A new Craftworld is born. Arithym!

[DarkMark]

That squad looks very good. I especially dig the green gems, and think they all should be done like that.

[Son of Russ]

Thanks mate. I tend to alternate the gem colours between squads. Some are green, other purple. I use purple gem tanks as Command Tanks in Apoc formations.

The other six Psychic markers are now complete :



Group shot of all nine :



Now I have eleven Pathfinders on the table. The ink wash for their cloaks is drying now. Will continue to work on them tomorrow. Once the particaly painted squads are finished off, I'll get an Army shot sorted out!

[Son of Russ]

Argh! Goin' to the Tournie tomorrow, and still finishing off the two Pathfinder squads. Nearly there though!

In the mean time, my groovy girlfriend has made me a graphic of Arithyms Craftworld rune!



And a smaller version for documents!

[Son of Russ]

Pathfinders complete!

Squad 1 :



Squad 2 :



Now! Time to head to Nottingham! Wish me luck!

[Tzarinchilla]

Fantastic, these are looking great and good luck!

[Son of Russ]

We're back from Nottingham and all 8 of us did well. My team mate and I got 56th place out of 150, so quite pleased and barring our third game, all our opponents were awesome.

The Eldar and Guard force my team mate and I wielded :





We scored full marks for you painting and basing. We got full marks for having background fluff and achieved 7 out of 10 secret missions.

All in all, a damned fun weekend. You can spot our group on the facebook photos. We are the guys in the pink t-shirts wearing Fez'.

Additionally, I came away from forgeworld with a MkII Cobra and a Pulsar Lynx! More Apoc goodness!

Nice Plog buddy. I wouldn't ever have thought a mid tone bronze like that would work for Eldar, but your technique along with the wraithbone, looks good.

Excellent job. I'm still jealous of your huge grav tank force though.

Cheers Mate. I'm very pleased with my Craftworld colour scheme.The chestnut wash was the thing that pulled the metallic paints together. I was annoyed it was discontinued until I found Liquitex Transparent Burnt Sienna thanks to Col. Festus.

Excellent job. I'm still jealous of your huge grav tank force though.

Heh heh, I love tanks! Whether Tracked or Grav. The total panted is 3 Falcons, 3 Wave Serpents, 3 Fire Prisms, a Fire Storm and a Night Spinner as well as my Mk II Scorpion.

I have 2 Wave Serpents, 4 Falcons, a Pulsar Lynx and a Mk II Cobra waiting for paint and am looking to buy a trio of Warp Hunters next month.

[Son of Russ]

Well, I've been busy and not really been able to do any hobby work. I have managed to do something though.

After over a year sat in a near finished state, I finally finished my Striking Scorpion squad.



I am now getting ready to work on three six man squads of Fire Dragons before getting additional tanks for another upcoming Apocalypse battle. Three more Fire Prisms, three Warp Hunters, three Night Spinners and a Cobra Mk II.

Gotta get a wiggle on!

[Son of Russ]

I'm still around and painting. Been a bit hodge podge due to wor and RL issues but I am still working on the three Fire Dragon squads. The first Exarch has been completed! He is magnetised so I can use either weapon.

Squad one will have green sashes and Spirit Stones, squad two will have purple, squad three will be blue.

Fire Pike :


Dragons Breath Flamer :


More to come soon. Three Warp Hunters and three Night Spinners await priming while I still have three Fire Prisms and a Cobra MkII awaiting construction. I'll soon have more than twenty Grav Tanks.

[Malakai]

Really nice. I liked the last Wave Serpent you did. The purple gems look right against the bone and black, maybe even better than the green?

Your GF's rune is awesome. I've been wracking my brain for years to come up with as cool a rune for my CW as you have.

[Lowmans]

Maybe you could get wallpaper made with the rune!?

Your models look fantastic, well done at your tournament too! 5 stars from me

[Fable]

I definitely think a group shot is warranted.

Also, I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who uses Psychic power markers in my Eldar (I still haven't come up with something I like for Guide though).

[Son of Russ]

Lowmans, I use the rune as a wallpaper on Android phone.

Fable, since I started using them, I've not forgotten my psychic powers once, so I definately recommend power tokens! What do you use for yours?

Will have the Exarchs squad complete fairly soon. Will get a picture of them up either tonight or tomorrow morning!

[Fable]

I started using mine for the same reason.

I use a Gyrinx to represent Enhance, a Standard Bearer to represent Embolden, and I put together Fortune (blue) and Doom (red) from the fantasy wizard kit with the heads of an old 2nd edition Shadowseer and Solitaire respectively.

I finished them up around early 2010 so I think they're on page 3 of my painting log. I initially came up with the markers because I, like you, would constantly forget and I found that it would cripple my Warlock squad. The markers make it vastly easier to remember to cast because you have to collect them off the table right before you cast.

[Son of Russ]

I use a Gyrinx to represent Enhance, a Standard Bearer to represent Embolden, and I put together Fortune (blue) and Doom (red) from the fantasy wizard kit with the heads of an old 2nd edition Shadowseer and Solitaire respectively.

Ah! I did try to get a hold of a Gyrinx but they are a touch expensive and since I wanted three of each marker, it would have gotten out of hand. I must say, never thought about a marker for Embolden. Might have to nick that idea then!

Fire Dragon squad completed with Exarch!

[Fable]

I used an old Wood Elf cat model, ordered back when GW allowed one to do such things as order bitz or single models otherwise sitting in warehouses. I just GS'd a rune on its back.

I've seen other folks use one of the lions from the high elf chariot to convert one.

[Son of Russ]

The lion?!? That'd be a huge Gyrinx! Still, it's a cool idea.

I think it's time for an Army Picture!

[Son of Russ]

[Son of Russ]

The Craftworld Leader I have right now. Have two Avatars and three Autarchs in the wings as well as more Warlocks. The Odd Warlock out will be brought in line with the others and put in the second squad.



Additionally, to to an Apocalypse game our club will be having, the Bonesingers have gone into over drive again :



The Warp Hunter is an absolutely lovely model. I reckon they'll look pretty good once I'm done with em! The Cobra is lovely too! The Night spinners are added to the army after I received the Hunters and found a Fire Prism set, minus the crystals. But since I have 3 Prism sets to build anyway, that ain't a big deal.

The amount of Destroyer shots I will be able to push out of my force is frankly terrifying.

And this is without the Titans I have waiting in the cupboards to be built!
