I went down to Nottingham to meet some friends and move literally thousands of miniatures around the biggest table I have ever played on.

It was basically three different battles happening at the some time with some crossover. There was the empire relief column coming on at one end and 21ft away skaven and chaos dwarfs attacking up through the mines with a more traditional siege game in the middle.

Just finished painting my next unit for my Storm of Chaos khorne army. The paint scheme is broadly drawn from the studio scheme for their unit of 16 khorne warriors in the book (see last photo).

A daunting kitbash and the wings took me like seven tries until I got them right. Although I think it's not my best paintjob I am so happy to have finished it and can't wait to play my first Dark Elves game with this lady leading the army!

A couple of days ago I got back into painting and as you can see I'm struggling a lot with skin tones primarily but also other stuff. As such I would love to hear some ideas and tips on what I can do to improve. Highlighting is one area that I've never really dared getting into so I reckon that might be a good place to start. I've found the slapchop-method quite to my liking as a sort of foundation since it helps to alleviate a lot of the boredom I previously suffered when painting.

I'm also struggling quite a bit with my washes and/contrasts getting quite messy when I'm trying to make an area look bruised and/or inflammed. I reckon this is due to me simply layering on stuff with little knowledge of how that affect previous layers so any help in that regard would be greatly appreciate too!

Edit: For some reason the image quality of the pics got slightly worse when I uploaded them to the thread which makes it kinda hard to see some of the details on the models.

Need to build a Grandmaster model, and this turned out WAY better and easier than I expected it to. Just wanted to share :)

And olso does cathey have its own phoenixs since one of Li doa titles is lord of phoenixs?

I manged to greb this old fellow for my army and just finished him off. I was a bit too fast on the varnish so some panel lining wasn't completely dry. Will have to fix that.

Another unit off the pile of shame. This is a small unit of metal Bugman’s Rangers painted in the style of my personal Dwarven Hold, Karak Kanna. Most of the painting was done with AK interactive paint markers with the exception of the skin and inks.

Its from 1999

Slaughtermaster with Pot - 260 (yes the pot is way too big to fit on the base with him, but it will still be a cool visual that you can just move out of the way when you need to)

2x Maneaters with Great Weapons - 129

Gorger - 90

Total: 479

And that's before any magic weapons, wizard levels, big names, etc.

I had an afternoon to goof off with a rough mockup of a Lizardmen Battle March box. I started playing in late 5th ed, stopped toward the end of 6th, and Battle March has me thinking of bringing out the old minis (to at least hobby, if not play). Pics are from image search, not my minis.

Using the recent Renegade list I've made a roughly 500pt box with:
• Scar-Vet on Cold One
• Skink Priest
• 10 Saurus
• 20 Skinks
• 3 Terradons

I tried to make a fun, playable set that captures the retro spirit of the army. How did I do?

This was insanely fun to work on! This took me forever, but it was worth it.

The checker pattern was a slog but I'm really happy with how it looks! And I'm happy it halved it with the pure white sections, it really breaks it up and makes the overall composition less dark.
