So I'm doing one of those "paint X points by Y month" challenges with my friend Tim to create Age of Sigmar forces (although I'm using square bases for maximum compatibility with other games). My goal for August is to paint:
1 Chaos sorcerer
2 familiars
and a unit of 10 Marauders
I am also trying to spend as little money on this thing as possible, so everything is gonna be made from models I already own, kitbashed bits or models I can acquire cheaply second-hand. Let's take a look at this month's progress so far:
The sorcerer and familiars. The sorcerer is the giveaway Morcar model from this year's Oldhammer weekend, and the familiars are Reaper Bones critters I had leftover from the Bones II Kickstarter. Looking at the photo, I see there are some spots I need to touch up.
Here is a closeup of one of the familiars:
This champion leads the unit of marauders. He's a Reaper Bones model and not a fantastic cast, but I bashed him out anyway. These marauders are green-themed, so I gave him some war paint to tie him in.
And here are the marauders so far. They're intended to be wretched, ragged cultists of Nurgle from among barbarian peoples, and they're a mixture of Wargames Factory and Gripping Beast Vikings, Frostgrave cultists, Mordheim militia, Mantic ghouls (I think?) and GW Flagellants plus shields from the ol' bits box.
So I just need to do another six marauders and I'm on track for August. I already have them put together, so I just need to get them primed and find some time to paint them.
