    ...at this point, I have 2 different Skaven armies, Seraphon, Soulblight/Legions of Nagash, Troggoths, Big Waaagh (mostly old Greenskinz), and now aelfs... in the past I used to have an 8000 point Dark Elf army (for WFB).

    Kind of? I'm doing a Wanderers-focused Cities of Sigmar army, because they're something I haven't done. I don't like the background of the Idoneth, I've done Dark Elves of all flavors for years so I'm kind of bored of them (which didn't stop me from considering Har Kuron as a choice), and the Lumineth don't appeal to me much.

    This is the only pic I've taken so far. Some partly assembled Eternal Guard, and the two old metal High Elf Heroes I'm using as my Nomad Princes. Also behold the mess that is my work/computer desk.

    Yeah, I can't talk. I've been picking up old issues of White Dwarf because I like them better than the current ones. Nostalgia, probably. I started this hobby in the early 90's, so my favorite issues are from the mid- to late-90's. Like many, my absolute favorite issues have the original "Tale of Four Gamers" in them.

    They look good together.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    I do think that they don't look as bad as a lot of people say. However, I can definitely see where the "derpy" comments are coming from. While it's true that the Dark Elf Cold Ones don't look like a fantasy creature necessarily, they still look meaner and tougher than our Cold Ones. Plus, the stupidity thing is originally why they were designed to look slightly dumb, and I think that puts a lot of people off. Thankfully that's gone in AoS!

    I did the mind-numbing job of putting a second magnet on all of my COR... [sigh] They don't totally fit, but at least it's better.

    On a more positive note, I magnetized and put into the storage box all my Sepulchral Stalkers and Necropolis Knights.

    Did the next magnetizing. This time was my (limited) TK horsemen. I got some because I wanted to at have protection for a mounted Liche Priest, but as far as I can see they're next to useless... Maybe to block line of sight from a Cannon/Hellcannon that is on the ground?

    Continued to slowly work on my Brutes. Two are almost done and the last two have base coats on. I'm hoping to be done with them by the end of the week.

    So me and the wife finished going through all of the magic lores, including the Lizardmen High Magic, Slann abilities and all of the Lizardmen magic items.

    So the next battle will be her playing Lizardmen and me using my Tomb Kings. It will still be assisted on gaming rules a lot, but she wanted to be able to make all her list choices by herself, choosing magic items and magic lore. So should be a good one!

    I finished a small (more of a tiny) piece of terrain. I will post some pictures later.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Oh yes. There will definitely be one. It will just be 500 points, but it will give me a chance to use my Stalkers... :)

    Am trying my hand at converting Rivendell Warriors:

    Need to cut up a piece of paperclip to replace the shaft of the sword and glue the blade back on.
