The Lapis Legion

Hi all, wanted to start this log off with a story.
The Lapis Legion is so known for its sorcerers who not only turn into stone, but into a magnificent blue stone. It is a particular gift of Hashut. As the sorcerers die, their bodies are broken down and used in the construction of its armor and weaponry. And so they live on.

This is mostly WIP - it takes a long time for me to finish models, but I do hope to eventually have some on here!







The Wisdom of Iz-Kur-Has-A-Sudu

Once, as the wise sorcerer prophet patrolled the factories in his slave-drawn litter, two hobgoblin women approached. Rather than killing valuable labor, he let them approach. The two of them held a baby in their hands.

The first one said, “Oh, my lord, this detestable hag and I live in the same tenement, and I gave birth to a child while she was there. A few days after she also gave birth. That woman’s child died because she laid on him in the middle of the night. Then she took my living child and switched it with her dead child.”

The second one said, “No, you disgusting fiend, this living one is mine, the dead one is yours!”

The mighty and wise prophet responded, “What do I care? Send it to the mines! It’s old enough to work now”.

And all the mighty lords of the dark lands heard the judgment that the prophet uttered, and knew that he was blessed by Hashut indeed.

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Some more photos of my progress.

I absolutely love the Russian Alternative models. They are so detailed in all of the right ways and have so much character. I’m really enjoying painting them.

I’m very thankful for the community here for sharing the ability to print them. These models are all 3d printed, can you believe that!

Hi all. haven’t really had time for painting recently, but I would feel bad not having anything posted for a while, so here’s what’s on the workbench.

Not much more in the painting way of things recently. Just haven’t felt much inspiration.
On the positive side, the legion itself is being slowly assembled and primed!
This will be a true horde of the dark lands - my 2000 point list boasts 60 hobgoblin infantry (not to mention wolves and whatnot) and 30 infernal guard. Definitely more of a casual style army but I enjoy it.
