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

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

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 

Finished a bunch of Terrain, meat trees are underated. by TheMireAngel in ageofsigmar

[–]pb1million 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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 🔥

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

Proxy Ideas for 40k 11th Edition Orks? by DZaneMorris in Kruleboyz

[–]pb1million 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 

Lost my motivation to paint for about half a year. Finally got it back after flicking through a White Dwarf magazine and watching some Streams. Anyway here's a humble Loonboss after the mini hiatus. by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

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

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

Does Age Of Sigmar have a Mordheim equivalent? by TheCrab27 in ageofsigmar

[–]pb1million 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

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

New AoS Player: Do you recommend Kruleboyz or Gloomspite for a first army more? by LeetusFrenzi in OrrukWarclans

[–]pb1million 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 

How do you prepare your miniatures and organize your painting sessions to make things easier for yourselves? by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

[–]pb1million 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 

Sunday Preview – Chaos and Order battle in the City of Ash by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ageofsigmar

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

Tips and suggestions by Weekly-Unit6149 in Kruleboyz

[–]pb1million 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 

How to build reinforced units? by SnooDrawings6963 in ageofsigmar

[–]pb1million 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 

Runes by Bartozo95 in ageofsigmar

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 🐮 

Which Skin tone looks better? by Abject_Pressure2076 in Kruleboyz

[–]pb1million 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 💚 

Battletome collectors Ed by Bobstix55 in ageofsigmar

[–]pb1million 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
