Hobby Goals - October '23

  ( Red  items were completed this month,  purple  items in previous months) Checkout my  Warhammer Underworlds  for more articles. Checkout my  How to paint... articles  can be found here. Checkout my  Hobby Goals  for more articles As October arrived, the new season of Warhammer Underworlds, Deathgorge, was released. I immediately preordered the boxset and as a result purchased seven new miniatures. I now had a target number of miniatures to paint this month! I started out by painting Dromm from the Gorechosen. He was then swiftly followed by Skullgrinder Herax. Many months earlier I had painted the Gorehulk so I had now finished the warband. When painting this warband, I used my How I paint guides for both the Bloodletters and the Juggernauts of Khorne  to provide the colours for the Gorehulk's skin and the metallics of the warband, respectively. With this warband, I could tick off  'Paint a Warhammer Underworlds warband'. ...

Warhammer Underworlds - Top Picks - Domitan's Stormcoven

Image
Check out my  Warhammer Underworlds - Contents Page for more articles.   Nemesis is my preferred format for playing Warhammer Underworlds. However, when I begin playing with a Faction or Rivals deck I am never quite sure which cards to take. My Top Pick guides are the five objectives and five ploys and upgrades that I use when constructing a Nemesis deck. These cards might not be the best but they are the ones I find most useful.  I originally starting this series as a diary for myself. I would take two of these Top Picks and combine them to build a basic deck, with addition of two additional objective cards. Then I could play some games, before using the experience to improve the deck. Having made these list I thought I would share them. I hope you enjoy. Basic Premise of the Deck Domitan's Stormcoven stands as an elite trio of Stormcast Eternal wizards, a formidable force capable of adapting to any opponent's tactics. With a diverse array of magical abilities, their mi...

How to paint Sacrosanct Stormcast Eternals - Hallowed Knights

Image
  During the Age of Sigmar, the Stormcast Eternals are the main force of Order in the Mortal Realms. With each new edition of the game, a new set of Stormcast miniatures have been released. I have mainly been painting Stormcast for Warhammer Underworlds but I am starting to branch out into Warcry. So far I have completed: the Farstriders, Steelheart's Champions, the Cursebreakers and Ironsoul's Condemnors. Currently, I am working my way through the Storm of Celestus. When Age of Sigmar was first released I got my first Stormcast miniature in White Dwarf. Then reading through the Realm Gate War books, I found the Hallowed Knights battling the forces of Nurgle in the realm of Ghyran.  New to painting Warhammer Miniatures → Start here: Warhammer Painting Made Simple For other miniature painting guides → Faction Painting Hubs I have continued to paint my Stormcast as Hallowed Knights ever since. For the Second Edition of the Age of Sigmar, the Sacrosanct Chamber was opened. Th...

Pock's faithful companions, Grotbiter and Ratspike and a pair of large dogs. I wanted to paint mine as Rottweilers with the distinctive back and brown further. To determine the position of the black and brown fur on the dog, I searched for images on the internet.  This is my guide for they miniatures, it could also be used for the dogs from the Warcry warband, Wildercorps Hunters.

A further highlight, using the previous mix with additional Eshin G...
