Paint Table Saturday 190th edition !

Welcome to paint table 190 !

Still working on the Draconian guards. New tactic : painting them one by one , as I can't seem to motivate myself to get real progress. (must be the weather as it has been 30 to 35+ degrees this week)

Also I can't seem to motivate myself to paint a whole group of cavalry in one time. And I have so many left to do...

And I started collecting yet another army : Seraphon. A Skink Starpriest is waiting for some paint.

And more Dwarfs stormed the table (again).

They're all from Avatars of War. 2 new faces & 2 that I had to own and paint a second time.

And another Avatars of War miniature : Ogre mammoth hunter with great weapon.

That's it for this week.

See you at the next paint table !

Baleful Realmgates finished !

I finished these Baleful Realmgates yesterday.

I made one for the Kharadron Overlords & one for the Skaven.

Why them? They fitted the color-scheme I had in my head.

The portal to and from the Kharadron Overlords world.

I highlighted the rune in the color of the portal to indicate what world lies behind it.

For the Kharadron Overlords I decided on the fish-hook looking symbol.

And some Kharadron Overlords protect the portal to their world.

And the Skaven Baleful Realmgate.

Why skaven? The color of the portal will return in some war-machines for the Skaven.

I kept both realmgates simple as I can always add detail later ( if I find it necessary).

Realmgates are portals connecting the Mortal Realms. At the start of the Age of Chaos, Sigmar closed all Gates of Azyr; when the Stormcast Eternals were created, their first job was to reopen these Realmgates. Some Fyreslayers believe that the opening of the Gates of Azyr are a sign of Grimnir's return. The Flesh-eater Courts make their camps around Realmgates, knowing there will be a constant supply of food.
