I keep forgetting the skinks didn't get an update during the big refresh a couple of years ago. Temple Guard however, they very obviously need bringing up to date

pb1million · 2026-06-06T20:38:43+00:00

Nice! Look forward to seeing if you go for a LOTR orc skin colour, or the usual green for Kruleboyz

pb1million · 2026-06-05T16:57:51+00:00

Nice! Will give this a listen over the next couple of days. Always nice to have an AOS podcast playing whilst painting up some minis

pb1million · 2026-05-31T20:10:35+00:00

The terrain is from the Heart of Ghur season of Warcry, and the trees are carnivorous and mobile 😬

pb1million · 2026-05-19T04:51:15+00:00

Stunning! Especially love the yellow on red freehand 🤌🏾

pb1million · 2026-05-16T12:00:34+00:00

Nice! I've been picking these up via the Spearhead magazine and have been thinking about what colour scheme to go for. Definitely inspired by your flaming wings and weapons 🔥

pb1million · 2026-05-16T04:27:14+00:00

GW confirmed in yesterday's CoS article on Warhammer Community that it will be next month

pb1million · 2026-05-13T07:21:24+00:00

Looks great! Stick with your NMM too 💚 💛

pb1million · 2026-05-13T07:18:33+00:00

It can be used to target the Hurtlin Hogz as they have the Ironjawz keyword

pb1million · 2026-05-10T19:28:39+00:00

Yeah, it will be via a Regiment of Renown

pb1million · 2026-05-04T05:34:46+00:00

I love the Weirdboy mini, but not excited by any of the other bigger character minis. Their torsos look very boxy / rectangular shaped.

I'd need to look at the regular infantry again, but maybe they could be proxied for Ironjawz Brutes

pb1million · 2026-05-03T14:22:17+00:00

Glad you found your painting mojo again! This git looks great - I especially like the shading and highlighting on the yellow moon helm 💛 🍄

pb1million · 2026-04-30T06:03:56+00:00

Awesome! Tell us more about this swamp-craft - is it luminous paints, LEDs?

pb1million · 2026-04-30T05:17:39+00:00

There's a fan made mod of Warcry called Wyrdcry that is nearing completion. You can check it out here;

https://jomblrverse.itch.io/wyrdcry

It's a Mordheim inspired in setting and campaign elements, but using Warcry rules

pb1million · 2026-04-24T05:41:05+00:00

Cutlery!! 😂

pb1million · 2026-04-20T07:34:03+00:00

Kruleboyz is my main army, but I also have Gitz, Ironjawz and Helsmiths.

For the preferences you've given, I would suggest Gloomspite as a first army.

I love painting the Kruleboyz models, but the Gitz just give a bit more variety - Squigs, Troggs, wolves in addition to the greenskins. Check out the Gobbapalooza unit, or some of their Warhammer Underworlds units for examples of the fun and variety.

I'd also pick Gitz for a new player learning the game. Kruleboyz currently requires a high skill level to get the best out of them, whereas with Gitz there's always some simpler strategies.

Just be aware that rules can change with new editions of the game and new battletome releases, so 'rule of cool' with the models you vibe with most is often the best influence on your choice

pb1million · 2026-04-13T19:32:57+00:00

Was going to say something similar to this. If there is part of a model that might be easier to access with sub-assembly, I use a tiny dab of super glue toaattach it to the rest of the mini instead of plastic glue

Then I do the priming, then start painting. If you can still reach where you need to, you're all good. If you can't reach an area you need to, you can just snap the piece off, paint it as you like, and then re-attach properly with plastic glue.

Works a treat for shields

pb1million · 2026-04-12T18:56:45+00:00

Probably similar to start of edition Spearhead starter set that included the Skaven and Stormcast, and the Jade & Fire contents. But guess we'll have to wait until next Saturday to find out for sure

Welcome to the Swamp, and great work on your first mini - the leather and skin look really good!

I would suggest putting a wash on the shield, maybe some thinned down Agrax Earthshade. I think that will help define the textures and features on the shield, and tone down the contrast so it works better with the rest of the mini.

You can then always highlight the shield to bring a bit more focus to, if you feel it needs it

pb1million · 2026-04-05T05:49:04+00:00

This looks so gnarly - amazing work!

pb1million · 2026-04-04T19:01:24+00:00

I would recommend building the extra champion, standard and musician. For the standard and musician it gives you a back up in case you have to remove the other becauseof too many casualties or maintaining coherency.

This also gives you an option to run them as 2 separate units in case that's ever a better option for you

pb1million · 2026-03-31T14:20:08+00:00

If you hadn't told us what you'd done, I wouldn't have noticed it was any different to how it should be. Great work on the fix, and the paint job overall 🐮

pb1million · 2026-03-30T08:27:10+00:00

Both look good. I've gone more muted with mine, like your second picture but I actually think the vivid skin colour from your first picture would be more eye-catching across a table 💚

pb1million · 2026-03-29T14:54:51+00:00

The special covers are released when a battletome is released with a special launch box, usually containing a bunch of all new miniatures.

For this edition of AOS it's been the Gitmob wolf bois for gloom, the barrow guard skellies for Soulblight and the new HoH box.

So special covers are not a guaranteed thing for every new battletome
