Age of Sigmar - Slaves to Darkness - Faction Update

I'd kind of wanted to assemble all the miniatures for all the faction and then take pictures so it would be clear finished/painted versus still-to-do/unpainted, but there was no way I'd be able to assemble ALL of the unassembled miniatures for this faction and be able to post it this month... or maybe even next month... or this QUARTER!? There is a LOT to DO!

This is what I have and what I still need to do for my Slaves to Darkness force as of the beginning of January 2025... 

Painted

These are all the Slaves to Darkness that I have finished! 

Heroes

• Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.

Legends

• Khagra’s Ravagers (4) 170 - Unique, Warriors of Chaos, Infantry

Endless Spells

This could currently be fielded as:

Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment

Total: 1020 points! 

A little heavy on Monsters and Heroes at the moment... but, as it turns out, if I finish off ONE of the Darkoath Fellriders, I'll have a playable force of EXACTLY 1000 points ready for Path to Glory... 

Still to DO!

This is all the Slaves to Darkness I still have to do...

It's a lot... 

Heroes

• Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Daemonic Steed (1) 150 - Any Slaves to Darkness (Anvil of Apotheosis)
• Darkoath Warqueen (1) 120 - 0-1 Oathsworn, 0-1 Monster, Any Darkoath

Units

• Chaos Knights (5)  250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
• Chaos Knights (5)  250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
• Darkoath Marauders (10) 80 -  Darkoath, Infantry

• Corvus Cabal (9) 100 - Infantry

Endless Spells

• The Darkfire Daemonrift
• The Eightfold Doom-Sigil

Quite a LOT to do... I probably don't have to do it ALL right away... 

I have that unit of the Corvus Cabal to do - originally a Warcry warband, they were a unit in Age of Sigmar in 3rd edition, but have been taken out of production and moved into Legends... there are only nine in the box... but I do have the bonus Darkoath Marauder from the Free Miniature of the Month... I thought perhaps I might just spread them out among the Darkoath Marauder units... and call them Marauders...? 

When it's ALL DONE

All the stuff together. Clearly a lot MORE To Do than Done!! 

When I am done, though, I should be able to field...

Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment

• Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord (1)  120 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos
• Ruinous Champion - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion
• Unit - Chaos Knights (5)  250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry

Total: 920

• Unit - Darkoath Marauders (20) 160 -  Darkoath, Infantry

Total: 540

Army Total: 3110!?

Perhaps I went a bit overboard with these... 

Options! I just have a LOT of OPTIONS!!

I can take the Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment and the Darkoath Cavalry Regiment... and that's 1950 points right there! And it's (almost) entirely MOUNTED!! Only the Chaos Sorcerer Lord and Darkoath Wilderfiend won't be mounted... (Unless I'm just playing a Narrative Play game and using the Anvil of Apotheosis Chaos Sorcerer Lord on a Daemonic Mount! which would bring the total to 1970 points!!) 

THE PLAN

The plan IS to work on these and the Soulblight Gravelords for the first part of the year. 

The priorities in this force will be:

1) one unit of five Darkoath Fellriders - so I can have a 1000-point Path to Glory army... going to try and get that ready by the weekend!!

Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment

• Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord (1)  120 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos
• Ruinous Champion - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion

Darkoath Cavalry Regiment

• Hero - Darkoath Chieftain on Warsteed (1) 130 - 0-1 Oathsworn, 0-1 Monster, Any Darkoath - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as an Oathsworn.
• Unit - Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry

Monsterous Regiment

• Hero - Ogroid Myrmidon (1)  150 - Any Ogroid Theridons,Any Monster, Any Daemon - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.
• Unit - Fomoroid Crusher (1) 120 - Monster
• Unit - Mindstealer Sphiranx 1 170 - Monster

Army Total: 1000

B) The Darkoath Warqueen, the Darkoath Savagers, and ten of the Darkoath Marauders - so I can have a Spearhead army to theoretically play with (in case anyone wanted to play Spearhead again!?) 

iii) Get working on ALL THE CHAOS KNIGHTS, and ALL THE DARKOATH FELLRIDERS!!! for that massive all-cavalry horde!! MWA-HA-HA-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa.....! 

STUFF TO GET!? 

Is there really ANYTHING I could still possibly want to get for this force!? 

Um... 

I mean, maybe... at some point... 

For now, I'm totally good! But maybe next year, or after I've gotten all (or at least MOST!) of the stuff I have painted, there are a few things I might consider picking up for fun...

The Centaurian Marshall looks really cool (and fits with the mounted theme of the force!) 

Maybe the Chaos Beasts (Furies and Raptoyrx) they'd be fun for small encounters in the role-playing game or usefull in skirmish games...

There are a few other monsters that look fun; the Mutalith Vortex Beast or Slaughterbrute (same model kit, that can be built different ways!) 

I'm not sure I care at all about Be'lakor, the Dark Master, first of the Daemon Princes... or Archaon, the Everchosen... or even the Varangard (despite the mounted theme to the force!) 

Maybe a Daemon Prince... because that could be used in 40K as well! 

Also, if I could track down a unit of the Unmade (another Warcry warband) I'd love some of those! 

Side Note

I also have this assortment of old metal Chaos figures - in vasious stages of painting/repainting... Some will probably just be used in role-playing games... but I think it would be fun to work some of them into the battle game... 

I could use the Sorcerer as is (or maybe rebase it to 40mm base (the current size for Chaos Sorcerers... but add some other elements because it will look like a tiny figure on a 40mm base all alone!) 

The unit of Disciples of the Red Redemption (which I have pained purple...) I might rebase onto 28mm bases and just call them Darkoath Marauders!? 

OTHER PLAN...!? 

Of course... just after I initially posted this... I got thinking about things and realized there was ANOHER option to finish up a 1000 point force for the Path to Glory campaign!? THIS one makes use of the Anvil of Apotheosis Hero from the Claves to Darkness Battletome!? 

Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment

• Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Daemonic Steed (1) 150 - Any Slaves to Darkness (Anvil of Apotheosis)
• Ruinous Champion - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion
• Unit Chaos Knights (5)  250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry

Total: 560

Monstrous Regiment

• Hero - Ogroid Myrmidon (1)  150 - Any Ogroid Theridons, Any Monster, Any Daemon - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.
• Unit - Fomoroid Crusher (1) 120 - Monster
• Unit - Mindstealer Sphiranx 1 170 - Monster

Total: 440

Army Total: 1000

Advantages... only TWO regiments... not-so-much to paint... I get to use the actual Mounted Chaos Sorcerer Lord!

Disadvantages... not a lot of boots-on-the-ground to hold objectives...? (I guess it's really only four less hooves on the ground, as it removes the Darkoath Chieftan on Warsteed and five Darkoath Fellriders, and replaces them with five Chaos Knights... so one less model...) 

So maybe this week I'll be assembling and painting five Chaos Knights!? (and finishing up the Mounted Chaos Sorcerer Lord!? 

Oh... TECHNICALLY I may have to reorganize that... 

While the Anvil of Apotheosis Sorcerer Lord does say ANY Slaves to Darkness... it does not specify that it can include a Ruinous Champion, like the regular Chaos Sorcerer Lord... so, if someone was being a stickler... I would have to organize it thusly... 

Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment

• Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Daemonic Steed (1) 150 - Any Slaves to Darkness (Anvil of Apotheosis)
• Unit - Chaos Knights (5)  250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
• Unit - Mindstealer Sphiranx 1 170 - Monster

Total: 570

Monstrous Regiment

• Hero - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion
• Ruinous Champion - Ogroid Myrmidon (1)  150 - Any Ogroid Theridons, Any Monster, Any Daemon - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.

Total: 430

Army Total: 1000

Age of Sigmar - Daughters of Khaine - Faction Update

The first Age of Sigmar figures I had were two battle boxes. The first was Deamons of Slaanesh versus Daemons of Khorne. I picked it up because both groups could be used in either Warhammer Age of Sigmar or Warhammer 40,000. Then I picked up a second which had Hedonites of Slaanesh and Daughters of Khaine. Obviously the Hedonites were to expand the small force of Slaanesh Daemons I already had and I thought it would be fun to have a small force of Daughters of Khaine. I liked the look of the models and thought MAYBE it might be something Amanda could be coaxed to try and play...? She does like the kick-ass ladies! 

More recently I bought ANOTHER Battle Box - Arena of Shades - because it included the units I'd need to make a Daughters of Khaine Spearhead army (without having to BUY a spearhead army!) and it added some fun options to the force... should i EVER get any of the painted!? 

This is what I have and what I still need to do as of the beginning of January 2025... 

Painted

This all the Daughters of Khaine I have done... Not a lot...  

(that's a bit embarrassing!) 

Heroes

• Melusai Ironscale 

Units

• none

Legends

• Morgwaeth's Blade-Coven

Not really enough to field any sort of force in Age of Sigmar... Not sure this would even be enough for a warband in Warcry!?

Still to DO!

This is all the Daughters of Khaine I still have to do!

(Ugggghhh... EVERY time I do this... I realize as I'm placing the photos into the post, there's something missing... this time it's the Shadeborn - a Warhammer Underworlds warband...) 

Heroes

• High Gladiatrix (1)

Units

• Blood Sisters (5) 
• Blood Stalkers (5) 
• Khinerai Heartrenders (10) 
• Witch Aelves (metal!) (10)
• Witch Aelves (Plastic!) (10)
• Doomfire Warlocks (5) 

Legends

• The Shadeborn (4)

This force is NOT a huge priority, right now... but I think the first units to be worked on should probably be the Witch Aelves, Blood Stalkers, and Doomfire Warlocks needed to finish up the Spearhead army... and then just work away at finishing up the rest. It's not a LOT!? And maybe if I did I could entice Amanda to try it out... so maybe it SHOULD be more of a priority...!? 

When it's ALL DONE

All the stuff together. 

When I'm done I should be able to field...

could currently be fielded as:

Melusai Ironscale General's Regiment

• Hero - Melusai Ironscale (1) 160 - Any Khinerai, Any Melusai
• Unit - Blood Sisters (5) 140 - Melusai, Infantry
• Unit - Blood Stalkers (5) 140 - Melusai, Infantry
• Unit -  Khinerai Heartrenders (5) 100 - Khinerai, Infantry
• Unit - Khinerai Heartrenders (5) 100 - Khinerai, Infantry

High Gladiatrix's Regiment

• Hero - High Gladiatrix (1) 100 - Any Aelf
• Unit - Witch Aelves with Paired Sciansá (10) 110 - Aelf, Infantry
• Unit - Witch Aelves with Paired Sciansá (10) 110 - Aelf, Infantry
• Unit - Doomfire Warlocks (5)  150 - Aelf, Cavalry

Total: 1110

Huh... That kind of works out to be just enough for a starting Path to Glory army! If I dropped the metal Witch Aelves and just used plastic stuff, I'd have exactly 1000 points! 

I could add in one of the Warhammer Underworlds units... Morgwaeth's Blade-Coven are 120 points and the Shadeborn are 80... They could be the first additions in a Path to Glory campaign. After that, I'd need another Hero to form a third Regiment (or combine the existing units of Heartrenders and add more Melusai or Khinerai to the Melusai Ironscale's Regiment?) 

Still to Get!?

I don't really feel any urge at all to add anything to this force... 

There's a small part of me that would like to pick up Gryselle’s Arenai - just because - but more to try it out as a Warhammer Underworlds unit. 

I think the ONLY way I would ever add anything else to this force was IF Amanda ever got playing this... AND wanted to do something beyond smaller Path to Glory games... As cool as the Daughters of Khaine are, I have TOO MANY OTHER armies I'd also really like to play... and have larger forces and more options already (though lots still need to be painted)!? 

The model of Morathi, the High Oracle of Khaine, the Shadow Queen and Grand Matriarch of the Daughters of Khaine, is pretty cool... but, honestly, I'd rather get a Keeper of Secrets (Greater Daemon of Slaanesh) before I picked up that big beastie... or... ANY of the Greater Daemons of Chaos!? (or another Treelord.. or...). 

Krethusa the Croneseer is also a pretty interesting model... maybe I'd get that before Morathi... (I guess it would depend on which way Amanda wanted to go with the army. 

If anything were to be added, probably a Bloodwrack Shrine/Cauldron of Blood would be the first to be added. It can be built in three different ways and is the ONLY way to get THREE of the Heroes that can be used to lead Regiments in the army (Bloodwrack Medusa, Hag Queen, and Slaughter Queen!?) and the only way to get an Avatar of Khaine! 

Faction Updates Still to Do!

So that's Faction Updates for Nighthaunts,  Blades of Khorne,  Stormcast Eternals, Soublight Gravelords, and Sylvaneth that I've done so far... I still have Slaves to Darkness and Hedonites of Slaanesh, Skaven, and Disciples of Tzeentch to do... Most of those have a LOT of stuff still on the sprue, that I'm just not going to get to assembling right away. Do I do updates with piles of sprues in the background...? Do I do a push to get EVERYTHING ASSEMBLED?! (not sure that's going to work out for the Hedonites of Slaanesh Chariots (as I think some parts would be best assembled BEFORE final assembly...) 

Maybe I'll do one or two for 40K forces that I might get to this year...?

Or maybe not... probably best just to STAY FOCUSED and ride the Age of Sigmar wave and avoid distractions!!

Age of Sigmar - Sylvaneth - Faction Update

The Sylvaneth are a relatively new faction, to me. The newest, in fact! Other than the Warhammer Underworlds warbands, I didn't own any until this past fall!

This is what I have and what I still need to do as of the beginning of January 2025... 

Painted

These are all the [faction] I have done. 

Heroes

• Treelord 
• Branchwych 

Units

• Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (3) 
• Spite-Revenants (5)
• Tree-Revenants (5)

Legends

• Ylthari's Guardians (4) 

(there are also three Dryands lurking in the back of a few photos. I've had them for over a decade, back when they were the lastest addition to the Wood Elves of The Old World, which I'd gotten in trade for some of my 15mm Fantasy minitures! I don't have nearly enough for a unit, so, they aren't really mentioned in the plans... but they're there!) 

These can currently be fielded as:

Treelord General's Regiment 

• Hero - Treelord (1) 260 points
• Unit - Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (3) 200 points
• Unit - Spite-Revenants (5) 110 points 
• Unit - Tree-Revenants (5) 110 points

Total: 680

Branchwych's Regiment  

• Hero - Branchwych (1) 120 points 
• Unit - Ylthari's Guardians (4) 140 points 

Total: 260

Army Total: 940

Enough to field as a starting Path to Glory force! 

Still to DO!

This is all the [faction] I still have to do

Units

• Tree-Revenants (5) 
• Spite-Revenants (5)
• Skaeth’s Wild Hunt (5)

Faction Terrain 

• Awakened Wyldwood (3) 

So very few! This is why I'd like to make this a priority this month and FINISH THEM OFF and be DONE with them! (for now...) 

(it's occurred to me that I failed to include Skaeth's Wild Hunt in this and the picktures below... Ah well... the're kind of weird looking and I probably woulnd't ever make use of them anyway...) 

When it's ALL DONE!

All the stuff together. 

When I'm done I should be able to field...

Treelord General's Regiment 

• Hero - Treelord (1) 260 points - Any Sylvaneth
• Unit - Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (3) 200 points - Kurnothi, Infantry
• Unit - Spite-Revenants (10) 220 points -  Infantry
• Unit - Tree-Revenants (10) 220 points - Infantry

Total: 900

Branchwych's Regiment  

• Hero - Branchwych (1) 120 points - Any Infantry
• Unit - Skaeth’s Wild Hunt (5) 90 points - Unique, Infantry
• Unit - Ylthari's Guardians (4) 140 ponts - Unique, Infantry

Total: 350

Army Total: 1250

Also, when all these are done, I would potentially be able to field The Lost-Song Spirits Regiment of Renown - Which can be included in a number of Grand Alliance Death armies (including Nighthaunts and Soulblight Gravelords!) 

The Lost-Song Spirits Regiment of Renown

• Hero - Treelord (1) 260 points
• Unit - Spite-Revenants (5) 110 points 
• Unit - Spite-Revenants (5) 110 points 

Total: 480 points

I think this would be super fun to include in a Soulblight Gravelords army... should I ever be fielding a full-sized 2000 point army!? 

Still to Get!? 

Not going to lie, I'd love to expand this force... at SOME point... 

First I'd like to get the Sylvaneth Endless Spells! 

Someday... I don't know... 

Other Treelords? There are two other types of Treelords 

There are loads of other units, some of which look pretty cool. I could see myself picking some up to assemble and paint... Very likely NOT going to be this year, though... but maybe someday! 

Age of Sigmar - Blades of Khorne - Faction Update

The Blades of Khorne aren't really a priority RIGHT NOW... because I have enough for a Spearhead Army and I have nearly enough for a 1000 point game and I have plenty for any sort of encounter in Soulbound... But I'm doing this to capture where I am at with these at the beginning of 2025. I'm doing these second because they're EASY - most of the stuff is in one place and all of it is assembled!

Total: 3250 points

WAAAAY more than I need... and this doesn't even include EVERYTHING there's a surplus Bloodsecrator and two Bloodstoker's that I just can't even use... I suppose if I wanted to go ALL BLOODBOUND and ditch the two Daemon Regiments, I could use two of them to field regiments... but who would they LEAD?! I guess I could think out some of the other regiments and field all the Blood Reavers as units of 10... 

Anyway... this is where things are at. I'd like to finish up the Khorgorath - because it is so CLOSE to being finished. Same with the Bloodcrushers. At SOME point I'd like to finish up the Mighty Lord of Khorne and a Bloodsecrator - because they're both cool models... and then at some later point finish up all of the Blood Warriors and then the Bloodreavers. 

I think the previous owner must have fielded all the units of Bloodbound (Blood Warriors and Bloodreavers) as there is only one Blood Warrior Standard Bearer and two Bloodreaver Standard Bearers. I'm not sure there's any benefit to fielding larger units... I guess if you wanted to field fewer Regiments...? Which may be reason enough...? 

Stuff to GET!?

Not really anything... 

I guess there is the Judgements of Khorne and the Skull Alter - not units.. the Skull Alter is faction terrain - an alter that a Slaughterpriest can climb up on and it boosts his prayer rolls... The Judgements of Khorne are basically Endless Spells for the army that hates magic! 

Maybe IF I got all this stuff painted, AND I was playing with them regularly enough to warrant buying anything new, I'd get MOAR DAEMONS!!! So I could potentially have complete separate forces of Bloodbound and Daemons! Maybe a Bloodthirster to lead them...? But that's not a this year thing... that's a maybe-at-some-point-in-future-years thing!

Warhammer Underworlds - Faction Update

 I thought I'd kick off the new year by taking stock of things and posting a series of "Faction Updates" detailing armies that I'm currently working on or hoping to work on this year and show what's already done, versus what I still need to finish up. And then instead of a specific army, I decided to start with all the Warhammer Underworlds Warbands of ALL THE FACTIONS!?

At any given moment, you can see what the state of things are by checking out the Gallery Pages. On a desktop computer, they're listed over on the left, there... On a phone, right under the title there's a drop down menu that says "move to" and when you click on it, there is a list of all the gallery pages. At least on MY home computer and MY phone that's how it looks... I honestly have no idea about how it all looks on others?! 

A LOT of the Gallery Pages need updating, and I'll be doing a bit of that this year (maybe...). All the Age of Sigmar ones are kept up to date - as I post pictures of newly painted models on the blog, I update the relevant Gallery Page... 

These posts, however, are meant to give a snapshot of where things are at the beginning of 2025. Where I'm at. What I have to do.

Currently I own fifty-two of the sixty-two warbands that were ever published by Games Workshop! (plus bonus copies of three of them!?) 

Currently, thirty four of them are finished and ready to play with at any moment! (Y'know, if I had the cards for them!?)

Currently Painted Warbands:

1. Steelheart's Champions
2. Sepulchral Guard
3. Ironskull's Boyz
4. Magore's Fiends
5. Stormsire's Cursebreakers
6. Thorns of the Briar Queen
7. The Grymwatch
8. Ironsoul's Condemners
9. Lady Harrow's Mournflight
10. The Wurmspat
11. Hrothgorn's Mantrappers
12. Morgwaeth's Blade Coven
13. Morgok's Krushas
14. The Dread Pageant
15. Khagra's Ravagers
16. Storm of Celestus
17. Drepur’s Wraithcreepers
18. Mollog's Mob
19. Xandire's Truthseekers
20. Da Kunnin' Krew 
21. Thricefold Discord  
22. Grinkrak’s Looncourt 
23. Blackpowder's Buccaneers
24. Cyreni’s Razors
25. Elathain's Soulraid
26. Ephilim’s Pandaemonium

30. Zondra's Gravebreakers
31. Thundrik's Profiteers 
32. Chosen Axes
33. Garrek's Reavers 
34. Ylthari's Guardians

Technically, these are also miniatures I painted for Warhammer Underworlds to use in specific scenarios involving them... 

These are the 20 warbands I still have to do (although, two of them are bonus copies of Steelheart's Champions and Storm of Celestus which I have no intention of using in Warhammer Underworlds and am painting them up as Anvils of Heldenhammer Stormcast to use in Age of Sigmar!) 

A fair number of them are partly painted, and a few are SO VERY CLOSE to being finished... 

Warbands still to finish: 

1. Gorechosen of Dromm
2. Starblood Stalkers
3. Emberwatch 
4. Myari's Purifiers
5. Crimson Court
6. The Gnarlspirit Pack 
7. Headsmen’s Curse 
8. Domitan’s Stormcoven 
9. Skaeth's Wild Hunt
10. Spiteclaw's Swarm
11. Skittershank’s Clawpack
12. Zarbag's Gitz 
13. Brotherhood of the Bolt
14. Shadeborn
15. Hexbane’s Hunters
16. Grashrak's Despoilers
17. The Exiled Dead
18. Zikkit’s Tunnelpack 
19. Steelheart's Champions (extra copy)
20. Storm of Celestus  (extra copy)

If I did one over other week, I'd get them done by the end of the year...?

Just to get a sense of how mush is done and how much there is to do, here are both the finished warbands (on the left) and still to complete warbands on the right!

I'm on my way there! With all the other stuff I want to work on this year... I'm not sure they're ALL going to get done... but I'd really like to finish up as many as I can. Playing the game regularly would help motivate me... Having all the cards would help with that... (Looking at YOU, Games Workshop!!!)
