Narrative: The Tragedy of Old Ravenmarch, Lore and Rules for Play (Spooktober)

The grand finale to the Spooktober event is here, and is it a big one. This is the second part of a series diving into the lore of one of my Age of Sigmar armies. 

Ravenmarch, the progenitor to Heldenmarch in the Silverlight Realm, is now a cursed land, and this post will dive into its history, conflicts, and even rules for brining Ravenmarch to life on the tabletop. 

 

Hobby Table: Nighthaunt and Legions of Nagash Heroes plus Terrain (Spooktober)

With only two Friday's left in October, we are approaching the finale of Spooktober. Before we can get there, I wanted to show off of a few of the miniatures that have been completed as they await a diorama photo shoot. I had a bit of time and was able to complete the finishing touches on a few Nighthaunt heroes, then I got some new brushes and excitedly spent a lot of time painting a vampire. Then I threw some hay bales into the mix to spice things up. 

Tutorial: How to Make Cemetery Scatter Terrain (Spooktober)

Hello and welcome back to Spooktober! Today I will cover the process of how I made some easy cemetery terrain. This is a great way to make use of all the great bits in the Sigmarite Mausoleum/Garden of Morr kit, getting you extra value for your money.

Tutorial: How to Make Pumpkin Patch Scatter Terrain (Spooktober)

Welcome back to the second post in the Spooktober series! In this article, I will cover how I made a pumpkin patch for my Age of Sigmar games. Really this terrain piece would work fine in any medieval or historical setting, so even if you don't play Warhammer you'll get some good use out of this. 

Tutorial: How to Make Homemade Texture Paint on Ravenmarch Skeletons (Spooktober)

Welcome to the first in the Spooktober series! To celebrate the month of October and the lead up to Halloween, I decided to make the next few posts centered around my Grand Alliance: Death armies, Legions of Nagash and Nighthaunt. This is the Space Dinosaur Minis' first seasonal event, and I'm looking forward to how it goes. 

The first Spooktober post is a tutorial on how I make texture paste for my Ravenmarch bases. I used to use Games Workshop texture paints, but seeing as I don't want to either spend the time to go to the store or spend the money, I decided to try my hand at making it at home. 

Paint Recipe: How to Paint Lothern Sea Guard, Amber Fiefdom Infantry

Thanks to vacation and work ramping back up to near pre-covid levels, this post is coming out later than I was hoping. Regardless, it covers the paints and techniques that I use for my Amber Fiefdom infantry. The models are Lothern Sea Guard from the Spire of Dawn starter kit, which unfortunately is now out of print. The unit of 10 took some time to paint due to the amount of detail on each model, but in the end it was worth it. 

Hobby Table: Heldenmarch Wizard and Helstorm Rocket Battery

A few posts back I covered the over-arching lore of Heldenmarch, and as I paint more units for the army I will include some snippets of lore on how they fit into the larger tale. I eventually intend to cover all of my models this way, but the big lore posts take a bit of time since I have to make a coherent background, draw maps, design backdrops and take nice photos, on top of painting the miniatures themselves. 

Hobby Table: Chaos Knights

Continuing the Chaos trend from last post, I finished painting the five Chaos Knights that came in the original Start Collecting - Slaves to Darkness box. This marks the first time that I've completed one of these boxes, and combined with the fact that I finished the Khorne half of the first Age of Sigmar starter set, Chaos seems to be the army of completion for me.

Hobby Table: Chaos Warriors

Today's post is a quick one, covering the completion of a unit of Chaos Warriors. Now that work is starting to pick up again, I have less time to hobby and write, but I will do my best to stick to at least a post a week. Anyways, back to it. 

Hobby Table: Glaivewraith Stalkers and Liberators

Although I have an established paint scheme for my Nighthaunt models, it initially didn't start out that way.

In my need to have a "unique" color scheme, I went for an odd combination of purples and blues (Skeletor intensifies). I have now gone back to those first models, the Glaivewraith Stalkers, and given them a much needed update.
