Painting industrial bases

Introduction

After the proof-of-concept bases were complete, I decided to take the silvery route - with a few enhancements.

Storm King's part 18 - We love side quest even more...

“All good things start with a break”, that’s what a lazy man said once.

So before we go into another adventure we decide to get a good night's sleep and visit the Hunter the next day. At least this was the plan, but before the sleep the party seems to have different plans regarding the next day. Groin is going to the Harpers and request a special meeting, in the same time Samael goes to the Zentharim to have his own special meeting. This is how the party starts to split even before the story starts.[1]

Storm King's part 17 - What quest to do next???

While the party discusses what the next step will be, in the streets of Mirabar of course, a strange figure approaches the party. This new guy has a message delivered for Ren that he should report to the Zentharim council immediately. This is the time we meet Samael who will replace Ren[1] in the party. (This is the second time the player changed his character so don’t be surprised if another character will take the place of Samael in the future). It seems that “S named characters” are taking over the party.

Painting dirty cloth (proof of concept)

Introduction

The point of this proof of concept is to see how viable it is to do a dirty cloth paint scheme that I came up with.

Painting industrial bases (proof of concept)

Introduction

I intend to have these cool looking industrial bases for a future painting project. I had two paint schemes in mind, and I tried them out before committing to either.

Chaos vs Grey Knights/Custodes, 12.03.2019

The local Warhammer 40k community kickstarted a league of sorts. The rules are: play everybody using the ETC ruleset. This game kicks off my participation in this league.

Converting Blood Pact heretic militia

Introduction

In preparation for the following painting competition (painting a squad), I decided to convert up some Blood Pact heretic militia. I am a great fan of the Gaunt's Ghosts series, and I had previously bought a guardsmen kit just for this purpose.

M.A.G.U.S. - Assassins in the night

The adventurers consolidated their story - which wasn't all that much to go on - then decided to plow on forward.

M.A.G.U.S. - Socializing

For a change, the adventurers try their hand at socialite behavior.

Path to Glory: Trial of Champions, 05.03.2019

Introduction

Virulax coughed as he flailed around. He felt something solid strike his arms, and he grabbed on. He was overwhelmed by the sense of vertigo as the giant spoon lifted him out of the muck. He hang on, and waited for the flick of the spoon to deposit him onto solid ground. But it never came. Virulax opened his eyes, licking the slime off his eyelids first. He was hanging by his fingers above an ocean-sized pus-filled cauldron. And he was looking directly into the eyes of his Grandfather.

'Virulax, Virulax, my wayward child' - rumbled a distant thunder. The voice was not unkind, but it showed a measure of disapproval. 'It is twice now in as many days that I must lift you out of my cauldron again.'

'Grandfather!' - sputtered Virulax, spitting and gurgling to clear his throat. 'Give me more troops! I shall prove worthy of your approval once more!'

A giant red eye closed in the distance. Wind blew - tired exhaling.

'Very well. You will get your chance. Take the Drones of the Plague. They shall serve you well.'

Chaos Daemons vs Salamanders/Imperium, 01.03.2019

I haven't played regular matched play 40k since November. The occasion arose when my last opponent asked for a rematch - I just couldn't refuse. We tried something new by playing an Eternal War mission from Chapter Approved 2018.
