"We are the lords of the night and you humans are our cattle. While we walk tall you are on your knees."

Warhammer Armies: Vampire Counts, 'Von Carstein'

To my mind, no art captures the Von Carsteins better than this classic piece by Mark Gibbons, so I made it something of a seasonal challenge to try and convert and paint it in miniature form by Halloween.

Painting with just black and white wasn't something I'd ever attempted before, but this felt like the perfect opportunity to try. It's also the first piece l've ever set on a plinth.

While a Necrarch at heart, there's a lot I love about all the bloodlines, so I embraced my inner Dracula and just went for it.

Happy (early) Halloween. I hope you like him. 🦇

Medium-er Daemons of Khorne (and flesh critters)

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

As I near(ish) completion of my storm of chaos era mortals army of khorne, I’ve hit the start of this years Call of the Crown Challenge, for which I’ll be building and painting some less typical deamons units.

Starting with this unit of ‘medium-er daemons of Khorne’ using Heroquest gargoyles as a basis with milliput and greenstuff. Theyre on 25s and they’re big spread out lads, so I’ve gone with alternating basing, and put a few ‘flesh critters’ in with them (epic flesh hounds).

I decided to go without wings so some work needed on the bask to add an armpit panel, then on the shoulders to make it feel more like it overlaps in the right order.

Lore/Books/Questions Tyrion on Star Dragon kitbash question

Post image

Would the classic Tyrion mini fit on one of the plastic High Elf dragons? I figure it would need a decent amount of conversion just to support the poor dragon's neck, but would it need a lot of cutting/filing otherwise? Any advice from somebody with the actual mini in question would be greatly appreciated.

Lore/Books/Questions Anyone knows if GW made models for skeleton crossbows back in 4th edition? Or where they models you had to kitbash yourself ?

I can't really seem to find anything online about them, except that they existed in the 4th edition undead army book.

Flaming Sword: 25pts. Ap-1. flaming attacks. Against enemies with flammable, you always wound on 4+. Wielder cannot join a unit with regeneration rule.
Helmcutter: 25pts. Ap-1. If you roll 6 to wound, enemy cannot take armor save (So basicly cleaving blow)

Armor of Dust:  45pts. Full Plate. Save roll cannot be improved or reduced in anyway. If you roll 1, suffer -1 T (minimum 1)
Armor of Fate: 35pts. Heavy Armor. Infantry or Cavalry only. Re-roll failed armor saves. If you roll 1, suffer S5 hit with no armor save possible.

Armor of Jet* 20pts. Heavy Armor, can be worn by wizard. If user miscasts, suffer -1 to this roll.

Talismans:

Enchanted items:

Robes of Phakth 50pts. Infantry only. Gain fly 8, Ethereal and Loner.

Arcane Items:

Tome Of Oppression 40pts. Infantry or Cavalry. Instead of dispelling, you may use a tome (once per round). Both wizards roll D6 and add toughness. Loser takes a S4 AP-1 hit (and if said wizard attempted to cast the spell, its dispelled). In draw, spell is dispelled but neither takes a hit.
Crude Canopis* 30pts. When dispelling, any natural double results in unbinding. However if you roll double one, you are outclassed and must roll twice on Miscast table and apply both results.
Moritheim Magnifier 25pts. Use once per turn. Increase spell range by 3 but casting value by 1.

Lore/Books/Questions Kislev Prophecy

So in kislev there's a prophecy that one day a male sorcerer will appear and taint the winds of magic and that's why there's a ban on male sorcerers there, do we have any idea who could have been the person this prophecy was talking about or did it get left completely unresolved.

My (hob)goblin wolf riders ready. Kitbashed them from oathmark wolf riders with bits and pieces from AOS hobgoblin set. Not particularly happy with them, they darkened a bit after Vallejo Matt varnish and also became a bit glossy, maybe I'll come back to them and try to fix that, but for now I want to move on. Gonna use them for both green skins and chaos dwarfs army lists.

Next up - black orcs.

The Old World Cannot decide - need your help!

0 Upvotes

I need your help: I got an old Chaos chariot and intend to give it a new life in one of my Dogs of War mercenary regiments for the Old World. But I cannot decide which path to choose.

Option A is a battle taxi for the vampire-not-a-vampire lieutenant. The mini will be in the style of the ladies in the picture (see comments for the pic), but more martial and more obviously vampiric. Obvious choice for the chariot would be to change chaos emblems with skulls and bones. Maybe a coffin.

Option B is the Love Mobile of Fabió Bronco (similar look to his Brother Fabió Branko in the picture). Bronco is spreading the message of Love and Happiness and his chariot shows this with flowers and whatnot.

I'm thankful for all ideas!

The Old World This is becoming ridiculous…

• Upvotes

New magic items for everyone but for dwarfs (and demons if you play legacy).

Dwarf runes were released nerfed and (mostly) overcosted in tOW.

Every time new magic items are released dwarfs take a hit on an already not particularly good army.

Magic items should be a ne of the core advantages for dwarfs, helping to compensate for their many shortcomings (pun intended). Instead at this point they have the worst access to magic item in the game, alongside the worst movement, the worst magic phase and the worst artillery…

Is SDS even going to address the situation or can we expect another set of nerfs to hit dwarfs with the next “patch”?
