    A shameless xpost from another thread but I wanted to share the results of playing with my airbrush and seeing the results of a cool metallic paint over large flat panels.

    Here I’ve got the Redemptor Dreadnought covered first with Mr. Color Ueno Black, a very good gloss primer, that I thinned with the corresponding product from the same company. After the model sat for a little and dried, lacquer dries quite fast compared to acrylics, I then hit it all with MIG Ammo’s Bluish Titanium. That smeared a little on the glove as I tried to gingerly move the model during my basecoat phase. I’ve worked with this series of paint before and when they state leave it for 24hrs to dry completely they mean it. This means I have some time before I drop a layer of Warhead Metallic Blue over it with some masking for effect and the first gloss coat. I’m thinking of going back with silver and a brass layer before the panel lining and final gloss coat before soing the base.

    I’ve made more progess on my Hobby Weekend Start Collecting project.  Only one model to go now, but it’s the big one.

    With Kings of War getting a third edition in a few months I am getting some of my partially finished projects done, ready for the new rules. Right now it is all about my dwarfs. I’ve got an Army Standard Bearer carrying a Boomstick, a Berserker Lord on Brock, and the last two members of my second Ironguard Regiment.

    I was able to finish up a classic chief librarian tigurius just in time for the new one to come out.

    Nurglings, taste the rainbow pestilence 🙂

    Far too many wee mistakes and missed bits but they will do for now.

    Super colourful and makes me think they belong in Jim Henson’s Nurgle.

    20190827_00053820190827_00044020190827_000516had a bit of a repaint of my original spires for conquest.

     

    At one time these wore 100% bone mold armour. The insect like chitin effect courtesy of greenstuffworld colorshift toxic purple has not only given me inspiration to write lore for my Spire but also the lore has in turn inspired me to snow flock the bases.

     

    I think I can finally stop tinkering with the colour scheme now and finally get the 100 or so plastic models I have waiting to build (SHAME! SHAME!) to add to these resin prototypes.

     

    Anyway… the fluff..

    Kchoat’lis – The Hive Spire!

    “Where did you hear that name boy?

    Kchoat’lis? I’ve not heard that word since I were just a boy. My grandfather liked to scare us with silly stories.

    Kchoat’lis was first named when the Old Dominion was young. A name, a word that has survived the ravages of time in stories used to terrify hardened soldiers about the camp fire.
    Tales tell of the Kchoat’lis beetles. Predatory insects, the size of men that swarm and consume as locust! From the great Hive Spire.

    Sure, there were truths to the tale. Half truths and exadurations.

    The Kchoat’lis Hive Spire stands high upon the mountains of the dying lands. No man alive claimed to have travelled there but it is clearly visible from the North Dominion. In the evenings twighlight, huge clouds of creatures… surely bats or swallows in migration, could be seen billowing like plumes of smoke in the far distance.

    During The Fall, it was said that The Hive erupted like a Hornets nest kicked by a fool!
    My old man swore that the tales were true. That our ancestors who crossed the wastelands not only fled the devastation but also from great swarm of Kchoat’lis. Some the size of men but others like towering monsters!

    Hahahaha! The look in your eyes boy!”

    The Spire Lords of Kchoat’lis are true indeed. As are the huge insect that inhabit the region but the size of a man, they are not. Maybe a small dog at the largest! Their citadel, seated high in the dying lands mountains survived The Great Dragon Wars and lay dormant for millennia. For the mountains were rich in biomass. Thousands of tonnes of insect biomass. The stock was rich, strong and responsive to phenomenal command, leaving few reasons to meddle in the world of men that had developed around them.

    Until the cataclysm. The realm of men had brought a destructive force upon themselves. The Hive responded just like the old tales tell… swarms of man size creatures. Man shaped insects with dagger like claws. Drones wrapped in chitinous armour with claw like blades, flooded the lands and defended The Hive with ravenous instincts.

    The aftermath of The Fall was suffered by the delicate balance of life around The Hive. A winter eternal. In just 5 spawning cycles, most of the insects of Kchoat’lis were all but extinct.
    The realms of men, through their ignorance, through their arrogance, had cost the Kchoat’lis Lords greatly.

    A price man would suffer as long as the world must suffer man!

    (I’m not a writer by a long shot and that was mostly made up on the spot)

    Working my way through my Mythic Battles Kickstarter Pledge and have just opened a new project to keep it all in. While it’s a little behind, here’s some of my stuff so far.

    Got the Shattered Stormvault terrain kit done for Warcry. A few details here and there I guess I need to fix. But overall it’s a great kit.

    Two converted Evocators to go with the squad of three that came with the Soul Wars box, even though the army book has the minimum at five.

    Makes me wonder what Nighaunt units in the box set are below minimum size…
