Age of Sigmar: Malign Sorcery - Endless Spells: Malevolent Maelstrom

With the advent of Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery challenge rolling around again, I plucked this piece off the painting desk, buried in a pile of random things and decided to get it finished.

I’d given it a couple of thinned coats of Contrast previously, a greeny-blue of some sort on the ball and a bluey-green on the “flames and smoke”.

I took a look at the painted example of GW’s on their website and saw that they’d gone for essentially green and purple with their own scheme.

With that, I got some greens and purple paints and had a bit of a play with turning them into glazes of varying strengths and layering them over the contrast base to achieve something a little stronger than the typical contrast-only look. It was actually pretty relaxing in a lot of ways, and by the following afternoon (paint a bit, leave it to dry, do other things, come back later) the model just needed basing.

It kinda feels like I’m close to the end of this set, but when checking out the GW page for the box, it looks like I actually still have another 7 pieces still to build or paint – so 10 down, 7 more to go! Maybe I’ll get another one or two done before the Season of Scenery is done…

Age of Sigmar: Gloomspite Gitz - Endless Spells: Scuttletide

Another of the Endless Spells that has been sitting, half-done with some paint on it for an Endless amount of time today – the “Scuttletide” from the Gloomspite Gitz (or Night Goblins to you and me). As with the other endless spells I’ve finished recently, this one was started some significant amount of time ago, got delayed for whatever reason (most likely I got distracted and enthusiastic about some other thing – then shoved out of the way, put into a tub and then forgotten for several years

I went with a fairly bright scheme for the spiders here because I live with an arachaphobe, so they need to be unrealistic enough so that they can be on the table with Marouda playing a game. I mean, I’m not especially fond of the creepy little bastards myself, so this works as a game piece. I also dulled down the smaller ones with a few extra layers of wash because the whole piece was just a mess of visual noise, and now the larger ones do at least stand out a little. I also painted fake shadows on the undersides of their legs so that they look a litle more like legs as opposed to walls of plastic.

I didn’t have any painted goblin shamans handy for the size comparison pic (they’re all put away in a case somewhere), so you get a Savage Boyz Shaman instead!
