From TeemuL: Oddities of the Week (20 Points)

So now I'm back to painting odds and ends as my AoS Slaves to Darkness army is "complete". I have managed to paint something, but being extra busy now as the deadline for blog entry is getting closer, I probably have only some low quality pictures and little words.


This is a Slaughterpriest (of Khorne) from the Gorechosen game by GW. It is a spin-off of Age of Sigmar and this (and other 3 figures in the game) have also rules in the AoS, which is part of the reason I bought the game. I have not yet tried the game, but looking forward some pit fighting carnage.


Slaughterpriest is a huge model, 40mm to eye level. My first plan was to really make this look great, but there are just so many details that I lost my interest. I tried to be neat anyway and I'm quite happy with the outcome. I chose red and yellow as the colors, somehow I don't like the brass (or gold) which Khorne usually does. So I experimented with some non-metallic non-metal technique. :D

Then two goblins, standard bearer and hornblower to accompany my earlier goblin hero as a command group for my night goblins. Usually goblins and night goblins are in separate units, but I have not many of them at all, so I just use all as goblins.



They are Grenadier models from 1988, pre-slottabase. I glued them on regular bases and used green stuff to hide the edges. It makes them stand a bit taller than others, which is ok, because they are command.


Here they are with the rest of the unit. With 20 models, it is "finished".


During the last Challenge I started to paint Legend of Drizzt, I only managed to paint to spider swarms. There were three in the box, but I missed one. So here it is.


I have several almost finished miniatures, but since it has been very busy yesterday and today, I was not able to finish them in time. Next week should see quite a mixed bag.


ByronM: That is one huge bad ass chaos warrior there, I haven't followed AoS after a few games and saw that it didn't meet what I was looking for in a game, so have not seen that guy.  I am sure he will kick some serious ass on the tabletop.  I really like the old school unit of goblins as well, they really bring back the old days of fantasy battle.

    1. Thanks Curt! I'm quite happy with the Slaughterpriest in the end, although I was aiming for better standard in the first place.

  5. Nice mix of minioatures, Teemu! I really like the oldhammer look of the goblins, and that Chaos warrior is worthy to lead his own warband!
