    I’ve seen this army on instagram and it is lovely, I like the story behind it as well.

    Well done Dan

    Something different than their usual nakedness (skin)... good job! I like it... and some nice fluff as well.

    What a beautiful army concept. I absolutely love how the green pops out in contrast to the stone. Very cool! The army looks very well unified across all the models.

    I know that problem... the side looks quite different on a laptop or similar device...

    Yup. If I go landscape mode on my phone it's the normal site, portrait mode is streamlined

    Lovely job on those dwarves!! I love the concept. It brings out the oriental hints in their design… And not only is it great looking, it's also convenient for painting and it allows you to play much sooner. Great thinking, awesome army. :pompus::pompus::pompus::pompus::pompus:

    I agree, it's on the list to go back and do but I painted this all in under a week so was pushed for time even with a simple theme as it is... There's definitely room for adding more details.

    I couldn't handle painting them in their standard bare skin theme, I hate it

    They're pretty brutal on the table, too. Those three models are all my opponent has left in this game.

    The Nighthaunt also remain unbeaten. We played 1k Scaven & 1k Nighthaunt Vs 2k Stormcast Vanguard. Lots of Scaven died early due to deepstriking, but ended up the Nighthaunt just tabling 2k worth of SC by themselves... I honestly don't understand how they're this brutal, I've not come up against anything super optimised for beating it yet apparently.

    I can understand why you hate it. Personally I'm not a fan but I'm going to look at it as a challenge when I end up painting some

    Reminds me of terracotta warriors.

    Really beautiful work, looks better than the normal color scheme in my opinion. And I love that jade wizard!

    Did you say how you did the green? I apologise if I missed it. @Ritual

    I can't say exactly, but it's whichever dark green I had to hand, with mint green highlights, mix the two together in varying shades for a bit of texture. Washed with blue!

    Repainted the Griffon to match the jade wizard army.... The plan is coming together. Worked on the stone texture on flat surfaces, I think it came out well.

    My favourite bit is that he has a quicksilver potion on his belt, my regular Friday night opponent always forgets I take it and hates it when I use it.
