Grimghast finished! Time to get the guts up to actually work on the characters.

Really pleased with how I've improved on doing the blue blend for the spirits as shown on the foremost reaper here.Really pleased with how I've improved on doing the blue blend for the spirits as shown on the foremost reaper here.

Dreadwarden and sword-wielding Chainrasps

So I split off the batch of sword-wielding Chainrasps, since I’ve been doing all the swords in the same bronze/verdigris style. Same for the leader of the unit, the Dreadwarden and his candelabra topped staff. Also, the one mace armed Chainrasp, that I managed to somehow miss from the earlier batch. The only one missing from this unit now is the alternate Dreadwarden, presumably, so you can run it as two 10 model units rather than a single 20 model unit. It will get done before I’m finished though!

Batch painting again, probably more or less the same scheme as the rest of my Night haunts, just a few tweaks for the differences on these.

Another amazing stream, so much fun and fascinating conversation. The painting competition was awesome, and hearing the thoughts of the judges as well as seeing the fabulous miniatures was fascinating. I do think it’s a shame we didn’t see more hobby, as I think one of the best things about HNL is the feeling of hanging out with everyone in the community and at BoW HQ, as everyone shares their projects. So I think it was difficult to find enough air-time, even in such a long stream, to cover both areas. Still, I am sure we will get another HNL before too long, and we can all share some more hobby.

 

I am always impressed with how fast people can get stuff down over an evening. @ajhawes and I were not quite so fast. Much as I feel like I am progressing through the Nighthaunts quickly overall, tonight I managed to just do the basic stages of a batch paint on the remaining Chainrasps and their Dreadwarden leader.

First batch (and the largest) of Chain Rasps done. Still, need final basing and probably some minor error correct. I will be moving on now though to the Dread Wardens and the smaller batch of sword-wielding Chain Rasps.

Here is the Guardian of Souls for the Nighthaunts. Wanted to try out the nihilakh oxide technical paint to give a verdigris effect on the Guardians bronze/copper lantern and sword.

Wasn’t too sure about fiery jaw/chin piece in the official paint scheme, so went for a more bloody look.

Whilst the Nighthaunt overall in the Soul Wars boxset managed to stay together nicely even with tiny contact points, I did manage to break this guys sword arm, so it looks little incorrect here.

Quite like how the plume on the lantern has turned out with it's blue glaze.Quite like how the plume on the lantern has turned out with it's blue glaze.
