AoS Spearhead Measuring Sticks (Carl)

A bit of an oddball pair of ‘models’ here. They’re not models in the traditional sense at all but they are on the terrain sprue to be painted.

6 inch and 3 inch measuring sticks (combined to make 9) for use in Age of Sigmar Spearhead games. I took the opportunity to test paint these with a marble effect as I plan on using it on the Spearhead terrain pieces I have primed and waiting.

Overall quite happy with the way they worked out. Not sure if they count as one of two completions though. Hmmm… I’m going for counts as two. That’s 43 completions for the year!

1000 points Slaves To Darkness Army for Age of Sigmar (Carl)

The completion of my Ogroid Myrmidon (see previous post) also completes my 1000 points of Slaves to Darkness for Age of Sigmar. Mission complete!

It’s taken a big chunk of stop-starting over the last three years but it’s finished.

I completed 13 models for the Tarantulos warband from Warcry Red Harvest for this army along the way too. But as is Games Workshop’s way, a new edition of Age of Sigmar during my time painting means have been rotated out of the latest edition of the game.

I don’t mind. I’ve got an army finished.

(The photo is a quick rush job but you can see what’s in it, I took it as a marker of completion rather than anything else).

Ogroid Myrmidon (Carl)

At long, long last… the Ogroid Myrmidon for Age of Sigmar is finally complete!

This model has taken far too long, the reason? Avoidance. I simply could not bring myself to paint the black leather straps around his body. It’s a small thing but for some reason I hit a block purely because I didn’t want to do them.

But this week I’ve managed to push through the block and complete him. It’s a great model, I love the sculpt, although my build was a bit rushed so there’s a few gaps I only noticed when painting him. But they’re quite well hidden due to the way the model components are designed to fit together.

This completion takes this years tally of completions to 41.

Zarshia Bittersoul (Carl)

Another step towards the completion of my Slaves to Darkness Age of Sigmar 1000pt force. This time my Chaos Sorcerer, Zarshia Bittersoul from the Khagra’s Ravagers Warhammer Underworlds is warband.

I really like this model, it’s got loads of character. The painting took less time than I expected with me getting it finished in about three sessions.

This completion makes it 40 for the year!!

Aethervoid Pendulum (Carl)

It’s the first finish of October and another step towards completion of my Age of Sigmar 1000pt force.

This one is the Aethervoid Pendulum, an Endless Spell that a wizard can conjure during a game. I bought this back in 2023 so it’s nice to have it finished.

This one takes my total completions for the year to 39!

Minas Tirith Warriors (Carl)

The completions continue with two more Minas Tirith Warriors for my Gondor Lord of the Rings army.

I’m still not 100% sure about the way I’m painting the armour but I’m just going to run with it as it’s reasonably quick.

These two make it 38 finishes for the year so far.

Perry Miniatures Dismounted Armoured Arab Cavalry (Carl)

When I finished the Naffatun earlier in the week I couldn’t help seeing these two next to him awaiting completion. So, having woken up silly early, I got these guys finished while the house was quiet.

I’ve got the rest of the pack for these somewhere but I don’t think they’ve even been cleaned up and primed yet so it might be a while before I get the group finished.

They take my completions so far this year to 36!

This means I’ve already surpassed last years 32 for the year :)
