-
I will go for 2 Units of Nurgle Chariots!
Brace yourself!
Ole
-
I'm thinking that my knights are cursed. I'll try for a unit of Empire crossbowmen instead.
-
Nippon Undead army.
-
Put me down for one empire wizard, one unit of Orcs and one giant.
-
Nippon Undead army.
whole army? 30 units?
-
I am reading warhammer historical Vlad the Impaler (such a book), so I am very motivated with medieval eastern warfare. And I am taking back my Ottoman army, but first I should end what I started in August, so my goal is:
1x Myceanic chariots
1x Ottoman jenissares Bow
1x Azabs
As character: finish the Empire mage.
-
@jchaos79, yes, 32 units plus some single stand units & characters. Mother of all batch paintings! Nearly completed them for the August tale. Just need to finish basing and add some flyers which should arrive from the manufacturer soon.
-
Hat off, Sir
-
I'm going for a big September - 1 unit of undead chariots, 1 scratch-built skull chucker, 1 unit of skeleton pygmy archers and 1 unit of bezerkmonkey's excellent skeleton tomb guard.
-
30 units bloody hell I haven't hit that and I've been painting ALL YEAR
-

Hi, I've been painting this morning a little bit. So jenizzars finished. Here it is the WIP progress.
@ Dry_erase also painted a command of Kislev to be sended to you. I will send it on monday. Finally there is no shaman but a Hero with handgunner bodyguard

[ENTRY] Nippon Undead Army. Less 2 units of eagles and hero.
-
wow, that is such an army... make me want to see Big Trouble in Little China.
Is the piant brush green fluorescent?
any idea of the army list?
sooo smart
-
@jchaos79, thanks. Painting was quite simple. Looked for online for how to paint 'Army of the Dead'. Black undercoat, grey drybrush, white drybrush twice, then fluorescent green acrylic ink from an art shop mixed with water and PVA glue to glaze over. For the army list, I am going to use both TK and VC stats. And will probably playtest Lex's Shangri-La list at some point!

[ENTRY] Nippon Undead Army. Less 2 units of eagles and hero.
Excellent! Now I understand your insanely ambitious target for the month. They look really striking.
-
Wow Great stuff already! Here is my start
-
Ole those chariots are very inspiring! Looking good.
Today I finish painitng the Azabs, so I just finish the proposal for September. But I am not going to stop painting now. So my next unit will be Deli unit (a sort of tartar light cavalry). I will be for WMA, so based in long edge, light cavalry probably I will go for 6 figures and probably I'll take 4 dellis and two other light cavalry figures from my "odds and end" box to give a non uniform mood to the unit. Like a mix of troops that raid the villages while the main army is marching to the west....
yess... now I will search for the candidates to complete the delli unit, so I will dive in my odds and box... and that is deliciouss :)
-
Empireaddict - wonderful looking army, are the models you've used all the same manufacturer?
Very interesting ideas this month. Well done all.
-
Many thanks for the comments. To answer the question about manufacturers:
General | Eagles, Eureka 10mm
Dragon, Eureka 18mm
Cauldron | Rockets, Games Workshop
Rokurokubi | Oni | Tengu, 15mm.co.uk
Infantry | Cavalry, Magister Militum
Spiders | Giant, Reaper
-
Deli unit done. soo. what is next?
I guess another mycean infantry unit.
-
Painted in September so far

-
Ole, I always like conversions, so great work on the chariots.
-
So you did paint that whole army in a month... And I didn't even paint a single Warmaster unit. Oops.
-
@Rowlybot, yeah, but I did cut some corners with the paint job.
-
A WIP picture.
I had paint a unit of mycean inf and now I am painting some Tartars

They are wearing big masks! delirant and delicious!
great work Dry_e !
-
I just Love what I see
-
Blimey how did you do the eyes?!
-
Steady hand, thinned white paint and a lot of swearing.
-
Tartars and myceans varnished and based.
I will try to add a unit of siphais kapiculu (ottoman elite cavalry) and a unit of artillery before the month end.
-
i just decided that my conversion needs a slight redo. I will skip it to Oktober to be perfectly honest.
Ole
-
I finally did the artillery and the cavalry
I guess If I can do a hero and a skirmish unit still in september... I do not know
-
I am very fond of the mage, there.
-
Ok I guess I am not painting more for this month. It is not a bad balance at all. Ten units and a couple of characters.
[ENTRY] Jchaos
I enjoy painting ottoman turks a lot, and I advance incredible quickly in the army. I expect finish it next month. Also I painted a couple of units of the mycean army, so I am one step closer to finish it.
The work of September is:
An Empire Mage:

Nice work everyone! I sadly am not going to finish my pledge, I got distracted into working on some 10mm scenery and the orcs and giant fell by the wayside. Looking forward to seeing all the other entries!
-
Scenery is great, too, though!
I'm so glad we're doing this again as it's a good inspiration to keep painting. I've painted 27 units of Warmaster this year, more... models of any kind than I've ever painted in a year before.

[ENTRY] Stormwind
OK, I think I've run out of puff to do any more this month so I'm calling these as my contribution:
http://theancienttrack.blogspot.com/2016/09/warmaster-high-elf-archer-brigade.html
http://theancienttrack.blogspot.com/2016/09/warmaster-high-elf-reavers.html
http://theancienttrack.blogspot.com/2016/09/warmaster-more-high-elf-reavers.html
4 High Elf Archers and 2 High Elf Reaver units.
-
6 units high level painted, and very similar each other... ( I mean possible to suffer burn out effect) a lot of effort!
well done
-
Work has been very demanding this month so I only managed to get started not finished with the crossbows. I'll put the poll up later when I can access my PC. Good work, you who made progress!
-
Alas, jchaos, the archers were almost finished August, it's really only the two Reaver units I got done in September...
<Shame>
-
Poll's up! The voting closes in seven days.
-
So I guess it's a three way tie? This is getting ridiculous! ;D
-
Congratulation to all the winners!
Ole
-
;D 8)
-
May I humbly suggest that you change the word October to September in the winners' thread jchaos?
-
Of course, done!
thanks
