I just finished up all the miniatures for Lost Patrol... so what's left on the workbench!? Not a LOT... I moved a BUNCH of stuff off into storage boxes - kept NEAR the workbench, but not ON the workbench, just to help me stay focused...
The main thing I guess I'm working on are the miniatures for Crypt Hunters (the slightly-less-deadly, Age of Sigmar reskin of Lost Patrol!) I'm hoping to knock these out quickly (like in the next few days...?) and get back to regular Age of Sigmar things...
the Castigators were made in this nice gold coloured plastic... There was a part of me that could see not painting the miniatures if you were just a board gamer...
The Conrasting Blue of the Nighthaunts was nice... Unfortunately, unlike the Stormcast, they did NOT have sculpted bases, just regular black slotta bases... So they'd have looked less pretty if left unpainted... Not that I was ever not going to paint them...
The Path to Glory League being run through the local Warhammer Store starts this Sunday... I'm not sure I'm going to make it out for this first game day.
I've kind of flip-flopped on what army to use for this first campaign. I'd settled on Hedonites of Slaanesh - largely because I didn't need to paint a thing for it (other than the endless spells...)... but then actually looked at the rules for all of them and what I had that I COULD build... and then decided I needed to do a completely DIFFERENT Hedonites of Slaanesh army that seemed like WAY MORE FUN! But that would require painting 15 more mounted seeker cavalry... and I started in on them... and then I had a practice game and broke another slickblade seeker - just getting it out of the cabinet!? So when it was announced that, for this league being run by the store, games had to be played IN the store... and I'm just not feeling like transporting the Hedonites there every week for games and then having to repair these dainty little models that break...
So I starting thinking again, and, despite the fact that I could totally run Blades of Khorne if I painted ONE UNIT of Blood Warriors... or Sylvaneth if I painted up 15 Tree-revenants (which are super quick and easy to paint...), I settled on Slaves to Darkness... which I have next to NOTHING painted for... but seemed like more fun and the minis seem a bit more beefy and able to be transported without TOO much damage!?
So that's what else is s on the workbench...
Mostly Darkoath riders... and the Chaos Ogors - which I'm not sure I'd include in the Paths to Glory army... they're just there for FUN! Not sure I did any work on the Riders, I did do SOME work on the mounted warlord and the Ogors this past week.
Oh, and the Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount has made her way back onto the workbench... (which I forgot to include in the picture above). While she is ostensibly the leader of the host, I'm not sure I'll end up using her as the General of a Path to Glory army... I feel like I'd probably use a Sorceress or Darkoath Warlord...?
Oh, and the Chaos Sorcerer/ess (which I ALSO forgot to include in the picture above..!?
I MAY yet switch gears AGAIN and assemble and paint some Chaos Knights instead - so they force can be led by a Chaos Sorceress!
There are also a few Warhammer Underworlds warbands skulking about that I'm hoping to finish up by the time the new edition is released - just 2.5 weeks from now!!
Hoping to return to playing Warhammer Quest this evening - with just Finnegan and Amanda - to finish off Shadows Over Hammerhal!
WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE WORKING ON THIS WEEK!?

Great painting Tim!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteLots of great chaos types, my 40k Khorne army started out as a Slaves to darkness army, a big old hardback that did 40k and warhammer for Slannesh and Khorne, think it was three or four codexes later before it vaugley resembled being finished and I should do it some time! Working on nothing, couldn't bring anything on the flight for work but back to converting Napoleonic figures, maybe I'll stick some WIP shots on the blog so you can have a look?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Realms of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness? I remember that book. I think it had a d1000 chart full of random mutations that went on for pages!? I can't remember what they other one was called. Lost and the Damned pops into my head, but I feel like I'm mixing it up with something else!?
DeleteI do love seeing process pics of conversions!
I never got into any of the chaos stuff. Looks like you have been busy.

I still have some space ork pirates on my painting desk, but dental health issues have left me not feeling like doing much. I still hope to get them finished soon though. :)
Oh no! I hope your dental issues can be resolved shortly! That is no fun at all!
DeleteThanks! :)
