Stormcast and Scenery

 

Some of my Warcry terrain, along with my Stormcast accompanied by the Man Hound.

Gristle and grizzle

 True kings never die. But men were never supposed to live eternally. What happens, then, to those who have existed for so long they survive a world's ending?

I've had two chaos warrior cloaks glued together in my bitz box for a long time, and I kept looking at Hek's incredible Tomb King scratch build and tried to replicate it.

Turnip Flavored

 I've had some historical bodies kicking around my bitz box for a while that I got when I bought an issue of Wargames Illustrated on a whim. The advent of Turnip28 has given me something to do with them. 

Pretty much any historical miniature can be made grimdark with judicious use of mud and tufts.

Necrons Arrive

 Gerezman is a planet haunted by the returning dead. It is fitting, then, that the most ancient death of all has begun to stir beneath the surface.

Gerezman is a graveyard for temples, churches, and townships, ruins from ages past and tributes to the region's hostility. Now they are home to feral ghouls, wild Deadwalkers, and lost wraiths of the Nighthaunt. The walls throb with absorbed death magic, metal edifices buckle and warp, and statues haemorrhage blood as if living.

An unbound Chainrasp stalks through the ruins, peering out at intruders.

A statue of Sigmar begins to weep blood as a powerful Nighthaunt drifts near.

Alzharad is a minor chaos power, a manifestation of dementia, lost memory and forget. Ideas and thoughts in the minds of species with a presence in the warp create ripples in the Immaterium, which can endure on the eddies and waves of warpspace for long after their source is gone. These orphaned concepts are claimed by Alzharad and twisted into daemons, sent into the mortal realm to destroy knowledge, spread amnesia, and consume truth.

An embodiement of a forgotten gate, the key lost and the bars rusted.

A spectre of forgotten dead, who will never know a grave.

A Forgettor is a direct creation of Alzharad, formed as other daemons are from a portion of his own power. Forgettors seek out mortals to inject with their memory-erasing venom.

These are a few lesser daemons I've created for the 28mag challenge, to make a fifth chaos god and its followers. It's a fun challenge, with a lot of room for creativity. I've been really enjoying other people's entries.

Remote as it may be, Gerezman is not free from the blight of greenskins. Where once was a large desert in the southern hemisphere is now an ecosystem of orkoid life; fungal strains, squigs and the ubiquitous orks themselves. Isolated groups of feral orks are present in other parts of Gerezman, but the world's other horrors discourage the greenskins from leaving their own territory.

It's nice to finally be putting a brush to things. This pandemic is a good excuse to sit and paint. This boy is a simple paint job largely consisting of contrast paint over a zenithal undercoat. It's very grimy and dusty, but I like it, especially for a model I have to paint more than a hundred of.
