SKAVENS!!!


Assassin Adept
 I really hate skavens... I do, never liked them, and never liked people who play with skavens... that last one is not 100% true, but almost. But the thing is that my friend Anita told me to play Mordheim and she wanted to play with them so after two years I painted a warband and I enjoyed it so much that im gonna play with them.
Verminkin with slings
 The clan Eshin is the chosen to search wyrdstone in the city of the damned, also is the biggest warband you can collect, top of twenty members, very fast runners and cheap!!!! for 20gc you have a regular verminkin, armed with a dagger and for only 2gc they have a sling.



In Mordheim the best thing is to have attacks, not good ones just a lot and a starting band of 18 members will be outnumbering the rest of the warbands for the very first beggining.
Verminkin with... lets say slings and clubs

I used really old models and some of the ones from the mordheim official band, the old ones are from a lot I bought like 3 years ago, and the morheim ones are heritage from friends who left the hobby when they grow up... hehehe so its a really cheap part of my leadpile and im really happy to have it a little less huge pile.

This band is my first entry for the challenge, now im working in a viking warband for saga so for a little ill be far from the dark and grimm city but i have some buildings to finsih



The paint was really fast and simple, black priming followes by some grey drybrushes of greyscale, for the flesh i went from flat brown (va) to beige red (va) to light flesh (va), and a washed with ogre felsh ink (gw). I thins its the most important part of the models and it looks they way I liked it. Right after I finished I felt that they need something else so they have now blood in the weapons and now Im happy hehehe.

SIXTH ANNUAL ANALOGUE HOBBIES PAINTING CHALLENGE




For the last few year I´ve been following the blog Analogue Hobbies and it´s painting challenge. For the last year I´ve been really busy and I left the blog a little bit dead, but I´m ready, I´m in for 500 points, the 28mm models are 5 points for each infantry I paint, 10 for the mounted or crews and 15 for the vehicles, my models are usually 28mm so I have to paint around 80 infantrymen and some vehicles, in like 3 months... For me the hard part is not to find time to paint, its more difficult to find the moment to make proper photos and sit down to write, but this time I´m ready.

On my desk:

The tempestus scions primed and ready to be painted, they are 45 troops,4 Valkyries and a Knight.

Lord of the Rings hobbit army plus the grey company (aragorn and some friends).

Russian army for bolt action.

Skaven warband for mordheim.

Chaos army for warmaster.

Chaos warriors for Age of Sigmar.

Viking warband for saga.

I have more around the house and more ideas but I´m gonna try to focus to achieve at least the tempestus army, the skaven and the vikings for saga, with this i would have more than 500 points and I really want to get into the bonus rounds, this year the challenge goes around the risk takers, gamblers and daredevils and the bonus rounds are:


  • January 3rd: Nostalgia 
  • January 17th: Epic Fail 
  • January 31st : Defensive Terrain 
  • February 14th: L'amour 
  • February 28th: Nautical 
  • March 13th: Gambler/Risk-Taker
 Im gonna start assembling and priming the first 500 points and buying a nice table with lights for the photos...
