After a very long time, during which I suffered from painting fatigue and got distracted by other projects, I have recently started again painting, and yesterday night I finally completed my PG unit. You can see it here in all its glory, I very much doubt I'll ever field all the models. But It's nic...

Yes, you got it!

It is easier now that the forum software has been changed. No need to enter html code to link from external sites, the website can host images.
I think it's just a matter of choosing the full editor, and then add a file from the Attachments tab.

It's great when people come up with ingenious ideas and skillful conversions!
Would love to see your creation.

The star lance is already great for the cost with +3S and no armour saves allowed. It gets even better though. It's written in such a way that it allows you to switch to a different weapon on a turn you don't charge. So you can bring the Star Lance and a Great Weapon, and get the +3S and ASF on the...

Since you are talking of metal models missing halberds I assume you are talking about the 6th edition ones. The best looking version in my opinion. I have made mine from original parts, with a blue sfuff mould and a cast in a mix of milliput and green stuff. OK result, passable at a distance but not...

I would have loved to paint these two models, but I managed to sell them unpainted for a very nice price, so I won't complain.
Yours are very nice, they should look good on the battlefield.

I've never looked much into WAP and 9th Edition, maybe I should.
From what I can see it seems very close to 8th Edition in term of rules - but how much, can anyone tell?
Also, how widely played is it?
Who writes the new army books?
Both facts and opinions welcome

Very nice!
The champion in the corner looks like a tough cookie.

I don't have a problem with the title. It broadcasts clearly when the series is set and what it is about. Instead of a very generic remote time setting, they have chosen a turning point that has massive repercussions in history, which therefore has great dramatic potential, while leaving a lot of cr...

Really nice!
Both the quality of the painting and the miniatures, you don't need the models to be "modern" for them to look good.
There are plenty of vintage ones that are not just characterful, but definitely great.

Very beautifully painted, as usual, but I've never managed to like the models, apart perhaps the handmaiden.
The others to me are ugly sculpts, including Alarielle.

I hope COVID has not hit you bad and that you are recovering without long term effects.

Flipping heck, what an impressive piece!
It does help that it is a rare and gorgeous model, but it takes some good painting to make it shine.
Well done!

Are you going to start another thread for your nascent CD army?
It would be fascinating for me to see some of these exotic models.
Also some pictures of the arcane Magnum Opus would be interesting.
Looking forward to the development of this thread into something bigger!

Thanks Rod.
I just made the unit this big because I could (the freedom of printing your own stuff!) but I doubt I'll have the points in my army to use all the models.

Quite a bit of progress lately. Perhaps it does not show well, and picture quality is crap (used the phone not a proper camera), but the unit is starting to look the way I want it to. Now I have to clean it up and work on the details, will certainly be time consuming. The cloaks are more desaturated...

I think the master move that turned the battle was positioning there those Reavers.
It totally bottled up the Empire's maneuver.

Your painting style is really clean and effective

I read Seredain's battle reports and I think "Watch and learn..."
So wha'ts happening next?

When I got my DP's fortunately they cam pre-assembled. Regarding the priming, perhaps now is the time to invest in an airbrush? For approximately $90/£90 you can get a good compressor with tank that will last forever and a basic double action airbrush that is perfectly adequate for priming and highl...

Thanks SA! A couple of days ago a bought a job lot of White Lions and Sisters of Avelorn on eBay. Today my purchase arrived and it turns out it is even sweeter than I expected. Deals like this don't happen often. 13 5th Ed WL's, 40 6th Ed WL's, 16 8th Ed WL's and 14 Sisters of Avelorn at a very good...

OK I finally cracked and bought a shedload of White Lions on eBay. Don't know why they are so expensive compared to other HE elite infantry. Also got several Sisters of Avelorn. Anyhow I will have more than I can paint, so hopefully I'll make some of the money back as I sell the excess. But first, t...

An this is my first image of my next project, still in very early stage: Phoenix Guard

I have a soft spot in my heart for Orcs and Goblins, and if weren't a lazy sack, I'd love to start an army for them. I'll just live vicariously through your glorious paint jobs here though. That's a great spider, and love your terrain/basing work. You are way too kind about my painting skills, what...

hey guys. Long hiatus but im back with strength after 4 long months unable to grab a brush, i kept looking at those ugly handmaiden models for days and days until i had an epiphany and grabbed a different, and more appealing, model. If a model turns you off, drop it. It's for fun, not work. Those h...

Thanks!
I decided to go for something bright, although initially I was not so sure yellow would be a good idea

Congratulations even though I have no idea of how AoS works.
Seeing how you have crushed almost all foes, I would not want to play you!

Please tell me your opponent was Irish.

Next up is the Phoenix Guard!

Thanks!
The spider is from Reaper, the rider is an Oldhammer model.

It looks horribly great tho

Sorry, I really like spider miniatures.
Sooner or later I'll get a unit of spiders, although they won't be as exciting.
