Horace Embraces his Grey Destiny [BATG 2024]

These look great!

Oh man. Those crossbow dwarfs especially look so awesome!

I finally got around to actually painting and finishing some stuff!

This month’s finished pile:

Skarbrand - Quite fiddly to paint like a lot of the newer GW models, but nice to finally have a model for him.

Goblin Big Boss & Warboss - more NG for the pile

Dwarf Gyrocopter - Been wanting a second one of these for a while. Just a few more bits missing from my Dwarfs I’d like, an old 4th edition cannon, another Organ Gun and a Bolt Thrower.

War Mammoth - Printed the Emang mammoth and modified a Gnarlmore STL I found to make a Nurgle shrine for the top of it. I magnetised this bit so I could swap it for the other god options

Since I did so poorly at the end of last year I had some Daemonettes almost finished so it gives me a lovely start to the year :slight_smile:

I padded them out with some fillers so it gives me enough to run 2x blocks of 30 and a pure Slaanesh army at reasonable points

Then I printed a Giant, some Fiends and some Dwarfs and undid some of my work

Well I think Im going to call this month, no way I’m finishing in the next few days. At least I can now post up my Golden Hat entry which is the one thing I’ve actually finished. Unfortunately my Brets box and printed Iron Daemon somewhat ruin my stats.

Will have to make do with some WIP pics

Got something finished and based this month, I have a chunk of daemons almost there but doubt they will make the cut off

Definitely a fun model to paint!

I finally finished a bunch of Daemon stuff, can’t say it was the most enjoyable set of models to paint. The chariots really need to be painted before assembling and have lots of fiddly bits without being actually difficult to paint. Aready snapped and lost 1 spike. I bodged together an extra Herald with the spare parts from the kits.

I also got a printed Balewind Vortex things done for us in Storm of Magic games.

Also printed some other chariots, a Charnel Throne/Charnel pit (almost finished) and a Dwarf Bolt Thrower, taking me to a net neutral position :joy:
