Grumpy Geek Couple

🇵🇱 Cześć,   Przepraszam, za tak długą przerwę, ale mieliśmy z mężem małe małżeńskie nieporozumienie. Na szczęście już się dogadaliśmy. Dzięki tej sytuacji, udało mi się znaleźć czas na pomalowanie figurek i ruszyć z moją armią 😀. Lower Abyssale poszły na pierwszy ogień 🔥. Najpierw pomalowałam jedną figurkę by przetestować kolory. Potem malowałam już kilka figurek na raz.  Do pomalowania ciała demonów użyłam: Mephiston Red w sprayu (C) jako base, Carroburg Crimson (C) jako shade, Evil Sunz Scarlet (C) i Will Rider Red (C) jako highlighty. Kolejno do pomalowania futra wykorzystałam: Rhinox Hide (C) jako base, Nuil Oil (C) jako shade, Mournfang Brown (C) jako highlight. Broń pomalowałam za pomocą: Gun Metal (AP) jako base Nuil Oil (C) jako shade, Ironbreaker (C) jako highlight. Do kości wykorzystałam: Ushabti Bone (C) jako base, Seraphim Sepia (C) jako shade Screaming Skull (C) jako highlight. Szaty, rogi i pazur...

Hi,  My first models, which I cleaned and glued from Kings of War's set, were Lower Abyssals. In every sprue we get:  5 bodies,  8 heads,  one-handed weapons for each body,  one two-handed weapon with hands,  5 hands for 5 shelds,  5 Flamebearer's hands,  one banner with hand.  Also to one body there is added a drum with stick. Additionally in every plastic sprue we get 2 Imps. Like I mentioned earlier, this models have big mould lines. Therefore cleaning those models takes a lot of time. However designer from Mantic, who created this model, did it very well. Demons are so beautiful, that I decide to sacrifice my free time on cleaning them. I was looking for other models to this army from different producers, but I didn't find anything nice like them. I decide to make a Lower Abyssal's horde, so according to King of War's rule I have to finish a least 21 models. If I need my Abyssals to have defence 4, they h...

Hi, After I prepared bases, it's time for painting. My army is composed of demons, who live in volcanic land, where lava flows on the ground. Therefore I had to match bases to their home's character. First I painted my bases with Mephiston Red Spray from Citadel. Next I started creating lava by making stains on them with Wild Rider Red (C*). Those stains I lightened with Troll Slayer Orange (C*) and Lava Orange (AP**).  Then I made new stains with Averland Sunset (C*), which I highlighted with Daemonic Yellow (AP**) and Matt White (AP**). On the next step I use Martian Ironearth (C*) - a texture paint, which makes crushed ground effect. In the end I painted the bases with Matt Black (AP**). This crushed ground is very fragile, so I put a mat varnish on bases for protection. I used for this Anti-Shine Matt Vanish (AP**). Finished bases were put into mutibase's shape, to show you the final effect. You can see...

Hi, When I had been cleaning and making a few models from my army set, I realised that to finish those models I need bases. I decided to abandon cutting out the models from the sprues and started cleaning and painting bases. In the army set, which I described lately, we get bases for every model. The box includes: 62 small plastic bases in size 20 mm x 20 mm, 10 bigger wooden bases in size 25 mm x 50 mm, 3 large wooden bases in size 40 mm x 40 mm.  The models on bases need to be placed on movement trays, because Kings of War is a mass-battle fantasy wargame. In the begging I wanted to take care of small bases. After I had cut them out from sprues, I glued a small magnet to every base. For this I used magnets sized 5 mm x 1 mm. It hid in the hole, which is placed at the bottom of the base. Next I glued a ferromagnetic foil to multibases(movement trays). In this case I can easily remove models from one multibase to another. I stole this idea from Kazan, who also runs a g...

Hi, Last year I fell in love with Kings of War. Few months ago I bought an army in this page of Forces of the Abyss from Mantic, so this unboxing won't be 100 % new. Therefore it has some advantages, because I can describe you how putting it together has come. In this box we get 8 plastic sprues with 5 Lower Abyssals, which can also be assembled into Flamebearers.  Also it contains 4 plastic sprues with 5 Succubi, 10 plastic Abyssal Horsemen in pieces and 1 metal character in pieces. Plastic Imps are added to sprues of other models. Till now I’ve made 20 Lower Abyssals, 5 Succubi, 1 Abyssal Horseman and the Character. Unfortunately Lower Abyssals contain a lot of mould lines, so putting it together takes plenty of time. Luckily, Succubi have fewer mould lines than models above. When I’ve worked with the character, I was pleasantly surprised. Despite that the model is made from metal it is easy to clean and shape it. Abyssal Horsemen are a story of their own, so I’ll describe ...
