Dork Elves in the Dungeon!

 Nope that's not a typo in the title not at all.  Finished up painting all the new dark elves for warhammer quest mini expansion.  I've been working on rebasing all of WHQ as well this is the first group to get completely finished and what a difference a base makes!



The first group photo is just the new dark elves added to our WHQ mini expansion.


And here's all the possible dark elf encounters in one!


These were all 3d printed though I had a few wash issues that made things less than stellar.  


Sisters of Slaughter are a real nightmare to try and rank up!


The melusai are really nice models and (barely) fit on 25 mm bases!


I've been collecting for WHQ for 13+ years now so some of my paint jobs are looking pretty old and shabby.  Adding a shiny new base though really helps these assassins stand out a little.


I always loved these old models and am using them for my black guard of nagaroth.


Another old paint job, this time an ebay rescue to boot!


Believe it or not the paint scheme for my dark elves came from a really funky shoe I saw.  Its a fun scheme to paint for sure especial on this not so dark pegasus.



I don't remember these executioners having a very long print run.  Probably for the best as the blades being a seperate part on most of the models makes them super fragile.


I have the blood wrack shirne with a detachable melusai so that she can be used as an individual encounter or moutned on the shirne.



Even have the older metal corsairs to use for quest.


I remember way back in the day having a few of hte metal cold one riders, these plastic ones are a big improvement on those tiny dinos.


Grabbing the statue off the cauldron of blood gives me a nice avatar of Khaine


And here's a few more shots of the blood wrack shrine without its rider.



Here's the ancient hydra, my box was missing a head and well oop by the time I opened it so I forced a dragon head onto it.  Looks kinda silly but I dig it.


The kharibdyss is one of my favorite models from the new dark elf range lots of fun detail.


Had a dragon lying around and thought why not add an entry where a dark elf rides it?



These shades needed a repaint after another ebay rescue.


Still enjoy how these witch elves turned out.

Finish Line of Madness!

 Finished up the last few things for Cthulhu Wars and that sticks a non euclydean fork in the whole thing!



The worms of groth took me a while to pin down what I wanted to do with them, I do enjoy the rather weird and somewhat yonic symbolysm of these world ending worms.


Wamps and Vooniths! Fun names, weird monsters for sure.


I wasn't able to snag a full set of investigators sadly but what I did get I was rather surprised about the details.  These really need to be in resin the plastic isn't doing them any favors, great sculpts!


And with the shinning Trapazohedron the only cardboard in the game is now spell books, faction sheets and the board itself!



So that's it a GIGANTIC board game with lots of huge minis!  Really love this game wish I could get it to the table way more often.

Non Euclidean Progress

Its always exciting to be near the end of a giant project.  Never had I thought I'd actually get down to painting this monsterous (pun intended) board game.Hopefully within the next week I can finish up the last few minis in my collection and (until I can find some rare items) put a fork in it!



First up the dreamlands!  Though its not the map I'm most exceited to play (gotta hand that one to Library) I really did think the sculps were nice and creative for this one.  Even the Bhole has some interesting texture contrasts.


I'm not to satisfied by my elder shogoth paint job but not sure what I want to do with it honestly.  Sweet looking sculpt though!


The Dunwich Horror was a real treat to paint.  Every sculpt was creative and interesting and its in purple!


Creepy Sandy Peterson was a nice addition to this one!


Dire Yog is by far the most impressive sculpt and maybe my favorite model in the game too.


Finally junior, or at least an artist representation of what he would look like if he wasn't invisible!
