The Grey in Question part 1
Warhammer Age of Sigmar
These are my main focus for the year, most likely to get a lot of attention since they’re the ones I’m most excited about. My A-list collections. I’ll update these posts with my progress as the year goes on.
Any models bought for parts won’t appear as part of the collections, although I’ll count them towards the score totals.
“Modern” Chaos Duardin
Inspired by the “Battle for Skull Pass” (BFSP) conversions that have been swirling around for ages, I wanted to make “Modern” Chaos Dwarf kitbashes for Age of Sigmar, focussing on keeping the conversions simple and using models that are easily available without dipping into out-of-production models too far (the BFSP Warriors themselves had to be in there, though!).
I’ve been logging them on the forum here and I’ll keep doing so! They’ll be cross-posted here but I’ll keep the detailed commentary to that thread.
