I'll get some better photos eventually but we're in the midst of reorganizing the basement into a bigger hobby space, so this will do for now.

Itty bitty teeny tiny tonk / I fill my enemies with fear / because I'm very stronk

Another small terrain update. I decided that I wanted the trees to look a little more lively and feed more into looking like they belong in a forest. They still retain the "these trees kill" spirit with the bones all around, but now have the benefit of actually looking like trees; much less suspicious.
Three different shades of moss really sells the effect, I think.

Look, if no one else is going to provide AoS terrain, I certainly will. There's something about playing on a table with fully painted terrain, and I for one am sick of using the 40k terrain the store provides!

Played a Path to Glory game of Age of Sigmar this afternoon and I can proudly say that my Lumineth were able to survive against the might of the Ruination Chamber. Having a Krondspine in my back pocket certainly helped, but Stormcast are really hard to shift when you only have Rend 1 Damage 1 and they ignore your spells.

The Mountain Cow is a surprisingly large model for something on a 100mm base. Honestly, with its wide power stance it would look just fine on a 110 or 120mm base. Either way: don't grab this bull by the horns.

Prepping some Emberstone tokens for an upcoming Ravaged Coast campaign. I originally planned for 9 but ended up with enough crystal chunks for 15. I'll probably need to make more later, but this is a good start point. Going to drybrush the crystals a dark red, with a little black on the very tops, after that: all over wash to tint the texture paste and tie the crystals together.

Slaughter's Serenity
I haven't been sitting on my laurels since the last post; I've just been focus painting to get this Cerastus Castigator ready to go! "Slaughter's Serenity" just needs some basing touch-ups and maybe a transfer or two (though I think it looks great without), and then it's done-done.

I'm happy to report that my entry won top place in the store's anniversary painting event! For the next year I am the "Master of the Brush" for my local GW!

Here are some movement trays I'm prepping. Laser-cut MDF off of Etsy with 25mm stainless steel discs that I'm epoxying down. After the epoxy cures I'll coat the whole thing in some ModgePodge to seal the MDF then prime it and toss a little bit of texture paste on.
It's kind of boring, but is one of those things that speeds up game-play and deployment.

Vixen Marches to War

While the varnish dries on the Lumineth model, I rather quickly painted up this War Dog Moirax. Probably the fastest I've painted one of these, but it's nice to see how my speed and technique are improving. There's still little things I can do: like verdigris and blood effects, but I'm quite happy with the results for a few hours of painting.

Working from home today, so I was able to sneak in some painting time during lunch. "Red" is coming along nicely, she's going to be much faster to paint than "Big B" because I already have the color scheme picked out.

Other than the jewel-gloss technical paints, the mount is done! On to "Red" the rider of "Big B" the wolf.

Completely skipped posting the priming step and I've jumped into painting. I'm kind of skipping around on this model instead of doing all base colors, all layers, etc.. Instead, I got the fur to where I liked it because I knew there would be a lot of drybrushing involved and now I've moved on to base colors for the rest. I'm stopping here for the night, but I'm happy with the progress.

Green-stuff work is done, and I think if I do more gribblies I'll overload the model, so I think we're calling this character done. On to painting to get ready for the local GW's Ravaged Coast campaign starting in a few weeks!

The new Gitmob kits for Age of Sigmar are extensively customizable. It appears that most everything between the Snarlfang Cavalry and the Sunsteela Wheelas are interchangable to some degree. Good for kitbashing, bad for option-paralysis.
Either way, this Gitmob is ready for walkies!

Recently finished the Skaventide novel and it manages to do something that the 40k novels often fail to do with their "otherworldly" villains: it makes the Skaven threatening. There are many moments in the novel where you aren't just told "the Skaven are a terrible doom lurking just over the horizon": you feel it. In this novel they aren't "funny"; they're malicious, calculating, and they WILL eat you. Body and soul.

Our #PathToGlory #RavagedCoast campaign starts this week and I realised I'll need Emberstone Clusters asap!

So I'm using my existing piratey 40mm objectives with the acrylic crystals I'm using as Emberstone Tokens popped on top

'Red' now has a head! I used the head from a spare Cathallar to give the Path to Glory hero I'm working on something to think about. I plan to repose the staff a bit, just a small rotation, but I think it'll make the hanging rings less gravity defying. After this all dries it'll be a small amount of green stuff clean-up and then off to priming.

Work continues on the Lumineth Path to Glory character. The "Big Bad Wolf" mount is done, now I'm working on "Red Riding Hood" as the rider. I'm thinking of using the veiled head from a spare Cathallar but I'm unsure. Still have green stuff resculpting to do in order to fill some gaps.

Given that I don't sculpt with green stuff that option, I'm calling this a passable attempt at increasing the volume of the mane to blend the pieces together.
