September hobby update!

Seraphon September this month shall now be know as … I completed both the starblood stalkers and made significant progress on Lord Kroak himself. Also managed to get at least one game a week of Warcry or AoS, continued my online campaign of D&D with friends, and also managed to get in an in person game of D&D with folks. Hobby mental!

You can see a much more detailed run through of my efforts so far on Lord Kroak here:

But so far I am very pleased!

I also managed to have a crack at the Starblood Stalkers, as my friend wanted them for use in the Path to Glory campaign we are running: "Starblood Stalkers from the front"

Here are some more detailed shots:

Saurus

See my previous write up here Saurus with Contrast paints

Chameleon Skink

All of the above, except I used Plague bearer flesh for the skin.

Highlights

Usually i would stop there, but on these decided that for the heroes I would add some highlights to the skin to make it pop a little bit more.

Skink skin:

  • Highlight with Firedragon Bright, then mix with a little White and highlight further

Saurus Skin

  • Highlight with Temple Guard Blue, then further highlight with Ulthuan Grey

Baal Red

  • Hightlight with Wild Rider Red, then with Fire Dragon Bright

Path to Glory

This is now in full force, 4 weeks in and things have not gone well for my devoted Daughters of Khiane, a small victory for the warband have led to 3 defeats on the trot for the army. However, reinforcements have arrived and next time and suree things will go better!

D&D

My campaign looks likely to happen in November, so busily designing maps and making plans! We are just about to end our current campaign where my character has sadly died :( The final battle is retrieving her immortal soul from a vampiric frog who has hidden it in a demi plane! Fingers crossed!
