To finish off the bard survivors, the Female Bard armours are complete. They are matching the green of the green Smog Singer and are clearly ready for a jam session.

Sometimes the Cities of Sigmar get some love. This time, some of the army’s leaders have been painted, just in time for the next edition to come out.

The Adjutant is a good buddy of the general and also carries around a hero’s head on a stick for advice. I find that wonderful. The stud muffin of an Alchemist Warforger, brings along a stewing pot and fancy cubes. The new Cities models are so full of character and was the much needed update to the range. The cobblestone is looking good. I got a textured roller to do the bases for this army, as I do not have as much access to a laser cutter anymore, and I think they turned out very well.

This sculpt really appealed to me as soon as I saw it. The casual stance, the goofy face, and the gratuitous violence all came together into such an interesting model. The limited pallet of colours and the blood being such a strong contrast makes this model stand out. Next up will be the female bard armours, but I am looking forward to other narrative sculpts.

The first survivor models I have done for the commission are the male bard armours. They are matching the colours I painted for the Smog Singers. In KDM, the survivors hunt the monsters like the Smog Singers and harvest the corpses for parts to make into armour and weapons to use in the next hunt.

These guys match the red Smog Singer for the main colour. The female armours will feature green from the green Smog Singer. The blue mail will be from the blue Smog Singer and the yellow bits are how I imagine the goop the monsters excrete affect the colour of cloth.

You may not like it, but this is peak lounging physique. The Smog Singers are complete and in trendy RGB fashion.

They may be monsters in Kingdom Death, and should probably be dispatched on sight, but if it weren’t for the existential horror of the setting, I’m sure this trio would be a great group to hang out with. Kingdom Death is having a painting contest at the end of the month and I will be entering what I complete. I’m picking the red Smog Singer, and now I need to pick an armour set mini and a narrative mini. Hopefully, I get them done! The Crimson Croc monster would have been a stronger choice, but I will not be getting something that large done by the end of the month, so I stuck with the Smog Singers.

Unfortunately, I was quite busy this week and couldn’t paint as much as I wanted to. I did make progress on the Smog Singers and have decided on RGB colours as their theme. The smoke, masks, and pustules still need to be detailed. Which model(s) should I paint next?

It was not just building the Black Knight last week, I also made progress on painting a few mer-people. Naturally, KDM mer-people are horrifying creatures that probably go around tickling your feet while you sleep, these ones smoke while doing it too. The scheme will be inspired by Den of Imagination’s work on them, so each will have a different tail colour.

The third one with the smoke out of it’s mouth, that smoke is in the most delicate of situations and I may need to find hardier solutions to get it to stick.

The new starter set came out some time ago and I have finally painted 2 models in it. I wanted to pick one of the more unique models in the unit, the Battle Priests. They look like they are bringing some small relics with them, making sure the faith in Sigmar is kept up properly.

My old Middenhiem colour scheme on the new models looks great. Though these particular models don’t have as many doodads the old State Troopers had, the detail on the new models is more crisp and the hands aren’t as poofy, they still maintain the charm I look for in regular humans up against supernatural horrors. Great update.

The first round of rebasing used MDF engraved cobblestone. But, now that I don’t have as ready an access to a laser cutter, I am using a texture roller with Greenstuff and gluing a cutout on top of a plastic base. How does it look? I think it works.

Priming is currently being done on the KDM project. Updates soon!

The second battery is complete, finishing the unit. My first 10th ed Astra Militarum unit, and first unit since my converted Manticore unit the new colour scheme. It all looks fantastic and I am looking forward to redoing more of the older models.

Group shots! Unfortunately, I don’t have the best lighting for so many models, but I still like to see how many minis I went through. Completing a project is always an accomplishment to be proud of and I love to see all the models out together.

This is one of very the few projects I used decals regularly. Because of this army, I want to use decals more. They bring such an air of cohesion to the army that makes them look so sharp.
