Goretim the Reddish - Lord of Khorne

I have finished the Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut! 

Goretim the Reddish, Lord of Khorne, on their Juggernaut, Bloodbatter! 

I am going to use this as the leader of my Paths to Glory force. They command a small force that originated in the Eastern Parch. Most of the warhost was destroyed in the Skaventide event and ever since they have been fighting their way through mounds of Skaven to reach other Khorne forces in the Southeast part of the Parch near the South edge of the Adamantine Mountain range... bringing them ever closer to the Ravaged Coast! 

Goretim the Reddish leading their [to-be-named] Bloodbound Horde (and some daemoic allies!)

(probably MORE than I'll ever need for Paths to Glory!)

The Khorne Lord on Juggernaut is not in the new Battletome (because the model has been discontinued). I did find a Battletome supplement PDF On the Warhammer Website that had the stats for this model (which is still playable in matched play until July 2026...?). I'll probably use the Anvil of Apotheosis rules to build a custom Khornate Warlord - probably just a 150 point Bloodbutcher (there are also Gore Chieftans at 250 points and Brass overlords at 350, but, honestly, those just get ridiculous... I'm not sure how you'd even USE the 50 Destiny Points the Brass Overlord gets, I think you'd literally have to take EVERY UPGRADE POSSIBLE!?) 

This was a finecast model and it was awful to work with... there were so many channels carved into the mould to get resin into the right parts that it completely obliterated some details and others I may or may not have entirely carved off accidentally and then because there were so many bumps and bolts and spikes that it was sometimes hard to figure out which were actual intentional details of the model or blobby extra bits because of flaws in the mold and some of those I left and didn't realize what it was until painting and then had to carve it off (and a bunch of paint with it) so I was repainting bits and it all got very frustrating and... I'm just done with it... however it looks.. I'm just not doing any more... I can see why this was discontinued. I'm a little surprised it wasn't replaced this year along with the release of the Codex... I mean, theWorld Eaters have a pretty rad model (that can alternatively be built as a Lord Invocatus). How hard would that have been to modify and make a fantasy version!?

I do still have a few things I could paint up for the Blades of Khorne - the 5 Skullreapers, 10 Blood Warriors, and 30 Bloodreavers - but I'm well over 2000 points worth of stuff. I'm probably good for any game I'm likely to get up to any time soon... unless... naratively... I NEED 40 Bloodreavers (maybe for the Soulbound campaign?) or something... (oh, and I have spare a Bloodsecrator and a Bloodstoker... not sure what I'll ever do with those...?) 

Next!? Seriously... the Skullreapers... then the stuff I need for Night Wars (three fellbats and Radukar the Beast - and attendants) 

After that, probably still the Stormcast Eternal Vigilant Brotherhood Spearhead  army... likely, followed by either the Soulblight Gravelord Bloodcrave Hunt Spearhead army or the new Nighthaunt Cursed Shacklehorde Spearhead army... 

(or maybe some plaguebearers...? for... REASONS!?)

Dominion of Sigmar: Timeworn Ruins

I finished up the first batch of the Dominion of Sigmar: Timeworn Ruins that I picked up last week.

Dominion of Sigmar: Timeworn Ruins

These eight bits are all the bits that DIDN'T require any sort of assembly (less one of said pieces that I used on Radukar the Beast's base!). 

There are three or four more bits that need assembling... Hopefully I will get to assembling them along with the Skull Altar and Judgements of Khorne. 

These turned out to be a bit bigger than I'd expected them to be, which is nice!

They fit in nicely with the other Age of Sigmar terrain I painted - from the Skaventide box and really "pop" on the reddish matt I'll be using for most battles on the Ravaged Coast of Aqshy!

They're big enough they might actually provide some COVER for units that hide behind them! Should they encounter an opponent with ranged attacks... I'm kind of surprised how many armies just DON'T have ANY ranged attacks!?
