Conjuring up more wickedkin
Starting to build some models to flesh out the Warband. Contrast paints were used same as before. BA red, Templar blk, Basil. Grey, Gryphound orange, Skeleton bone . I had some yellow left over from the previous lightning effect and decided to use it on the Flamebearer’s flames. Bases are cork and hot glue.
Getting a Start
I’m still getting a feel for which units and how many of each I will want to run in my Warband which I’m naming “The Nasty burn”. I got started by building and the resins first. I finished the Sudductress. She was a great quick easy build with minimal clean up. I mounted her with a paper clip pin on cork. She was primed with Citadel Wraith Bone. Wings based coated with Reaper Monarch purple, I applied a wash of thinned Contrast Black Templar on top. Then thinned the monarch with Reaper white wet blended on the wings upward. Last highlighted wings with a small amount of white. Based coated body and head with Contrast Blood Angles Red highlights of Citadel Pink horror , Hair more Contrast Black, Reaper Stone grey highlight, I gave her spider eyes using Reaper black and white. What little clothes she is wearing Contrast Black, Reaper Stone highlight. Armor Contrast Nazedreg Yellow with Reaper Ancient bronze highlight. Her weapon I tried the non metallic metal approach. Contrast Basilicanum grey, highlighted with Reaper weathered stone and white. I put hot glue on her base molded a bit with a sculpting tool. Quick base coat of wraithbone, layer of Reaper explosive orange, washed with thinned Contr. Blood Angels red. Highlights of Reaper yellow and white. I tried a light effect on the bottom of the Stone, wings ,and some clothing using Lahmian medium some of the same orange and yellow mixed.
Our Club, My Story
What’s Up Gamers, I’m Matty, San Francisco based Metalhead and Wargamer. I belong to a great little club in California, USA called Bay Area Kings of War or BAKOW to us local Heroes and Fiends. Mantic Games has chosen our great little club for the Your Club, Your Story promo. Our club spanses quite a bit of cities in the San Francisco BA peninsala but, us in the heart of the city of San Francisco love Vanguard. We have a pretty regular turn out for Skirmishes of Vanguard at our LGS Gamescape in San Francisco typically organized by our local Rules guru/ Cat herder Bart. I personally ran a introduction games ay Kublacon last May. Our club ran and completed our first successful Vanguard campaign where everyone really pulled together and created a great experience. I have to say for participation, enthusiasm and creativity Mantic made a great choice choosing our club. Props to Price for contacting Mantic. The project will chronical the building selecting of my Warband, and misc. supporting terrain. The preparation of Warband as we ready our club BAKOW for the upcoming Ice & Iron campaign, and battle reports and progress through the campaign. On to the good stuff. With my interest in the darker sides of the Fantasy fight over good and evil I’m stoked to have received a free new Warband for Vanguard. I have chosen the Abyssal faction for its Evil aesthetics and Metal as fu@k attitude. I’m really looking forward to the leaping firebolt of the Flambearers for additional range, Succubus with Fatal attraction -1 for enemies melee rolls, and the Imps 3 wound grunts. The leadership, support, and warriors are hard hitting , some well armored and with regeneration as well. Faction specific spells that auto hit with slim chances of avoiding the effects. Torment suffering mental anguish, or Immolation continuing fire attack. Sadistic and wickedly entertaining. The summer is gonna end in a real heat spell when my Abyssals hit the table. Thanks, Mantic, Bart, and Price.
