Skaven Plague Censer Bearer Champion (Alex’ Tale-of-AoS-Gamers Challenge)

Skaven Plague Censer Bearer Champion

What? Who has gamer ADHD? Yeah, well… today’s model is one that’s been serially neglected for a couple of years since I got it with a batch of models off of eBay. I unfortunately found this model and the other skaven of a similar nature complete motherfuckers to paint. The semi-furred style that replaces Jes Goodwin’s fully-furred skaven, combined with a fuckload of details just made this style of Skaven a nightmare to paint. It scrubbed up pretty well in the end and I’m pretty happy with the final results, but it wasn’t an experience I enjoyed or wish to repeat anytime soon. Or ever, to be more blunt.

Anyway, because reasons I’ll go into later one way or another, I didn’t manage to get any of the other models I originally hoped to completed for the very cool concept of growing a few small AoS warbands. I have the next batch of dark elves primed, as they have been for a couple of weeks now – and the beastmans shaman still sits untouched since January, and the next few savage orcs have had a small amount done to them, but we’ll have to see how April pans out. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get back into the swing of things.

Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault Arcane Hazards #3 – Complete! (February Terrain 2019)

Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault Arcane Hazards

Right at the very end of February, I managed to complete the final two pieces of the Nightvault Arcane Hazards. As in, this means that I actually managed to complete the whole box, assembled and painted. Holy shit! How did that happen?

The last two pieces are these – the fallen (Nagash?) skull-monument piece and the double-shattered pyramids with the ghostly ectoplasm-stuff running in-between them. I’m not super happy with how the ectoplasm turned out, but I have to say, it’s good enough for me at this point. I am pretty happy with how the sandstone-looking shattered Nagash-skull came out, though.

Still, another pair of pieces that will look good on a WH:Underworlds board, and also (mostly) fit into various Warhamer or Fantasy gaming tables.

I also realised that I never posted any scale pics with any of these, so I added in a couple of models to rectify this oversight. As you can see, they’re movement blockers rather than LoS-blockers, but that’s fine. They can certainly add some character to a battlefield!
