    Awesome Tomb Kings board, and really cool to see you have one AOS force for each "faction," Chaos, Destruction, Death, and Order! (I am guessing that was on purpose)

    It certainly was... Though I am thinking perhaps a change in the Chaos one, but we'll see what happens.

    Also, made a few purchases while I'm here... Some of those are going to be surprising I think!

    So far I've picked up:

    Rogue Idol
    Troggoth Hag
    Grot Shaman (pack of 2)
    Grot Warboss
    Kroak
    Eternity Warden
    Astrolith Bearer

    That's right... Seraphon. Watch this space, I have a plan.

    I'll post pics for sure, looks like it's gonna be fun to paint... I've also a couple of little additions I want to make, and bought the biggest base there is to put it on!

    In looking over your epic pic of all your AOS units, I am curious: is the standard base size for infantry 32mm round bases? The smaller gobbos seem to be on 25mm round bases. I am curious what size normal saurus warriors are based on nowadays, is it also 32mm or is there a size in between?

    Skinks are on 25, warriors are on 32... Generally seems to go by model size.

    Speed painted Kroak, under an hour including priming and dry time. Not amazing, but on such a tight deadline this is what we're working with!

    Another hour and a half and his throne is done enough for Saturday.

    I'll go back and add some striations to the stone work, and highlight the gold, and glaze some green into the vines to get them to pop... Maybe colour in some triangles. But for a quick job, and to be done by Saturday this is good enough.

    This weekend is an event at the local GW, so on Saturday there's a hero mash (playing Kroak), then a monster mash (Rogue Idol) - then on Sunday there's a double tournament. 1k points each. I'm taking a mini Kroaknado, Kroak, Astrolith Bearer, 2x 10 skinks, Balewind Vortex, and whatever I decide to take for the last few points... Maybe an Eternity Warden, but seems a bit silly. My friend is taking 7 stormfiends... We're gonna smash some stuff.
