Woldwatcher

After a recent focus on building terrain, and before that readying a painted playable BMG crew, I have recently returned to some 'other painting' after a lay-off of a couple of weeks from the hairy sticks.

I started this Circle Orboros Hordes Woldwatcher mini a few weeks ago, before I dove into getting that recent terrain done, and started it again in the last few days.

With this force, I have gone for a slightly simpler painting approach, which helps with speeding up painting. That said, the ropes on the Woldwatcher, and before it the Woldwyrd, have been a bit of a pain as I have found them quite fiddly to do.

Like the Woldwyrd, this Woldwatcher is a Light Warbeast, and each clocks in at 5 points. With the Shifting Stones that takes me to 12 points of painted minis so far. If I take my planned Baldur Stonesoul as my Warlock, then I need to paint another 8 points or so of stuff. I could drop out the Shifting Stones to allow room for a Heavy Warbeast, which would require a 1 point addition, such as a Feralgeist which I have part-painted. I shall see how I progress. This will probably be a bit of a slow-burn project, but that progress may also depend on how my gaming buddy Rob gets on with his Khador stuff. If he adds more, that will spur me on, no doubt.

  1. Wonderful painting Pulpcitizen, absolutely stunning. Lovely subtle colours and the rune glow is very well done. I've not gotten into this game at all but you certainly make it appealing :-)

    1. Thanks very much for the very kind and complimentary words. :)

      I am quite a way off playing the game, but working to have a playable force available eventually. :)

  2. Lovely job dude! I really like how you are using a limited pallete on this force.

    1. Cheers Bob. :)

      I want there to be a recognisable uniformity of the Wold and Stone stuff. Variety will come through the other models like the Warlock, any Solos etc.

  3. Very nice mate! Love the paint scheme and what a cool looking figure. I know what you mean about being freed to paint other stuff its kind of liberating. Hoping to hit the brushes tonight.

      Not so big; this is on a 40 mm base so a small Warbeast compared to your heavy Warjack. There are bigger bundles of sticks and stones to follow... :)
