look into the vallejo game air line I think.

I got a new airbrush myself a few weeks ago and just love it. As for the paints, can't really coach you there, I use cheap hobby paints like Delta waterbased, have for years. Cetaon colors, like turbo dork has, I'll spend a few bucks to have but no expensive line. Good luck with everything.

I think the light blue on the trim is a nicer balance than the green. Are you going to go with a pale skin for the namarti's?

Thanks guys!

Thanks, Mage! Yes, I'll continue my scheme with my recipe for Reaver skin like on the previous Reavers' I've done!

I got a new airbrush myself a few weeks ago and just love it. As for the paints, can't really coach you there, I use cheap hobby paints like Delta waterbased, have for years. Cetaon colors, like turbo dork has, I'll spend a few bucks to have but no expensive line. Good luck with everything.

Thanks, Dread! I actually learned some important lessons on why my previous airbrushes went defunct. Turns out I made a couple of crucial mistakes! Also I think that the airbrush that I'm using will be more suitable for miniature painting than the badger brushes. It's more compatible, and it seems like it's hard to tell which badger brushes are suitable for miniature painting.

Thanks, Mage!

I figured it would be a unique look rather than the oceanic / sea bases. And you know what? It does look way better than I thought it would!

So tried using some of the greenstuffworld metallics with some impatience and turned a pretty easy paint job into a nightmare. He's still not completed yet, but I think he's been salvaged lol.

Hi guys, thanks!

So, some of the Greenstuff world metallics are just going on weird, where I've never had the issue before with GW ones (at least not to this extent). One of them just goes really bad, I think it might just be an old pot of paint. It's really residue-like and does not layer or dry well. That and I was being impatient a bit with the layering  :P.

Post by: magenb on February 12, 2020, 03:02:57 PM
Best guess based on what you've said, is the paints in dropper bottles tend to be thinner than GW pots, if they have been sitting around for a long time then they'll need a really good long shake. Google Vortex paint shaker and save your arm lol.

It could just be the paint, like most whites really need very thin layers and you have to wait for each one to dry completely or it will streak or tear. Some of GW "layer" metal paints fall into both of these conditions, stormhost silver in particular.

Post by: Myen'Tal on February 14, 2020, 08:13:20 PM
Hey guys, I hope everyone is doing alright and that life is okay for everyone!

Update Time!

40k Status: So, I've had every intention of starting 40000 by this point in the year. I've found myself playing with an inner circle of good friends who are also tournament players in their own right.

At the moment, our group seems quite divided on Warhammer 40k. One half is busy chasing the meta and the other half are so disillusioned with the balancing of tournament play that they've decided to focus on AoS for the time being instead.

I am on the half that has decided just to focus on AoS for the moment. I'm still knee-deep in Idoneth and now I am going to have two additional ones coming in the near future...

That's right! More children of the Asur are flocking to the Conclave's light!But more on that in a bit!

Right now, I'm preparing for a Path to Glory campaign with my training group. This will become our first major preparation for the Nashcon Tournament, my first tournament ever. The Path to Glory is meant to teach and drill the fundamentals of the game into us. We all know them, but mastering them is on a higher tier than most of us new players are sitting at.

That means that our armies also need to be fully painted before hand. Which I know I'm not the highest standard, but I do desire that my army as a whole be on the current standard I've reached currently. So that means I'm going to have to start churning out minis!

I'll be representing the Idoneth Enclaves at Nashcon this year, and expect to see a lot of Disciples of Tzeentch nastiness girded against us!

Back to the mention of two more armies! So, while I'm focused on Idoneth for the first half of the year, once I've achieved my goal for painting the entire army, I'll naturally be moving onward to new horizons.

So, who are the contenders to join the ranks of the Asur?

The Daughters of Khaine have returned to the fold! Someone at my GW that I've run into occasionally happened to be selling a DoK army that's mostly built and primed, but unpainted! Perfect! Plus, it has a surplus of the more difficult items to acquire without blowing a hole through your wallet.

This is what I'll be acquiring in the trade:

15 Blood Sisters
5 Blood Stalkers
5 Doomfire Warlocks
30 Witch Aelves
10 Khinerai
3 Hag Queens, 3 Slaughter Queens, 3 Medusae
1 Bloodwrack Shrine
2 Blood of Cauldron
1 Morathi

I know I said a lot about Daughters of Khaine in the past, I shall leave you with this... I was impatient and pressured by other factors to have them sold. I'm ready to give them another go! However, I want to say that this army will probably not be completed or maybe not even worked on much until further in the year or perhaps next year...

Because I'll be focused on Lumineth after Nash-con and building them in small blocks. I intend to start off with a 500 point force to begin with. Once again, focused on the completion of my Idoneth for the foreseeable future.

In any case, we shall see! New opportunities abound! New techniques and challenges to learn!

Stay peeled on the Conclaves of the Asur!

Gotten almost over half of my eels to 80% - 90% completion! Just two more to go!

So, wow! You are a painting machine. Sounds like you've got a lot of exciting events coming up so just remember to enjoy yourself playing as much as when you're painting. I'm trying to get back to painting, building no problem, priming no problem, just sitting down and pushing the brushes has gotten hard. Think I'll be back from burn out real soon. Until then I'll be living vicariously thru you.

I shall lend you the energy that you need, Dread, to get those brushes working ;D!

I am enjoying myself quite a bit. I made a Battle Report not too long ago and played a game against Ironjawz that I did not report on. Funny enough, I beat the Ironjawz player. Turns out when the High Tide comes in, the Idoneth are the ones doing the smashin' and bashin' LOL!!!

I cannot wait to get started on the Lumineth and Daughters of Khaine!!! My mind is ready and I am focused, so I must keep battering away at my Idoneth.

Still lots of work to do there. But, there's been much progress too!

Yeah 40k is not in a good place, they were at the LVO and witnessed how bad it was first hand. The organizers made it rather clear they are killing the game, but I don't see it changing for the rest of the Psychic awakening campaign as it would have been mapped out long ago. Even then its going to need so much work to get it any where near a balanced game, it may be easier to ring the 9th ed bell. The big question will be if GW can pull themselves out of the cycle of releasing OP rules to drive sales.

Yes magenb is right from tourney point but the at home friendly games are still fun. As for AoS, couldn't stand it from its release but since 2.0 came out, I really like it. The really dumbed down rules actually make it enjoyable. Not having to worry about str vs toughness and a few other things makes it faster to play but I still miss me 8th ed except for the horde rule.

Yeah, precisely the feeling that I was getting. I don't really have anyone to play many friendly games of 40k with. At least, not at the moment. So for now I'll wait patiently for that time to arrive.

Hopefully 9th edition can alleviate some of these issues :).

Wow, lots going on. The bases are so cool. I like the eel in the last pics colors, so intriguing. What is that stuff you're using for the wave effect?

Thanks, Dread, I'm using something called UV Resin, which dries with a special UV light.

I'm actually not using that stuff anymore as it smells awful and the smell desperately clings to anything it touches lol!

I've actually decided to follow Magenb's older tutorial on how to make wave bases ;D.

Update Time!!!

So, got no painted stuff to show off this time and with good reason.

First off, here is some stuff that I'm working on!

So recently, I've been doing some deep-delving into Airbrush do's and don'ts with someone who is far more experienced with airbrushes than I am. He is schooling me in a number of tricks that I can use with my own airbrush to increase my painting skill set.

In light of all of this knowledge, I'm also increasing my hobby supplies to achieve some stuff that I've been meaning too!

 How to make water effect bases for Idoneth Deepkin - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wtlo-B9Nmc)

I'm acquiring the supplies to achieve the results in this video for ocean bases!!

Also, I've been researching the stynel-rez method of priming a model for the specific purpose of pre-shading and using...

Inks! I've also purchased a good selection of hobby inks, specifically called Amsterdam Inks! They stood out to me immediately, a lot of different shades that look really great.

I've found some pretty good vaseline putty from AK meant to mask minis for airbrushing. It's specifically produced to leave no residue or anything on the miniature itself and is reusable :).

I'm also acquiring a Photography Light Box to enhance the quality of my photos and images. I know that's one weakness that I'd like to address, as bad lighting has been something I've been trying to combat for a long time now.

I'm also acquiring one of those Vortex Paint Shakers... and some citadel Air and regular paints!

So, exciting times ahead... I think I'll finally be able to start airbrushing the weekend after next. It'll take a little while yet for everything to get here lol.

Also, I've rethought my stance on getting into the Daughters of Khaine. Lumineth are just around the corner, so I passed on that DoK army I was talking about.

Right now, it's going to be Lumineth and Idoneth... and maybe, just maybe... some Craftworld Eldar :). I've been itching to paint some Howling Banshees, Jain Zar, Wraithguard, and some Farseers... so we'll see how it goes ;D.

that's an awesome way to do splash effects.


Tamiya makes a hobby painters tape, it good for straight lines and small curves like eldar jet bikes, or for making Ulthwe lightning effect on tanks. The putty sounds like a neat idea, will be interested to see how that works out.


Citadel air paint.. don't know why they didn't use a dropper bottle, if you got some spare droppers, save yourself a bunch of hassle and swap them over.

The vortex works well, just get some cheap bearings (stainless) to drop in the bottles.

That is really cool, having someone with the relevant experience teach you is a great way to learn something.

I think the best thing about that video is the technique he uses to paint his sand.

Inks! I've also purchased a good selection of hobby inks, specifically called Amsterdam Inks! They stood out to me immediately, a lot of different shades that look really great.

Whoa inks are a blast from the past! My DE avatar was painted using one of GW's inks. I wish you the best of luck with them. I remember inks being really runny and it being really difficult to stop them pooling.

That sounds like a good idea. Tape is okay, but a product that can be moulded to any shape has got to be more useful and easier to use.

Are you buying a Light Box that comes complete with lights? Don't forget it is how you light the Light Box that is important. Taking a picture in a Light Box just using frontal lighting will still produce a picture with harsh shadows.

Indeed, I fear that I would have already made some crucial mistakes without his guidance. So, I am grateful :).

I agree that the sand texture does stand out very well too. I already have some of that grey pumice so... might do that too ^^.

I'm not certain if the GW inks were meant for airbrushing straight out of the pot. These Amsterdam inks were formulated with art styles in mind. Airbrushing is specifically mentioned as being one of them. At least, that is according to them. However, will probably still need to build up with several thin coats.

I was thinking a long similar lines, but it may take some time before I learn to crank some cool patterns out without effort :).

Not just any lights, but 2-3 tripod lights! Someone recommended them to me and showed off a couple of photos of his Nurgle minis. It looks pretty good!

@Cavalier: Thanks, Chief ;D! I'm glad that you like the eels, they're the heart and soul of the Idoneth so I've been keen to make them stand out.

I'm going to see what else I can do with some of the airbrush tricks I'm studying now with them. So keep your eyes peeled 8).

Once you get going with the air brush, you'll see a big difference in your painting. I wish that all those years ago, I had used mine for my Eldar tanks but honestly didn't occur to me until years later which is weird since I did a lot of murals on hotrods and trucks and to paint my model cars. I've done one crimson hunter and 2 falcons with a completely different scheme, which I love, but to strip and repaint that many as well as jetbikes, etc. To match, I'll pass. Anyhow, I'm waiting to see what you do with yours so hurry up, need me some Myen'Tal paint pick me ups. 8)

Thanks for that. I really looked it over. His flesh is fantastic and the eel looks so smooth. The ink/wash work is done so perfectly. The color palette, as I've said before, smart.they compliment each other beautifully. The metallics stand out great without overpowering the model. You can see the personality and it tells a story. All of your models do. K. Enough gushing. Keep it up, you're just getting better and better.

The game was a close one
Game looked lopsided for a good turn or so, after my akhelians wiped out both 20 man grot squads and a Mangler Squig. I feared the wandering endless spells lol, one of them imploded and did six mortal wounds to my Akhelian King, while the Mangler Squig took 2 wounds, which turned out to prove his unmaking later that round.
Also got lucky taking control of the wandering trolls that turn, which charged straight into my opponent's screening grots and clobbered quite a few of them.
Then my opponent smashed back with Gordrakk, Mangler Squig Boss, and Boingrot bounderz, and wiped out pretty much all of my akhelians.
The game would have been closer still if the objectives spawned where I was strongest lol
But the crucial objective never came my way
Eidolon was what I wanted to test, but he never got into combat that game.
Leviadon and shark did some work though, chewing through grots and mangler squig!
Also flubbed my voltaic blasts across the entire army, doing like 5 wounds in total
Spelled the end of the game, in addition to some not so great charges.

Cool stuff; nice to see the airbrush is working out for you, that eel is looking great.

It's also nice to see a batrep with some pictures, are the units clustered together like that so they can take advantage of buff bubbles? I haven't really played AoS but I do try to wrap my head around it from time to time :)

So many goblins, ha-ha! Tried to fly past all that chaff, and I could have made it if I was running MSU squads, but with six man squads, just wasn't able to hit his back lines.

Yeah, buffs are just as important in AoS as they are in 40k, essentially you want to keep your units around other buffing leaders and key units.

Glad you guys liked my first airbrush attempt. I learned a lot and made some mistakes too! I'm going to try blending and filtering a bit more on my next akhelian.

Also, anyone have any tricks for zenithal priming with white? I can never seem to get that stuff to come out right!

Still need to make some adjustments like putting it on a raised surface, and also realigning those white panels.

The light box has made an unbelievable difference to your photos and everything looks really vibrant. The cloak on Eidolon is spectacular and the Isharann model looks like a different model in the improved light.

It is a real shame that the resolution is so low.

Still working on it, Alienscar :), I actually noticed that problem once I opened up the full view. I'm working on a solution!

I was initially zooming in on the camera, but I've got some alternatives to try already.

I would guess from this comment that you have a digital zoom rather than an optical zoom. Simply put digital zooms make things up and that would explain the lack of detail when trying to view a larger image.

Post by: Myen'Tal on March 26, 2020, 12:59:19 PM
Basically, yes, now I've increased the resolution from full HD to 1440 x 1440. I've also turned on HDR, turned off the screen optimizer, turned on "focused shot", and turned off the motion blur, etc.

So we'll see if this works. If you guys find that it is the same, I'll likely invest in a digital camera whenever the businesses come back up and running after the closings earlier in the week.

I will also try not to zoom in anymore, ha-ha.

This is probably as good as its going to get resolution wise from the phone. Let  me know if you think it's enough!

Imgur is weird. When I select one of your photo's to view it automatically opens in imgur, this picture still lacks resolution and is really blurry.

When I return to 40k the image I had selected is massive (the model fills the screen on my 10" tablet), but the definition is really good. This image can't be 'zoomed' though.

Whilst I like to zoom in when looking at painted miniatures what you have ended up with is good enough.

I will also try not to zoom in anymore, ha-ha.

Most (if not all) phone camera's have wide angle lenses. These have a good depth of field, so I would suggest you move as close to your subject as you can.

Wow, the enlarged images on here really make you realize every mistake that you have to go back and clean, ha-ha ;D. Still, most of these guys aren't finished yet, but it's actually a great way to study mistakes that you might more easily miss trying to stare at the model.

So if you click on the link, let me know if you can access the entire album... there's a little button in the bottom right hand corner that for editing the photo. You can zoom in as much as you want!

If we can get it to work, I can leave links for my photo albums moving forward so you guys can see close ups!

I wouldn't get too hung up on the magnified view as that is not how we see things in the real world. If you can't visually see the mistake then it is probably okay.

That said, there would appear to be a mould line on Isharann's left boot.  :D

As the waves broke and the residence of the watery domain came to shore, you could here a lone voice sing out, it was...wait for it....a Lil crab..under the sea, under the sea. Things are much better down where it's wetter, check it and see...and the song fades as they step onto land to stop the war that had been started by the kidnapping of their their princess by surface dwellers. As the emerged, they were met by a small force of the kidnappers and the song began, soldier blue in the barren waste. Hunting and killings a game. Chasing the *insert* back to their homes, fighting them at their own game. Murder for freedom, a stab in the back....and so it began. The battle for the freeing of their beloved princess.

It all looks so beautiful, I couldn't help myself.

Thank you, guys!

I have some airbrush flow improver arriving on Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to get back to  painting sometime this weekend  ;D.

Just some words of wisdom, Airbrush 'medium' is actually not airbrush flow improver, which is why my primer was coming out of the airbrush all weird.

Update time:

On the Paint Table this Weekend:

My third and final Akhelian King and perhaps 2 allopexes

Army Update:

A couple of more kits and I'll reach the finish line for my Idoneth until the next battletome:

3 Ishlaen Guard
3 Morssar Guard
4 Allopexes (including the ones on the paint table)
1 Akhelian King (on the paint table)
Optional: 1 Leviadon

Once I've reached this goal, I shall be choosing a new army to invest into. I believed with all of my heart that it would be the Lumineth. But this reveal for them has left me with mixed, conflicted feelings. I like some of the models, and some of the others I feel were missed opportunities. Too many missed opportunities for me personally.

I believe that I'll be keeping an eye on the Lumineth and seeing how I feel a year or two after their release.

So right now, I'm really only considering two main options.

Rebuilding the Daughters of Khaine

OR

Joining the Hendonites of Slaanesh

Two model ranges that I do love, I think if I do not choose the lumineth at all, then I'll be doing both of these armies. I already have ideas for color schemes for either force.

I'm also planning on painting a centerpiece model outside of my comfort zone, just for experience and to see what I've learned. It shall be a Keeper of Secrets, I've decided. One that I'll be lending to a friend until I've either decided on doing Slaanesh now or when I start them up sometime in the future. So its partially for him too ;D.


I don't know, I still feel some strong love for the Lumineth, in spite of their flaws. I'll make a decision once we're closer to release!

Sorry I haven't dropped by to say this before now, but your Idoneth are looking fantastic. The whole army all together is such a striking visual, I think you may win some games just by lining those boys up and throwing your opponent off their plans.

I think my favourite models are the Akhelian Eel riders. I'm impressed with all the different colour schemes you've come up with...each unique, each very reminiscent of things that you find in the ocean, yet, most importantly, you have them looking like a cohesive unit, despite their glaring differences.

Amazing work Myen'Tal.

Hi Loosh, long time and no see ;D!

Thanks, man! I'm stoked that you like the eels as I feel they're the heart and soul of the Idoneth. It's a challenge to keep finding different schemes to make for each eel, but it's a fun one!

Redid some stuff, still WIP, going to try and finish tomorrow, need to highlight the tails, wash the lower scales, do the skin, etc.

Only thing I'll leave undone is the cloak for now.

I'm actually waiting on a new chair to come in before I resume my painting.

My current one is about shot with the way it is now lol.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I was planing on replacing mine in the second half of the year, then CORVID hit and now everyone who works from home realized their chairs are terrible for a full work day, so all the stores are empty of decent office chairs, most places are saying another month before they might see stock again.

I knew mine was are aweful before, just an old folding chair. I have my comfy chair in with my Xbox 360, have a level 51 on skyrim, just in the past month. Played ff7 many many years ago but nothing to support the new game, hope you have fun with it. Now, get some more painting done, I'm going back to my uncomfortable chair in a while and try to get some more painting done.

So what do you guys think for a 2nd army:

Lumineth or Daughters of Khaine?

I'm feeling a lure between both, but I feel with the beastgrave and now war cry reveals for the knainite shadowstalkers... i'm feeling the pull.

I won't try to sway you either way DoK, because they're both beautiful DoK armies. For myself, I'm really enjoying DoK painting my witches. I put a pic up in my project of a wip if you'd like to see. DoK anyhow I know you'll make the right decision  8)

I have not seen any significant changes to how DoK play and you didn't seem that happy with them.. that said they might play differently later on and there is nothing wrong with just collecting and painting them.

I'm look at those Lumineth and the new warcry elves and I would like to get my hand on them for some conversions into 40k ;)

Yeah I see what you're saying  :), a part of me feels like I didn't give them enough time for me to adjust to their playstyle.

BUT, after some more thought, I think Lumineth are just going to be better from a cost perspective. DoK is likely the most expensive army in AoS right now. So, maybe I don't want to relive that part so much lol :P.

I am leaning more towards the Lumineth now! Especially with that box set on the way!

Yeah, GW's box set for DoK are a bit odd, they helped out a bit when they changed the start collecting box, but yeah it will be interesting to see how GW prices the new elves given the state of most economies around the world. Previous to the virus I would have expected the price point to be higher than the new DoK models, but probably less than the banshee's.

10 more Thralls to go before I hit the 30 that I want. Still have the last kit in the box :).

Finally phased out most of my old paints, which were well over a year old at this point and starting to show.

Kept my washes, contrast, and the paints that I only bought recently.

I bought a vallejo game air set to replace them ;D, should be longer lasting because of the bottles. Excited to dive into vallejo.

Did some testing with the game air. A different experience to citadel, some good, some a little frustrating. But overall I'm liking it.

Only highlights on this guy so far is the skin. I used a combination of carroburg crimson over drakenhoff nightshade for two tone skin.

Some of it got lost in the highlighting, but I still like it.

It looks good but something feels a bit off on the first photo from the front. Opening the first front pic to full size, it might be a bit heavy on the shading. The wrist/forearm and rear muscle under the shoulder seem a bit too dark or too big of an area to be that dark. Where as if you take a look at the last photo showing its back, the skin looks better.

Hey Mage,

Thanks for the feedback! I probably should have thinned the shade down a bit more. I'll try to correct that going forward and seeing what I can do on that test model.

Thanks!

Base coated.

I feel like no matter how many missed spots I go over I somehow find several more lol
Think I'm going to go over it with a light glaze of contrast to solidify the base coat and remove whatever grey spots got left behind

Thank you, Mage!

Might do one more highlight on the eel skin and call it done on that part.

The effect on the wood was unintentional, but I agree that it is cool!

Will probably start highlighting the wood soon :).

Your getting good with that air brush, the eel looks boss. The blue wash really brings it out. The purple touches are solid and the rider fits perfectly with the rest of your guys. The ship looks like it's coming along nicely. My suggestion, it's a ship wreck that's been submerged, I would add a bit of greying to it with some light blue or turquoise to give it that old rotted appearance. Anyhow, can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks, Dread, but this is actually all been accomplished by brush ;D. Haven't fired up the airbrush since the first time I used it lol.

I'm still trying to figure that thing out honestly.

Here's some more stuff I've been working on! Including my first ever yellow painted model, which was done agonizingly by brush lol.

Wow everything looks fantastic. Your eels are just brilliant and the base of the purple one looks amazing.

I like the look of your ship as it is and I am not sure if it needs the added realism of rotting wood as Dread suggests. Considering all the magic that is going on I think the highlight you mention should be enough to finish the model off.

Thank you, Alienscar! I'm still experimenting with the basing, got a couple of ideas for it, but I'm waiting till I get my entire force up to standard before doing all of that :).

Thanks, Mage! I think for the Namarti, I will highlight the pinkish skintone to be fair and the bluish skin to be more pallid.

Think it could work well!

Have to say that I don't regret finally expanding beyond Citadel Paints. It's truly a game changer. I'm using a combination of Scale 75 + Vallejo Game Air and some GW Washes at the moment until my Secret Weapon Miniatures Washes come in through the mail.

Wow, the eel looks great so far. Good blend of yellows and blues. This is just a thought but if you used the same red on the reigns I think it would compliment the reds on the rest of it. I still can't get over those cool bases you got for them.

I got to try out my first contrast paint the other day, one of the flesh colors on my secret project. I will now be happy to paint flesh, one of the best paint options I've ever had in my 30+ years of mini painting. I've been trudging along on this project pretty steady so hope to have pics up soon.

Keep up the great work.

Hey Dread,

Thanks for the compliments and the suggestion! I'll probably try that out on the reigns and see how it looks :).

Congrats on using contrast - it's a game changer isn't it?

If you have any questions about how to get the best out of it, just let me know!

Hope to see more pics of your work soon!

Glad I could be of help, Dread 8). Thanks for the compliments, lol, will have to clean up those bases at some point. Finishing all the skintones on my Idoneth is actually my favorite part about the entire army. It really gives them an incredible feel once you've finished that part off.

Especially on the Namarti. Once I figured out the 'Twin-Soul' scheme, they went from 7 to 10 in my book!

Great work though due; you can be rightfully proud of the army that you're building.

I'm excited to get to work on the War Turtle! I'm still building ideas on how to paint one up. Not too many tutorial articles to gather ideas from. I'll admit, this army has been through a number of iterations and I'm super glad I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for my Idoneth! I really love how much I was forced to learn and adapt, and how far this entire army come.

Thank you for the uplifting words! My army will be technically wholly up to standard after:

20 Namarti Thralls
6 Ishlaen Guard
1 1/2 Gloomtide Shipwrecks
1 Leviadon

My main list will be complete with these!

Crazy idea of mine, I know, and there isn't a lot of information if any on how to do it, but here this out.

I am thinking for my lumineth that have cloaks, I would try to make brilliant cloaks that look like the sunset... i don't know if it's possible. If anyone would like to give advice, feel free.

Planning on doing it all by airbrush.
Here are the colors I've picked out.
(https://i.ibb.co/JpdLsDn/20200514-200714.jpg)

All inks, cause they airbrush very well and dry very well too.

So, ultramarine violet base, followed by Naples yellow highlight, then the light version of that. Towards the top of the cloak, will use finer and finer highlights for the pink hues with three different rose colors.

Do I be crazy!?

maybe mixing pearlescent inks with all the colors would give it that gleam

Post by: Dread on May 14, 2020, 11:30:37 PM
I wish I had some advice but I've never used inks in my air brush, hmm, weird since I tattooed over 23 years. I think your base color, I'm guessing white, will determine the ombiance of the colors. I'm excited, let us know how they work. The colors sound perfect.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur: Rise of the Ondaric Enclaves
Post by: magenb on May 15, 2020, 12:51:53 AM
hmm well, depends on what you are going to do with the folds in the cloaks.. you have shades and highlights in the cloth so hmmm..

I would be temped to do a a thin off white, shade it, dry brush/edge highly with real white and then start putting the inks on.

These video are more to do with stencils, but they use inks to do transition and colours that intertwine well and they explain it far better than I can ;)

Post by: Myen'Tal on May 15, 2020, 06:15:56 PM
Thanks for the advice guys!

My original plan maybe too ambitious.

I might try for a sunburst effect instead.

(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQAQOI0xgstU2E7RKVzMa2Uvk0n6SzC9gixJi1qm98_PaoCXB4U&usqp=CAU)

So I'm thinking that with a black undercoat, I can change an orangey color into more of a bronzy, dark hue of orange on the sheild and cloaks, then highlight with a strong gold yellow for folds / center of the shield, then highlight with that final, small burst of sunburst yellow.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/664099111460667404/711273346779578388/orange-tints-and-shades.png)

I'm aiming for a 1-to-1 translation of that artwork to the models. So it'll be kind of that more pallid teal color.
Robes will be fiery orange and the banners will be that crimson color
gold on the scalemail - filigree

For basing, it'll either be a meadow / grassland or desert theme
I think I'm leaning toward the meadow as I already have the basing materials I need for those.

Will probably use an applicator on the grass.

That sounds like a better plan Myen'Tal. I think your previous idea may have been a bit too busy; you're models are already visually very striking, so I don't think an ostentatious colouring would be required. The previous idea would have resulted in a riot of colours which would have detracted from the overall scheme.

Looking forward to seeing the new direction you're working in and how it all comes together.

As Dread says though, less talky, more painty.

Post by: magenb on May 17, 2020, 06:47:59 PM
Do some test painting on a old soda bottle or something, given inks are transparent, you might find it is too dark on that much of the model. I have noticed even with orange paints, it needs a number of layers over black, while yellow is rather painful, at the very least, I would consider pre-shading with the primer.

Brown washes help darken the gold or even brass, the orange should still work, but might not be dark enough to make much of a difference.  I stumped onto one of Duncan's new video's where he uses Gulliman flesh contrast on gold instead of agrax, its an interesting idea I'm going to have a play with.

Well I'm no longer planning on using inks for this current scheme, Mage, but thank you for the advice! I'll keep that in mind. I'll be using different Vallejo Game Air colors for the base colors and some highlights using zenithal, etc, by the airbrush.

It'll be the first time I'd fire up an airbrush for mass production lol. I've been learning some more techniques and am eager to try some of them on the Lumineth.

Hey Loosh,

Yeah you're right, the sunset cloaks would probably just take away from the paint job. I actually like the scheme I've settled on, and hope I'll do it justice  :).

Lumineth need to be released before I can begin this mad scheme... I may take them to a tournament happening in late august... either its going to be my swiftest painted army created in full dedication mode or I'm falling back on the Idoneth lol.

Gonna look sweet. Good colors. Now get one done so we can see it  ;)

Thanks Dread, I'm sure you're going to love them whenever I can get my hands on them!

Post by: Myen'Tal on May 30, 2020, 12:42:50 PM
So all is silent on the painting front...

Somewhat :D.

I'm in a bit of a bind as I'm making preparations to relocate into a new home and area before my apartment lease ends in August. I'm spending my time searching the web for houses and what not, rather practicing the art of the brush.

But within the darkness, there is hope, as Teclis once said.

So big announcement... the Conclaves of the Asur have deliberated and the doors once barred from all non-aelven kind have been allowed entry. But for who!?

Rumors abound about delegations of Necron Emissaries sent from the Silent King...

That is correct. I am doing Necrons :P. The decision is set in stone, as I'm splitting two of the upcoming 9th edition starter boxes with some friends. I'm in love with what I've seen so far of the new range, and I know we haven't seen everything just yet!

On the other hand... really hoping that the Lumineth Realm-Lords Starter Box will come onto pre-order at the end of this week. Because of Necrons and me wanting to get my Idoneth to a good standard army-wide soon... I feel like the Lumineth will take a slight step back on the army collection phase. Even the collecting of the Necrons will be a bit slow after the starter set extravaganza lol.

This is because I'm relocating to a new home. Thankfully, I'm splitting it three way with a relative and a trusted friend. So my current bills are about to take a serious cut once the transition is official. But I'm also trying to novel up and running, which is also going to be a bit of money.

I guess its true that once you get older, it's bills, bills, bills lol. I'll fare alright though :), just going to take it slow and not throw my wallet at anything too crazy like.

Also, let's talk about paint.

I ordered the complete wash collection from Secret Weapon Miniatures back toward the end of April, and am still waiting on all of that. Which is okay because -covid.

I've kept an eye on the vallejo mecha color range and have wanted a complete set for a little while now. I cannot confirm, but I have an unidentified order coming in on Monday for my B-Day that might be it. Here's hoping! I would be using this range in depth for Necrons.

Also, Scale 75 has come out with an interesting competitor to GW's contrast paint. It looks way better than contrast, honestly, with more vibrant colors and many different shades of primer. I think it could help me speed up the painting on my Lumineth!

I believe you mean, you are capturing the Necron's to use in training exercises for your point ears ;)

Necrons are a nice force, I've managed to capture a small force over the decades :) Good timing to get onboard, looks like GW is just dropping all their new stuff in one go unlike the primaris marines. soo tempted to capture one of those new C'tans, looks like it would be a lot of fun to paint.


Good luck with the move bud.

Thank you, guys!

So, I have an update on my future projects that mean I'll be painting sooner rather than later.

1) Lumineth Realm-Lords I am postponing until November at the earliest.

2) Also, I've discarded the idea of doing Necrons after talking with the Grandmaster of my gaming group for a little while.

3) I have officially initiated the process of Ad. Mech: Stage I - which includes:

1x Old start collecting! Skitarii box (barely managed to find one of these lol)
1x New start collecting! Mechanicus box
1x Serberys Raiders box
And some Vallejo Mecha Paints...

I am stoked to get started on Mechanicus. I'll spare you the details on why I chose them (again) lol. But this project will be starting alongside my Idoneth as their project is nearing completion.

Hope to be back with some manner of actual painting updates soon!!

Ad Mech? Looking forward to it Myen'Tal.

I'm starting to think that you're my hobby twin on this board; we always seem to fire off the same long term projects.

Which Forgeworld are you planning on painting them as? And why; background? Army abilities? Colour scheme?

Yeah that's weird, it's like we're on the same brain wave  ;D.

It will be a custom forge world, haven't created the background yet. Just now starting this project, so I'm not certain on rules either, except Stygies + Mars combination. Color scheme will be dark metallic, turquoise, and crimson I think as the main colors I think.

Those gaming tables looked great.

Admech is a really nice model range, its kind of surprising how much love they have been getting from GW since their range is not that old. The Infiltrators wielding overpowered cattle prod and uzi's is just hilarious, couldn't resist adding them to my force.

Hi Mage, thanks for the compliments! Both tables belong to a friend of mine, who painted all the terrain on both tables. We're part of a club that likes to organize events, so we have tables and terrain in spades (except me and the newer members lol  :P).

I've always thought Ad Mech were really cool too! It is weird that they've gotten so much new stuff because as you noted, their so much more new that some other factions.

I use to hate the Kastelan '40s' TV Robots lol, but they've actually grown on me.

The Archeopter and the Skorpius tank are by my favorite ad mech models!

Nashcon preparation continues! My Idoneth battled some Khorne Daemons and dragged them down into the depths in a brutal melee. Idoneth won decisively model count-wise, but the game came down to close objectives until the bottom of the third turn.

It can be hard to resist that urge to purge in objective games, but hey now you know what they can do :)

the Kastelan are nice to paint, surprising amount of detail when you take a close look at them. It's sounding like they will also be a really interesting option for 9th ed as well.

Thanks, Mage  ;D!

Yes, the Namarti Twin-Souls are as tainted or possibly more so, than the rest of their kin! Though they loathe to admit it ;).

A good point about the turquoise. It's supposed to be metallic green, but it naturally comes out that color.

I will give it a wash of Drakenhof and report back.

As for updates:

- Ordered the Lumineth Realm Lords Starter Box.

- Secret Weapon Miniatures wash set is on the way!!

So, with Covid rising here in the USA... will probably consider Nashcon as dead on arrival for myself personally. So I'm slowing down the games... and the Lumineth box should be here sometime next week hopefully. So you'll know what I'll be painting!

Some of you may want to check back sometime this weekend, cause it's time to hone the skills in the Way of the Brush! Will be looking to paint something this weekend, not sure what though.

They all look good, except I wouldn't use orange on the cloth.

I would be very tempted to use the bottom right, but I would use but I would use mostly red cloth with a white trim. It would go well with my exodite fire dragons.

That latest eel looks terrific Myen'Tal; I would say that though, as it's practically Miami Dolphins colours!

Your Idoneth really have progressed so well. Looking like a terrific force. I must buy and paint some more of those at some stage.

Also looking forward to whatever you decide to do with the Lumineth. Another fantastic model range.

Hah! It really is the Dolphin's colors!

Thanks, Loosh. I've ordered in more hobby supplies, including a wet palette and some kolinsky sable brushes now that I have brush soap to take care of them. Also bringing in more regular vallejo game color paints, as opposed to the air ones I have that are mostly simply too thin for my tastes. But I'll of course be keeping them for the airbrush.

As for Lumineth, I do have some great ideas! There's so many color schemes coming out right now that inspiring me a lot... so we shall see.

Once I receive them, I'll be doubling down to finish some stuff I've always meant to (looking at you, 20 Thralls lol). Eventually I'll have to revisit most of my eels and finish off some of the details I never got around to finishing.

Currently waiting on the General's Handbook 2020 points to come out. I have a feeling Namarti maybe somewhat more viable than they were before.

The Lumineth cavalry is simply georgeous. I tend to find a lot of horse miniatures to be a little bit goofy looking. Those horses really are the noble steeds you see IRL. Lovely.

I agree, Loosh, the Dawnriders are definitely my favorite Lumineth unit and some of my favorite models in the AoS range at the moment!

So I made traded Celestine and the Mechanicus and will turn that investment into more Lumineth. I have a bad habit of trading my 40k stuff, but I think it's really because I want to wait for Craftworlds to get the Necron treatment to be honest. I'm just not too enthused right now for starting 40k even with 9th edition coming along.

Right now I'm focusing on my Lumineth for the foreseeable future. I did the get the paints I need to paint them as well! I've decided on the Ymetrica traditional color scheme! I hope to get started this weekend!

I lose track of all the stuff you pick up, never work on, then flip for more stuff!

In a way, I admire the practice...I would just suck it up, put it in my never to be painted drawer and then move on!

Looking forward to seeing some paint go down on the Lumineth dude!

Yeah, I keep getting mini-inspirations to get into 40k, but end up burning out and not wanting to play it. If I could paint like Cavalier or yourself Loosh, better believe I'd have a Harlequin army on the table! Followed by Craftworlds, of course!

GW has a lot of amazing sculpts it can be hard to pick. As much a I love my Eldar, there is only so many you can paint before it feels like work, that's when I break out something else to paint, usually a single box of something else is enough to break it up. Might be another way for you to get into 40k instead of getting big chunks of an army all at once.

Looking forward to see the new pointy ears with some paint on them.

Yeah that is true, I think I might have a 40k surprise for you guys in the next couple of weeks! ;D

In the meantime, will be working on some Realm-Lords to share on here! Waiting for the last of my stuff to come in.

Yeah, I think the light box has proven itself quite the cost efficient resolution over purchasing a high quality camera, though that'll be nice one day ;D.

I'm assembling more Realm-Lords for the legion. I got most of the paints I need, just need a few more. But it's been incredibly humid here for the last week and that'll continue well into the next week.

So, it's airbrush time 8).

These are looing terrific Myen'Tal! The colour scheme is just right; blue and yellow are classic partners, but the muted tones of the yellow are what sets these models apart imho. The fact they so much more neutral, more earthy, means they don't clash with the blue at all. The addition of purple as a spot colour isn't something I would have thought of in a million years, but again, it just works.

Great stuff mate, I can't wait to see you churn out more. You'll have a stunning battlefield ready force in no time.

Thank you for the compliments, guys :D! Truly appreciated! I have to say, that the difference in my enthusiasm for painting Realm-Lords and Idoneth is like night and day! I've been struggling to get through my deepkin, and at first I thought it was just because I no longer had a drive for painting.

But painting these lumineth for the first time... it was really fun! I think it actually brought out some of the best in my ability like I hadn't truly experienced in a long time.

I think I've found my paint calling in life with these realm lords... even more excited for Tyrion to make his way into AoS!

I hope aeldari will have the same effect for me as the realm-lords!

Thanks, Mage!

I feel you about the transportation, which is why I'll be using a magna rack! It's a magnetic case that'll keep them from shifting.

So a quick update about my situation: My roommates and I have been approved for moving into an actual house to rent out. I getting all of that squared away and will be gearing up for the big move in a couple of weeks!

I plan to create some manner of hobby space for myself, including a dedicated airbrush area.

What's more, I am also planning on creating my own table! No, it won't be handcrafted or anything, I'll be getting an alpha table for mobility and transportation, some mats, and a host of terrain that I plan on complementing with some cool bases for my Lumineth!

Stay tuned as I gear up for that!

Sounds great Myen'Tal! It really makes a nice difference when you can get a hobby area set up for dedicated use.

Those Lumineth are coming along fantastically; I'm glad you have ideas for transport though, because I'm with Mage...carrying those models around would terrify me!

Thanks, Dread!

The spearheads are actually somewhat metallic. It's magos purple contrast applied over stormhost silver in the same way you would apply contrast for a gem effect. Start toward the bottom, hold it for a brief moment so that it pools slightly, then drag up the length of the blade. This way less and less paint will reach the blade tip and make the stormhost silver shine through brighter. It makes for a good gradient :).

Those wardens are lovely Myen'Tal! Lovely!

When I loaded the page, I only had the head and shoulders of the guy at the top of the page showing and I genuinely thought I'd misclicked to a GW page. The Lightbox makes the images pop so much and really shows off your colour scheme brilliantly.

Simply gorgeous work.

More Wardens on the table!

Almost done with this gal! Just waiting on the crest to dry, then will finish it.

What do you guys think about the slight variation in scheme? It's mainly the trim on the robes and a softer wash on the cuirass.

Edited: Got a second one up to standard, just need to pick out the crest on both of them!

Hey Myen'Tal, I really like the softer variation on the Lumineth. Both versions work, but I think I might just favour the softer version, but it's very close. Great work nevertheless!

Lovely to see some of the Necrons built. They look like great models and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Hey Myen'Tal, you're making great progress with these Elves. I think the new spearmen are looking great.

Eltharion is largely brilliant, although I would personally consider lightening his armour a tad; the results of your armour that has been closer to bone than brown have been your best work so far and helps the blue look more vibrant.

One area I would suggest a reattach on, though, is the cloak. The underside of the cloak looks really good from what I can tell, but I think the top isn't your best workout just seems a bit rushed and the result is a little sloppy for you. I hate being critical of your work, because it's routinely great, but I've seen you produce better results in the past and think going back and having another go will really make this piece sing.

Keep up the progress bud!

Hey Loosh,

Thanks for the advice. Also, I'm not close to finishing Eltharion, ha-ha, I know the cloak does not look great at all lol. So I will be revisiting that soon. I'll also be brightening up his armor as well. I hit a frustration point with him, so I took a break and started doing wardens again!

In the meantime, here is another finished warden. I went back to GW's tried and true method for skintone painting and I think she looks a lot better because of it. I'm also starting to dot talassar blue contrast in the eyes, if you can tell.

That is such a cool looking army shot Myen'Tal! You've done excellent work creating a cohesive force. I love it.

I'm glad your nose wasn't put out of joint with what I said about Eltharion. The changes you've made have done wonders for the model. I really like what you've done and now Eltharion has the paint job that it's standing in the army demands.

Well done bud. Very well done.

Thanks Loosh, and no worries about the critique. You were spot on and I'm always open to constructive feedback :)! I think Eltharion came out quite a bit better because of your advice  :). I aim to paint another one up, just to see if I can one up myself sometime ;D.

But I'll need to move onto the rest of the army before that, already got one that I'm happy with!

The white on the shield is inconsistent, but white is painful, Looshkin might have some tips as he seems to have it down pat, but me I cheat ;) White undercoat then picking the right wash/shade effect, the new contrast white ontop of the white undercoat does the job.

Cav's method of using a very light grey light also works, I've found they have a better coverage, so its easier to get a smoother result and then you still have real white for highlights.

Hi Mage, this is a bright grey color actually, but next time I'll try creating more of a gradient to get that smoothness.

Did some more work o n this one, needs some cleanup, but close.

While I always love your work and if i critique something it's because i saw it. Now I'm thinking that the white on the shields, you know I cheat with white too, I would have went with a bright silver just for the silky smoothness but that just me. 8)

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm still working on how to tackle the shields.

Experimental base complete. Quite satisfied with it!

In the Age of Glories, long before the spiraling descent of the Spirefall, our God Teclis terraformed these verdant moorlands into a realm of levitating mountain paradises.

Ayrathia - The Coalition of the Summersea Mountains... Generations have passed since the Spirefall, and Ayrathia has long since forgotten peace and prosperity.

Several of the Summersea Princedoms endure even in the Age of Sigmar... have you ever seen the Dawnrider Knights gallop at full tilt across the broken moorlands of their shattered realm? The golden sunlight strikes their plate armor and their steeds' barding as if annointed by the Zenithal Avatars of Hysh.

To watch their legions sally forth is to witness the splendor of the Realm-Lords. It is to behold true glories.

that looks great Myen'Tal. I love to pose, but having only one leg connecting it to the base.. based on my experience, the best case is the glue will eventually let go, worst case the leg will snap. Maybe make it look like it was jumping over a log, so you can hide another way to support the model.
Title: Re: Conclaves of the Asur: Base Theme Test
Post by: Myen'Tal on September 4, 2020, 07:36:21 PM
Hey Mage, it just isn't the foot connected to the base. There's this long slot that the foot is embedded into. This is what's connected to the base, it's just been subtly covered. It should be fine. You would literally have to break it off. If you did so by accident and managed to break the foot base, chances are the model might be ruined anyway  ;) :P

These and the goblins make me wish my group played AoS, they look great. Those white bases look like they have some big cracks in them, I'd be very tempted to try cutting up some grass tuffs to slide in there and to keep the cracks visible with your soil mix.

4 more to complete and all 20 will be assembled and soon on the board!

Well I think it maybe some of both ;). I'll take that as a compliment though, Alienscar, lol :).

One maybe able to call it above tabletop standard, depending on one's said standard, but I did put a lot of work in these guys. The finishing touches is really just to clean up stuff that I missed and do some details that got overlooked. Also redoing the skin will probably be a big part of it. For the most part though, they'll just look subtly fancier  ;).

such a great looking model, was looking at it for a conversion. Is the head a separate bit?

Hey Mage,

So the Stonemage's head comes in three different pieces.

The face itself is attached to the front of the body.

The horns and the braid are together on a separate piece.

The face plate is a separate piece that goes over the head once the other pieces are joined.

looking good.

I found nulon oil and agrax are too dark for trying to shade white, but the contrast white does the job nicely. I found it works best if you paint it into the corners when you have a large area like the horses armour.

Are you spraying or painting with a brush? The smoothness is remarkable and looks great.

To be honest I can't see much difference between stage 2 and 3.

Thanks, guys!

@Magenb: I did that after I highlighted everything back up with a layer of corax white + ulthuan grey  ;) :P.

To be honest I can't see much difference between stage 2 and 3.

Believe it or not, it's by brush:

Corax white + mixing balls + wet pallete + lhamian medium = pretty thinned.

Primer = wraithbone

Brush = small drybrush, though don't drybrush it on.

So Stage 3 is a subtle highlight of corax white + ulthuan grey to highlight all of the armor on the rider and mount. It's not going to look too different from stage 2 in the photos, unfortunately. It's basically stage 2 cleaned quite a bit.

@Magenb, that particular stoneguard is actually modeled that way ;D.

I also have some howling banshees on the way, 2 kits of them actually.

I plan to paint about 5-10 Lumineth models, then I'll switch over to an eldar kit, paint that, then revolve back to Lumienth. At least that's the plan!

Looking good so far. Everything I look at your pics I see more. Can't wait to see how you're gonna do the horns, the detail on the head, etc. As for the banners, do a graduation from light blue down to dark and then gold overlays, just a thought. Also maybe a little more white dry brush on the top of the mountains.  I'm never gonna have this model so forgive me driving the horse.

CWE will not be get5ting a codex this year, you kind of want a codex released in the middle of their updates cycle as codex creep always happens.

Thanks, Mage, I think I might actually keep it that way, but make it sky blue!

I meant when CWE get their update sometime in 2021, if there aren't any new kits than I'll put a hold on them I think.

Took a break from the lumineth:

Am testing a branding new, cohesive scheme for my deepkin!

Will need to go back and pick out gems.

Thanks, Mage, ha-ha! Still got two more crew members to paint, and their harpoon launchers and then the crew will be finished! Then I can turn back to other aspects of the model. :)

Making progress on the shark!

Next step is to clean up / relayer the skin.

Finish off the details on the shark, mainly the mouth

Then start working on the crew / finish the harness

That is an excellent playing surface and the terrain looks really good as well.  The models that you've painted thus far stand out well among the terrain too, so it is all progressing very well.

Thanks to both of you  :)! I also love how the table turned out this game, came together thematically in a very cool way! Hoping to continue on the painting spree sometime next week!

Made some progress on the Klaivex, will probably try to clean those highlights up on the segmented armor. Still a few areas to pick out before calling him complete.

Yeah, you're right about the bands - I'll have to go in and change those. Probably make it the same red as the tabard.

Thanks for the comment! Got the rest of the unit and Drazhar to paint eventually!

Thanks, Mage!

Lessons learned

- I can mix shyish purple with screamer pink and produce the same base color

- it's actually easier to use in my experience over the army painter stuff I got.

- got to be patient on the face - had an unfortunate mishap with the eyes and it went downhill lol, can only salvage what I had, but better than ruining it lol.

-The canoptek alloy over runelord brass color is basically the same pale gold all the lumineth players hate creating with dryad bark and liberator gold on the trim. - corax white on a wet pallet is basing white in easy mode

- Overall, a successful test - but there are some things I can definitely improve to make it look smoother.  :)

Its so fun when your doing something to create a color just to find out you were doing the same thing with other color techniques. Been there. I really like the look of it so far tho, good choice of a model to test on.

Hobby Progress!

Decided to try contrast out again for quicker basing. I have decided that I'm going to rebase the armor and undersuit as I do not like the finish as it stands, even without highlight.

That&#39;s looking sharp!

Thank you!

Also managed to do some work on the mount skin for all the Akhelian Corps. I may have overdone it on the skintones, but I think when all the other elements like the armor and the akhelians themselves get picked out, then it&#39;ll all come together a lot more, as those are the cohesive elements.

Thanks, Dread, I'm doing well in spite of the winter storms. Hope all of our 40k Online members are staying well and safe  :).

I actually missed like one spot on the back of one of the ghostides, so now I have to correct it lol. But everything else is coming together

I like the blending on the purple wreck, but I really like the green one.

Drazz is a very cool looking model, will be interesting to see him among his dark kin keep it up :)

Thanks, Mage  :).

My goal is to bring Drazhar and the rest of the Incubi squad, along with the rest of the Khinerai to tabletop standard this weekend. Let's see if I can complete the challenge!

as flesh paints they look great, I don't think the yellow flesh works with the rest of the colour scheme though, the metal armour kind of gets lost in the mix. could be a very interesting flesh tone for goblins.

Hi Mage,

Thanks for the feedback! After looking at it, I'm inclined to agree with you. I think she'll just have to stand out, but I'll stick with the other colors for the rest of the army.

Is it a dark blue and light blue on the warriors or is there a hint of purple in there? I swear I'm seeing a purple tinge on the one with the splinter rifle.

Thanks, Mage  :).

There isn't purple in there, it maybe the black, and white from the zenithal highlight that makes it look that way. Or it's probably the filter I used when taking the photo.

Is the ball-joint thing on the shark from the box, or custom made? Is it magnetic, or glued?

Hi Godspeed,

It's a custom magnetic stand from the magnetbaron.com.

It's pretty convenient!

Alright, so it&#39;s been a long time since I&#39;ve worked on these warmblooded creatures, not of the deep seas...

All that being said, I&#39;m really loving the  way this model is turning out!

The skin of the cow-roo is several layers of contrast mixes and blends, a wash of agrax, and a light drubrush of orange + with brown.

The colors are at a variety of stages here.

Azyr's celestial energies scatter throughout the mortal realms. The skies blacken, wicked lightning bristling in the bellies of dark thunderhead clouds.

Let the Hammers of Sigmar take the first glories.

Let the Anvils of the Heldenhammer keep their vigil as the Old Guard

Let the Celestial Vindicators brutalize the minions of chaos to red ruin.

It is the task of the Celestial Warbringers, who have foreseen our own deaths, to crusade and burn bright amid the flames of righteous battle!

Go now! Take to the heavens, and fall amidst the darkness as the burning light of the stars themselves!

-- Osana Bright Spear of the Celestial Warbringers

 


Still need to work on the cloak and face, but getting up to my current battle standard for the Warbringers!

Thanks, Dread! Looking forward to you showing us the Way of the Brush again  ;D .

looking good, I dig the colour of the stone steps, it goes well with the stone and rubble in the other bases.

Thanks, Mage, I'm particularly proud of the stone steps! So I'm glad someone else mentioned them  :)!

You have done a fantastic job on the wings, I agree.  I would also say that the armour is looking very good too.  The magenta colour is very attractive and contrasts well against the celestial colour of the wings.

Thanks, guys!

Have you applied some sort of weathering to the armor, or are my eyes deceiving me?

So first I applied a black wash, not thinned at all - which turned out a bit heavy.

Went back and layered  up the armor. Then did a wash of carroburg crimson, let it dry, then followed with Druchii violet, out of the pot, but applied carefully. That's probably what created the effect.

Your reinforcements are coming along great Myen'Tal. That's some psychic goodness you've got going on there in the corner. Very interested to see how Eldrad comes out in yellow as opposed to his traditional colour scheme of black and bone. I see the banshees have been sprayed more of a bone colour. Are you aiming for more traditional aspect colouring or tying them into the Iyanden theme? Those deepkin models look gnarly. The one with the shield is very Atalantian and I love that they come with stylized bases. Keep up the good work!

Looking great Myen'Tal. That cloak looks great, but I'd almost be tempted to suggest to have some free hand or transfer ruins put on it. It looks like it would be a great candidate. Not sure if its something you tried before, but it's not too difficult.

Thanks, Dog of War!

I agree, will need to some transfers to use soon!

But I have never worked with them before, but it's time I probably did.

ooooooooooooooooo more pointy ears :)

Nice lighting effects on the fireprism, and I like the black engines and rear door.

If you want to put  the "runes" on the Eldrad model, check out the decal sheets, one of them will have a straight line of runes in one sticker, but it can be cut up so you don't have to free hand it :)

That's a heap of nice minis there and can't wait to see the progress that you make. If you are looking at working with transfers, the one grouping that magenb mentioned is great and a perfect scale for the cloak in my opinion. I also highly recommend investing in some lahmian media to help smooth everything out before you apply it and some 'ard coat to seal it.
Title: Re: Chronicles of the Brush: Iyanden's Journey
Post by: Myen'Tal on November 24, 2021, 06:29:13 PM
Thanks guys  ;D.

Would any varnish due or does it need to be specifically 'ard coat? I don't know if it's a formula that make people prefer the 'ard coat.

Will get the transfers!


Title: Re: Chronicles of the Brush: Iyanden's Journey
Post by: dog_of_war on November 24, 2021, 09:01:44 PM
I think any varnish will do, but I prefer the 'ard coat simply for the fact that I'm only applying it just to the transfer and not the entire model and most varnishes I find are sprays. What I do is use the lahmian media to smooth out the paint, let it dry and then apply the transfer. Once dried I do a coat of 'ard coat to seal it and then apply the lahmian media again to take away the gloss left by the varnish.

When priming by airbrush, it is much easier to assemble multiple things and just do everything in one run ^^.

Painting them, I find it is also a good way not to burn one self out on focusing on one color scheme  :).

Your Stormcast Eternals army is looking so impressive. Major kudos for the look you have achieved there, it's pretty legendary!

Those Banshees and Nuad'had are really nice as well.

Krondys is super impressive so far. Looking forward to see where you go with that mini (bigi? It's freaking massive!!).

Thank you, Dog_of_War!

Glad you are liking it.

So, a question for you all - since I've had a lot of indecision on this topic.

What Craftworld should I paint - and it can be either a major or minor one too.
Title: Re: Chronicles of the Brush: Iyanden's Journey
Post by: Irisado on January 4, 2022, 05:41:19 AM
The hair is looking particularly good thus far.  I really like the shade of red that you have chosen.

As for the choice of craftworld, my recommendation would be to go with the one that you find the most interesting.  After all, we may all make suggestions for a craftworld that you actually do not like ;).

- Zenithal highlight of white primer over black
- You may find using a dark or just grey variant between the black and white more useful
- combination of fyreslayer flesh and darkoath flesh on the top of the wings - apply the lighter color over the zenithal highlight first
- I think I used straight up darkoath flesh on the bottom side of the wings or maybe wyldwood, can't remember
- Skeleton horde on the main body where the white primer is concentrated
- Blend in Aggoros dunes, nazdreg yellow, and some of the darkoath flesh and fyreslayer flesh around the relevant parts of the wing membrances, joints, bones, etc.
- Drybrush with gorthor brown
- lighter drybrush of balor brown in two or three passes
- lighter drybrush of balor brown mixed with Vallejo game air beasty brown
- Final drybrush of balor brown-beastybrown mix with a little kislev flesh mixed in

Something like that, I really should have written it down lol

Built 12 windriders over the weekend - left off the underslung weapon on every 3rd model to magnetize both shuriken cannon and scatter laser weapon options.

Still have 3 more to build.

I also have a farseer skyrunner and two warlock skyrunners to build.

Those Banshees are looking sick Myen'Tal! Really well executed and, tbh, it's really nice to see the iconic colour scheme.

Looking forward to see what you do with those bikes. They're really good kits and were an absolute pleasure to paint.

Tried a different take on my first war walker. Realized now that I should used a better light source - cause then I would have noticed the wild rider red highlight is not only too bright - it should have been used as a corner highlight.

Both aren't done - but wanted to see opinions between both schemes? I think the wraithlord scheme I might use on just the wraith units. Once I nail the war walker scheme down - might proceed with that on everything else - for the red I mean.

Is that a metalic red, or just red?

If it were me, I'd just do an edge highlight to make the pannels pop. tedious, but the cleanest way to do so. Red is a hard colour to work with for sure.
Title: Re: Chronicles of the Brush: Iyanden\'s Journey
Post by: Myen'Tal on February 6, 2022, 11:24:51 AM
So it's several individual layers of turbodork 'redrum' over the original red I established previously. I used violet ink - thinned down to shade the recesses. I then used about two coats of thinned flesh tearers red + lahmian medium to deepen the metallic red into a color more resembling that of Saim-Hann. Hope that answers your question!

Is the underside finished? It sorta looks like it's been "dirtied" or possibly some of the black lacquer has been worn off revealing the steel beneath - and in either case I really like that effect.

Thank you, Godspeed! Yeah, for now I'm calling it finished. It's not too difficult to pull off - basically a gloss black primer to coat the model by airbrush. The underside is basically Turbodork 'Black Ice' then a drybrush of semi-bright metallic, followed by a lighter brush of something much brighter, then dying it down with carefully applied nuln oil.

Hey Loosh,

Thank you!

I'm going to try speeding up the painting process for these guys - maybe just need to take a weekend and get most of the base colors on by airbrush, as opposed to doing it part way, then having to layer repeatedly to get a similar effect.

Thank you, Mage - it is a big shift, but I think I was a bit overbold before  :). When you say pairing with gold, do you mean layering gold over it, layering snakebit over gold, or using gold as a secondary - complimentary color?

You can see how gold compliments on the Ranger I just posted below.

Yeah, I've been using golds from other brands - this time trying turbodork variants. I find this new method - which is turbodork Gold Rush over the SBL, works pretty well - that is just one coat. I'll give it a second one for a cleaner look the next time I revisit this guy.

Thank you, Loosh! That means a lot  :). Yeah I guess I shouldn't really call them battle standard. I haven't highlighted anything yet, but I do a number of things to make each part of the model look as good as possible, so I guess that is above battle standard  :).

Hey Dread, thanks - yeah I'm going to focus on getting the rest of this stuff painted before assembling anymore lol.

Also, I've lost all three of my crusade games thus far - the mission, recon patrol, is a bit brutal at this points level and board size.

It's also the first three 40k games a year after life... my first four or five 40k games too  :).

The purple loin cloth looks great, I'm not sure about he purple on the hood though.

If you are looking to include some red to make it fit in with the rest of your army, check out the 2nd edition paint scheme for him, it had a red shuriken cannon.

Thanks, Mage!

Do you mean using purple on the hood as a color or just that it looks unfinished (I didn't notice all that white before splotched on it - will clean that up)?

the purple on the hood looks out of place to me. So does the purple on the wraithlords hands, I finding I'm looking at them every time, which draws away from other bits like the black on the lower legs, which looks awesome and the dust over the feet tying it into your basing which looks great too.

Understood, thanks for the feedback. I think you're right, I can see how that would detract from the model a bit. I'll probably change those to black  :).

I really like the colour variations across all these models.  It adds variety and the splashes of unexpected colour usually add something positive to most of them.  I do agree with the comments about the purple on Maugan Ra though.  It does not work because it looks out of place to have a purple hood with the black cloak.  They really need to be the same colour in my opinion, so either go with all purple or all black, but not a mixture of the two.

Thank you, Irisado! I appreciate Magenb's and your feedback about Maugan Ra's hood, I will definitely change it to match the rest of the cloak!

Definitely feeling the war hosts of Saim-Hann coming together!

And three crusade games as well!

Thanks, Mage!

The Custodes match was postponed, but went up against the "rumored" - new Tyranids, just going to share some pictures as obviously speaking about rumors would be against form rules.

Here's some pics of our game - Saim-Hann vs Hive Fleet Leviathan!

PS - Forgive the terrible lighting of the photos, didn't necessarily see how stark it was when taking them!

Battle notes: I had a Seer Council (4 warlocks and a farseer), and a farseer Skyrunner, matching our psychic might against the rumor-nids was so thematic and awesome!

Autarch was a hero, killed over twenty gaunts with that death spinner and chainsword!

Storm Guardians are awesome, but I made some mistakes positioning them, like forgetting to move one of their teams.

I kept the Howling Banshees back too late, by the time they disembarked, their wave serpent exploded, killing two banshees, six storm guardians, and dealing a plethora of mortal wounds to all tyranid creatures in six inches of the explosion.

Fire Prisms are awesome, but keep your strands of fate ready to help them hit and wound on otherwise missed opportunities

Guardian Defenders are great, bright lance platforms mvp! Watching a unit of 10 shred an entire hourmagaunt unit was pretty cool.

Windriders showed up, by I messed up target priority, unloaded into the tyranid warrior unit instead of gaunts, and basically a killed a Tyranid warrior. Great.

In the end the Aeldari were overrun, about 45- 20, something like that. But it was a great first 2k game, very fun!

Spent the last two hours dusting off my Thunder-cast collection - everything I've painted thus far.

Upon doing so, I definitely rekindled my fire for the Warriors of the Azyr. Never realized how awesome this army I painted looks until tonight, though still much more to do on it.

I took the chance to retake pictures, as I never really did anything on a more focused scale aside from large group pics after beginning

Well mate you have a gosh darn strong dedication to variety in headstyling, this 1 squad guardians have more hair out than my whole eldars army combined.  That's some insane dedication to faces ! I run Away from those with all my might.


I can't speak about any of the interest of these age of sigmar minis but... What a color skim, I love it! it's so slick! The balance on all the model is pretty damn spot on, these guy's have a very menacing aura to them. Pretty sure on a table they are looking amazing ! Congrats !

Thank you, Grizzlykin! Yeah, I'm still working on improving my face game lol, can't get better at something by not doing it. Thanks about the stormcast too, I'm thinking of continuing to work on them!

The colours are great.  You've managed to capture the ostentatious nature of the models without excessive glare being applied from the paint.  Purple and gold has always been a very effective combination.

Thank you, that was the crux of this paint scheme - how to make it dark enough to look intimidating and not appallingly bright, haha.

Your progress, as always, is phenomenal. I'm always awestruck by just how much work you get done.

The Avatar is looking extraordinarily good. I think you've done a top notch job with the overall 'heat' of the model, without the flames aspect overwhelming the rest of the detail. Really great job that is going to push me to new levels when I paint mine!

I agree with Looshkin, it's a clean balance you pull off with your avatar.

Sylvanth is just the coolest AoS army and I will not hear otherwise! The modes are just way too beslubbering good and cool. For plastic bits with some paint, they give this feeling of living wood absolutely brilliantly.

Also are you telling me you painted all of these aeldary's in the time it took me to paint 5 tau guy's? What kind of insane pace is this xD. You are insanely fast! Keep up the good work :D

Thank you, Grizzlykin! Yeah, I'm really feeling the traditional Saim-Hann red and white instead of spending a lot of trial and error making my own scheme.

That unit is an Arch-Revenant - still working on him! Going to start painting some new sylvaneth here after some good new reveals for their faction.

Is it me or does the new ranger kit kinda feels like skitariis, the cloak shape just give me that vibes. I am ashamed to be an eldar player and say that xD but that's the feeling I'm getting.

That said sylvaneth is just the coolest AOS army and I will not accept otherwise that bad boy at the back is looking mighty fine, this is gonna be fun to watch, really looking forward to what you do with these!

Hi Grizzly,

Yeah - the ranger and the skitarri kit do have some similarities - that's true. I think it's the fact both units have cloaks, rifles, and an inhumanly slender silhouette.

Yeah I'm loving painting and building the Sylvaneth so far!

More progress:

Oooooh, are you going for charred/burned/corrupted Wood kinda vibe on these ones? Or am I the one smoking here instead of your models? (Is it my phone trolling me)

Well even if I'm wrong this is looking good. Good luck with the rest :D

That's in the general vicinity - I'm going for a winter theme here  :D !

Speaking of which - he's about finished - will post again when I've finished the base.

Niceeeeeeee, is this Arch-Revenant or what not, is he some kind of herald of fall?

There is this really cool effect on your base as if the place he walk over wither and fall, as if in front it's lush green, and after a few steps of his only fallen leaves are on the ground, I don't know if it was intentional, and I bet it was, but this looks really cool.

So the concept behind Warsong Revenants (not an Arch-Revenant, my bad) bring life wherever they travel, singing the spirit song that soothes the sylvaneth and is bane to others.

And thank you for the kind words  :).

Hi Godspeed,

I'm really liking the new models to be honest! Especially, that Lady of Vines!

Gossamid Archers maybe my least favorite, but I still like that Sylvaneth have archers and I think they're design is solid.

Also loving the fact that Sylvaneth got eel-level shock cavalry, but I'm really wanting to see some of the models in person.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update - been stuck in a hobby rut for the last little while, guess due to burnout. I've taken some time away from painting... I'm excited to say that I'm ready to step back up to the painting table this weekend.

I've got some cool stuff coming over the next few days. Here is my current pile of shame as it stands for the most part.

- Throndian Strongpoint Terrain Box w/ Incarnate
- Age of Sigmar Objectives
- 10x Gossamid Archer Sylvaneth
- 1 Lady of Vines
- 2x Kurnoth Hunter Units
- 2x Treelords plus the Treelord that I'm working on
- 2x Awakening Wyldwoods
- 20x Tau Empire Pathfinders
- 1 Shadowsun to continue working on
- 1 Tau Start Collecting Set
- A bunch of Aeldari mad that I'm not painting finishing painting them  :D

You've chosen some very unorthodox colour combinations for your Autarch.  It's rather akin to combining Alaitoc and Saim Hann colour schemes.  I'll be interested to see how this turns out.  I'm not sure about the violet at the moment, but it's too early to tell for certain.

Am going to do one more pass on the red armor base color to smooth it out / clean it up. Then will highlight.

That terrain is glorious.  It has a very Lord of the Rings vibe to it and the colours are spot on for some kind of summoning place for spirits.  Whether it is intended for that purpose is a different question, but it looks great.

Work done this weekend!

No washes yet on the new stuff, except the terrain piece

Additional layering / blending I can do on the stealth suit weapons, but I don't want to overdo it too quickly and end up messing up what I'm aiming for.

Pro tips, I managed the vast majority of this just blending / mixing / glazing contrast paints together with separate layers both semi-blended or just layered over each other. A combination of washes and drybrushing and the one or two normal base paints I need achieved the rest. Except the torch, that took some time and honestly, a lot of luck and some wisdom I gained from painting the Avatar of Khaine.

Worked on a little more terrain today.

I let this dry overnight, ready to clean up any missed areas, wash the stone again to darken it down more, and then it'll be ready to highlight up.

Hey 40k online,

It's been a while - been a hobby journey for the last couple of years and have learned a lot of lessons.

I've officially sold a lot of armies as I've come full circle after reigniting my passion for all things elven.

Been through a lengthy break from the hobby. I have on the way the humble beginnings of a lumineth force that I aim to take to an annual local tournament next year. And then it is on to rebuilding the glories of the Craftworlds.

I am hoping to have some cool work soon!

Thank you, Sir_Godspeed, I've been studying a lot of lumineth painting guides and was able to gleam some key information on how a lot of the main GW schemes are achieved and done. I wanted to do something different, but wanted to keep the neutral white and bold, but not really vibrant colors.

Got some more work done today!

The red is beautiful.  You've managed to shade it just right to complement the white correctly.  It's not too bright, which is often the problem when painting red alongside white, so well done for making it a bit darker.

Thanks @irisado! Yeah I learned quickly from my Saim-Hann not to go overboard and make the red too bold, haha. I learned a lot about red painting that army!

Looks great!

As I get back into the swing of painting - muscle memory is returning to my brushwork. Getting more efficient, smoother, and cleaner.

Got everything I have so far assembled and a pair of sentinels painted. Got a few things to clean up before calling it tabletop standard.

It's like a brush-made zenithal - then you use heavily thinned contrast to block in the colors. This was my first attempt and not perfect, but am happy with overall success.

The luminor shrine came out better than I expected!

The fur / skin on the mount is a number of thinned contrast colors - blended in more toward the lower legs / concentrated fur areas. I finished with a wash of beserker red + reikland fleshshade.

It's all looking so great. I'm really liking the Stonegate color palette so far. I've been so busy in the hotrod world lately but getting lots of models built. Have a nice site Deathguard army now and been assembling the plethora of squigs I have now. But soon will pick up the brush again. Check in on you soon.

@Dread: Thank you! Glad to hear about the cool stuff you're doing with the hotrods - what a cool hobby and past-time!

@magenb: Thanks! Yeah, I was looking for another way to kind of diversify / make some unique poses. I looked at the storm guardian and defender bitz and I saw that some of the pistol options for Storm Guardians worked with the defender arms that carried their shuriken catapults in one hand!

@Sir_Godspeed: Yeah it turned out pretty well - I like the violet wash, but I am adjusting the thinning ratio to make it neater / more efficient. It's taking some experimenting, but it's getting there!

Thank you guys!

Red and gold remains one of my favourite colour combinations to this day.  It was the first colour combination that I ever painted.  Thankfully, you're a much better painter than me though, so your figures are coming on very well indeed.  Keep up the good work :).

Armor established on the Wardens, Stoneguard, and Stonemage. Still needs a little cleanup, but will wait until the other details are brought up to snuff.

Lower robes basecoated - still need to base the robes on the upper torsos next.

Other remaining details like the weapon hafts to come.

Love everything I see that you're doing. I do like the color combos that I'm seeing. Keep at it.

Thank you, Irisado! I've become very proud of it!

Got some more work done today - just about table-top across the board!
Got some details fixed up and done on Khaine.
Cleaned up the Fire Prisms a bit more!
Got the Shining Spears more up to snuff and did some work on Jain Zar!

Thank you, Irisado! As for how to store a model like Severith, you have to ask that a lot when you're playing lumineth  ;D. I feel like magnetized bases with cases that can hold magnets is the best solution!

Your painting has a very neat, crisp, and acurrate feel to it that comes over very well on Eldar in particular.  The Wraithlord really stands out well and I do particularly appreciate the contrast of the old axe head vis-à-vis the red armour plating.

I am envious of your white. It is by far my least favourite colour to paint... Though i'll admit i have limited experience with Yellow.

A question, the plastic Howling Banshees... I have 4 full squads of the girls myself, though they are all metal. Are the plastic kits a significant step up? Should i be looking at squad 5? Do they come with a Triskele?

Thank you, Lachdonin! For the white - I've found in my experience, how good it comes out does really come down a lot to the brand you choose. They are all so different consistency wise. Been having a good time with Duncan's two thin coats and layering up from bone to cream to white.

As for the banshees, I believe they are a significant step up, but outside of the exarch, which has a number of options, the other poses can't be varied much outside of kitbashing.

The Exarch has two heads and comes with mirror swords, executioner, and triskele (all three are in the kit!) - I'd recommend at least one squad of 10 of the new models, in addition to the new Jain Zar.

Very jealous of your vibrant reds! At the peril of asking a question that's been asked before, what's your process?

So I've experimented with a few methods here. The most current scheme that works for me is using a white scar or wraithbone primer and using a few contrast medium thinned layers of Baal Red contrast. I think layer up with the duncan rhodes two thin coats paints sanguine red, then highlight with demon red, fanatic orange, then orange flare. I also wash with bezerker blood shade from GW.

Hey Mage,

Yep - it's not quite perfect fits, but the terrain can easily be paired to make some L-shaped terrain layouts in addition to a few others.

I think it works very well!

Thank you! So the basing is a combination of two pre-mixed sets of basing ready material that I slammed together. I gave it that swampy jungle look by washing it with a heavy shade of Seraphim Sepia. You can see the terrain mixes at Geek Gaming Scenics USA, I believe it's called.

I think red is an inbetween color when it comes to difficulty - a challenge to paint, but not like black or yellow. So I think that's why i like it so much, and it looks really good when done up to a bold shade! I am toning down how much red will be in the army though, since I doing a forgeworld scheme that is closer to Lucius.

It took me a few years to realise retrospectively that red must be my favourite colour because nearly all my armies had some of it. Certainly easier to paint than yellow.

Nope - just nuln oil or agrax earthsade so far!

I am not certain I have a favorite color to paint - just a desire to learn how to paint any color I need to pretty well for what I want to achieve!

I thought the stilt walkers would look better if they had reverse jointed bird legs like a crane. No idea how to convert it though, its just it looks very stiff and awkward as they are.

Cracking progress, I love the magos with the scuttling claws coming out from his robes. There are really great models in the range to play with.

Thank you! It's not so bad if you build up from a dark or more neutral grey!

Also that "Farseer" I have you know, is Eldrad Ulthran, the most legendary farseer of Craftworld Ulthwe and the Aeldari! Since he is a named character, I painted him more true to his craftworld scheme. He'll be 'advising' my Saim-Hann forces when needed  ;D.
Title: Re: Chronicles of the Brush: For the Greater Good
Post by: PaxImperator on November 30, 2023, 02:31:11 AM
Cheers, I suspected it might be Eldrad. I actually thought the old Eldrad miniature looked pretty good and there was no real need for GW to make a new one. Then after seeing your post I did a side-by-side comparison and wow! The new one's much better proportioned and dynamically posed than the old one. Then again the old one does date back to the early 90s and compared favourably to contemporary models.

Those Wraithguard really do look fabulous.  I know that they are already a very smooth sculpt, but the way in which you paint them enhances that effect.  As for Eldrad, I appreciate seeing a different approach to the colour palette and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Not really, they come in pairs. There are a handful that are like 3/4 complete, but are missing like a small piece from the knee down that you have to attach.

Thank you! Yes, the new Guardian Defenders and much of the new aeldari kits have the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' theme going on. Just goes to show that Jes Goodwin is a mastermind!

Yes, I will eventually be acquiring several vehicles for the Mechanicus in time. They have a few vehicles, but not as many as you'd expect.

Those elf miniatures look pretty if rather impractically equipped in places. The multi-string bow and oversized helmet horns come to mind. Great work on the painting though!

It's really a lot of layers of the same color, combined with a few thinned out washes. That's likely what is creating that effect.

Thank you!

I agree, it's a Mars pattern scheme, but I think it still works with my overall scheme, which is really only for the infantry models!

Nice models! I like how dynamically you posed them. Do they still get a better armour save and slower movement compared to other Eldar?

So each aspect warrior shrine now has MEQ save and I believe an invulnerable save. Guardians have gone from a 5+ save to a 4+, which the Storm Guardians serpent shield providing an invulnerable save as well.

Most Aspect Warriors move 7", with Dark Reapers moving an inch slower and Howling Banshees moving an inch faster.

Interesting. That sounds uncharacteristicall y durable for Eldar to my 4th edition ears. Between this, the bigger=better marines and the 'everyone gets a re-roll' antics I've heard about I'm starting to think the power level in 40K must have gone up across the board over the past editions. Almost everyone can now forfeit shooting to gain a random distance worth of additional movement too, can't they?

Yes, to forgo shooting and changes, you can 'advance' an extra dice in your movement phase. Some units have rules that let them 'advance and shoot' or 'advance and charge' or a combination of both. The re-rolls have been toned down so much in 10th edition that I don't think it's really an issue anymore.

Hi Lachdonin,

Yes, I definitely think the new sculpts are worth it! They go together pretty well and a lot of the bits are interchangable outside of the actual poses of the legs and torso. You have to be careful because when you put the legs together, might take multiple tries to get right and any glue smudge can melt those raised ridges on that area. The poses are kind of not too customizable, but they all look good and especially the Exarchs. Details are great, from the belts to the filigree to the runes on the chainswords.

I say they are definitely worth the cost over all!

Good to know. Some plastic Aspect Warriors may be in my future this year then.

They look great! It's helping me with what I want to do with my DoK. On another note, just ordered a ton of the flesh eaters models. The are pretty freaking cool.

The detail on the Striking Scorpion is incredible.  How you do these things I just don't know.  Either way, it is most impressive.

The terrain for Age of Sigmar is coming along well too.  You certainly have a lot of painting to do with all those figures too.  I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed the small shields before. Those probably make them the best armoured witch elves in GW history! A surprisingly sensible wardrobe choice given their predilection for up-armoured bikinis. ;D Looking forward to seeing where you'll take them next.

These are really good.  They are going to look even more impressive in battle.  If only you could paint mine!

Calling the armor finished - could've done the highlights a bit better, but I'm happy with where these nine are at. Moving on to the other details!

Thank you! I still have some things I need to do on the scorpions before calling them finished! Beginning to assemble the skitarii now. Painting Ad Mech is really fun!

They do look great, especially with the bases now flocked! The yellow on the armour looks very bright and crisp over the green too. I imagine the yellow took more than one coat?

Oh yes, it took a few coats of dorn yellow. Then I cheated and used glazes of imperial fist to turn it to bright yellow!  ;) The yellow ridges still might actually be the longest part of painting these guys to be honest.

They definitely look finished to me now.  The bases are the icing on the cake.  They have turned out superbly.

Nice work! The snow effect on the big quadruped walkers looks especially convincing. It's a fine line between using too much and too little.
