First time using 3D printed bits from the amazing Make It Epic basing.
Basing really is where the best story telling happens.
Much coral. Very reef.

Ohhhh that would be amazing! I have the Vhordrai model. I converted my dragon to be an Iridan the Witness for my Stormcast, but magnetised it all so that it could also be a Vhordrai but I had attached the riser to the seat so just need that part!
(I just followed you if that helps with a DM)

Good haul from Warhammer World this weekend. 1st place Favourite Army, 5th place Best General (4-1) and Best Stormcast.
Having to lug this big metallic Stormcast art home (was the prize for Best Painted 🤷♂️)
Most importantly, as always, 5 amazing games and lots laughs with friends old and new.

Yaeraggh, Grand Matriarch of the Attendant Amora...
I went with halo #4 in the end because it fits the theme best and also I enjoy the juxtaposition of it's delicacy against the necrosis of the beast.

Okay chat, help a brother out and vote for the best halo for Yaerragh.
She's the Grand Matriarch of the Attendant Amora, so there is no saving the best for someone else. She gets her pick, which is right choice...

Finally I used the new Villiany Inks range to give everything this dark and grimey finish, which hopefully makes everything appear like it's from the same place and that the characters have spent a long time there.
I am really happy with the results and it's been such a fun project to work on.

I then used Scale 75 Black leather, which is a super desaturated purple, which touched every model as shading on both the models and the bases to give the impression that each model is being touched by the same eerie light of The Deepwood.

I hadn't even heard of the game before the commission but after reading up on it I got this image of The Deepwood in my head and wanted to create this super moody atmospheric feel so I used a super limited pallet of 9 or so colours that I then mixed up depending on the character or the the creature.

Just finished painting up tha fantastic. board game Oathsworn: Into The Deepwood.
These are the 12 PCs but the really interesting bit of this game is the sealed and number encounter boxes that you don't open until the story demands it, so each one is a surprise!

Ohhhh hahaha. Well, that is exactly right. They are orcs riding pigs from Warhammer, Age of Sigmar—the fantasy variety. It's a faction called Ironjawz. Big armoured orcs that sometimes ride pigs, except the boss who rides a giant cabbage. Here's the cabbage I painted for reference.
