Project: Poseidon and fishmen army

Unit: 1st unit of giant crabs

Gaint crabs are strong lethal, not too much intelligent but with enough brains to follow the orders straigh for.

I face the problem that diameter of the base are bigger than 20mm, so do not fit in warmaster bases, so I use the third dimension. Some putty dunes were made to tilt a little bit the figure and to fit with the central base.

Project: Empire crusade army

Unit: 5th knightly order regiment, Knights Panther

The Knights Panther was established following the wars against Araby. The crusaders returned with many great treasures plundered from the palaces of Araby, including exotic animals the like of which had never been seen in the Old World before. When the victorious knights paraded through the cities of The Empire, many did so with the panthers of Araby padding alongside them, led by a golden chain. The Knights traditionally trim their clothes and crests with whatever appropriately exotically patterned fur they can find.

I do like the fish men, and the lobsters and crabs!! Totally bonkers, but in a cool way.

I've just been flicking through the last few pages, and it's good to see that I'm not the only one who flits between projects. There's loads of good stuff, are you adding to existing armies, or building new ones, a few units at a time?

[jchaos79]

Thank you Forbes! I  regularly lurk your paint diary in Pendraken forum, and I like really like your style.

I am a bit chaotic, so I paint by impulses. Something that kills me is paint twice the same unit at a time, so I use to keep all my armies expanding unit after unit. Sometimes when I have a game in my agenda I paint in order to complete the list I made on the paper.

I am very conservationist with the rules so I do not like to change or invent new armies (when I was younger  I did but then I realize that is more difficult than start writting the first think that passes your mind in a paper, then even if it properly design It is needed to be played, because I distrust of the rules playtested only in the mind of very wise people that do not need to take the dice to know what would happend... but I guess my discussion is going out of the topic....

where were we... yep, recently I am not having too much games so to keep my interest high I organize my figures to be painted in Miniprojects of 3 to 6 unit each. And it is working for me, it keeps my interest high! Also I am making an effort of thinking and writting a few lines of each unit I paint. Suprisling this exercise provokes to some kind of chain reaction and new ideas of units pops my mind. Also I think make the painting diary more pleasant for the readers.

Poseidon and fishmen army would fit in the following games:
- In a daemon army, as fomori or fishdaemons. - Use daemon army
- As part of a lizardmen army, or cool blood army (lizards + serpent men + fishmen) - use lizardmen army
- As an army itself against greeks (a kind of mythological game), then maybe I would use the ogre kingdom armylist.. do not know yet.

I am not concerning about the rules, so they would adpat to the specific game or battle I will have rather than setting general rules or armylists. I usually paint for the concept and the joy of painting.

My goal is painitng a unit per week, Last year almost did with 52 painted units. Now with a little children/baby in the house keeping the production is a real challange.

Project: Empire crusade army

Unit: 5th knightly order regiment, Knights Panther

Love these! The blue highlights on the horse barding really stand out - they must look fantastic on the tabletop.

[jchaos79]

Thanks dry_erase, the picture is not a very good one, so in the table looks better.

The base color is Stormy blue from Game Colors, the highlight is Andrea blue of Model color mixed with a little bit of stormy blue.

Continuing the Halloween weekend I just finished two terrorific units

Project: Vampire count and all things that bump in the night

Unit: 1st Pack of werewolves

This pack is a clan of werewolves, they are all related and when the moon raises they feel the change and gather together to go wild.

I would use the stats of the gouls to represent this unit because the werewolves are alive, but probably I buy them a banner or magical item to improve the profile and fit better with the idea of werewolves.




Project: Vampire count and all things that bump in the night

Unit: 1st gathering of tormented souls / ethereal host

When someone pass away full of hate or because a great unjustice they became a powerfull spirit, condemn to roam the night. Other spirits feels the atraction of the powerful entity so it happens a gathering of tormented souls. The leader of this gathering is the Headless rider.
