Warzone: Resurrection - Two new limited edition books

Prodos Games announced two limited edition books yesterday, one is for about the Imperial Corporation is on 84 pages in full color. Of course you will have all the rules in there as well as background, new artwork etc. You can find it here. There is just 132 copies left when I checked one minute ago, so if you want one you better get it asap!


The other one is Heroes of the Solar System, which is the same as the PDF with rules to customize your heroes as well as rules for new units for all the Corporations and Dark Legion. This is book is 40 pages and in full color as expected, you get new artwork and fiction in this book, not sure if there is any new rules apart from the ones in the PDF though. This book is also Limited Edition, and only 145 copies left last time I checked. You can find the book here.



I have ordered both of them already of course, together with some new models for Imperial and Dark Legion.

Imperial Life Dragoons looks just like they should, totally awesome models!
Also purchased the imposing Praetorian Goliath, and his little....
friend, the Imp!
That's it for now, both books arrives end of September so looking forward reading the books and put together the models.

News: Games Workshop to come out with Airbrush paints

We have heard the rumors, and GW is finally getting their own Airbrush paint range. But.... just as with the Forgeworld Airbrush paints they are still not in dropper bottles. Crazy! I have a lot of Vallejo Air and Game Air and really like them, nice consistency and you don't have to dilute them just drop it into your airbrush and go.

Hopefully the GW colors will be the same, well accept the fact that you can't just drop into your Airbrush, you must either use an pipette or an brush to get it in. Why?!? In my mind dropper bottles are superior in every single way, and for Airbrush paints a nobrainer. Well well at least we have the alternative now.

I often use GW paints in my airbrush but I need to dilute a lot at least the new paints saves us that step.

Miniature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Lord-Celestant on Dracoth

The Miniature Monday curse does it's job still... Well, for you who don't now, I often want to show a new finished model each Miniature Monday. Everything is done, then something happens. Computer crashes, I drop the model and his head fell of, suddenly you can't take decent pictures, kids can't sleep etc etc. Well this day was one of those, the battery in my camera went low, and I can't find my charger!

I took some pics before, they didn't get that great though so this one without full focus will have to do for today, promise to take more and better pictures tomorrow! If I can just find that damn battery charger....


News: Stormcast Eternals Celestant Prime pictures! Updated!

More stuff for the Stormcast Eternals, the Celestant Prime is even wielding the Ghal Maraz itself into battle, and would probably be a beast in combat (and from the looks of it he is probably some kind of spellcaster as well)

Awesome miniature, and I will love to paint these fella up. Even if this miniature is the most unique looking for the Stormcasts so far I still think they all look so similar. Would love them to get something else (normal humans maybe having some kind of warmachine or something). But other than that I really like the look of this one, a mini Sormcast version of Nagash.

Got these pics via Faet212 and Plastic Krak.

UPDATED! I also found the Warscroll for him, he not a wizard but have some quite interesting rules. Pic is further below. Via Atias War of Sigmar.

My Warriors of Chaos army - Last time on squares

This is sad and exciting at the same time, here are the last shots on my fully Warriors of Chaos before moving on to round and oval bases for Age of Sigmar.

It's sad because I have always loved how big blocks of troops looks, and I have to cut these up as I want to keep the actual terrain on the bases as much as possible.

But it's also exciting, I'm really digging AoS. I like the simple rules, the warscrolls and so on. If you don't? Well we all have different taste, but this is a resurrection for me and my closest friends who now actually want to get involved into the game and build their armies. This is the most important bit for me.

Also, as I rebasing my troops I will also touch up the paint jobs on some of them. Most of them look good as they are but some minor tweaks here and there as well as adding some extra details to the bases. Because now they are seen much more and often you get some extra room on the bases as well.

And before some of you yells, you don't need to rebase becasue you can use squares on AoS, as well as 8th, Ninth Age and whatever. You are totally right, I don't need to do it. But I will play much more AoS than 8th and I don't know If will ever play Ninth Age, or even KoW.

And while playing AoS on squares works fine, it does not look good aesthetically for me. And I think that all this jazz about measuring from the closest point of the model is just a transition phase, and we will see official base sizes on rounds and ovals in the future.

Also rounds have some advantages of squares in my mind. First, it frames individual models better. And second, a unit of five normal infantry for example didn't look like a full unit or take even an odd number like 7-8, 13-14, I hated when an rank wasn't complete. If you now field an unit of 13 models in a unit, it does look better and more like an full unit of models. It might be just me, but that's what I think. And third, you don't need to think about their poses so they can rank up. Love this.

Anyway, I'm slowly going to rebase these guys. So here's last pictures showing all of my painted WoC models on squares.

Age of Sigmar: Lions of Sigmar Plog Part 1

So I figured I could do a painting log on the different projects I do currently. And the one thing that is keeping my hobby time occupied right now is my Stormcast Eternals from the AoS starter box.

As you can see in the title, I'm painting them up as Lions of Sigmar, but that is just luck really because I thought out this color scheme when I first saw the first leaked images of the Stormcast Eternals. I always liked painting purple and thought it would look nice with a bright bronze armor, also it's an little homage to my old Ostermark Empire army.

Anyway, if you have followed my blog in past you might already know Iv'e finished some miniatures, first five Liberators among with their pal from White Dwarf for a total of six Liberators. I then wanted to try out some airbrushing on the Prosecutor wings so finished one of them up as well. Right now I'm working on the Lord-Celestant, which is taking a lot of time for me to paint up, but I want him too look as good as possible as it's really an awesome looking centerpiece for the army.

If you want to know how I painted these, Iv'e made an tutorial on how I painted the Liberators, and those colors are used on all the army so far. Tutorial can be found here.


Here's how the small army looks at the moment, quite a lot more to do but it's nice to see they are shaping up. Also reinforcements are on the way, one box each of Judicators, Paladins, Liberators, Lord-Celestant on foot and one Lord-Castellant with his Gryphound. I also ordered the new books, and some of the nice terrain so looking forward to see all that when it arrives.




As you can see above I have come pretty far with the painting on my Lord-Celestant. Such an awesome model so want to take my time painting him up. Really fun so far painting him.



My six finished Liberators, the rest I'll save for last of the Stormcast Starter contents as I want to paint up the rest of the bunch first.


And here's my first finished Prosecutor. Happy with how it turned out and I will finish the rest of the unit as soon as the Lord-Celestant is done. 

That's all for now, I will try to update this as often as I can. As always comments are much appreciated.
