Hail to the Chief

This week I have finished off the first of the hero models and also Nephilim / Twilight Kin Bolt Thrower. As the plan is to use be able to use the bolt thrower for either Hordes or KoW I needed a basing solution as the rules use different size & shape bases.

Nephilim on Round Hordes base

Hero ready for Action

So I have used magnetic sheet on the bottom of the round base to attach to another sheet on the top of the square base. This gives enough of a force to keep the two bases secure and together.

Square KoW base seperated

Whole thing together

I have also made some good progress on the first Regiment of Reaper Guard with 5 ready and a further 6 close to completion and also Dragon riding hero coming along nicely.

Completed

Highlights and Varnish to go

Another Big Blue Fighting Machine

The Shadows

I had the chance today to sit down and put together the first five Shadows using the Dark Eldar Whyches and some crossbows from a bits site, they came together rather well and much more easily than I had hoped.

Apache ?

I also got the Army Painter dip onto the Blade Dancers, I had to forgo the flicking after the first model had a horrible death and broke up, the remaining models I just painted the 'dip' on to.

The Survivors

 

The Dancers will now need to be highlighted and then varnished to reduce the amount of shine added by the dip.

First Twilight Kin

With the Green Wing completed I know have both of the Gangs of Commorragh finished and ready to use. My brother should be coming over in a few weeks so I am sure we can fit a few games in.

The whole Gang

Must clean my desk some day

This meant that I could get some work done on the Blade Dancers and the Nephilim who will be used as a bolt thrower stand-in.

Basics done

The big dude

As normal I am getting the basic colours down and then touching up after, I am not entirely sure what direction I am going to go with the Nephilim but a darker red looks good so far. As I may want to use the Nephilim for Hordes later on I have put some magnets in his feet to allow for easier base swapping.
