In March, aside from painting CMoN models, I also did a small amount to keep chipping away at the Endless Spells boxed set for Age of Sigmar by completing a seriously simple piece – the Emerald Lifeswarm!
I guess my Emerald Lifeswarm worked out a little more Teal than Emerald – but in my defence, I was only reminded of the proper name for the thing just now when putting this post together, and it was entirely absent from my brain while I was painting the thing.
It didn’t take too long, and it turned out decently enough for my taste. Sure, I could have spent a lot more time on this thing and had it come out better, but it’s another perfect example of “good enough” for the sculpt – One more done, one more closer to done for this box!



Nice! This is one that I’m chipping away at, too. The Lifeswarm is one I did the other year. Yours looks good!

Thanks mate! Sadly I really identify with your verbiage there about models I painted “the other year” instead of “the other day”! 😮

Looks good mate – suitably swarmy & magical!

That’s a great color choice for these bugs, I reckon. Which faction or factions use this spell? The only obvious fit I can think of would be Sylvaneth but I wouldn’t shocked if my guess is wrong!

Thanks Kuribo!
You know, I’m not actually sure! This came out in that initial boxed set of the Endless Spells, so I think it may have been considered generic on release, but GW makes so many changes in their games that it could be anyone (or no-one!) by now!

I don’t think going into more detail would’ve made it better actually. The color throughout gives it a more otherworldly feel, which makes it stand out as a spell effect. Nice work!

Thanks Faust – that’s a very good point that you make there – and not just because it justifies me not doing more to the model!

I think the colours work well for the spell mate, a cross between magical, and natural.
