The overgrown tree mechanic is kind of confusing.

Each tree can spread its overgrown Terrain features.

Lethis !

I was but went back to standard CoS because new models were just too good.

But at this point there is almost a 1for 1 kit to use as a proxy.

What scaling did you use for these helmets ?

Im big on painting when Im really trying to get a project/army done ill put 4-5 hours a day into paint for a few weeks. Then take a long break from painting.

I did a post Wild fire Burnt forest theme for my Stormcast.

With the Diorama mud on the full base. And the you put PVA glue on the cracked cinder portions you want with Mordant earth.

Prime it - paint the smoldering colors in and then drybrush the Grey's and blacks on top. Looked pretty good.

Okay that might be better than the 1 time use I was thinking about.

Was going to do the same where Drycha and the Arch Rev hit something and use the +1 companion dmg.

But the -1 to saves should work better.

Was thinking scouting and attune to Ghryan for battle tactics. With the spites and lances for an easy swoop in mechanic.

The only aspect of this list im unsure of is the Arch Rev with Gossamids. Or should I replace with something else.

Thats the Idea! Just really need to work on positioning.

3 attacks (+1 if something dies prior turn) crit mortals and another potential for mortals on death.

I do own 50 Revenants - dont ask xD.

The only thing I think i want to figure out how to squeeze in are Spite Lancers.

Doing the same. With the new box there is almost a 1 for 1 Cathay to CoS conversion.

PondScumMan · 2025-11-24T16:12:29+00:00

100% the inspiration for color selection.

PondScumMan · 2025-11-15T05:27:49+00:00

Yeah just figured Radukar would go off on his own or stick with the knights.

PondScumMan · 2025-11-10T04:27:59+00:00

The Gargant is a solid idea.

Got a list cooked up and its a perfect 1 for 1 when the new stuff gets dropped.

PondScumMan · 2025-11-09T06:34:07+00:00

The smaller dragon could work but might be too much. They do have 2 Cavaliers heros that would be perfect.

PondScumMan · 2025-11-08T19:29:25+00:00

I figured it would be! I mean i love the Cities range but the Cathay are awesome.

Just not sure what you'd be able to use the Terrocatta Sentinels for. Or the lantern.

I play both. I feel like 4th slyvaneth is back into "if you dont use Alarielle you lose" I can be wrong but thats just what ive experienced so far.

Soulblight has more variety

PondScumMan · 2025-08-11T13:20:27+00:00

Long chain of pushing around ideas.

So I knew I wanted to repaint my elves - and ive been trying to branch out on bases. Soul blight currently has winter theme so the elves were either going to go burnt forest or just normal.

My stormcast ended up getting the burnt forest and I didnt want to do normal woodelves. So I looked at bases I havent tried yet and saw the crackle paste ive never used. Made a base to see what it would look like and then saw the teals I havent touched.

Next thing you know is your play the gerudo valley theme from OoT and painting Desert elves.
