It Came from the Lightbox: Shadespire Terrain

I’m glad they finally put out some obstacles for Warhammer Underworlds.  These were basically a single sitting’s worth of work.  I forgot to photograph the throne, but who cares: it’s pretty dumb looking.

I’m happy with how the glowing pyramids came out.

Spiteclaw's Swarm

It Came from the Lightbox – Shadespire Skaven

I painted up the Shadespire Skaven over the weekend: I want to give them a try, and there’s no excuse for me to be playing anything in Shadespire unpainted.

It only took about a day and a half’s hobby time.  I don’t think they’re particularly noteworthy: just servicable Skaven.

I painted them up with my old approach to Skaven, but with a few differences:

  • I went with a pink, pale flesh instead of the yellowed flesh I used to use; I really like this.
  • The red turned out much brighter than it used to, I clearly don’t remember how I used to do it, but I don’t know where I went different.
  • The grey turned out alright, even though I used VMC and not GW paints

It came from the lightbox: Shadespire Sepulchral Guard

Of the four warbands I’ve painted for Shadespire, I’m easily the most happy with these. These specific models are why I picked up Shadespire; that they turned out the way they did makes me even happier with them.

Ironskull's Boyz

It came from the lightbox: Shadespire Ironjaws

I’m only somewhat satisfied with these boyz: the chipping on the armor is awful, and the checks and dags aren’t as tight as I’d like.  If I had a time machine, I’d go back and leave the yellow armor untouched.

But they’re done and I’m ready to Shade some Spires.

Targor

It came from the lightbox: Shadespire

These guys were speedpainted, so there are definitely things that could use touching up, but I’m satisfied with them.  In fact, while I’m “These are OK” about the Sigmarite Steelheart’s Champions, I’m actually very pleased with how the Khornate Garrek’s Reavers turned out.  Not perfect, but striking.
