Pink Horrors

Over the past few weeks, I have focused on painting my Disciples of Tzeentch models - primarily the daemons, since I can use them both in AoS and TOW games. My plan is to have fully painted Tzeentch army by the end of the year (or be very close to that). I made some pretty good progress and this week I have also managed to finish a unit of Pink Horrors. I was able to find colour scheme that I could replicate quickly, with just the right amount of details. On the pictures below, you can see them on the movement tray I painted as well. 

Brimstone Horrors

Today I have painted a unit of Brimstone Horrors for "Warhammer: The Old World". These little guys were fun and quick paintjob, done within an hour. I just need to buy another pot of Yiriel Yellow, because I did not manage to do the highlights I wanted. I wanted to represent the "Swarm" rule, so I placed two models on each 40x40mm base. With 6 wounds and ward save, thes guys should be pretty annoying on the battlefield. I am also finishing the unit of Pink Horrors, so expect more photos soon! 

Painting Tzaangor Skyfires

Over the weekend, I painted the first of six Tzaangor Skyfires. I consider Tzaangors among my favourite AoS models and together with Kairos Fateweaver and Lord of Change, they are one of the main reasons why I am playing Disciples of Tzeentch. However, they are really tricky to paint. I think GW went a bit too far when it comes to amount of details and different materials/textures on these models. You have skin, cloth, metal, horns, tentacles, feathers, flames... At the same time, while they technically are Beastmen, you really cannot go "quick & dirty" with Tzaangors, like you can with their cousins - that approach won't work here due to model design. This was the main reason why I had my 20 Tzaangors comission painted - I simply didn't want to spend so much time painting all those models. However, I wanted to paint Skyfires and the Shaman myself. 

I tried to strike a balance between doing too much and doing too little. I wanted to paint the model reasonably quick, but I also wanted it to look good and not deviate too much from what I usually do. I have manged to finish it in a few hours (between 4 and 5) and I expect other models to be done in less time (because now I have the colour scheme and approach figured out). I really enjoyed painting this guy and I am very satisfied with the end result. 

Painting Sigmarite Chapel

Recently, I have finished painting Sigmarite Chapel. This is one part of the "Fortified Manor of the Empire" kit, but you can also buy it separately (the other part is the Watchtower). I really love this terrain piece and in general, since I don't have almost any buildings in my collection of scenery pieces, I bought it as soon as it was released (I have mostly ruins and forests). The paintjob was quick and easy (I utilized drybrushing a lot). I am now finishing the watchtower and working on the walls and fences - expect some pictures on the blog soon.
