I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a third world war
And the police said this was normal control
Candle's burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
Soundgarden
"Mind Riot"
Badmotorfinger
A&M Records 1991
Pushing it to the very wire this time.
April was even tougher than March, I had to scale back the command group from my original plan for 7 Warlocks plus Eldrad. Not much to say other than I wish I had put more effort into these guys than I did, but my state of mind was all over the map this month. May is looking better, at least.

I'll be taking these to a GW event in the near future - with the units I completed last year in the same style, I'll just be able to field a weird but functional Ulthwe' army in a series of Narrative games, so that's pretty exciting. I wonder if anyone will get what I'm going for with this project.
Eldrad Ulthran w/Staff of Ulthamar - 220 points
Warlock Champion w/Force Sword - 97 points
Warlock Champion w/Witchblade - 97 points
Warlock Master w/Singing Spear - 152 points
566 points for April 2022 (992 points painted so far)

For quick they look great! And I love the colors on the warlocks!
ReplyDeleteSumptuous! These would grace any GW table anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI like the tie in with the Soundgarden Lyrics - very Eldar psyker-esque.
Your yellows are always so good. Great work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing colours
ReplyDeleteNext year, I'm paint mine!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, love the clean style, the freehand runes and smooth blending. How many gems this month?
ReplyDeleteAlways a challenge to paint bright colours on top of dark colours, especially black. Smashed it - they're flipping lovely!
