"BURN 'EM!!!"

 I've been mentioning these for a while now. Finally ready to show off the finished army of Dunlandings for Into The West.






The Wild Men form the bulk of the army, backed up by the Oathmaker should keep them in line. I'm expecting these guys to get carved up quickly, but if my opponents are focusing on them, that leaves better options else where.
Thrydan is a compulsory part of the army so no surprise he makes an appearance here. The banners however are just too good not to have in the force. The model is from Unreleased Miniatures and was just a really cool character piece for the army. The Huscarls are converted from basic Dunland warriors, with some extra armour with green stuff and some fur to bulk them up. The spiked axes were a complete rebuild and ended up slightly bigger than I was aiming for, but at least I won't lose these guys in a crowd.

Another Unreleased Miniatures piece, a feast of crows. Again, just a really great set piece that adds some height and drama to the over all army.

Finally, Though not part of the tournament list, I managed to get the remaining Dunland heroes painted along with the rest of the warriors. May try a different list in the future with these brutes instead of the Oathmaker. 


I still have Saruman and Grima that I want to get painted, but for now, I've got a bright yellow tank to finish.

Once More Around the Sun

 HAPPY NEW YEAR, FOLKS!!! I thought I'd kick off 2024 with a clearing off of the painting desk. The Dunlandings are all but done for next weeks tournament, Into The West, GW has dropped the pre-order dates for Warhammer: Old World, which is going to be a bit of a focus this year I hope, and I can wrap up 2023 with a finished model.

I've had this guy on the desk for most of this year. I bought him as the announcement about chunks of the Space Marines range were going out of circulation. As my Imperial Fists are built off the Heresy era armour and currently I don't run any Primaris, he was a last minute addition. The original model had different legs and made him look a bit short next to the rest of the beakies, so he was given a set of MK VI legs along with matching shoulder pads.



A great way to round out the year I feel. Currently finishing off the Dunlandings and making a start on a Rhino tank for the Fists. Going to be a busy hobby schedule I think.
