Sorceress with Executioners (still WIP)

Check me out with a proper Miniature Monday offering!

Painted up my Sorceress on Saturday as a bit of a break from the Executioners. Everything except the eyes are now done (though I may go back and mess around with a few details later), and it only took an afternoon.

Currently the plan is to run her as a high level (3 or 4) Life Sorceress to protect/resurrect my Executioners. They’ll probably be accompanied by Tullaris and a Witch Hag for all that nasty frenzy action. I’ve used this combination once, and it really does cut through units all over the place.

I really think the plastic Dark Elf Sorceress is one of the top GW models out there, and a great example of plastic beating finecast. I’m pretty tempted to pick up a couple more of these models some time and paint them in a pretty similar style but with different washes on the hair, as it’s such an eye-catching part of the model.

As I said the eyes are still to go. Eyes scare me a lot, not sure if I’ll try some kind of OSL glow effect or try and pick up a more detailed brush to do them normally. I’ve also had Micron Pens recommended for eye detail so may try and grab some of them for eyes.

Been working on my second Ghost Ark recently, here’s a photo of the pair of them for Miniature Monday. Need to finish a bit more gold on the second one, do the blue glaze on the drivers’ shoulders on both and decide if there’s anywhere else to add the blue glaze.

I’ve actually been back to using my Arks, my current list for Conflict Scotland in July includes them so figured it was time to get them ready for the table. They’ve been playing well so far, and respawning Warriors on nearby squads seems to take lots of people by surprise.

Had a productive few days on the hobby front. Finally got around to doing the last of my Warriors, bringing me up to 60. Looking forward to glancing some tanks with all that Gauss!

I also painted Imotekh, he’s been sitting in my case looking lonely as the only one of my Overlords unpainted. So now I have Imotekh, Trazyn and two standard Overlords.

Which actually means I’m really close to finishing all 5,000pts of Necrons that I own! I think I only need to base 10 Deathmarks and paint 2 Ghost Arks and I’ll have the lot done. Though I’m sure I’ll buy more before that happens. I’m already thinking of another Annihilation Barge, more Wraiths and some Spyders.
