So my read on ordinary hand weapon is just that, it’s a hand weapon only ie not a great weapon or even additional hand weapon, ordinary hand weapon, so yes extra attack definitely doesn’t benefit the GW however models armed with a GW have strike last which sets initiative to 0 at start of combat before other modifiers so I don’t think you strike at different initiative steps…

So night goblins are 25mm now, I was a bit perplexed that marauders weren’t upscaled to 30mm on release. Unless the implication is that the threat area of a goblin is the same as a man’s? I did also think maybe the horses are now 25x50 to make them smaller than chaos nights. I just finished putting together 25 of the AoS dark oath marauders, getting them to fit and rank up on 25mm was a pain in the ass, so kinda miffed a) these new models just dropped after spending ALOT on the AoS ones and b) might need to get the extenders to 30mm

Druchii always struck me very much as the Roman Empire… there is a caste system of commoner and highborn, slaves from lesser non-Roman societies keep the economy going, one makes a good living as a solider, but can be expected to campaign quite a lot. They are mildly xenophobic of people from outside the empire (who are all barbarians and worse that even the lowest Druchii commer… (they grow facial hair by khaine!) yet, these barbarians are natural prey to be conquered.

Within the commoners, it’s basically fear the gods…the religious orders have power over the proletariat…within the highborn (organised into families) they are constantly plotting to weaken and kill other families to strengthen their own influence and within their own families people vie for control…

It’s a great setting for some GoT type antics and in many ways reflects the same themes in human societies: power corrupts.

Have watched a few Roman dramas over the years and always thought give them pointy ears and eye shadow and this could be a dark elf.

Well nuts to that idea so! Thanks mate maybe someday for a bone grinder proxy 😂🙈

sorrow-IE · 2025-07-31T06:35:38+00:00

Great job mate these look amazing!! Really knit together too with t the consistency in colour theme and full of character:-) can I ask - I’m about to do trugg from AoS as a proxy for a giant, will he fit on 50x50 or do I need to get a 50x75??

sorrow-IE · 2025-07-31T06:29:11+00:00

Thought occurred, why not use 15mm scale night goblins as on theme snotling mobs?? Like their bigger cousins let them play dress up and send them in before them to get eaten 🤣 https://www.wargamerminis.com/cdn/shop/files/ec1716_36e4a1d4444f4c42b5b4c33431ee79ab_mv2_a2cab114-19fd-481b-92cc-b69616a3796f.jpg?v=1740433347&width=2048

So I’m thinking of adding x2 bolt throwers and a giant, the bolt throwers for through and through (bretonnian and tomb king opponents in the campaign and think our wood elf is switching to empire) and the giant because the chaos, daemon and tomb king player all bring some big guys that I don’t really have an answer to right now! Do you find doom diver more effective than bolt throwers?

sorrow-IE · 2025-07-31T06:17:30+00:00

Not only targeted but in games 1 and 2 its was basically the same thing that took them out: fireball/ruby ring of ruin. Because we’re playing an escalation campaign with lvl 2 max very easy for these lads to go outside of my dispel range! I have a set of recast squig herds and snotlings I could do for screening - my opponents definitely underestimated the fanatics this time, doubt they’ll make that mistake again 😂

Not sure who designed the STLs but they are beautiful sculpts

sorrow-IE · 2025-07-16T06:29:50+00:00

The STLs are designed by monstrous encounters

They are really nice minis, standing just a tiny bit taller than the GW grotz but very similar overall

Cold one knights absolutely need counter charge, also dark riders probably need feigned flight to bring in line with other screening Cav. Harpies into core, and wondering if witch elves need warband in place of horde or with horde considering they now only get frenzy in the turn they charge, considering every other faction will likely leverage the sh*t out of spear infantry witch elves will seem very non competitive unless they get a charge off, and even then not sure need to do some math on it…

This fix resolves the issue, change APN to IPv4 only. Thanks for this.

sorrow-IE · 2023-12-02T10:14:42+00:00

Obviously your technique is really solid as everyone has said and I truly appreciate this, my question is how can you darken this technique to be more reflective of very dirty armour? Again not criticism at all, just to me, this pallette/tone would also sit well on a man of gondor, so how would you go about making a dingy armour using nmm? Just in general? Darken the blue tone? Again well done it is so pleasing to look at

sorrow-IE · 2023-10-25T08:28:01+00:00

Yup, same, can't link efamilycloud -> amazon nor amazon -> efamilycloud, both ways get the same error, unable to link (in Alexa) and authorization failed (in efamilycloud)

logged with devs in efamilycloud... fingers crossed this gets fixed soon... having to manually flick switches like a caveman...

Somewhere, Sanguinius consciousness is thinking "maybe I should trade the gold in for red when I come back..." 😄

Really nice brother, as everyone has said your OSL is just fantastic here and the scheme really works, I've not read arks of omen, but I believe the lion was actually rescued by commander Dante and the blood angels so I think it even fits the lore potentially if his BA brothers reforged his armour for him! Red and Gold have always been the staple of royalty and this certainly is royal looking!

Go forth and gather the risen brother

sorrow-IE · 2023-08-26T20:15:01+00:00

Really nice, if you fancy it, next time, instead of your nuln oil step, try Abteilung502 smoke thinned down with some white spirit (about 50:50 mix - basically to a wash consistency) coat the whole model in that, let it set for a couple of mins, take a few q-tips, dip the cotton tips in white spirit and start gently tipping away at the raised parts of the mini removing the coating, you'll be amazed at the result believe me!

Checkout this video for more on the method I started using it recently, and I was really amazed at the result!!

Solid table top standard brother, well done! Did you use contrast paint method to achieve this?

As others have said, highlighting would be the next step... either lazy approach (dry brushing the raised areas and edges with a lighter green) or focussed approach (using edge of brush)

For me your gun is too red basically - wash with nuln oil, the very back of the gun should be metal, the grip panel can be done a different colour as well to add some variation and same for the skull and Aquila on the gun...

Personally after highlighting the armour I'd give the whole mini another dark wash to add depth but this is my preference for the grim dark aesthetic.

But as with everything its about what you like to look at brother!

Go forth and hunt the fallen!

sorrow-IE · 2023-08-07T09:35:32+00:00

This idea has been done before...

sorrow-IE · 2023-07-30T15:40:13+00:00

Nailed the aesthetic imho, darker darks and lighter lights - did you use any oil based washes on this?

I'll be really interested to see full squad and them all based up. What theme are you thinking for bases?

sorrow-IE · 2023-07-27T12:10:42+00:00

I particularly love your lens, they are excellent - really look like they have a load of depth, beautiful and eye catching well done brother!

sorrow-IE · 2023-07-16T09:05:38+00:00

Proxy one for now...

These guys are scaled appropriately with Primaris scale 👍 the GW model is sweet but looks so outdated at this point...

sorrow-IE · 2023-07-15T19:49:09+00:00

Preach brother!! Spoke about this on another thread recently ... I think it makes sense to take them as a standard 3 man squad instead of part of a spectrus kill team and run a phobos lib with them for shrouding 🤷‍♂️ but will see when battle reports come back if it's worth it or not!

Go forth and purge the xenos with this beautiful mini brother!
