Huggable Cactus

My Daughter started her first blog today, she's a very talented painter, so her talents don't fall far from the tree. She's possibly a better painter than me. Her blog is Huggable Cactus and she's doing some commission work for Matt @ printable scenery whilst my son is learning about 3d printing.

This is a Ruined Porthouse from Printable Scenery painted by her with some Warhammer miniatures painted by me. For more pics head here

Yes, I'm painting Bretonnians again. Mostly for D&D though as they suck for Age of Sigmar, I'll use my Maggotkin for playing that.

Assembling the Funky Pestilent Swarm.

I have been assembling miniatures when I get time from my Pestilent Swarm Box set.

Putrid Blightking Champion: these miniatures are amazing. There are at least a dozen heads and about 10 different bellies and multiple arms including right shield arms. This is just a pic of the champion, the Musician is a little tinkerbell, he is adorned in bells, is wielding a giant bell and has a bell suspended in his stomach cavity. Glorious Nurgle.

Morbidex Twiceborn, there is so much detail on this miniature, I can't wait to paint him. The Maggoth mount's head and belly, a pair of arms and the rider's torso are the different pieces available other than the core. It will definately make 3 ignificantly different models, which will be cool, once I get around to the other 2.

Plague Drone Champion: I picked up another 3 Plague Drones in the Pestilent Swarm box set and started adding bits for the command from the Blightking leftovers, of which there were a lot. This dude has the scythe and the Nurgle fish head, which kind of seemed out of sorts for the blightkings box but then again maybe not.

Nurgley goodness from across the sea.

I recently picked up a great deal from the funds generated by recent trademe auctions. The Pestilent Swarm

I recieved them from ebay store discount games for $225 including shipping, GW price is $365 and individually they add up to $454. Nice bargain there considering the exorbitent prices. I do want another 2 Maggoth Lords and the Glottkin though, and maybe another lot of the Putrid Blightkings Sprues as they are my favourite models in this release cycle, they are such a treasure trove of bitz.

 Once I've assembled them I've decided to run a theme list as my previous end times list I played against dorfs was rather nasty. This list would include warriors, beastmen and daemons and all of the miniatures from the Pestilent Swarm box set. Plus Gutrot Spume.


Morbidex Twiceborn and the Pestilent Swarm.

Morbidex Twiceborn 385
Gutrot Spume 250

Herald of Nurgle, Battle Standard Bearer, Wizard level 1: lore of Nurgle, Greater Gift

30 Gors of Nurgle with additional hand weapons and full command
27 Plaguebearers with full command

4 Nurglings

5 Putrid Blightkings with Full command, Banner of Swiftness

5 Plague Drones, Plague Proboscis with full command.

No Beasts, that's right, you heard me, no Beasts. All I have to do now is assemble them. Half the fun. Love it.

Basing Ogres and unfinished Warrior project.

It's been a while since my last update and I've been playing trollbloods for Warmahordes and giving my Ogres a bit of a run with Warhammer Fantasy.Lost most of my games so far. Yay!

Firebelly = Reaper Fire Elemental.

Basing my ogres in cork and PVS+Sand. Have to wait for a week to get more primer.

Basing the rest of my trolls for my Warriors/Orcs & Goblins... and need even more primer.

My boy decided to organise how much Chaos warriors stuff I have. So I took some pictures. There is a giant, a daemon prince, a chimera and 20+ trolls missing at the moment from those pictures. Too many Chaos warriors (80+)

Chaos 1

Chaos 2

Chaos 3

And then there are a couple of towers I'm working on using my Hirst Arts Molds.

Paragon of Decay - 2nd Nurgle Legion - Round 1

The mountain pass rumbled with doom, a Great Nurgle Legion was approaching the blighted lands of the Vampires. Hasurkil the Harvester of Entropy had decided the undead horde of Valter Harkon was to be cropped. Too long had the undead flesh stayed the hand of decay and entropy. The Grandfather was guiding the scythe of Hasurkil to reap the undead scourge.  The Undead were today an obimnation that had to be eradicated. Life had to bloom again so it could decay.

So I played Nick in round 1 and wiped out his Vampire blender lord undead army and took one of his mountains.

I took: Paragaon of Decay with Chaos Warrior core

Hasurkil Bloodpus the Harvester of Entropy - Daemon Prince General of 2nd Nurgle Legion.

Chaos Armour,  Demonic Flight, Level 4, Lore of Nurgle, Mark of Nurgle,

Flaming Breath, Scaled Skin, Soul feeder, Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Sword of Striking

Exalted Hero BSB - "Aaron Gilmore" of the faded white flag.

Hideous Visage, Poisonous Slime, Dawnstone, Enchanted Shield

 

40 Chaos Marauders with flails, mark of Nurgle and full command

20 Chaos Warriors  with Halberds, mark of Nurgle and full command 

1 x Chimera, Flaming Breath, Regenerating Flesh 

4 x Beast of Nurgle

1 x Beast of Nurgle

1 x Beast of Nurgle

5 x Furies of Nurgle

5 x Furies of Nurgle  

Chaos Spawn (60pts) Mark of Nurgle

Nick had:

VC Blender Lord,

10 Black Knigths

VC BSB

30 Ghouls

30 Skellies

3 Wraiths

2 x 5 Dire wolves

Black Coach

7 Blood Knights

I had bad dice rolling this game and only got one spell off, however mitigated this with manoevreing of DP and Chimera. Most of the game I had the ascendancy so didn't have to suffer the Scorn of Chaos which was great. Nick sucked his BSB down a hole and killed his blood knights with the aoe and left my DP swatting at the air. The beasts were again the stars of this battle, they lasted forever and did exactly what I needed them to do. My BSB (appropriately named after the battle because he was made of fail) was crap, rolled 12 and then 10 for my break test on my Nurgle Marauders who ran and got mowed down by the Black knight bus. Plague wind finished most of them off took the last wound off the VC general. Blood knights die really easily and is most satisfying with every wound they take.

 

In the Aftermath my Chaos Warriors got promoted to a regiment of renown and gained Stubborn, So they're now called the "Warriors of Eternal Lesions". Bad ass if you ask me.  I might sit tight on my 3 Mountains and delve next round. Get some of the good gold and maybe some armour for my GUO.

Miniature Progression (lots of Ol Skool pinning)

On Saturday had a pinnning and painting session. Pinning a lot of my old daemon stuff and painting Ogres for commission.

Keeper of Secrets I got on trademe. It was missing a hand and a head, so some tentacles and daemon prince and it's an improvement on the original

Keeper of secrets

Slaaneshi Herald BSB riding an old Steed of Slaanesh.

Rackham Figure posing as a Beast of Nurgle

Azazel was missing a lot of pieces, so Daemon prince wings have been added. I still have to kitbash and sculpt a right leg and right arm. but he's probably going to end up as a slaaneshi daemon prince for a warriors of chaos army.

Ol Skool Daemon Prince, he was missing a sword but nothing a minotaur hand can't fix. He's going to be EOTG Daemon Prince for Warriors of Chaos army.

Ogre Tyran Commission with 1 layer and Inking done.

Bragg the Gutsman commission 1 layer of paint

Firebelly commission 1 layer of paint. I love this miniature.

Converted Ogre into BSB for Commission. Only first layer painted.

Reaper Ogre is gonna be the Slaughtermaster. She looks like she'll fit in.

Ogre BSB conversion, Chopped his double handed glave in half added the bull standard arm, a Bretonnian banner and the Ogre standard top and bob's your uncle... er... Ogre.
