The Lands of More-Dwarf!

Because painting beards is just a great hobby for anyone, I painted more! 

The bullwarkers are finished up and I have my own shiny horde of dwarfy spear people!

Mantic's steel behemoth was a must have and provides a nice centerpiece in an infantry heavy army.

The army has finally grown into a real army now and I'm really liking the progress.

Rats, Foiled Again!

I wanted to start running a horde army and since the Ratkin were halfway there I decided to get them finished up in only 2 weeks time for a meetup.  Jokes on me because I should have played forces of nature, then maybe it wouldn't have dumped winter apocalypse all over and canceled the meetup...

I quickly threw together a 2000 point list that I thought I could scrounge together in time.  Do note that most of these models were already painted from previous projects and just needed some bases build and a few extra models to flesh out the unit.  It wasn't all started from scratch in 2 weeks!

The brutes have been expanded to a horde and feel much more dangerous now.

I used plague censers and poison wind rats to fill in the Blight and make a horde of those!

Reaper kobolds and various things were quickly scavanged for a slave horde.

Two troops of clawshots because no matter how bad they perform for me they seem ok on paper...

My only death engine for now painted up several years ago.

These spear rats have been languishing unused for a long time, still need to add some moss around the movement tray though...

The only real reason I want to run this army of coarse is the demon rat of happy fun times!

I had about 12ish metal stormvermin before starting this horde so this took the most time by far.  

The warriors were already done and now just need some moss around the edges.

And of coarse a group shot of the whole army.  Most of it was going into 2k points but a few things were just left out for lack of room.  Nice to have a solid start to the army though now.

Spooky Dessert Stuff

The Empire of Dust has quite a few new reinforcements now and its high time I get the pictures up!

The behemoth was an easy model to finish with this paint scheme but it has become a very striking centerpiece for sure.

No undead army is complete without some spooky skeletons!

The enslaved guardians have recently been given an upgrade so I made it a priority to finish these.

Even the ones with melee weapons got better!

There's even a new mummy formation and since it calls for two regiments I just had to add a second!

The soul snare has become an amazing mid range harassment unit with a longer ranged life drain.  great way to mitigate more damage in the army.

Finally I've added two cursed high priests on foot to round out the character selection.

Stunties!!!!

Yeah I know its been a while...

But whatever! I've got new dwarves!

No dwarf army would be caught out in a mine without big boomy guns!

One of the gunners even has a nice instruction manual telling him what to roll to hit the target...

 Somehow I did fit the flame belcher on a 50mm base.  Really like the pointing dwarf on this one he's just got a lot of character to him.

I REALLY like painting dwarves and I don't know why.  I didn't even need all these characters but they were just so much fun to paint!  Must be the beards...

For my berserker lord on Brock I went for this gorgeous reaper miniature.  

And Mantic's models worked great for exactly the purpose they were cast for!  These guys were a lot more fun to paint than I thought they'd be.

 These guys have finally been upgraded to a full on regiment!

And last but not least I've got my throwing pugs of war!

Something Evil

I've had a touch of hobby burn out lately.  I did get a few things done but mostly took it easy.

The Night Stalkers finally have some blood worms to add to the ranks.  These are plastic worm things from the Halloween store and fishing lures.

The murderous elves now have a tree herder that looks fabulous!

And a regiment of heavy cavalry!

And no longer do my artillery pieces have to go into battle in grey plastic color...

Oh and I decided to go crazy and take some giant group shots...

Yeah I have a problem...

The Fishy Finish Line

Thats right the Trident Realms army is done.  It came together pretty fast and it was an enjoyable project for sure.

 Had to add an extra troop of Heartpiercers in.

 And the army was lacking in cavalry so why not add some large ones with the wyrmriders?

Check out more pics of the whole army here in the completed projects.

Revisiting

I decided that it was time to add a bit to some long neglected armies as of late.

Had these guys kicking around for some time and finally conscripted them into the Night Stalkers army.  These will be used as nightmares.

The League of Rhordia army really needed some more halflings so why not add the first spear horde.

Add in a vaguely overcompensating army standard and a miniature gandalf and Rhordia has been bolstered!

I thought it would be good to get an updated group photo of both armies while I was at it too.
