RE: Redarmy27's Painting Log- Golden Bat Final Entry on page 26!
Alright, here’s the deal.
Over the past couple of weeks I haven’t wanted to really paint/post much on here due to getting ripped off by a trader for an entire Dark Elf army. Needless to say, he didn’t get away with my money but he sure as well attempted. To compound that, my bits for my WoC army won’t be here in time for the army painting challenge as well as the tournaments I wanted to be in.
It seems I am fighting an uphill battle in this hobby constantly so I’ve been in an off mood with working on anything.
However, I got one hell of a deal when it came to vampire counts ($150 for an entire army, everything you see below, but with a ton of extra zombies and skeletons!). I now have a list that I am running for the tournament that I can go to, in November. So I am now learning a completely new army and painting all of it by November 5th. Here goes nothing…
Here is the army list:
The list needs to be 2,200 points and meet the following requirements:
- Special, named, or unique characters (including any army lists that require special characters) are not allowed.
- A maximum of 3 identical core choices may be taken (regardless of equipment and other upgrades).
- Units cannot be more than 40 models nor 450 points (including all command, upgrades, magic items/banners). This restriction applies during the creation of the roster - unit size/cost may be increased during the game (for example - by joining characters to the unit). This restriction does not apply to characters.
- Vampire Counts: Cairn Wraiths and the Varghulf are each 0-1 choices. Maximum 5 model Cairn Wraith unit. Army may have a maximum of two units (total) of: Cairn Wraiths, the Black Coach or Spirit Hosts. Army may include a maximum of two of the following: Helm of Commandment, Master of the Black Arts, Drakenhoff Banner.

With that being said, I’m really buckling down now to complete this army. Here is the progress I made this weekend:
I’m thinking I need to accent the purples a bit more for the colors of the army, but it’s getting there.
Any C&C is appreciated.
