Ulthuan

Greetings fellow Asur, what a year 2020 was and what 2021 continues to be. My house was flooded on christmas eve and after a month we've finally managed to find some temporary accommodation. Thankfully managed to get our possessions upstairs at the time but we are currently dealing with an incredibl...

Hey, great to see a new blog on here! I love that forest Green you have, it's a great colour scheme. Your faces look really well done too.

I actually like the idea of perhaps chaos being more of cultists at the heart of the empire rather than a threat from the northern wastes.

Perhaps they'll be updating the lore slightly to fit with the new outposts we have situated in the old world.

The female vampire is a much better model than the weird bat hair one.

The archerroos??? Why?

It's nice to see a hint of Asur in there (and is that Ulthuan on the edge of the map?). I was about to say yes, but actually I think that might be the corner of Albion, now that would be something.. I think they might test the waters with a box game to see how it does, but GW know they have a marke...

Hey I saw you post this up on Reddit earlier, great work! I love that pinkish hue to the stone, gives it that faintly ethereal quality and matches with your army colour scheme nicely!

Yep, 100% it's the right move setting it further in the past. Gives them a huge scope, plus if the empire is at war with itself then you don't need as many model ranges to start with because multiple armies can be empire. I suspect our dear expeditionary armies will be limited at the start, but I'm ...

Lovely work! Really like the little details! It's a cool model and your paint job really does it justice.

Merry Christmas everyone I hope everyone got something nice! Hopefully 2021 will be a little less horrifying!

Good news everyone!! We've got more delicious treats and it has Bretonnians and the mighty Asur! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/12/28/the-old-world-your-first-look-at-the-map-of-bretonnia/ Also a lot of key information : namely it's set a few hundred years in the past during the war of the...

I still think they look great, I agree with your second issue as I have often had that problem, I need to work out in advance the areas I want to shade. The bone colour goes great with red though, reminds me I really need to start painting my archers!

This year has been terrible for me for painting, new job and moved to a new place and everything is very chaotic. Still you're doing a grand job if you can still churn things out!

Looks great! I've always wanted to pick up some of the later edition models that I missed while I was out of the hobby. I actually really like the dragon and phoenix models.

Love your paint scheme so far, can't wait to see more.

All the best, let us know how it goes Shannar.

Hey thanks guys! I'm really happy with them. It's just a little project and I'm hoping it will give me the kick up the bum to get back to my elves.

So I was having a quick look back through this plog and good grief it's been a while. I have been horribly busy with work and worse still, painting some adeptus mechanicus! https://preview.redd.it/9hge0k3zeyl51.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=899c9734418aa4ccdacf35b267f3fb5f03e82033...

Hey welcome! Your army sounds awesome, can't wait to see your stuff! I think the thing that bugs me the most is that they don't sell the old range anymore. Like they could have still gone find no more old world, I'd be a bit miffed but I would at least be able to buy some new in box models. It means...

Nice work! The cloaks look really smart. Those are definitely the best Phoenix Guard minis in my mind

Two awesome armies, well done on the win. All the best man, I hope fortune keeps smiling for you.

Yeah unfortunately lotr is 28mm but Fantasy is/was 28mm heroic which makes everything just a bit larger and they don't quite match up.

Nice! That should look incredible when it's done. I briefly toyed with that idea myself when I started repainting my army but it just seemed a little daunting. Good luck!

I am loving everything about these wamphyri! The scheme looks excellent and your painting is just superb. Seeing those models makes me actually want to buy some, how do they match up to older models? I take it they are huge!

Great to see a full army shot (reminds me I need to do the same on the future).

Although it would be a total pain you could delve further into the marine scheme and change the bases to more of a sea theme?

Nice work! As others have said your colour scheme is nice and clean and your gold looks great. I also really like your movement trays, very slick!

I think they look great! Really like your scale armour and the white plate. The swords look excellent too and to me I think your balance of red and black is spot on. I'd consider something of more contrast for the helmet plumes just to break the model up a touch.

Lovely work on the various magic users! I really like those Arachnarok models, real beasts! I think the only response is to burn it with fire.

Welcome welcome! As the others have said your gryphon looks great! I also really like that warm gold on your phoenix guard. Hope to see more of your stuff painted up soon!

That's not chickening out, I think the freehand looks great! They look really good all ranked up!

Out of interest, do you guys think the WL would look better with the yellow plume that I have used with the swordmasters which would be a lot brighter as opposed to the current red?
