Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Talk to me...

Rise and shine! Or not really, because we awakened in the dungeon. Which is very much to my liking, feels just like home![1]

Painting a Graveyard Golem

Introduction


The next largest commission work after the bone dragon, which a) looked simple enough to paint but b) gave me some ideas for experimenting: Reaper Bones Graveyard Golem.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

This wonderful display awaited us before the game, mapping our progress. We were delighted to recognize the rooms we passed through, and dismayed at how little we advanced. We got to work at once... haha, just kidding. First, we went back to the room with the statue to investigate.

Maggotkin of Nurgle vs Stormcast Eternals, 2020.03.11

Introduction


Since this was our first time playing each other, we decided to throw a matched play game after the Path to Glory one. Some time had passed since I got the nurglies out for a walk, so I readily agreed.

Wait, let's start again.

Virulax walks into a Sigmarite bar. The bartender asks: What will you... Take and Hold?

Battle round 1


Everyone prepares, casts their spells. A squad of Plaguebearers rushes forward in a flanking maneuver.

Path to Glory: Khorne vs Stormcast, 2020.03.10

Introduction


Soaring high in the air, Arbra'Gax followed the column of smoke to a small barbarian village. There was a gathering of sorts, a group of elders speaking to the populace. The Bloodthirster furled his wings and dove. The humans noticed the whistling of the air far too late, and by the time they lifted their gaze to the sky, Arbra'Gax was already crashing into them, smashing the speakers into bloody pulp. Ponderously, he got to his cloven feet, brandished his weapons, and howled. Most fled; some drew weapons. Arbra'Gax lifted his runesword, channeling his will into it, rising bloodlust spreading into the humans. Those nearest charged with a fierce cry. The Bloodthirster slew them; they were a good offering to Khorne. As the rage spread, the barbarians started hacking at each other. Soon, the village was a pile of corpse-strewn rubble. By the time his warband reached it, Arbra'Gax was already anointing the leaders of his new horde with the lifeblood of their once-friends.

'Great Lord! Who shall we slay next?' stuttered one.

'The lightning-men! They are building something! We shall hack them to pieces!' cried another, foaming at the mouth.

Arbra'Gax lifted his blade once more, and gave his howling assent. If there were Stormcast in the vicinity, he would slaughter them.

Mission: The Monolith


The band of Stormcast defend the statue of Sigmar amid their temple complex.
