Do round bases demand a trigger warning? You’ll have to bear with me for a bit, as this humble warband of beastmen was indeed intended for use in the fantastic skirmish game Warcry back when I first made them almost three years ago. I never actually got the chance to play Warcry with them but instead managed to put them on the table for a few games of Space Weirdos, another great skirmish game. Yes, quite a wonky start for my WHFB army, I will confidently admit… But, three of these models would come to make the start of my Beastmen Brayherds army, soon to be on square bases.
I look back on these pictures with a bit of melancholy, not only because I was in an already isolated situation studying in the northern swedish town of Piteå, in addition to the covid-19 restrictions… But also because the terrain surrounding them was destroyed in a fire at the local game store which I lended it to. Yes, seriously. But I consider myself lucky that I did not have any of my models there… But let’s leave the past in the past and the snowy, desolate north behind as we travel to the current day and to the Drakwald forest…
… And here, in a dank cave, we find my warlord: Nidhogg the Deathbreather, pictured below an image I found on google images which was the inspiration for the color scheme.
I understand that it might seem strange to do the warlord this early, but it actually kind of just happened. What you will learn about me in the following blog posts is that I am quite an erratic hobbyist - I let my hobbying lead me, not the other way around. I also have ADD which doesn’t help in this aspect. This chemical imbalance can result in a lot of half-finished models, sure, but it can also result in some fun multi-media stuff too. More on that later.
But in this case, we’re pretty much finished… All that’s left to do with Nidhogg is to add him to a base.
Here is the second model I painted recently for the Thorns of Chaos, say “UUURGGHH!!!!” to Hard-hoof (C27), also fully painted but not yet based.
It’s worthy to note that I have an instagram account on which I will share more progress pictures parallel to this blog, so look me up on there if you want to chat or check out my other stuff: @scatteredflesh.
At this point, you’ve pretty much seen all of my finished models from this new endeavor. Here is some fun WIP shots of a chariot I’m building, some stripping I’ve done and other fun stuff. But it’s not all just pictures! Scroll all the way to the end and you will find something special I cooked up just for this first post of mine… Okay okay I’ll tell you what it is. It’s the first chapter of the story of the Thorns of Chaos and their warlord, Nidhogg the Deathbreather, presented in audio format together with a soundtrack I wrote and recorded.
Here is the beforementioned audio format lore for the 'Thorns of Chaos', ENJOY!
