It's been a minute since I did any sort of hobby update...
There was some disruption with the bee Room-Swaperoo, but I've slowly been sorting out the new workspace and trying to get some work done.
In the meantime.. I bought some more stuff...
Sylvaneth Endless Spells... picked up after my game on Monday at the Dragon's Den.
I have been assembling and painting said spells along with the Goassamid Archers and Feculent Gnarlmaw and GREAT UNCLEAN ONE that are STILL on the workbench.
The Great Unclean One is SOOOOOO close to being finished... I just need to finish up details on the cloth covering it's bottom and then a pile of little Nurglings that will be added to the base. I wasn't initially going to do so many of those... but then realized one of it's attacks is "Swarm of Nurglings" and I thought it would be silly to make such an attack if there weren't any Nurglings at all on the base!?
Ideally, I'd like to get at least ONE of the Sylvaneth Endless Spells and the Gossamid Archers done by the weekend in case I can convince Amanda to play Age of Sigmar. Ideally I'd like to get the Feculent Gnarlmaw done as well.. but as I'll be on the attack in our campaign, I might not get to really use it...

Great unclean one looks excellent already! The spells look like a good idea?

Thanks!
DeleteSpells are kind of... ehhhh.... I don't know. It's hard to be a little bitter and feel like it's just an excuse for GW to sell you more stuff and make money... In previous editions, they used to cost points, so I didn't really consider them, I don't know how many people did... In the current edition, in most formats, they cost no points to your army, it's just a thing you can summon onto the board and in many ways acts like another unit... so if you're NOT taking them and all your opponents are (because... FREE STUFF!) you're at a bit of a disadvantage... Also... not all factions HAVE endless spells and not ALL endless spells are all that useful.
All that being said, some of them are really interesting models - which is mostly what motivates me to buy anything... and some of them do interesting things on the tabletop and/or add some really thematic flavour to the game...?
