After months of inactivity I’ve finally finished the last Chaos Knight for my Slaves to Darkness Age of Sigmar force.
I’ve not managed to pick up a brush in months due to work and home being busy.
This takes my tally of completions for the year to 30. Got to get my mojo rolling a lot faster if I want to complete 52 by year end.
The last day of May sees me finally scrape in with two finishes. Hobby time this month has been consumed by cleaning up and priming the Darkoath Savager models from Games Workshop’s Warcry game.
They’ll be performing double duty for me as part of my Slaves to Darkness Age of Sigmar army.
To say that I’ve been swearng, moaning, ranting and generally crying during the process of cleanup and build of the Darkoath models is an understatement. I intensely dislike the way the models have been split and compiled on the sprues. Half a forearm!? Sheesh.
Anyway, that aside, when they’re built and primed they’re lovely models, full of Conan style character.
Pictured here are my first two (out of ten) finishes. Hopefully in June I’ll get the other eight done along with, more importantly, my final Chaos Knight.
These two models make my total completions for the year so far 29!
It’s another old GW/Battlemasters model, I wasn’t entirely sure where I was going with the colour scheme so it’s a bit darker than I wanted but it’s finished.
That makes 27 completions in 2024 and only one Knight left to go to complete the unit.
Hot on the heels of the sweetly scented allure of the old Realms of Chaos Slaaneshi Chaos Knight follows the no less pungent Nurgle Knight.
This time the model is one of the old Games Workshop & MB Games collaboration Battermasters models. This one was quite quick to do, I do think Nurgle themed models allow for a looser approach to applying colours.
Total completions: 26 for the year!
More progress on the Slaves to Darkness army for Age of Sigmar, this time an old Warhammer Realms of Chaos knight.
I’ve painted this one to be the Slaanesh representive for the unit. The intention is to have all four chaos powers represented and an Undivided knight leading them. I’ve already got a Khornate knight painted from when I started the project a while back.
This completion means I’m now onto 25 completions in 2024.
Another finish for the year! This time the Fomoroid Crusher for Warcry (and Age of Sigmar). I absolutely love this model, so much that I’m actually considering getting another one to build and paint the other variant.
I had a bit of a wobble on the colour scheme halfway through. I had to do a bit of an overpaint on the bandages/wraps around his arms but otherwise it was pretty straight forward.
This completion puts me at 24 for 2024. I’ve got a good pace going on at the moment despite a few periods of inactivity.
It’s a month since completing my first model (partly delayed due to having surgery) but I’ve finally completed my Tarantulos warband for Warcry.
The models are also part of my Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness army. Completing them also puts my AoS 1000 point force over halfway to completion as, combined with my Chaos Warriors unit, there’s now two thirds of the total models painted.
They’re based as with most of my GW models to represent a desert/wasteland theme. Quite happy with them now I’ve battled through the fiddly details.
This also puts my total completed models in 2024 at 23! Woohoo!
