Wouldn't the Other Trickster's Shard force you to reroll some of the ward saves granted by the Flag of Blood Keep?

I not only would like to see the vampires and the tomb kings remain separate, I'd like to see them divided over the return of Nagash. Historically, the dead don't like Nagash. There's a lot of old flavor about the vampires opposing him, as well as the tomb kings. Current lore may have the Von...

I'm glad that somebody, somewhere likes that Dark Elf model. I consider it one of the worst sculpts I've ever seen.

In 6th ed, Necrarchs had an automatic +1 to their casting values, were the only vampires who could be level 4 wizards, had greater access to arcane magic items (thralls could take them), could not take mundane weapons or armor, and suffered a -2 WS penalty. The Necrarch bloodline powers were...

Bat swarms are unit size: 2+. I also don't see a list built around it accomplishing much, but if you've got the relevant units and you're not relying on a necromancer for your primary source of Invocations, I think it allows for some pretty dynamic shenanigans. I played the list again today...

Ideally, I want to have 33 extra zombies for each zombie unit I bring. I arrived at that number from average dice raising 11 (2d6 + 4) per turn for three turns before they start hemorrhaging bodies in combat. I've been playing with Summon Creatures of the Night recently. I use two 5-strong...

I tried Summon Creatures of the Night in my last game, versus Skaven. My army contained 2 units of 5 dire wolves, a unit of 5 fell bats, and a unit of 2 bat swarms. The bat swarms and one of the wolf darts were out of range of Invocation, but in the first turn the fell bats went from 5 models to...

Mr Saturday's Ettin for Living Doll.

Yes. Mannfred can gain Summon Creatures of the Night, which he already has, and Ghorst can gain Master of the Dead, which he can't use on account of not being allowed Invocation of Nehek. That's a third of our possible advancements, leaving us four versus the eleven possible advancements allowed...

Incidentally, is there a generally agreed-upon fix for the problems with the Bitter Experience tables in the back?

Yeah, we're at a pretty severe disadvantage here. I would deploy Ghorst on the far left side of the wall, parallel to and behind it. This way, if the cannon strikes the wall, you're fine (though the wall's gone), but if the cannon overshoots the wall, you're less likely to get hit. Then on your...

Wow! I'm so glad you've painted this. Not only does it look great, but in the unpainted pictures I had a lot of trouble deciphering what I was looking at and figuring out what was going on. Now that it's painted it all makes sense! And it's freaking amazing.

Baron Samedi's plog features a number of gorilla models. He hasn't posted anything in over a year, but I think he does talk in the plog about where the models came from. (And the plog is fantastic and worth clicking through regardless.)

I agree with Mad, I really like how dynamic they look. 7 days? I think your idea of "a timely fashion" is much timelier than mine.

I just saw your entries for the Golden Bat. I'm pretty sure you don't need me to tell you how to do fine detail; those zombies are stunning! Nevertheless, I'm thinking about how to do such a tutorial. There's some universal aspects to fine detail: paint consistency, brush charge, maintaining the...

Here's my Golden Bat entries. The Duchess Miriam of Blaylock: I've always really liked this model, but never really felt like I'd seen anything too interesting done with it. Maybe I just see the model differently. I know it isn't a popular piece. I also noticed that the studio...

Thanks Mad 'At! I really like your stuff, so it means a lot to me. Also, I like people who juggle 18% more than other people. (My partner and I started working on stealing clubs today.) I'm still waiting to see what you enter in the Golden Bat. At some point I noticed that the most interesting...

I apply lighting effects with glazes. Acrylic mediums come in gloss and matte, but they work the same, and I don't think it matters how shiny it is because the varnish is going to determine how glossy the model ends up being. (I use a coat of gloss varnish for durability, and then two coats of...

This plog is full of so much win. I love it.
