Agree with you on the Stormcast, looks the same and the background feels a bit..mehh. But bought the Lost and the Damned book and are having so much fun rolling up warbands and thinking about conversions. Have an idea about doing at least one warband each for the gods, but must try too stay focused on the Nurgle one I already doing. Looking forward to see this dude painted!

I just can´t work up any enthusiasm for the setting and it doesn´t really feel like the writers can either. <br /><br />But if you like it that´s great! The game seems fun, but I´ll wait until they release something more up my alley.

I`m quite pleased with that bird head - the original model could have benefited from something more different to the head of the robed plastic sorcerer.

If you enjoy AoS for what it is, a narrative driven game where you and your opponent at least roughly need to agree upon what you want out of the game those books are essential. They give you scenarios to reenact and rules for where (which realm) it all happened giving another layer. With that said I'd personally recommend QfGM as it's an overall more enjoyable book and on a level you can actually relate to. This isn't the case for the first book tbh.<br /><br />There. Over to seeing your awesome miniatures again :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705381808337789656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634605429843463825.post-46444640601090683252015-09-07T04:53:35.708+02:002015-09-07T04:53:35.708+02:00That's a very cool looking conversion!

You managed to completely change the image of that Tzeentchean sorcerer model (he now look like a battle wizard... swords and sorcery as you said)! The griffon head fits really well with maintaining the Tzeentch theme. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing where the model goes!
