Malign Sorcery: Lauchon the Soul Seeker

Another Malign Sorcery spell. This one actually is somewhat more "miniaturey" than the others. It has a dude on it! He (She?) is a shard of the god Lauchon the Soul Seeker. For the discount price of one soul, he will carry you across the battlefield in his stylish boat. I like how he came out, but I'm not loving some of the effects, namely the fire and the green mist didn't seem to come out quite like I wanted. Since he's getting entered into a painting event, I took the time to complete his base as well.

Warhammer Underworlds: Zarbag's Gits

Goblins!

It's Zarbag's Gits for Warhammer Underworlds. These are a fun set of miniatures to paint, I followed my standard Night Goblin formula for how I painted them (see the Night Goblin article on the right). The only model I don't really like is the fanatic. I get that he's quaffing the moon brew that will turn him super strong (and cause him to want to spin spin spin), but a fanatic doesn't seem like a fanatic unless he's in a twirling pose. As usual, I painted the squigs blue (cause blue squigs are cool!)

There's always a moment when I paint the cowls with either checkers or dags where I question myself as to whether it's a good idea or not. Hopefully I did a good job this time.

Stormcast Knight-Heraldor

Another Stormcast! Soon I'll have all of the Stormcast command models painted, but not a single line trooper done. I think this is a Knight-Heraldor. The one on GW's page looks different (his sword is down and he's blowing his horn). He's from the Silver Tower: Arcane Heroes boxset. He's not Arcane hero though ... but GW had to put a Stormcast in that set, since everything had to have Stormcast at that time. His head is a bit smaller than all of the other Stormcast heads I've painted (or maybe his shoulder pads are bigger?). It's a bit weird. It's not a bad model, but it's also not my favorite.

Warhammer Underworlds: Stormsire's Cursebreakers

I'm stumbling my way to a full Stormcast army. It's the spellcasting Stormcast of Underworlds. I'm continuing with my paint scheme of red and white (with gold accents). I'm not sure I have a lot more to say about these guys...

Medium Water Elementals

I've got Earth and Air, now for Water. It's more low hanging fruit! 2 Wizkid D&D Medium Water Elementals. These actually have some paint on them, I used a Guiliman Blue Glaze to give them a bit of a "watery" look. I did these the same evening I did the previous 2 Air Elementals.

Medium Air Elementals

Low hanging fruit! These are from the official Wizkid D&D line, all of the work was just on the bases. Not much to say about them. They will look good with the previous Large Air Elemental. Given the helter skelter nature of June so far, I need some low hanging fruit so I sat down one night and just cranked these out.

Total: 33

Total for the Year: 119

Finished off the Malign Sorcery bits, as well as, the Nightvault Arcane Hazards and the Age of Sigmar Shattered Dominion Objectives. Topped it off with a Nightvault warband. Yoohoo! This is the first time I passed the 30 miniature mark without a huge influx of terrain that took multiple months to finish. 

I'm 31 miniatures down (assuming 30 minis a month), but I started 20 minis down when I took this challenge ... so I don't think I'm doing too bad. I am finding that I'm getting slowed down due to assembly, since I've worked through most of the miniatures that I pre-assembled.
