One of my concerns about the hobby is the feeling that permeates it of everything has to be โ€œshowcaseโ€.

I hope thatโ€™s right, I love the Gorgers, so more ogres in that direction would be great.

Right, WIP on the rest of the squad, currently in an ugly phase. #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

True statement

I actually realised as I was making the post what the problem I have with painting the scheme is - my colour blindness is messing with me. Hence the need to show someone IRL. (Not just my trash photo.)

Despite having prepped 17 models, when I started putting the actual colours on I hit a problem, so I finished one as a test and now I need to show it to someone irl. #slaanesh #wh40k #warhamnercommunity #minipainting

Oh absolutely GW games are terrible. If I want to play a good game KoW, Infinity and a few others way before GW.
But sometimes you have to play the games on offer.

With how long some models have taken me to get done, thatโ€™s not a bad timeframe :)

Finally painted these, giving me 6 of them done. Because I have the old Underworlds warband, I can swap one for the โ€œcharacterโ€ in there and have 2 units of 3 or 1 unit of six. #slaanesh #ageofsigmar #warhamnercommunity #minipainting

Last time I believed that was the Storm Orcs (I forget their actual name). I built and painted 1 regiment and was so disappointed I couldnโ€™t even assemble a second regiment.

Every time I have believed that in the past Iโ€™ve gotten burnt by the rubbish.
But your paint job looks great.

Why not do 16 models as a โ€œtest modelโ€ for a new method? #wip #warhammercommunity

Finally figured out a colour scheme that makes me want to paint Corsairs. So, 17 Emperorโ€™s Children on my desk now are done, it will be test model time. #WarhammerCommunity

Its not even the difficulty of transporting them, its the fact you need 2 if not 3 of them to fully utilize the army. That's what needs to be fixed. 1 copy of the terrain is all that you should be using.

It does look like an alternate build. There is however only 1 new warscroll.

I got my pre-order sorted with my LGS... thanks GW for backing up and then releasing it all at once in Aus/NZ. 3 weeks of pre-orders at once *cries*

If I could count this would be 25/100, but apparently I cannot so itโ€™s 24 and I need to do 1 more model to get to 25. #hellsmiths #ageofsigmar #warhamnercommunity #minipainting

I havenโ€™t played since before 4E, but Iโ€™m back in the painting groove if nothing else and aim to get the Hellsmiths on the table and maybe my Lumineth soon.

Wait until youโ€™ve got 2000 points of them doneโ€ฆ

My exact thought and why I want one for my Emperorโ€™s Children!

Been stuck with this for a while in Oz too.

She is not supposed to be a mortal member of the warband, rather a heavenly messenger, so she should be more unique. So raven black. People will read the bird as โ€œcorvidโ€ then instead of โ€œeagleโ€ which is what I think will happen if you go browns.

Well today was productive from an assembly perspective (given how slow I am at it) and I may have pre-ordered a lot of stuffโ€ฆ
No painting though just wasnโ€™t in the mood, but hereโ€™s a flash back.
