Had an amazing weekend at the Shadowcon narrative event for AoS, five great games against lovely people, and lots of fun solving puzzles and trading relics. #ShadowCon25
My Seraphon army on its display board. They are painted in a pink and blue colour scheme with white cobblestone bases. My Slann starmaster model. The Slann has been replaced with a Tzeentch wizard holding a frog mask in front of his face. He is posed in front of a ziggurat terrain piece. A photo of one of my games. Three skeletons are standing in the arch of a bridge terrain piece. A photo of one of my games. An aggradon lancer is facing off against a wolf rider.

Spent some time this week revisiting some of my fyreslayers, which were the first army I painted for AoS, and refreshing the basing and some of the highlights. First time I've gone back to an old paint job, but I'm much happier with them now.
A magmadroth and some hearth guard berserker models from Games Workshop. The magmadroth is painted bright orange. Two magmadroths and some hearth guard berserker models from Games Workshop. The magmadroths are painted in a red and green colour scheme.
