Warhammer Fantasy, Pest Control

Slow progress since the last update. I did drybrush all the weapons to get that rusty weapon look, I used the Flames of War Gun Metal paint for this.

I’ve also started painting the cloth/leathers of Clan Eshin on the night runners, just using a black paint, which will be the main theme colour of these. This is going to take a while as, first off, i dont enjoy painting black, but secondly, im taking care to to paint over any straps or other bits of leather work that i want to keep brown. So far, 8 down, 32 to go…..

I have also managed to get a couple of other things done though other than painting.

I assembled the plague furnace, meaning i now have both the plague furnace and the screaming bell, something i’ve wanted since i first saw them in a white dwarf several years ago.

I’ve not based it yet as im wanting to put it on a rectangulr base,  but 60x100mm bases are impossible to find, 50x100mm, no problem, and I’m wanting to mount the models on the bases that they would have come with when released during Warhammer Fantasy Battle’s existance.

I also used the left over parts to assemble the Grey Seer, a bit of messing around was required as it is originally designed to sit atop the bell on the screaming bell, i hand picked some cork chunks for it to stand on, and chopped up the bells from the plague priests kit to put in place of the hand thats usually holding onto the bell.

The final bit I did was to strip the paint off of my original set of plague priests that i first got when i started the army, and put them back onto square bases, having only a year or so ago re-based them onto rounds. I used Bio-strip 20 to strip the paint off the models.

For now I will be continuing to paint the black onto the Night Runners, and then maybe add some different browns for the rest of the leathers.
