The spires are the good guys

So finally got around to do a bit of construction. Started out with the clone vanguards, I began with just assembling the guys with a random selection of weapons, just with whatever I liked the look of. I quite the look of the guys with a crossbow and a sword reminds me of a swashbuckler with a pistol and rapier.

I watched the milestone one for the spires and after seeing that the clones were suggested to have swords and shields I decided to make at least a few squads of folks with swords and shields to hold the line. I’ll use the other ones as if they just have crossbows, but I like them too much to actually switch out the swords.

On top of this I also build the Executor. Its a great model and is one part except for the choice of head. I could of went for the head you see one the website but the alternate one looks like a sinister faceless mask and I love it. I don’t want my spires to look human if I can help it. If I want humanity I’ll build 100 kingdoms

Now time to marvel at all the new toys. The set is cheaper than buying individually but they also throw in some extras, paints, dice a paintbrush all handy things to have.

Most importantly though there’s loads of lovely sprues.

So I actually got the starter box for this ages ago and decided this slow grow league is a perfect opportunity for me to get back to it. So here’s how things began.

I made up all the hundred kingdoms first just to have a look and while they were great models I preferred the spires. They have such creepy lore and wonderful sculpts. I showed them to my girlfriend who fell in love with them especially the abomination who she thought was ‘cute’.

She calls me cute all the time. I’m sure this is fine.

Anyway she built and painted him so that’s my theme for the army below, I quite like the colours. The abomination has more to do before he’s completely done but the main parts are there.

The most important step. But merch from store.Ontabletop.Com

Or your FLGS I guess.

Next step is difficult so pay close attention.

Make sure you don’t hear the delivery, ideally you want to this when it’s really raining outside so you can leave the cardboard to soak for hours.

Once you’ve given a good few hours to marinade bring it in.

Next step marvel at the pretty box. Gotta love this artwork.
