Warhammer: Demigryph Knights wip & a Small OOP Treat!


With the Warrior Priest finished and painting I decided this week to keep the momentum up by doing some work on the troop stuff. Firstly I magnetized the halberd horde and characters; including the Warrior Priest. It is so much easier moving this unit around now, and not having to worry about the regimental standard and battle standard bearer toppling over! I am using 10mm diameter discs at 1mm thick, with a little greenstuff underneath. This weekend I am intending to work on the Demigryph Knights, as I really like the miniatures, however I have had one minor issue so far. The problem is a testament to how long it has been since I last put cavalry together; considering my last two Warhammer armies were Beastmen and Dwarfs; I made the rookie mistake during the building process of gluing the riders to the mounts. Naturally once I had undercoated them and was about to start painting the barding, I noticed the problem immediately. Needless to say after much cursing, ripping and re-gluing, the riders are now off the mounts.

Gallery: Empire Warrior Priest with Hand Weapon & Shield


The Warrior Priests are one of the most iconic images in Warhammer, thanks mainly to the intro videos of the Warhammer: Battle March and Warhammer Online video games. The idea of one man's faith standing up to the forces of Chaos is such a great image, that I had to have one of these characters leading my fledgling Empire army. I managed a nice and quick job, taking only one evening to finish and I hope to be just as fast working my way through the infantry blocks.

I intend to include another Warrior Priest in the army at 2000+ points, perhaps the Forge World 2013 release as it is such a nice model, but I could easily see myself painting all the current Warrior Priest releases just for the sake of, since they are such great miniatures.

Warhammer: Warrior Priest WIP



After so many weeks building and cleaning my Empire army, I have been chomping at the bit to do some actual painting. At the start of this week I started cleaning the atrociously cast Warrior Priest who features in my army list. I actually had to purchase two copies of the miniature due to how poor the first cast was; but to no avail; the second cast was just as terrible, so I set to work trying to make one of the miniatures usable. Below is the second version of the figure (the one I ended up using is as bad if not worse than the one pictured), I don't know how much of the defects are visible from the photo, but I had to contend with lots of bubbles (as to be expected), lots of pink rubbery residue in the hood specifically and very deep mold lines from where the molds had slipped (probably).

There will be a wide range of figures available, most will be second hand, built but never painted and in some cases completely brand new in box with original wrapping. I will be adding auctions everyday from now, starting at 7:30pm (UK time) with each auction running for 7 days.

Currently on auction are some Scibor dwarves and Warmachine Khador stuff, going up this evening, will be more Warmachine Khador figures, complete with current cards. I do have some old gems like Squats, various Rogue Trader era Space Marines, AT-43, Confrontation Drunes, Orcs etc all of which will be on auction, so please check daily to avoid missing out.
