Everything has an end : Slaaneshchild's wrap up post !

 So everything has an end apparently, even the OWAC !

As I am planning to go on holidays soon, I do my last post as soon as I can. But first of all, the wrap-up picture, behold your dear grim reaper with his minions ! 


As you can see on the picture, my power is so strong that I can bend reality to my will ! Even the background is disturbed. Mouahah.

This year was pretty exciting, this minotaur warband was pretty fun to paint, I think I never felt too bored about it. They are not on the picture but I already have 9 minotaurs, so, as I painted 15 minotaurs this year, I can now make 4 units of 6 minotaurs each. Impressive, isn't ?

I also painted beastmen in a previous challenge, so I have now 2 units of "gors" and one unit of "bestigors" (remember the vicious snakemen ?), plus hounds, ungors, harpies, and other stuff. It's a big horde !

Here are so details, but you already know all of them : 















I also finished those standards I started 3 years ago. They are clearly oversized for the dark elves, but, why not ? They are led by Slaanesh and their kinky mind.



And, last but not least, I played today with my army of minotaurs, it was a pretty interesting game, versus Orcs and Goblins. The minions of Slaanesh have won !

Some pictures of the battle : 



the deploiement

here come the minions of the Dark Prince


the approach...



Chaaaaaaarge !!!! The clash of the armies

MOuahah they are weak !!

Gasp !! The dragon is flanking my beastmen !! 


Kill them all !!! 


Et voilà ! 

Next year I will be painting undead I think... OR an army of dark elves full of creatures and dragons, to illustrate the artworks of my childhood.

This Ocho was so great !! Can't wait for the next one ! See you on the battlefield !

Slaaneshchild.

Tom's Orcs and Goblins - Wrap Up






The last squig hopper I could find, got some paint...👇




I also saw that I had neglected to paint the eyelids on one of the previous hoppers, so I corrected that. Here's a pic of them all together 👇




That kinda wraps up the extra paintwork I have done this month. I had really envisioned that I'd be able to complete the black orc unit as a minimum, but as predicted - motivation has completely left 😭


Here's a quick pic to see the state of the army at the end of February - two months into the challenge.👇
As you can see, it's pretty much the original army list completed and just the extras to paint (archers, black orcs, wyvern and hoppers). Thankfully I held back on posting as a lot of real life happened which meant no painting, and then the unenviable loss of mojo :( 
Nevertheless, I still think this O&G army is my best work and I'm really proud of it. I can really see myself adding to it in the future, which is nice. I have many more monopose O&G's in the grey pile!




Sooo, all that leaves is some pics of my Orcs and
Goblins of OWAC VIII!
Apologies for these, the light was super different and washed everything out a bit. The links back through the OWAC are at the bottom of the post, and there'll be better pics on the link



Ideally I'd have loved to have taken some set pics with all the terrain and some other armies but this month has still been a little hectic. Might well be some later on my Instagram (link)
