Shadespire: Core Set Painted

Bit of a delay on these as the shop i ordered it from closed for a week to go on holiday when Shadespire was released doh!

Still, i got both the Stormcast and Khorne warbands painted up yesterday:

Garrek's Reavers

Steelheart's Champions

For the Bloodreavers i decided to tie them in to my existing Khorne army for AoS nice and simple, but the Stormcast i wanted to do a little different! I settled on the Sons of Horus scheme from the Warhammer TV tutorial with a rakarth flesh drybrush rather than dawnstone edging to warm them up a bit and also the bases have a lot of grey already.

I hope to have my Ironskull's Boyz and the Sepulchral Guard this week... that order too was messed up with the shop holiday!

Age of Sigmar: Khorgorath

Behold! The third Khorgorath in my collection is now complete:

This guy completes the force i was planning to take to the Essex Fury event, but now there is a possibility that a mate of mine might be using the Khorne... i've started another force, can i paint it all in two weeks! We shall see haha, updates to follow!

Age of Sigmar: Bloodletters

Well August was a bit of a shitter for painting with work and holidays! Lets hope September is a big improvement... starting with these bad boys to give me a complete 30 strong unit of Khorne's footmen:

I have a third Khorgorath and 20 more Bloodreavers still my Bloodbound are complete... till i get Valkia and Skarr Bloodwrath of a mate that is hehe

Age of Sigmar: Khorne is back!

And im back to painting some moar Khorne for a tourney on the 16th! First up is a new general model in this Lord on Juggernaut:

On the paint station about half done are 20 Bloodletters to add to my existing 10 man unit... proper sized to be effective on the board at last!

Age of Sigmar: Sayl the Faithless & Nightmaw

I feel a little dirty painting up these two... Sayl is a staple of many chaos tourney lists for his amazing spell that can fling a unit up the board very fast.

Ordinarily he wouldn't fit in my Blades of Khorne lists as he would break allegiance, but with the new allies system coming in GHB2 next week i should be able to add a Slaves to Darkness model to my force so figure what the hell, and i have a tourney in a couple of weeks to paint up for hehe:

Once i get my current project done i will be back on the khorne for a bit to get the force changed for this new event :-D

Age of Sigmar: Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage!!!!

Finally finally finally! My Bloodthirster has arrived and is now painted!

This completes my tourney force but is not the end of painting Khorne stuff as my extended workbench will attest haha

Also, with 8th edition 40k looking amazing and me having a usable force already with all my Daemons, it would be rude not to give it a whirl... only need some world eaters to go with it, and a fewDaemon Engines, and a few....

Age of Sigmar: Last Skullcannon i promise!

Yep the third one of these bad boys is now finished:

I used my tourney list with a proxied Bloodthirster for the first time this week against a Tzeentch force and it was brutal, the skull cannons really brought the pain down all game haha

Age of Sigmar: Moar Bloodcrushers

Three more Bloodcrushers completed, just in time for a test game tonight!

Age of Sigmar: Skullcannon

Finished off my second Skullcannon!

Closing in on the end of what i need for my tournies; Bloodthirster, three Bloodcrushers and a third Skullcannon hehe, but with 8th ed 40k coming up i have another 20 Bloodletters waiting to go aswell!

Age of Sigmar: Bloodcrushers

Its been a long week! Only just got this unit of cavalry completed today having started them on tuesday:

To be fair tho, i've spent a lot of my time looking up all the new 40k 8th edition stuff... looks so go! A more detailed version of Age of Sigmar and i cant wait to get back in haha

Age of Sigmar: Skull Cannon and Herald

First of several planned Skull Cannons for my growing legion, and a Bloodmaster Herald that comes with the kit but only gets used in the Blood Throne version.

Skull Cannons are normally a bit crap, but there are two battalions that really help them out, and im building towards one of those hehe.... Shooting in the hero phase is a really good buff!

Age of Sigmar: Moar Bloodreavers!

My second 10 man unit of Bloodreavers are now complete:

I reversed the trousers and helmet colouring on these so they wont get mixed up on the board,,, still loads more Khorne to go!

Age of Sigmar: Khorne Bloodreavers

My first unit of 10 Bloodreavers are now complete:

These are the chaff of Khornes forces, 70pts for 10 models is a bargain for what they can do! They are more effective in bigger units of 20/30, but these minimum sized units are great for filling out the battleline slots and provide a cheap source of blood tithe when they die haha, and die they will!

Age of Sigmar: Bloodletters!

First ten of an eventual thirty man unit are now done:

With that i have a 1000pt usuable force of Khorne so its time to put them to one side and get a couple of commissions done!

Age of Sigmar: Mighty Skullcrushers

Taken most of the week to get these done, work has not been kind to painting this week!

Next up on this project will be some Bloodletters then i have to take a short break to finish s few commissions off.

Age of Sigmar: Slaughter Priest & Khorgorath

I lied, my next unit is still wip but i have finished off a third Slaughter Priest that my friend gave me and also my second Khorgorath:

The Priest above is just a couple of small conversions on the very first one i painted, he looks different enough for me so im happy> I like how this dark Khorgorath scheme has come out, no mixing up units on the board now haha.

Age of Sigmar: Finishing of the Khorne Heroes

These two are the last of my Khorne Bloodbound Heroes (I have a few Daemon ones), there are a few other direct only variants on the Deathbringers but im in no rush for them at the moment:

Mighty Lord of Khorne

Slaughter Priest 2

The Mighty Lord is a solid beatstick character with a good command ability to speed up multiple units, and he can potentially one shot any model in the game with his axe of khorne being able to send a wounded model into the Realm of Chaos on a 5+ haha

This Slaughter Priest has a different weapon from my other one but is otherwise no different. I need at least two priests to run the Gore Pilgrims formation that will form the core of my force.

Its on now to either the Skullcrushers or a Korgorath next...

Age of Sigmar: Moar Khorne Heroes!

Blood for the Blood God and all that!


Two more of the multitude of Khornate heroes are now completed:

Skullgrinder

Exalted Deathbringer

These two wont see as much table time as the other heroes as in the Skullgrinder's case, his buffs are harder to apply as he has to kill someone personally to provide bonuses to your force.

The Exalted is kind of a super solo in that he wants to be closeish to your general so he gains bonus attacks, but then in the mix killing people. He doesnt really provide much to the force outside of being a beatstick tho... but, put the mark of the destroyer on him and he can go windmilling through units for days haha. 

Age of Sigmar: Khorne Heroes

Two more Khorne Heroes completed today, i've added an Aspiring Deathbringer and a Bloodsecrator to my growing force:

The Aspiring Deathbringer (Top Photo) is a great buffing character with an awesome command ability of +1 attack to Khorne Mortal units within 3 inches of him... previously he would have to be your general to use it but now he can stay safe and that ability be activated through one Blood Tithe point hehe.

The Bloodsecrator is a key buff hero from the sigmar starter box, that big banner creates an aura of 18 inches around him that grants an extra attack to Khorne units within range, making him a staple of most lists!

Age of Sigmar: Khorgorath

Next up for me is a Khorgorath from the starter box:

These received a major boost in the new book with those claws now doing two damage rather than one! They also went up in points from 80 to 100, but having twice the melee output as before its quite acceptable haha.

I have another one on route from ebay, and possibly gonna pick up a couple more from a mate so will need to try out some variant schemes to separate the units of them.
