My Cogfort, Golden Goliath. My plan was to finish this in time for embargo, but I missed that deadline. Then the plan was to finish it in time for a game, then I missed that. Then, finish it in time for my trip to Japan, then I missed that too. Some 44 days after starting it, I finished this giant plastic albatross of a model, and it was an absolute journey to paint. Expect an extremely lengthy writeup on TabletopBattles.com soon. Thanks to Games Workshop for the preview copy!

The first Squad of Black Guard are finished! I’m enjoying the color scheme. . .. ... .... .....

It rains. The grasslands turn to mulch. The pastures, already shot through with rot from the now days-dead cattle, are piled. An orruk lays against a grunter. A freeguilder clutches his gut. A Hedge Knight lays, his sword still buried to its hilt in the chest of a greenskin leader. All dead. Out on the left flank, there is only more death. Flame and smoke. Offal. Scraps of clothes, still clinging to something red and unrecognisable. A battered yellow helmet. He stumbles through the smoke. Shirtless, he steams with sweat, but it's lost in the pall of acrid smoke. He has a mattock in his hand, limp. There's coughing in the smoke, and screaming, but he cannot hear it. He only hears ringing. From the smoke, comes a shape. He's big, bigger than most men, a Ghur man - but this is something else. An orruk warlord, its pig-iron armour blackened and shorn by a direct hit from the rocket battery. Its hand is a ruined mess. The other, spasming claw holds an axe. Its jaw hinges in a gutteral roar. It sounds like ringing. He hefts his mattock. Stumbling from the smoke, at his back, come more men - arms bare, some humans, some duardin, most from Ghur but many otherwise. All bloodied, all coughing smoke, all with pickaxes and hammers and mattocks. Some still have their helmets. Some even still have the candles burning, affixed to hafts and helms. The Az Caraz Mining Company, deaf and dying, charges armour-piercing picks point first. #paintingwarhammer #gamesworkshop #citiesofsigmar #freeguild #freeguildguard #freeguildhalberdiers #kitbash #conversion #chaosmarauders #dwarfminers #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #warhammeraos #ageofsigmar #aos #warhammerdogsofwar #regimentsofrenown #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday16 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3aT4i2n3wp/?igshid=1klgsf3pyvi1i

A set of the new Freeguild Gallants from the Spearhead: City of Ash box. These guys were a ton of work, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I stuck with just one livery for the whole squad this time, as figuring that out on the Freeguild Cavaliers was a bit too much. Thanks to GW for the preview copy!

Jorvan Kreel and his ash-panther, Thexa, also from the City of Ash set. I went for an Aragorn/Geralt of Rivia color palette on Jorvan, thile I painted Thexa in tribute to our cat Esmeralda, who passed away recently. Thanks to GW for the preview copy.

New Mallus Forgepriest from the City of Ash box! He was a fun update on an old classic. Thanks to to GW for the preview copy!

This is probably the most work I've ever put into a unit, especially one that's only around 100 points. The Freeguild Fusiliers are models I absolutely love, but every step from assembly, to painting, to photography was a real challenge. I can't see myself fielding a proper gunline of them, but I'm glad I've at least got a regiment done!
