Some Heroes lost in the Woods

 

On October 8th, I posted another poll on what to paint next. The results were as follows:

1st: High Elf Mage

2nd: Ogre (warrior not monster)

3rd, 4th, & 5th: Norscan Berserker,  Kislevite Shaman (Crow), & Treeman (Summon)

6th, 7th, & 8th: Kislevite Shaman (Wolf), Dryads (Summons), and Faerie (Summon). 

 

High Elf Mage. This model is the older model for Teclis and I found the STL on telegram.

.

High Elf Mage Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Cape & Hat:  "Sotek Green" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Robes: "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Next up Ogre warrior! This guy is the Ogre Bodyguard from Mordheim. I found the STL on telegram.

Ogre Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Ironebreaker" Silver /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Rope & Basket:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Vest:  "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Axe handle, Belts, & Leather Cap: "Catachan Flesh" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Jeans: "Kantor Blue" drybrushed over with "Sotek Green"

Bag covering Basket: "Abaddon Black"  drybrushed over with "Administratum Grey"

Norscan Berserker. Not sure where this class originates, GW supplement? Fan Made? no clue. But we have it as one of our 30 finished Warrior Classes for Black Hills Warhammer Quest. As far as I know there was never an official model. So I spent time digging, I wanted something that was GW if possible and was distinct from the Barbarian model. The model I ended up choosing is from a current GW product, Darkaoth Savage Warcry Warband. I liked the one wielding a 2 handed axe. I was able to find the whole group as STLs on telegram.

 

Berserker Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Rope & Basket:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Hair:  "Trollslayer Orange" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash" 

Loin-cloth: "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Leather Straps & Kilt: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Fur on Boots: "Administratum Grey" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Boots: "Administratum Grey" /w "Templar Black" Wash 

Leather on Axe handle: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Wood Axe handle: "Catachan Flesh"

Gem on Belt: "Sotek Green"
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Kislevite Shaman, comes in two versions, a combat wizard (wolf) or more full wizard with more powerful casting abilities (Crow). When GW released the supplemental rules for this class, they didn't make new models, they just repurposed some existing Empire Wizards. Amber Wizard for Wolf, and Grey Wizard for Crow. I found both STLs for these old school empire wizards on Telegram.

Shaman (Crow) Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Cloak, Hat, & Feathers:  "Kantor Blue" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Hair & Beard: "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Under-robes:  "Administratum Grey" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Skulls: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Staff: "Catachan Flesh"

Boots: "Abaddon Black" 

Shaman (Wolf) Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Ironebreaker" Silver  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair Braids:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Polar Bear Furs:  "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Spear Head: "Administratum Grey" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Spear Pole:  "Catachan Flesh"

Leather Boots & Under-Cloak: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Skulls: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Leather Wraps on Spear, Arm band, Kilt: "Mephiston Red"  /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

 

When our group (Black Hills Warhammer Quest) re-wrote the rules, we made a ton of changes. I don't really even know how the original Druid worked. I'm pretty sure we added summoning that it didn't have. If it summons monsters, it unsummons any it currently has. So at most it can have one Faerie, or it can have up to 4 Dryads, or it can have a Treeman. Each summon is a different spell that must be learned in the same way as other spells, and each has its own power cost. Summon Treeman is limited to once per adventure. Like NPCs, if a summon reaches 0 wounds it dies instantly, no chance to heal it from zero before its gone. 

Treeman got the most votes of the Druid Summons, so lets show him off first. This is one of two generic Treeman models from years long past. I found this STL on Telegram.

Treeman Paint:

Light Wood: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Dark Wood: "Catachan Flesh" by brushed over with mix (50/50 Catachan Flesh & White Scar")

Birch (or paper) Tree Wood: "Corax White" /w "Soulblight Grey" wash

Green Bark:  "Warpstone Glow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Teeth & Claws:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Foliage: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Moot Green and White Scar")

Armpit Mushrooms: "Emporer's Children" Pink  /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash" then dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Emperor's Children Pink and White Scar)

Mouth, Eyes, & Nose: "Black Templar" Wash
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dryads for Druid Summons. These are the old school "log" dryads instead of the newer "twig" dryads that are a lot skinnier. These were again found on Telegram.

Dryad Paint:

Light Wood: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Dark Wood: "Catachan Flesh" by brushed over with mix (50/50 Catachan Flesh & White Scar")

Teeth & Claws:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Foliage: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Moot Green and White Scar")

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faerie for Druid summons. I figured at first I would have to leave GW to find a small Faerie STL. The issue here is I found none. Nothing that would work. Then I remembered the old school "Ariel, Mage Queen of Loren" model. With some work, I could make her work. First I removed the staff and closed that hand. Then I put her aloft on a stand like I did with the Giant Bats. Then printed it. This didn't work. I had made her about half the size of the model pictured below and it printed poorly. So I went back in, increased the size of the whole model, then increased the arms, head, and hair by about 30% more. This printed much better. Again Telegram helped me find this STL. (Elf in pictures for scale only)

Faerie Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair Braids:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Cloak: "Warpstone Glow" (Slap-chopped over Scar White)

Wings: Mostly covered with "Slayer Orange" then added "Mephiston Red" & "Sotek Green" spots. Then used "Abaddon Black" to define edges. Lastly added tiny dots of  "White Scar".

Stand: "Aboddon Black" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that we have all the  Druid Summons, lets see them together with their summoner.

 

This puts me to 24 of our 30 Warrior classes painted. The other 6 still need 3D printed first. So lets do a group picture!

Back row: Kislevite Shaman, Norscan Berserker, High Elf Mage, Ogre
Next row: Lord of Anerion, Bounty Hunter, Druid, Swashbuckler
Next row: Outlaw, War Dancer, Warrior Priest, Chaos Warrior, Elf Bard
Next row: Bretonian Knight, Dwarf Slayer, Pit Fighter, Witch Hunter, Imperial Noble
Front row: Dwarf Brewmaster, Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard, Halfling Thief

I have 5 Summons for the Shaman to paint, 2 Wereforms for the Shaman to paint (missing 3rd Wereform), 4 Chaos Warrior with marks to paint, & 3 Amazon companions to paint. This makes for a total of 14 models I can paint, before catching up to all models I have printed so far.

 

The six classes I need to print off are: Amazon, Assassin, Chainsaw Warrior, Dwarf Runesmith, Ex-BloodBowl Player, & Elf Ranger.

 

I'm up to 31 Warriors & Pals painted, 45 are 3D printed of the 72 needed as of 10/27/25. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

More warriors more problems

 

Little longer than usual since my last update. I went to Houston, Texas to help judge a Magic: The Gathering event, and was out of town from Oct 16- Oct 21. I finished all these miniatures before leaving town. 

I was working through 8 Warriors from a Poll. I had finished 2 of them, so lets move into the last 6.

The poll results were:

1) Chaos Warrior (finished)

2-4) Dwarf Brewmaster (finished), Halfling Thief, Elf Ranger - three way tie

5-6) Druid & Swashbuckler - two way tie

7-8) Bounty Hunter and Lord of Aenerion - two way tie

 

Halfling Thief. This model is from Mordheim and I found the STL on telegram.

.

Halfling Thief Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Jacket & Mask:  "Sotek Green"

Undershirt: "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Pants: "Administratum Grey" /w "Black Templar" wash

Cape: "Warpstone Glow" 

Backpack & Belts: "XV-88"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

This model was originally supposed to be the Elf Ranger. It also came from Mordheim and I found the STL on Telegram. As I began painting it, I noticed she had a Lyre tucked under her right arm. That means this model would work better for the Bard Class I made. The Bard Class sings songs that work similar to spells. She buffs players and heals. No where near as good at casting as a wizard. She is talented with a bow, but no where near as good as the Elf class. And she regularly convinces NPC warriors to join the party for an adventure. I have found a suitable replacement for the Elf Ranger, but need to get it 3d printed.

Elven Bard Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Skirt:  "Sotek Green"

Boots & Bow: "XV-88" 

Cape: "Warpstone Glow" /w "Black Templar" wash and "White Scar" pattern

 

 

 

The Swashbuckler is yet another Mordheim model that I found the STL on Telegram.

Swashbuckler Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair:  "Adminstratum Grey"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Pants: "Abaddon Black" /w "White Scar" stripes 

Overcoat & Hat: "Corax White" & "Mephiston Red" both  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Pistol Handle: "XV-88"

Shark Jaw Bones & Hat bone spike: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

For the Druid I decided to use the Albion Druid who would accompany the Albion Giants from the Dogs of War. I found this model on Telegram.

Druid Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Beard & Hair:  "Administratum Grey" dry brushed with "Corax White"

Robes "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"

Rope belt: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Head Wreath: "Warpstone Glow" dry brushed over with "Moot Green" 

Staff & Sickle Handle: "XV-88"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hip Bags:  "Mephiston Red"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bounty Hunter. This model was the Beast Hunter from Mordheim. I've switched out one of his axes for a crossbow as the Bounty Hunter in our rules has an affinity for crossbows. I also dropped his backpack thing as the bits will be to finicky at the smaller size.

Bounty Hunter Paint:

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Cape: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Loin Cloth: "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

Skin: "Catachan Flesh"

Belts & Boots: "XV-88"/w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Hood: "Sotek Green" (watered down a little)

Axes & Crossbow Handles: "Rhinox Hide"

Horns: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Crossbow Strings: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

 

 

Last miniature for today, Lord of Aenerion:

This model was the Champion model for Swordmasters of Hoeth. This STL was found on Telegram.  It's an elf that gets angrier and more dangerous the longer he is in combat, but then becomes weak when a combat ends until he has time to recover.

Lord of Aenerion Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Bone Horde Wash"

Painted Armour: "Sotek Green"

Gems: "Mephiston Red"

Belt: "XV-88"

I'm up to 20 Warriors & Pals painted, 45 are 3D printed of the 72 needed as of 10/16/25.  

I was at 51 models printed but 6 of the models I had, I've decided I need to replace (Dwarf Runesmith was printed too small, Chainsaw Warrior model printed poorly, Elf Ranger became Elven Bard, Assassin became Outlaw, Amazon printed both too small and poorly, and Ex-Blood Bowl Player was too small). 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

DeMagic Tutor out.

May we join your party?

 Last we left off, I was working through 8 Warriors from a Poll. I had finished 4 of them, so lets move on to the last 4.

So this next model I was originally going to use for the Assassin warrior class. But as I was painting it, I realized it worked better for the Outlaw. So I will need to find a new model for the Assassin. This model was originally for Mordheim and is "Johann the Knife". I found the STL model for this model in a Telegram group.

The results were:
1) Chaos Warrior
2-4) Dwarf Brewmaster, Halfling Thief, Elf Ranger - three way tie

New players have joined the game

 

So I finished painting all 558 monsters needed for the Old World Monster chart. Our group has added the equivalent of 4 major expansions that add another 637 monsters. Before I move on to those expansions, I should finish all the Warriors (Player Characters). All Warrior Classes, plus Summons, plus Hireling, and NPC Warriors comes to 72 models.

I've already finished the base 4 (Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf & Wizard).

 

In the facebook group "Warhammer Quest!", on Sept 28th, I did another pole on what to paint next. 
The results were:
1) Bretonnian Knight
2) Dwarf Slayer
3) Pit Fighter
4-5) Witch Hunter & Imperial Noble - two way tie
6-8) Wood Elf War Dancer, Warrior Priest, and Assassin - three way tie

The voters have spoken, so lets paint the Knight first. The Bretonnian Knight (along with my Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard, Dwarf Slayer, Pit Fighter, and Witch Hunter) is a re-sculpt by Tonoborus. He has all these heroes for sale here. These are designed for the smaller scale (67% of normal Warhammer size) and have a bit of a "Chibby" style. Shorter arms and legs, bigger heads, hands, and feet.

 

 

Bretonnian Knight Paint:
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Helmet Wings:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"
