From Millsy: More Age of Sigmar Kruleboyz (75 points)

G'day All,

Back to the Kruleboyz again this week. More yellow shields. Yay.

A boss and his buzzard

This post is composed of limited edition special character Haggok the Gutrippa Boss, another 10 x Gutrippaz with various weapons and finally Daggok's Stab-Ladz, a warband from Warhammer Underworlds. I've somehow managed to mix the minis in together unfortunately but it is what it is. At least they're painted!

Thankfully I am nearly done with the Kruleboyz as I've picked a pretty time consuming palette and it's taking a lot long than planned for each batch but the results are worth it. Just 12 more infantry and a monster left to paint now.

15 x 28mm infantry = 75 points

Thanks for looking!

Ok, Depeche Mode and New Order I know and love from my punky/goth girl years ... but I do not know Dodie. Discovering new music is always a joy so I will be investigating! Thx

I'm not sure what these  Kruleboyz figures are ... other than frighteningly well painted! I can see how intricate the minis are and your paint job/colour choices are super. The shields are terrifying!

75 more points for you

Well Done!

From Millsy: Kruleboyz Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof (45 points)

G'day All,

Phew! 11 hours and some change to paint one bloke and his dog. Seems excessive when you say it like that but once you see the thing it starts to make some sense...

This is the final unit required to complete my age of Sigmar Kruleboyz Spearhead and very pleased I am indeed to have him painted and based. Fiendishly detailed and chock full of hard to reach nooks and crannies, he really tested my patience, brush technique and desire to have him painted to a matching (or higher) standard than his minions.

Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking in this instance. Enjoy!

Points-wise this is a hard one. I've gone with the "it is what it is" option as a single mounted 40mm figure and will let Sarah decide if it merits anything beyond that...

• 1 x 40mm cavalry = 15 points
• 1 x Third Circle: Gluttony (as in I am one for punishment!) = 20 points

Total = 35 points

In full disclosure, I absolutely despise 'Age of Sigmar', but I absolutely love this. 

Beautiful work Millsy. In looking at all the detail crammed into this pair I can only imagine the time and patience in doing it justice which you've done in flying colours. I particularly like the barding and armour of the two, especially the bone yelllow sections. Lovely brushwork that.

'Who's a good boy?! Get him a treat, will ya.'  I'm going to use my substitute minion powers expansively and give you another 10 points for this. Excellent work Millsy!

G'day All,

So I couldn't paint any more black without a break. Instead I switched tack and although I am still painting fantasy miniatures I've changed game and faction.

This week I've been painting Orruk Kruleboyz for Age of Sigmar. With the exception of the leader on big beasty this is the Age of Sigmar Spearhead force plus Da Kunnin' Krew for Warhammer Underworlds. I have a bunch more to paint and based on how much I enjoyed these the next batch will be along quick smart...

Killaboss with Stab-grot and Murknob with Belcha-banna

Whoever names these things smokes some great stuff. Whoever sculpts these things is a genius. And whoever designs the sprues and does the instructions should be incarcerated. The two big lads are enormous and top out over 40mm, towering over Grot and their Orruk minions.

Man-skewer Boltboyz

Three chonky Orruks with shootaz ready to skewer some man-things and spit roast them for dinner.

Beast-skewer Killbow

I think the guy who names these things might also be the guy who does the song titles for The Offspring. I might even rename my Killaboss to "Killboy Powerhead". This thing was a bugger to paint even in sub assemblies but it looks the business.

Gutrippaz

I mistyped this as "butrippaz" initially and was tempted to leave it. I have two more units of these, one more with stickaz and one with choppaz.

Da Kunnin' Krew

It's fair to say I've become obsessed with Orruks and am buying up everything there is in the range. Didn't need these for AoS but they will make a great Warcry warband with a couple of Butrippaz Gutrippaz thrown in. Two more 40mm beasts and a bunch of mooks for da sneaky stuff.

Points for the Point God!

• 4 x 40mm infantry = 28 points
• 14 x 28mm Orruk infantry = 70 points
• 1 x 28mm artillery(?) piece = 10 points
• 7 x 28mm Grot infantry = 35 points
• 1 x Fifth Circle: Wrath bonus = 20 points

Total = 163 points

Plus 6 skullz lurking in the swampy reeds and grass.

That's everything for this week. Thanks for looking!

Oh wow!

 I have no idea what exactly I'm looking at but the minis are super cool and the paint job is fab! I'm a big fan of purples&greens so I'm predisposed to like these scary bad boyz and their nasty weaponry.

Congrats on passing through another level of hell ... what will see next?
