I've been pretty quiet on this blog for the last few weeks, but I haven't been idle. Mostly it seems like I've been assembling and painting a couple of terrain kits for Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000. So with out further ado, here we go!
When the second edition of Age of Sigmar was released, I picked up a set of the new battlefield objects that was produced. The kit comes with seven objective markers with a lot of character. I've based and painted up six, I've still got one to do but its a big floating thing and I still haven't figured out how I'm gonna base it. These were nice kits, and allow me to get some characterful markers on the board with no fuss.

Each sculpt is really characterful and assembles quickly. |
|
Well, except this weapon pile. This went together weird and took a few passesof dry fitting to get right. |
|
I'm not sure why a wizard left his spell book/jar trunk here, but its a lot of fun. |
|
The interior of the sarcophagus is also well detailed.
|
Then its a jump over to the 41st millennium to work on some terrain. Games Workshop has re-issued some of their older terrain and I jumped on getting a few that I'd missed out on - the Skyshield Landing Pad and Honored Imperium. These kits were the polar opposite of one another, but in the end I'm happy with both.
|
This kit was a nightmare to assemble. Its super flimsy and tries to be clever with its engineering rather than being robust. I'm happy to have it as a nice narrative objective for my games, but man was I happy when this thing was done. Total pig of a model.

The blast shields raise and lower. Why? Why not! I guess! |
|
Honored Imperium, on the other hand, was quick to assemble and a lot of fun to paint. |
I also made a decision my wallet will regret for years to come by picking up a copy of the new Adeptus Titanicus. I've already begun assembling a Warlord Titan, so keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks. I plan on working on this slowly, so I can savor the priceyness and keep pace with what I'm suspecting will be a glacial release schedule.

A game of Titanic Prices in the Age of Austerity. |
Cheers!
