Earth Elemental

I summon an Earth Elemental! The painting is done on this "dude", it took less than an hour to paint him (more time was spent waiting for the wash to dry). It was sometimes difficult to determine which part of him is stone vs. dirt, so I tried to make it seem like he's wearing vaguely stone armor.

I plan on treating him the same as the base wrt adding tuffs of grass & turf. That should give him some more color. He's an Earth Elemental, so that seems appropriate to me.

Deep Ones

Some Bones Deep Ones. I impulse bought these awhile back, and then impulse painted them (they were on the table ready to go after I finished the last set of Silver Tower minis). There's 2 pieces of terrain that go along with them. Both are Cthulhu-esque Statues and Pillars. Those are painted as well, but I didn't get them pictured.

BTW, I've practically finished the Silver Tower project. The girl needs to finish painting the Mistweaver, everything else is painted and ready for basing.

Devoted of Sigmar: Excelsior Warpriest

I have to admit, I had no idea what this guy was actually called. I always thought of him as a "Sigmarite Priest", but it turns out he's an "Excelsior Warpriest".

He's painted for Warhammer Quest: Silvertower. The boy plays him in our campaign. At some point he might end up in a Free Peoples army.

I know I always say this, but he was alot of fun to paint. I painted him in about two sessions.

Stormcast: Lord Castellant

The Stormcast Lord Castellant from Shadows of Hammerhal. This might be the last Stormcast I paint for awhile. I have a few more Stormcast from the original Age of Sigmar starter set, but I they currently aren't on the paint schedule. It's painted in the Red & White of my own Chamber: The Order of Sigmar's Temple.

Shadespire: Magore's Fiends

Wow! Another Shadespire warband painted. That was fast! It's almost as if I painted them at the same time as The Farstriders!

The colors are almost the same as The Farstriders, the difference consist of the final highlight on the red being Trollslayer Orange, as opposed to Fire Dragon Bright Red, and the Gold was edge highlighted with Stormhost Silver. These also were a lot of fun to paint (although painting both warbands at the same time, made it feel like it took forever). It's the same color scheme I used on the Gorechosen I painted earlier.

This is the last Shadespire warband (until they release some for Version 2 of the game). I'm calling this project complete.

Shadespire: The Farstriders

Finished another Shadespire warband. This time it's The Farstriders. These were oddly fun to paint, and the edge highlighting makes them really pop. I basically follow the same painting guide I used for the Space Hulk Blood Angels I did earlier. Once more, they are members of the "Order of Sigmar's Temples", also known as the Templars.

Shadespire: More Terrain

Here's some more terrain for Shadespire. Like the previous column, all of this was printed on my son's 3d printer. I should have enough to fill an entire board. The printer is not big enough to make the bigger 3 hex terrain pieces, so I printed multiple 2 hex and 1 hex pieces and plan to use them together to make 3 hex obstructions.
