Project Log: Warscryer Citadel, Part 8

It's been a while since my last update on the Warscryer Citadel project, but the painting portion is well underway. In this post I'll discuss my process for painting the stonework, rocks, and ground.

 

Necron Showcase, Part 2

In part two of this series, I'll show you the rest of my army, and talk about my plans for future expansion now that they've been awakened...

 

Necron Showcase, Part 1

My Necrons have awakened from their decade-long slumber, to once again set forth on their mission to scour all life from the galaxy. I've never posted any photos of my collection, so this seems like the perfect opportunity to show them off...

What's in the Project Queue, November 2018

Here's a look at the projects I've got on my painting table:

Converting Blood Knights

One of the pressing questions for many hobbyists building an Undead army, whether it's Soulblight, Legions of Nagash, generic Death, or even classic Warhammer Vampire Counts, is what to do for Blood Knights. The Games Workshop kit is a little pricey compared to many of their other cavalry model sets. At $100 USD for a 5-man unit, they are easily one of the most expensive units to field.

The Blood Dragon unit debuted in the 2008 Vampire Counts army book for the 7th Edition of Warhammer Fantasy. Since then I've been wracking my brain with how to convert unique Blood Knights that would look the part and (maybe) be less expensive. I found the solution, which I mentioned a few posts back, so here's a look at how I converted my Blood Knights:

 

Tools and Techniques: Making Rivets

I've been posting terrain tutorials for a while, but one of the things I tend to gloss over are the specific tools, and how they can be used to achieve different effects. There are also techniques like making foam stones and bricks that really deserve their own dedicated post. This is a new tutorial series called Tools and Techniques. Each post will focus on one tool or technique and how I use it in my scenery building process.

This week:

Progress at Last!

I've had a number of projects that were on hold because I was either waiting for a crucial part, or I had other things that needed to be finished first. With my banshee choir finally finished, I can move forward on those other projects...

The Choir of Death

The trio of banshees is finished at last! Here is their story, along with a look at how I converted the models:

The Burning Head

I just returned from a trip to Japan and the Philippines. The first model finished since I got back is the Burning Head endless spell:
