Next up is priming the base and blending the legs. Hope you like him (c&c welcome)

"In rage and suffering, we heat the flame.
In pain and honor, we melt the bronze.
In strenght and violence, we shape the metal.
In blood and tears, we cool it.
In Fury and Rage, we lift it to the sky.
May the god of hounds and skulls bless your journey and this weapon"

I liked the idea of a khornate priest as an ironsmith, this is an element of the Blood god that it's often forgotten and it gives him way more tridimensionality.
At the same time this is my least favorite of the 4 priests: I love the face but after finish it I feel that the mutations that brought him to have sturdy legs (and an animalistic one) are... weird.
If I will have time I would do it again.

As always, any feedback is welcomed!

Found a stack of them at my local book store and just bought one.

I actually began the display back in January, spent most of the start of the year painting up the minis before gradually building up the rest of the display, there’s an interior filled with loads more minis but it’s isn’t quite finished yet. If people like what they see then once it’s all finished I’ll share a load more close ups and the interior. Thoughts and feedback always greatly appreciated 💜

What a super fun build. Was definitely getting a bit tired of it by the 10th SoS but the rest was super fun and the whole thing wasn’t too hard. Was my first time building with glue/cement and not snap together pieces, learned a ton in the process.

Have to admit I blushed a couple times too while working out the finer connections on their pelvic and sternum areas 😳

Like the title says, life has been crazy so progress has been slow, but I’ve been motivated/jealous seeing other people post their Skaven Cogforts, so I wanted to give an update. I’m not a “pro” painter by any means, and this has been a monumental task for me (more used to batch painting squads).

Bottom half is nearing completion, just touching up little mistakes and adding details. It’s hard… because there are a lot. It’s easy to get lost and feel like no progress is happening (not an issue on a clanrat), so it’s helped to focus on one area from one vantage point and start blocking in details, and that section becomes my “batch”.

Top half is less worked out; still not sure about the color of the stone arch, and obviously the bell and Grey Seer aren’t really started.

Hope you all enjoy, and please drop some cool name suggestions!!!

I'm pretty close to calling her done, just gotta paint the weapons and shield.

I’m starting a skaven army and i need painting tips, do you have any good ressources/vids for a beginner?

Tl;dr: I thought units attack units, not that models attack units.

So I've been building, painting and reading for about a year now, all the while reading rules on the side but never actually engaging with actual play. I recently tried out Spearhead with my younger brother, and only after playing a few rounds stumbled upon something I did (and therefore tought my brother) wrong: My understanding was that units that are in combat range of each other are automatically fully able to hit each other, irrelevant of the position of the individual models; i.e. as long as units are in combat with each other, each model in a unit can attack the other unit.
I now randomly saw a question on this subreddit that recontextualised this for me; thus my question, do I understand correctly that

Models attack Units (and not units attack units) in regards to how many attack will be rolled against a unit?

I tried to illustrate this for myself and my brother with the pictures above:

1. Picture: Marauder is within combat range of Sisters of Slaughter Unit; attacks whole unit, player who controls SoS decides what model suffers damage (if any).
2. Picture: Only the first two SoS models are in combat range of Marauder, the third one can not attack.
3. Picture: The wight king can attack the whole SoS unit, only 8/10 SoS can attack it back. This could be optimized by moving the wight king back until almost out of range of the SoS.

Is that correct, or did I miss something else? Sorry for the long post, but that really opened the game up to more complexity/interest, and explains why I should not be able to beeline my cavalry from an objective to an enemy unit 10" away and still attack with all models.

Incredibly happy with how it turned out. Gonna try carry on with a similar scheme for the rest. If anyone has tips for NMM bronze/copper, I would greatly appreciate it!

Wanted something unique to run as my gaunt summoner/on disc variant.

I imagine his story being he was originally a devotee to Nurgle, but was swayed by Tzeetch for more powerful magic becoming a gaunt summoner. That or he's posing as a follower of Nurgle while being a gaunt summoner..

Either way, this was really fun to build. I'm looking forward to all the unique colors I'll get to paint, not just more black iron, bronze, and red!

Dudes we had the silliest time with this battle plan in our latest Battle rep (link below)

IT WAS SO DUMB, the boys were literally playing the floor is lava and then using it against each other.

Has anyone else played this Battle plan yet??? I wanna know if everyone's experience was equally stupid.
