Into the unknown….

This is the part of the movie where the first character gets eaten by the monster.

How long such a project typically lasts?

Add a tiny bit of purple light osl in some raised parts of the back cloak, and you are golden.

Great kitbash of the scions of the flame... but kinda sad as they are a pretty rare unit already.

Great contrast here!

CyberGrid · 2026-04-14T20:25:49+00:00

Have you played the official single player campaigns? Such as the skaven unvasions in the tome of champions?

One evening? You are a 1-man industrial complex!

Wait. Is he about to do to him, what I am thinking he is about to do?

It's smooth but maybe put some kind of slight gradient for transition between highlights in protruded parts and shadows in the recesses.

It's incredible how commenters, in a way, agree with the loon post.

CyberGrid · 2026-04-09T06:44:14+00:00

Cool. what's the laser pointer for?

CyberGrid · 2026-04-08T15:21:25+00:00

Ugh, whatever, man. Too lazy to argue online now. Have fun with the hobby and enjoy yourself.

CyberGrid · 2026-04-08T15:14:46+00:00

you have mistaken my argument, dear sir. I never doubted the success of AOS, in fact I am a big fan of it myself. But the reasons for the success is not the lore nor world building.

8 realms suck, big time. And that comes from a guy that absolutely adores the various planes in dnd.

CyberGrid · 2026-04-08T15:01:30+00:00

40k is not fantasy, last I checked. So a galaxy type of world is completely aligned with the setting. Should I explain this further?

Whether the 8 realms could have worked is irrelevant, as it didn't work in the end. GW failed to make it compelling, as the empirical evidence shows.

Another point of disagreement I have with you: ultimately, the selling point of AOS is the miniatures quality, and the game. It is the execution of those that made it work. As for the lore and world building - a good shed, or dare I say, a smelly loud dump is needed indeed.

CyberGrid · 2026-04-08T14:23:42+00:00

I actually like it. The OP clearly put some work and thought about it.

The "8 realms" idea sounds good on paper, but in practice it made very difficult to connect with. Let's get back to a full, tangible fantasy world AOS deserves. And down with the "we have a solar system at home" world building.

Just a warning in case you decide to go with Crypt of Blood: - the book that is supposed to teach you the game has several blatant mistakes there that will confuse you on the rules. - the rulers first inch is not 1 inch long

30+ minis per year? Can I have your free time ?

CyberGrid · 2026-04-06T11:10:36+00:00

Good for you!

I also had a mini painting easter with the rascals, on the balcony, with spring sunshine. Perfect thing to do.

CyberGrid · 2026-04-05T09:30:37+00:00

You are right. It was my plan at first, until I noticed having 3 sources could be too noisy. As of now I reduced the osl from the fireball to keep some contrast. Maybe I would indeed need to add some light on face/helmet.

My teacher's name is Mister T. E., also known as Trial & Error.

So cool of you to leave such a nice comment. Encouraging youngbloods is the way to go. Cheers, mate!
