Age of Sigmar Seraphon Army - first steps

[RichBuilds]

Hi folks.

I lost my figure painting mojo a couple of decades ago after painting miniature for a living.

I got a chance to visit Warhammer world in Nottingham over Christmas and it got the juices flowing again.

I picked up a couple of the starter set games and actually enjoyed painting them! It wasn't a chore!

I started with some nice and simple space marines:



Then some stormcast eternals (lovely sculpts but a whole army of them would do my head in)



And then used some pox walkers so I could learn how Army Painter Quickshades work...





Quickshades are voodoo!

Spurred on, I bought myself the Seraphon Start collecting set and got to painting the big fella in the box!









Next came his rider as I tried out some colour schemes. I don't want them all blue, that would bore me silly...





And one of the Saurus Guard...





I'm currently working on the knight's colour scheme...





I jotted down some notes while I was painting the Troglodon: http://www.richbuilds.com/articles/build-review-games-workshop-troglodon/

What a great come-back to hobby!

One can see that you have painted before, your skills seem not to be gone anywhere despite the years of pause.

Will be awesome to see your forces growing!

Thanks @pocoloco :-)

I've kept my hand in mainly building scale model kits and terrain. The new tools and paints available now are a game changer :-)

Wow I wish I had your skills... great work.

You likely will find painting for fun not for others will be enjoyable. Often turing a hobby into a business can kill the fun in it.

Oh definitely! I'm a software developer by day and stopped coding for fun at home a long time ago...
