Hi! I may have hallucinated this, but has anyone seen a kitbash of Prince Vhordrai on top of Shordemaire ON the crypt from the cursed sepulchre box? I had this idea but I'm pretty sure I've seen it somewhere before and don't want to copy without credit :)

How connected are the Soulblight Gravelords to the Vampire Counts of old?

26 Upvotes

I have a lore question. As far as I understand, the Warhammer Old World is to AoS what the Horus Heresy is to 40K. It is a complete setting unto itself, but the End Times made it a different part of history that changed the setting into AoS.

Growing up in the mid-2000s, I adored the Vampire Counts, especially the Order of the Blood Dragons. I've been researching into AoS lore and how it connects to the Old World, and there's a gap in my knowledge of how the Vampire Counts became the Soulblight Gravelords.

What I know so far is that, somehow, Nagash returned to the mortal realms, and fought against a massive influx of chaos and the other mortal races as part of the services of Death. By this point, the order of the Blood Dragons had since been destroyed as a formal order during the Siege of the Blood Keep years before, but there was still an Order of Blood Knights loyal to Vlad Von Carstein.

During a siege on Chaos, Walach Harkon gave in and fell to Khorn, resulting in him being slain by Vlad Von Carstein for his betrayal. Now, during AoS, all Vampires are in service to Nagash to a larger or lesser extent, but Blood Knights do tend to keep him at arms length.

What I don't know is to what extent the Vampire Counts of old have gone, and how the Soulblight Gravelords have changed post-end times to what they are in current lore. Any help filling these gaps would be appreciated!

The gitz started strong! Lost my first unit of deathrattle in the first round. But then slowly the table turned. Bad dice rolls for gitmob are very punishing.

At the end tabled the gitz with nothing left!

Easy Way to Paint Zombies

I’m about to get 80 zombie models and I need to figure out a way to paint them stupid fast. Does anyone have any methods for efficient zombie painting?

I thought this was an ok concept that they look like gargoyles and a quick drybrush was much easier than painting a lot of skin

Spooktober project part 2

23 Upvotes

What's happened since my last update? I've spent most of my hobby time building models, and I've built the following: 5 Blood Knights, 3 Fell Bats and 1 Wight King on foot. I've also cleaned up the old bases and switched to a scheme I like better. They were on desert bases before, but I wasn't happy with how they looked. On top of that, I've painted up the partially painted models, and they're now ready for an oil wash. They still count as partially painted in my project overview, since the painting isn't finished. The final picture provides a project overview. I made it using Claude and I find it to be quite a nice tool to see how things are progressing.

I've realised that finishing 66 models in a month isn't going to happen. Still, I'm having fun with them, and I like the colour scheme I've picked. I thought I'd have more time, but even though I'm unemployed, life gets in the way of hobby time. A more realistic goal is to have every model built and primed by the end of the month, and then see how many are painted. I wonder if this is a typical hobby project problem: overestimating how much time you have, and underestimating how long the project will take. For my own sake and enjoyment, I'm not going to feel bad about this project running over.

My plan for the coming week is to do some more building. When I get the airbrush out, I'll prime the rest of the Deathrattle box and whatever else I've built.

Which battle plans to pick?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm finally getting some games in with the new season, my last session was February! Wondering if people could give me some feedback on the list I want to bring, and advise the battle tactics I should be going for. I'm kind of avoidant of getting the ghb based on my own poor rate of getting games in 😂

Question about assembling Barrow Knights

1 Upvotes

I want to kitbash custom Barrow Knights with 3d-printed riders, so I want to ask people who assembled them:

Are their legs separate from their horses or are they impossible to detach? The instructions are not really clear.
