Warhammer Underworlds: Eye's of the Nine

Another Underworlds warband, this time it's the Eye's of the Nine. Painted using the same system I used on my other Tzeentch Karic Acolyte stuff. I like the 2 Acolytes and the Beastman, the other miniatures are okay.

2019 July Totals

It was a difficult month. Part of it was that I was just lazy, part of it was a bunch of little things kept coming up and prevented me from painting. In example, I dropped everything to finish my Everchosen entries and my AC broke making 90+ degrees inside. I spent too much time huddled in the cool basement until the sun set. Excuses over ... let's get to the list of things I (and my kids) finished.

• One Stormcast Knight Venator
• 5 Gryphhounds
• 4 Warhammer Underworld: Mollog's Mob (1 Troll, 3 Squiggly Beasts)
• 1 Display Board

I'm recommitting myself to get 30 miniatures painted in August.

July Totals: 11

2019 Totals: 148

Everchosen Display Board: "To the Victor..."

July hasn't been a great month for getting miniatures painted. So I'm going to count the display board I made for the Everchosen Open Event as single miniature! Woot!

I took the picture as I was dropping it off, so it's not against the usually white backdrop. All of the miniatures on it have already been seen on this blog, but not in this format.

The original plan was to pit all the Underworld's Stormcasts (Farstriders, Steelharts, & Cursebreakers) against all of the Greenskins (Zarbags, Ironskulls, & Mollogs), but I couldn't fit them all on the board I made. So I jettisoned the Trolls and the Varanguard.

Gryphhounds

Here are the first 5 of the 7 Gryphounds the kids and I are painting. The blue one (back right) was painted by the boy, the middle one (looks like a bald eagle) I painted, the remaining three were painted by the girl.

The two in the back (red with white head, and blue with blue stripes) the kids are entering into the Under 16 Everchosen event. I think they have a shot at winning!

Yes, I'm counting these toward my month totals. :-)

Stormcast Knight Venator

This will be/is my Everchosen entry. I wanted something that looked impressive, and the Knight Venator is one of the most impressive Stormcasts that fit the requirements on the contest. He's from one of the Silver Tower box sets, although honestly, he'd be pretty cumbersome to use in Silver Tower/Shadows over Hammerhal.

I won't post this until after the contest has occurred.

I mostly just followed my standard formula for Stormcast's of the "Knights of Sigmar's Temples".

He looks good from a distance, but some of the fine details are a bit patchy. The wings were done using thinned down contrast paint [basilicus grey over admin grey, with dry brushes of pallid wych flesh and white scar white and guilliman blue in the recesses]. Maybe I shouldn't have done such deep shading on them. A pastel look might have come out better. I'm going back and forth on that. As always, edge lining wasn't perfect either (although I like to think I'm getting better at that). I think the bird came out well and makes for an interesting color contrast to the main model!

Here's hoping I do well.

Warhammer Underworlds: Mollogs Mob

The pictures came out a bit dark, they are a bit more vibrant in reality. I got a little weary painting this Underworlds band. I kept getting distracted by real life, and if a project takes too long my interest will often waver. I usually like painting Trolls. I used some of the new Contrast paints on these (the blue is Ultramarines Blue, the stalactites and the belly was the Grey Contrast Paint ... although I still highlighted and both of them with lighter colors). Still not sure about them (although I bought a few more recently).

June 2019 Totals

Summer vacation getting in the way of painting and posting. This update is about a week late and 12 miniatures short.

Let's take a look at the minis painted in June:

• 2 Medium Air Elementals
• 2 Medium Water Elementals
• 3 Warhammer Underworlds: Stormsire's Cursebreakers
• 1 Stormcast Knight-Heraldor
• 9 Warhammer Underworlds: Zarbag's Gits
• 1 Lauchon the Soul Seeker

Here's hoping that July is better (but I suspect it won't be).

June Totals: 18
