Title: Agis' Warcry minis
Post by: Agis on September 13, 2020, 05:42:28 PM

I bought the Warcry box right after the release, but somehow did not get into playing it. Then I read some Warhammer AoS novels, dived into Warhammer Underworld and now it is time to tackle Warcry. In addition I stumbled over Ana Polanšćak ( we know her as Blasphemia Blackwood) excellent website Gardens of Hecate. - https://gardensofhecate.com/
I was totally blown away by her skill and unique way of painting or even creating or converting miniatures. I also liked her dedication to background research, she is not just painting some minis, she really dives into it, a great example is her Blog entry from 02.09.2020 about the Charnel throne kit. She is not only painting the kit in her unique way, no - she dives into the theme, makes the connection to the real bone installation in the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. I really like her approach which is very similar to my way of painting WW II armies or everything else.
So I contacted her and ask her to paint a warband for me. You can see the result below.

After that I needed more and hired her to paint the Warcry scenery and two Nighthaunt warbands for Underworld. Again – this time as expected – I was not disappointed, on the contrary the skill and devotion to the work is just outstanding. Just an example, you get your painted minis VERY carefully packed, the included bill is wax sealed and personal note is handwritten.
I am painting minis myself since the 1980s and have gained some skills on the way, but it is always a pleasure to see some other highly talented work! So if you need something grim, dark and masterly executed contact her!

I'm sure he's angling for a discount  ;)

But the praise is deserved, it's very good work and suits the figures.

Stormcast by me, rest by Ana Polanšćak (Gardens of Hecate).
I am pretty happy how they work together.
