Painting Syl'Esske

I had this miniature unopened since quite a while, and I opted for a simpler paint scheme to be able to put it on the table along with the Blissbarb Archers and gang.

M.A.G.U.S. - Pre-boss fight

The adventurers camped out for the night behind some camouflage, with some refugees sitting nearby. They kept a lookout, and so they saw the monster patrol creeping up. Obviously, they did nothing to save the refugees, who got slaughtered. One survivor was promptly abandoned, and the adventurers continued on their way downward.

Painting Death Korps of Krieg

10 lasgun-wielding Kriegers for starters. So first let's clear up their story: I bought the lot of them (along with special equipment dudes, to be painted later) assembled, with original arms, and enough 3d printed bodies to use all of the arms in the kit. Which is pretty smart I think. As for the paintscheme, it is based on this absolutely boss video. This chap really leverages Contrast paints, which I love to do as well. I took some liberties here and there, obviously. The miniatures were already mounted on their city bases, fitting well into my existing Imperial Guard.

M.A.G.U.S. - Burning down the monster village

Once again we started in the middle of a battle! The chieftain and its lackeys charged at the adventurers. However, without the element of surprise, they were quickly beaten down.

Painting a commission Titan

The first sizable commission this year, this storm giant/ancient greek god/titan looked like a fun project from the start. Let's see what Contrast paints are capable of at this scale.

Astra Militarum vs Astra Militarum, 02.06.2023

First game in a month after the Warhammer Weekend. Start out small, with 1000 points in a mirror match against the grey guard. Unfortunately, I completely forgot how to play the game and placed no line of sight blockage in the middle of the map. To be honest, the half-sized 1000 points maps always throw me off. 

Grey guard got first turn, and it was as devastating as expected.

Contrast commission kobolds

 Just a bunch of kobolds with some special characters. Same idea as with the goblins.

Contrast commission goblins

Just a bunch of goblins with some special characters. I decided to go a bit further with these than last year's townsfolk.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: A deal with the dark elves

The adventurers quickly ripped the wand out of the skeleton's hands, and tolerated its weak punches for a while. Then it punched Groin in the face, at which point the cleric bashed it apart. That about wrapped up the intro, and the party could  carry on exploring the dungeon, while searching for the scorpion monster.

Painting Accursed Cultists

The final piece of my 2000 points Word Bearers army list to be painted.
