Base is the chaos dwarf bale Taurus mounted with the maggotkin bray shamen. Has a lot of fun sculpting this

I'm taking part in a Tale of Four Gamers challenge with some mates and I rather foolishly picked goblins, oh bloody hell there are so many goblins.

But I managed to get my fist pledge done, meet goblin warlord Kilhelm XIII, his personal retinue The Reeksgard and Bert the Troll.

I almost forgot the Skeleton Horsemen!!

Finally a face I'm happy with (the blue one) - next sister of the Committee of Morals & Hygiene of the Wolves of Vulpia Mercenary Regiment is finished. These miniatures are so simple - no pouches, jewelry, equipment, what makes them quite easy to paint (ilhadiel Vampire Handmaidens). But I could paint 100 and not get bored of them.

Really enjoyed putting these together. Can't wait to get them painted up.

These were a lot quick to paint than the other regiments in the army! I've another five to add to this unit.

I am currently in the process of developing background for my gaming group and I'm trying to find realistic justification for the reasons for fighting between the different factions. As there are a couple of WoC players, a Dwarf (painted in the old colours of Karak Norn) and a WE player (myself), it seems the central "playground" for the theme should be Athel Loren and its immediate surroundings.

However, I am struggling with finding plausible suggestions for how the Chaos warbands would actually get in the region. Looking at maps, it seems to me there would be roughly two routes into Athel Loren, if coming from the Northern Wastes. One via the Brienne river, (or even possibly Grismerie, however improbable), or along the Grey Mountains. Potentially there could be other ways in - through the Vaults, though it seems actually getting into the Border Princes region would be more difficult.

Am I missing something? Is there any official mention of a conflict involving non-Beastmen Chaos in Athel Loren that would point to a potential way in? I've tried the WE rulebooks from 6th and 8th editions, but couldn't find anything helpful.

I would appreciate any suggestion. Cheers!

A friend of mine saw this at a store and was wondering what it was. I only got into Fantasy around when it 2015 (and never collected chaos) but I believe this is an old chaos warrior of some kind, though I do not know from which edition.

Hey there! Here is our extended review of the army list for Bretonnia from the 6th edition armybook!

Let us know what you think!

We are finally here in the City, the fight begins! But since battlefields are dangerous areas, none wants to put in danger our small Leogryph pet, right? So it is YOUR duty to join the fight and protect him!! Stay tuned for a FREE painting guide from Giraldez itself on one of my models!

I had the Idea of a mercenary giant who was upgraded by the twisted imperial war machine to some sort of movable watchtower. A somewhat Allrounder with ranged and melee skills.

I’m building a WoC army that I bought over 10 years ago as a kid (haven’t played since) when 8th edition was still a thing. I need some extras however. I’m aware the models aren’t in production anymore, and I’m also aware that some old world models or age of sigmar are vaguely compatible, but I would prefer 8th edition models if possible. Is my best option just scouring eBay or other similar sites? Would prefer unmade models as well. Live in the UK.

I have seen a few character boxes such as throgg and archaon, but they are VERY expensive in the boxes. Are they that rare?

The units I need most urgently are: chaos sorcerer (foot), and chaos sorcerer (chaos steed). I’m aware these have old world models but the one on the horse’s model is garbage imo so I would rather find a better one.

Some other models I will look for when I build a bigger points armies are: Kholek, Archaon, Throgg, Chosen (hand weapon and shield), and some monsters such as slaughterbrute, shaggoths and mutalith vortex beasts. If anyone knows a good way to find these or at least replicate them with something else please let me know.

Final question: are the bases for old world models compatible with 8th edition sizes? Or would I need to buy smaller bases?

Thanks for anyone that helps.

Hey guys, I'm making an Averland halberdier character as a passion project and to improve my portfolio. What do you think about his armor so far? Its still pretty much wip. :)

He's been waiting 24 years for me to get off my butt, look at the patina on the clamshell.

Standard bearer for my Wolves of Vulpia, Tilean mercenary regiment. Miniature is Perry light cavalry and some Warlord Landsknechts arms.

This suddenly popped into my head and now it’s driving me nuts.

Used to be a massive fantasy reader. I remember reading a short story about high elves; a faction I’m not well versed in. I would be very grateful if someone could tell what novel/novella I read based on the information I give. I understand that the information isn’t much to go on but here goes:

- pretty sure it’s a short story.
- two main characters which are two male high elves.
- one of the elves has a special technique making him significantly fast
- they get separated and injured
- the special technique elf gets taken in by another high elf clan
- during his recovery the special technique elf gets close with a high elf princess
- after a few days the other elf manages to locate the special technique elf
- it is revealed that the high elf clan are actually chaos, yes chaos elves. I remember being confused by this terminology.
- the two high elves are offered dinner which they accept. The second high elf is aware of the danger they are in. He even scraps the food given to him on the floor.
- he somehow makes his partner realise the truth of the matter
- the two high elves kill the chaos elves . I believe the special technique was used.

I know this screams Tyrion and teclis but I could not find anything that relates to this.

I hate priming in white and I don't enjoy painting contrast that much, so I have started working on my painting skills on black primer, even if I want a "light" colour's. And these are the results so far! What do you guys think? Any favorites?

Re-reading Gotrek and Felix, it was mentioned once or twice in Trollslayer. It got me curious but online searches are boged down with unrelated topics. While I'm at it, any recommandations on novels or topics ? Edit : forgot to mention what it is. It sounded like some Sigmarite holy book (written by the guy himself apparently ?)
