From Curt: 10mm Nasty Baddies for Warhammer Fantasy (618 Points)

 

Hi There!

I've been plugging away at these since the start of the Challenge and am sort of glad to see them finally off the desk and in the cabinet. While I was wanting to get a few command stands done I thought it best not to rush things and just post what was ready to go.

The vanguard of my Great Herd.

First up are two herds of Beastmen Gors. As these are supposed to reflect massed formations I've put them on deeper bases than standard. I also popped in a few trees and a burned out cottage to give the bases a bit of variation amongst these horny (ahem, horned) lads.

Supporting the Gor foot are two herds of Centigors. After painting these I thought I had ran out of skirmishing bases, thus the two sizes shown. Of course, I finished these only to find some proper sized bases tucked away in the Dork Shed. *facepalm* Whatever. I'll rebase the offending unit later... 

Next up are two units of Cairn Wraiths. These are a COMPLETE points steal as they were a ridiculously simple paintjob (Contrast 'Aethermatic Blue' on the upper torso and 'Plaguebearer Flesh' below the waist). Nevertheless I like the overall effect and am happy to have a few more of these to cause ghostly mayhem on the tabletop. They'll also give me a nice bump on the Skull-o-Meter(tm).

Finally are two units of Khorne Bloodletters to add to my Daemonic host. What to say: just a passel of nasty, angry, pointy-spikey fellas. Again, a pretty straightforward paint recipe of reds, orange and yellow, but they look the part when all ranked up on their bases.

The points tally on all this is kind of silly, but not so silly that I won't take it and run. :)

The two Beastherds come in at 218 infantry and two Centigor outriders for 224 points total.

The Centigor herds are 28 mounted figures for 84 points.

The Cairn Wraiths are 156 figures for a blushing 156 points.

The Bloodletters are 144 foot for 144 points.

All totalled up = 608 points. Woo.

As to the precious skullz, we have 156 for the wraiths and another 36 decorating various standards. That makes 192 bony noggins in total. This should please Skully McSkullface, bless his cranium.

Thank you Millsy for not only minioning my entries this season, but also for all your wonderful work with the Friday Follies. 

Have a great weekend everyone! Remember that Saturday to midnight Monday is 'Free Fire', so make sure to pop in some more work over the next few days if you can manage it!

Cheers!

Curt

From Millsy: BOOM! What a way to close out your efforts for the year Curt. I've really enjoyed your 10mm fantasy stuff, especially how you turn many of the bases into small dioramas with structures, terrain or other elements (+10 points for that). The Beastherds are probably my favourite mainly because there's a lot of variety in the colours used but even so they all come together so well and look like a proper horde. You're most welcome re the minion duties, it's a priviledge and I've had a great crew to look after... talented, funny, friendly and just a bit weird like me.
