My Soulbligt Gravelords/ AoS 3 Not-So-Hot Take

I've had my hands full working on a large scenery commission over the past few months, and I've let my weekly blog updates fall to the wayside as I focused most of my attention on that. I also found myself experiencing a fair degree of hobby paralysis– Not knowing what (if anything) I should work on; the new Soulblight Gravelords battletome was out and would soon be followed by the 3rd edition of Age of Sigmar. My initial take on the Gravelords was pretty hot, but now that some tima has passed and everything is out, along with the 3rd edition rules and the FAQ, I think I can look at it with a clearer head.

 

Terrain Showcase: The Tombs of Tithing

It's been a long journey, but the Tombs of Tithing are finished at last:

 

New Camera and Scenery Turntable

Despite my best efforts to remain a luddite, the universe has finally forced me to join the 21st century and get a smart phone. My old camera had terrible resolution, with dead pixels all over the place, and since wireless companies are disabling 3G cell towers, my old phone was becoming noticeably less functional by the day. So, I got a new smart phone that actually works, with a camera that's light years better than my Olympus C-4000 Camedia. (Rest in peace, old friend.)

I can also shoot proper video now, and one thing I've wanted to do for a while is film rotations of my scenery and models. I picked up this turntable at the hobby shop:

 

Painted Objectives and Scenery

This week, I made some progress on the Cursed City objectives, and on my Tombs of Tithing scenery:

Obligatory Cursed City post!

 

Project Log: The Tombs of Tithing, Part 13

I haven't had much time to work on personal projects lately, but I took a moment to finish off the small tomb. Here's a look:

 

 

FINALLY!!!

This morning, Games Workshop previewed the models some of us have been waiting literally 20 years for...

 

Detailing the Dreadnought's Arms

This week, I finished up the dreadnought conversion:

 

Big, Boxy Dreadnought Arms

I like my dreadnoughts to be big, hulking blocks of metal. To that end, I've been converting the Primaris dreadnought into Mark V-style armor. In the previous post, I had rebuilt the shoulder armor. Now it was time to frame out the arms.

Building the Dreadnought's Armor

I made a little more progress on my Primaris-scale Mark V Dreadnought, building up the sarcophagus and the shoulder armor.
