Tale of Warmaster Painters [December]

[Swordmaster]

Gretings!

Thanks for nice comments!

Yes, Teclis comes from Storm of Chaos blister. I simply got it as a gift, as the blister was divided between various players anyway.

I was indeed looking for round base for Teclis but couldn't find anything suitable and then got unpatient a little. Teclis himself, however, stands on a top of two coins.

Cheers!

Fantastic stuff Swordmaster. The mini-Teclis looks particularly nice.

Im afraid my painting is officially on-hold for now. With a house move in the next two weeks I've packed my painting toys away. Should be in the new house by Christmas with its dedicated gaming room so hopefully things will pick up again in the new year. For now I'll just have to watch with envy as the rest of you soldier on. Keep up the good work  .

Ah the house move, it is familiar to me, as is the promise of a 'gaming room'. I've only in the last year really been able to even put a decent desk and shelves in my 'games room', and then of course found out that with said shelves (still aren't enough), fouton so that it can double up as a spare bedroom and desk, there isn't really any room for an actual games table... So, rather than wait the 5-10 years until I can afford to build 'the mother of all sheds' in the back garden so that I can get some games in, I've actively looked for a games club venue, and lo it has worked....


I also suspect that you'll be putting up shelves until at least Easter, never mind repainting walls, calling out a decorator when you realise that hanging expensive wallpaper yourself is actually a really, really bad idea and so on...

That games room had better come true! I'm sure you're right about the decorating though, I'll probably have the room and no time to go into it...

Great to see some new blood in the tale.
The proposed lists are very interesing, especially the cthulhu based one.
My other obsession after WM is Arkham Horror the board games so I am looking forward to seeing the results.
I will be making a new pledge in January for my next set of models but at the minute spending all my time and money on board games (and bigger tables to play them on).

When I did my mortal chaos army I decided I need an alt for my hero on chaos dragon(before I got into Cthulhu), so I did this.


Only later did someone point out the similarity.
Did the sleeper influence my hand

great Azrael!, this kind of creature is like "the thing that should not be"
Is not death dead which eternal lie, stranger eons even death may die 

I have a really cool vermin/maggot-model in the mood of Chtulhu horror, that I will like to use to my Chaos army or to "Fomori" list (one not finish but being created by me) to represent Crom-Cuach.

I should paint it. I am glad to see forbiding monstruosities, and eager to see more!!

That looks pretty cool Azrael!  It got me thinking about doing another demon that is just a huge hand reaching through a portal.  The Reacher from Beyond

I've been mulling over the idea of rats or bats for swarms.  I like the idea of making worm swarms though.  I'm just not sure that I can portray worms devouring people in 10 mm.  So maybe it will be rats devouring people.

For demon hordes, I am thinking about taking chaos marauders and replacing the head with a single tentacle.  I will have to try the conversion to see if I like it.

Thanks for being supportive guys.  I was concerned that the Cthulu theme for Warmaster might not be well received.

[azrael71]

Have you seen the swarms in my daemon list?
Do they fit the bill?

[Carrington]

Steve Jackson Ogre/Cthulu 6mms might not be at all bad for Demon Swarms.

[BlackEd]

Azrael, I haven't seen your deamon army.  Where is it?  I'd love to see what they look like!

Carrignton, I'll check on those miniatures,  Thanks for the idea!

The figs are somewhat large for Epic -- probably Ogryn-sized.   Which means they are slightly small and reedy for WM: probably taller than GW WM dwarves, but a good deal thinner.

Greetings!

It's time for the last update before Christmas. I managed to finish the last regiment of Silver Helms and one more mage. Here we go:

1. Silver Helms



2. Mage



As you see still the same, boring style. I decided to take a quick photo of all the units I have painted so far, so here is some kind of a bonus photo:



I really like the fact I have much more painted units now. I still have 2 units of reavers, to units of eagles and a hero on dragon to paint in my 2000 army. As soon as I have them painted I will take a nicer photo of the enitre army.

Merry Christmas to everybody!

Looks awesome Swordmaster!  I love those Phoenix Guard!
