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.

 The Imperial Noble, Warrior Priest, and War Dancer models are STLs I got from Tonoborus again. You can get them here.

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.

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

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.

All the Monsters, all over the place.

 So lots of pictures to show off. Lets get started.

4 Cookie sheets, 558 monsters and 4 Warriors.

 

To this point I've been storing monsters on cookie sheets. Organizing them in the order I paint them. So Cookie sheet #1 is entirly Level 1 and Cookie sheet #4 is all my most recent painted things. There wasn't quite enough space for everything on 4 sheets, so the 4 Warriors, Nagash and Vermin Lord are just hanging out on the edges.

Lets look at the monsters by Monster type closer up. First up, Orc & Goblins:

10x Black Orcs, Black Orc Champion, 12 Orc, 6 Orc Bowmen, Orc Shaman, Orc Hero, 3 Goblin Shamans, Goblin Hero, 12 Goblin Spearmen, 12 Goblin Archers, 6 Goblin Netters, 6 Goblin Squig Hunters, 6 Squigs, 12 Snotlings, & 3 Fanatics.

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

Doors, Ohhh and I finished all the Monsters

 

So lets start off with some distractions. I'm hoping to start actually playing Warhammer Quest using all this stuff I made some time soon. I hadn't painted the doors yet, so I knocked that out quick.

 

9 normal doors, 2 Locked doors, and 1 Portcullis.

 

These are 3d printed like everything else, but I actually kept them at the normal size. Having the doors larger proportionally than my models and dungeon tiles, makes it easier for Cavalry Models and large models to fit inside them while half in one room and half in another. I got this STL from our old friend Tonoborus. Here they are at normal WHQ size. Here they are at Tiny Quest size.

I had to edit the "stand" part of the doors to work with my Custom Printed tiles.

I then edit his file to have a shut or locked door by adding this file.

I then edit the file again to have a Portcullis by adding this file. 

I spray painted all of these using "Mechanicus Standard Grey" and then dry brushed over that with "Administratum Grey". From there picked out metal with "Iron Breaker", wood with "XV-88", and Skulls with "Screaming Skull" and washed with "Skeleton Horde".

I think I'll print 2 more Portcullis and 6 more normal doors down the road. 

Next up, there are still some models I would replace as soon as I can get specific STLs I'm looking for.

I've been looking for the following ( most of the versions I'm looking for were available in late 90s - early 2000s)
Plastic Witch Elves (Glorious 80s hair)
Metal Witch Elves (Glorious 80s hair)
Chaos Hounds (high variety scorpion tales, scales)
Hydra
Dark Elf Beastmaster
Isabella Von Carstien
Original Mighty Zug from Blood Bowl
And Boneripper (Rat Ogre Special Character)

As it turns out Boneripper showed up in one of my Telegram Groups. So I printed him right away to replace one of the Rat Ogres I already had finished.

 

 Boneripper Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Tail, Ears, and Nose: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Fur: "Catachan Flesh" and dry brushed over with "XV-88"
Pimples: "Mephiston Red" dotted with "Flash Gitz Yellow"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boneripper joined by my original Rat Ogres.

So last we left, I had 3 monsters left to paint. 3rd Vampire, Vermin Lord, and Liche King. So lets start with the smallest guy.

 

I had hoped I would find the Isebella Von Carstien by the time I needed to paint my 3rd Vampire. Sadly still haven't found her STL yet, so I'll have to make do with the Generic Von Carstein model. This STL was found in one of my Telegram groups.

Vampire Paint:
Skin: "Corax White" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Cape & Cloth:  "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthsade" Wash or "Aboddon Black" /w dry brush "Dawnstone" grey
Teeth: "White Scar" white
Sash belt: "Kantor Blue"  /w "Agrax Earthsade" Wash 
Blade: "Sotek Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Skulls:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

 

As discussed in my last article, I need a "normal" of each greater daemon and a extra large "exalted" of each great daemon. This includes the Vermin Lord. Problem is, the model I want to use for the exalted Vermin Lord was the first ever Vermin Lord. So I needed a simpler less impressive version for my normal Vermin Lord. I had come across a conversion someone had made using the "Dweller in the Dark" model from Lord of the Rings. I followed what they did. Remove the wings, give him a rat face (stolen from Wolf Rat) and gave him a Glaive Weapon (stolen from normal Vermin Lord). I found the STL in yet another Telegram groups, this group dedicated to Lord of the Rings.

Vermin Lord Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Fur: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Agrax Earthshade" wash
Skull, Horns, Elbo Spikes, & Hooves:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Glaive Pummel:  "Moot Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Glaive Staff: "XV-88"
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Tail, Ears, & Nose: "Emperor's Children" Pink

 

 

 

 

 

Last, but not least. We need a Liche King. I was kinda surprised this showed up in the Original Warhammer Quest Monster Encounter Tables. I had assumed we added him. Liche King is a Liche that counts as a Large Monster. I can't think of a better model than old Mr. Cheeks himself, Nagash. 

Small aside. Nagash was the first Warhammer model I ever purchased. It was for my friend's Undead army for his birthday. We were in middle school, meaning this happened in the mid-90s. Painting this was awesome. The nostalgia hit hard and just seemed fitting to be the last monster I need to paint for the main game. This STL was found in one of my Telegram groups.

 

Liche King Paint:
Face-Skull, Hands, & all the tiny skulls:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Magic Sword:  "Moot Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Hat Wings, Scabbard, & Topper Bat: "Mephistone Red"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Book of the Dead: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth: "White Scar" white
Cloak: "Xereus Purple" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash and dry brushed with "Genestealer Purple"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm up to 558 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 10/01/25.  

That's the entire Old World monster encounter table. I painted the first miniature for this project on 12/31/24 (a giant spider). 274 days. Averaging about 2 miniatures painted per day.

Next Project: paint all Warriors, NPCs, Summons, and Hirelings needed. If I have my math right, that's 70 models. I have 51 3D printed already and 4 painted so far. This should be a cake walk.

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