Sweet.

I do love the look of the Salamander fleet and will definitely get round to doing one in due course.

Gigas and siren done.

Eckter

Edit - adding the next bunch of stuff.

Count-as wyrmriders; naiad centurion, envoy and stalker plus army so far.

I got myself two classic hills from GW. Considering they are GW, they are quite cheap with 34€ for two. I painted the first:

Not very alive, but I have gotten some units done.
It has been a while since I have painted for KoW, but this year I decided to get my undead painted. The aim is to get enough done to play undead at a Halloween tournament that my community has each year.

Deathpack or unit filler. The crawling claws are Wizkids and the rest is Mantic.

Wraiths. Bargain bin GW.

Undead keep coming, but slowly.

3D printed wights.

Sceleris · May 20, 2025, 2:37pm

Mantic Point thuuls.

Sceleris · May 23, 2025, 11:46am

My take on naiad heartpiercers and thuul.

Those loathsome little goblins are some of the best GW minions, makes for a great regiment of whatever little gribblies you need. Also nice job submerging dudes in the goop across all these units.

Working on my Fight Wagons

Sceleris · May 23, 2025, 10:23pm

Yeah, they are really characterful sculpts - my (now defunct ) abyssal ghouls were done with these as well.

They fit in with the swamp vibe and at 36 for £30rrp were too good an option to pass up.

I managed to complete my army in time for the Dortsche Krijgsheren tournament:

Many more pictures (and army list) here:

These took a bit longer.

DarkBlack · June 24, 2025, 12:25am

That’s the large infantry done. Now for zombies and skeletons.

TastyBagel · June 24, 2025, 12:32am

I don’t have it in me to build to a specific list, so kudos to your planning! Painting-wise, I love how everything here just pops. Great scheme and wonderful execution!

I don’t have much experience with the new units yet, but for what it’s worth, I’ve tried the Nagarri a bit, and they tend to need some protection. Dropping one of the Berserker regiments in front of them to screen and interdict might be a good idea.

Good luck!

Sceleris · June 26, 2025, 4:36pm

Kitbashed Kyroqsh done.

DarkBlack · June 29, 2025, 7:38pm

First unit of zombies.
The painting method is fairly quick and looks good enough for a mass, so I’ll do the other 70 this way too.

I painted a troop of hellhounds for my quasi abyssal army:
