Obligatory Warhammer World pictures and painting competition

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've still got loads of posts to try and cover but not enough time to do it. A little round up of our jaunt to Warhammer World the other week. Legally obliged to do the Rhino tank shot, this time at night as we were leaving.

I loved this Legions Imperialis/Adeptus Titanicus board.

As much as we do OK with what we've got for AT, this is awesome.

Playable, but also cinematic.

The Tyranid infestation beach is cool too.

The mix of Warhammer terrain and Lotus seed pods are great.

Mixing that old skool terrain scratchbuild with the plastic [and resin] pieces.

Goblin Town MESBG board. I mean it's awesome but it makes me laugh how the goblin's struggle if they don't start on the platforms. Climb tests just to get onto them and jump tests to get down.

I had a cappuccino and a Stroopwaffel for lunch, followed by a Philly Cheese Steak Baguette for tea. The steak was great.

Wow, this Norn conversion was stunning.

While this Norn was a feast for the eyes.

Red Scorpions

Grey Knights

Krieg

Imperial Knights

Whatever these new High Elves are called.

Tzeentch

This kitbash was insane

As you can see how the scale of it easily dwarves the Pegasus/Sphinx model on the left.

Old Skool Orcs and Goblins.

Not sure what these are but they look impressive altogether

A simple pallete with just a splash of flame.

Night Goblins in orange cloaks

Like Hallowe'en Gobbos - the Pumpkin Horde 🎃

Meanwhile in Warhammer Liverpool they had some new models on display.

I wonder what you could use this for in a Death Guard Army and who you could mount on it?

And their new paint display so you can see how all the Contrast paints work.

Death Guard - Myphitic Blight Hauler - Nearly done

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on a Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler. And wow, I love this. It's practically done at this point, I just need to base, varnish and add any glossy and gore FX.

But it's nice to have a record before I do all of that [SPOILER ALERT: raw unvarnished pics look better]

Everything about this thing is awesome. The fact it's £18.50 direct from GW. How easy to build it is. The paint job I coaxed out of it and its rules are absolutely fantastic too.

I like it so much I just got another one off ebay for £11.06! I need to get an 80mm base as well but have a unit of 2 will be cool.

I am considering doing the fleshy bits on the second one more like my Blood Bowl Rotspawn though. Whether that will stand out against the armour plates I'm not sure but it's worth a shot.

Then again, covering it in red if I don't like it isn't too difficult to do. The rust looks really great here. It's a mix of my Vallejo Rust Model Wash, Rust Orange pigment powder and even Dirty Down Rust [wherever it is yellow rust - the bottle has started to dry out and that was the best I could get from it].

The Cursed Verdigris 🗽 came out great too. It's such a contrast but it is weird to look at the previous post and see how brown it as and still have a little hankering for that true Grimdark aesthetic. The patination on the armour plates, with the subtle Blood Bowl decals look cool though.

The colours are much too bright in places here, which is what I love. But, just one day I'd like to do something truly horrifying that doesn't throw in some brightness. Another decal on the track guard. The one thing this is missing - numbers

Either a big one on a track guard, or some little ones on the weapon cowling. Nevermind, maybe try on the new one...

Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on a Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler. I love these models. I think they're the best value items that Games Workshop sells - £18 for a chunky little tank that's easy to build. Anyway. These pics are from 28th May 2023!

What had happened was that my youngest [he was 17 at the time!] had shown an interest in 40k. Given how much I like this model and it's not too small, not too detailed with plenty of scope to make mistakes without issue we got him one. 

And, later on I got myself one and that weekend I decided to show him how to paint it, based on my own Death Guard. His is the one on the left and for a first go [not first painted miniature, he's done a couple at GW and Warhammerfest] it's quite good.

Now, we could leave this here, but I had intentions to go further. Except, he's never shown any interest in finishing his up. I had thought about sitting down one day and just doing mine in the hope he'd follow up. But I think he's lost interest.

Which means mine has been sat unfinished for nearly 3 years and for some reason [avoiding Capillary Towers] it appealed to me. I'd say there wasn't a lot left to do but I genuinely enjoy just putting washes on to make this grimy and decayed looking so there was a fair bit to do, because I wanted to.

And here we are with a lot of washes. Purple, green, sepia, red.

I was really pleased with the mottled green on the track guards. It looks very similar to the 'superglue' technique -without the risk of gluing my fingers together!

Now this is not finished. I need to do all the rust effects and paint the red bloated skin and all the pustules.

I also need to add some sand and weird growths on the base.

That said, I could really stop here and it would be pretty cool and grimdark.

But I just can't stop. Much like the orange missiles I'll just keep throwing more colour at this. Whether the result is better or worse I know I have not done enough to call it finished.

Regardless, I love it. I just wish my son had wanted to finish his off as having two of them finished would be so great.
