Weekly Update #20

Huzzah the 20 Mark! Lets go!

First is Guardian #2

He has a slightly taller backpack spire than the last one but is otherwise nearly identical.

Lots of gemstones on that back spire.

Then the Wraithlord. This guy was fun and I ended up just spending most of Sunday painting him.

The Gemstones... soooo many gemstones. How were these models painted before the gemstone paints?

More Gemstones, Khaine save us (Khaine never saves anyone)

Also first time using a transfer since I was like 12. Came out alright but I think I need the gloss varnish to avoid any bubbles in the future and the matte varnish to blend it with the model better.

First Wraithguard! Technically got 9 more of these (well 4 more 'guard' and 5 'blades' the melee variant)

Honestly some of my favorite looking models. Would build an army of nothing but Wraith Units if it were viable and their range was more than 8-12"

More Gemstones, because of course more Gemstones.

Pew pew!

Tempestus Scion #2 of the Morrighan Lowborn (regiment number pending)

First attempt at a new plasma coil style, Could definitely use some work.

First Space Marine painted since I was like 11 or 12. A chapter I'm calling "The Grim".

They hail from a moon orbiting Morrighan (where they take their recruits) and are a very low population Space Wolf Successor Chapter. I'm self-imposing a 500 point limit on the Grim for any game I play with them. Effectively they can only be an allied detachment due to their numbers.

Bleeps! Somethings incoming!

Its a gnome! First D&D mini in a while, wanna get back on this as well since D&D mini's are a fun change of pace to the uniformed look of other models. This is Lini the Pathfinder Iconic Druid

She collects sticks in her lore.

2nd Stormcast painted. Color scheme has changed a bit. The Sybarite green has been lost in favor of a dark grey accent color (more neutral) and the base has gone from bone to weathered stone. I redid those colors on the previous stormcast as well and I think they look a lot better.

I bought the "Paladin" helms from Puppetswar.eu I think they look much better if a tiny bit sci-fi in nature.

Overall I'm digging their theme and if the game is fun I'm thinking SCE will be my 'good' army (or at least my first good army since I like Daughters of Khaine and Dwarves as well) for Age of Sigmar

Its here! The Acolyte Hybrid Iconward. I mimic'd a style I saw on Reddit featuring coconut crab tyranids so thats what this guy is. Along with a lothern blue banner. The colors for future cultists might change slightly as I order the new contrast paints and see how they fair doing this style of scheme.

I do really like how he came out. I need to get some texture paint for his base since I want them to be from an arid desert world.
 

Finally I painted up Fire Warrior #10. I also changed the numbering of the squads so that I have two squads of 5 instead of 1 squad of 10. This guy is the last member of squad 1, making both squads 1 & 2 fully playable. (I plan to continue making MSU squads as I paint then once I hit the maximum number of those squads, usually 3 or 6 I will expand the squads to larger numbers)

We had some pretty major height variation. Sorry for the dark colors but you can see their silhouettes pretty good and how tall each model is compared to the others. From left to right: Gnome, Acolyte Hybrid, Tempestus Scion, Fire Warrior, Guardian, Space Marine, Stormcast, Wraithguard and in the back the Wraithlord.
