It Came from the Lightbox: Fomoroid Crusher

I’m just knocking out some random models and shrinking the pile of grey: I picked up the Warcry Chaos Monsters box a bit a go and was happy to make a little progress against it. Very happy with the result here: the blue is so effective.

It Came from the Lightbox: Da Kunnin’ Krew

I painted these for use in Warcry. I expected Mannok Da Kunnin’s face to be difficult to paint given the metal basket around his head but it actually wasn’t so bad

It Came from the Lightbox: Sylvaneth Spearhead

Breaking my catch-up of unposted painted model picks: I finished these guys yesterday and got them into the lightbox this morning.

Got a bug up my butt about the leaves looking kind of elm-y and that elms have a beautiful golden yellow in autumn… and with as frigid as it’s been the last few weeks it was tough to think about painting these green and spring-like. So: autumnal.

I’m quite happy with how they came out, though getting that golden yellow took many, many, many coats. I think the results are worth it, though.

Very displeased with the models themselves, however: all those branches and arrows are incredibly fragile. If you look closely you can see all bits that broke off while painting them.

It Came from the Lightbox: Gnomes (Gloomspite Spearhead)

Warp Miniatures makes these magnificent gnomes and I’ve had them for a while. We’ve started playing a lot of Spearhead at the game store, so I got a bug to print off enough to counts-as them as the Gloomspite Gitz spearhead and paint them up.

I’m quite happy with them! I’m looking forward to printing off and painting their Mouse Cavalry to run as the new Gitmob spearhead, once we know what’s in it (and my printer is fixed).

Here’s a photo in front of a black background because I’m still playing around with that.

I want to note that I did paint these little fellas’ eyes because yes. I gave them pink, magenta eyes because they’re magical little forest fairies.

And I used fluorescents so that, in the right circumstances, they’ll glow with sinister menace…

It Came from the Lightbox: Teratic Cohort

Had such a good time painting Kainen’s Reapers, I picked up the Warcry warband (and I had such a good time painting these I picked up the Vanguard.

It Came from the Lightbox: More Stormcast

Spearhead’s been seeing some action at the store for the past few months, so I knocked out a Thunderstrike Chariot because, given my existing set of painted Stormcast, it was the only model* I needed to paint to be able to field a fully painted Stormcast army.

* If James Workshop didn’t want me to proxy my everyone-has-a-bunch-of-them Vindictors for not-everyone-has-a-bunch-of Vanquishers he’d have kept the Spearhead to Vindictors.

This gives me a fully painted Yndrasta’s Spearhead!

It Came from the Lightbox: Night Goblins

(I prefer “Night Goblins” to “Gloomspite Gitz.”)

First off, I painted up the Gobbapalooza, because it seems like they’re incredibly useful and common to see in Destruction warbands in Warcry. They came, of course, in a box with a bunch of other Goblin models… so I moved on and painted most of those, too.
