Kemist and Riggers

The Mistress's Endrinriggers

Aether Kemist Bob Boyl

This past weekend, I finished up the two new units I adding in my 1,500 point army.  The Aether-Kemist Bob Boyl and the Endrinriggers of the Mistress.  The scheme I have going for my Kharadon's has turned out to be both rewarding and straightforward now that I have painted a bit more than 20 individuals and 2 ships.  Next up is a unit of 10 more Arkanauts to round out the 1.5k list.  After that, 10 more Arkanauts and either an Ironclad or Frigate and another unit of Endrinriggers.

I also played a 1.5k point game Saturday night.  For that I turn to Drakeslayer's log.

Hawkjn's Spears

This past weekend, I completed Hawkjn's Spears, a unit of six Skywardens.  The kit proves fairly versatile with each of the models not looking like two sets of the same models.  Painting things differently helps to break them up as well.

In addition, on Saturday at my FLGS, my Kharadon Overlords were named best painted for the 1,000 point tier of an Age of Sigmar escalation league.  I am really happy with that and having completed painting the force before the step ended.  Painting up 3-more of Hawkjn's Spears is the first thing for my 1,500 point army.  Alongside the three Skywardens, I have assembled and prime three Endrinriggers, a second 10-man Arkanaut Company, and an Aether-Kemist.

The Harlot Lets Fly

The Harlot

This past weekend, I painted the Screening Harlot, a Gunhauler.  This completed my 960 point Kharardon Overlords army.  It is illegal under Matched Play due to not having a second Arkanaut Company (my only Battleline).

Painting the runes on the ships I think gives them a lot of character that they would be lacking otherwise.  It breaks up the blue on the hulls nicely.  It went pretty quickly, thanks to knowing what most of the scheme would be.  I also showed off the completed army at my FLGS, Lost Planet and got lots of compliments.

Next up is increasing Hawkjn's Spears (Skywardens) to a total of six and giving them a Grappling Hook to make them even speedier, better enabling an alpha strike against a threatening unit.  I intend to follow those three up with a second Arkanaut Company, making the army legal!  This will leave me with 320 points for 1,500 points.

My intent is to add an Ather-Kemist (140 pts) and possibly a three-balloon unit of Endrinriggers (120 pts).  This again leaves me with 60 points remaining at 1,500 points.  Going up to 2,000 points is morphing as I consider my options.  Another unit of Arkanuts is necessary for RAW Matched Play, leaving me with 440 points...  maybe an Ironclad or a second Frigate and more balloons and be down 40 points.  🤔

The Mistress Sets Sail

This past week, I completed the first Frigate of my Kharadon Overlords - the Tempest's Mistress.  This is the first large model I have painted in a while and has lots of different pieces that are not flat like the armor of a Astrates tank or even Eldar tank.  I really enjoyed the model and like how it turned out.
