Some more work on the Cold One Knights over the weekend. Platemail, chainmail and cloth are now sorted, I’ll probably try and get some of the leather on the armour done as the next stage.

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.

A couple of things I’ve been working on recently. I’ve now finished building my Wraiths, including magnetised claws so that I can add whip coils, so these guys are ready to spray and paint. That’ll bring me up to 6 Wraiths.

I’ve also been building the first of my two Canoptek Spyders. It’s mostly there, just a bit of magnetising to finish off before I get started on the second one. So far the Particle Beamer and Gloom Prism are magnetised, that just leaves the Fabricator Claw Array which shouldn’t take too long.

As well as that I’ve picked up some more supplies to finish off my gaming board, so I’ll hopefully get myself sorted on the other half of that soon too.

Some Dark Elves for Miniature Monday. Finished one group of 5, then started on another 5. Once this last group is done I’ll have all 50 spearmen painted, just need shields and bases.

Making me realise how long it’s been since I played Fantasy though!
