![]() For me I’ll continue to explore facets of Change and see where that takes me. So no, I am not done yet.Īs for Age of Sigmar, well I love it! It has thrown all walls and boundaries away and breathed life into what was stale and boring! I cannot wait to see the canon develop along with new factions, as well as the fanmade stuff such as on DAoS. An endless amount of possible rabbit holes to explore. And that’s quite representative of my tzeentch ventures. He is represented in multiple places as that is him down one potential rabbit hole that has played out. In addition my projects tell of a hapless soul who strive to divine the true path of Change. Several of my miniatures are based on the sketches in that very book and then drawn to life in tortured and strained flesh. My warband here is deeply inspired by the contents of Liber Chaotica Tzeentch. But all of that rule talk is boring! It is an endless discussion but these are my 5 Norwegian kroner for what it is worth in that matter. Playing with and against these is dependent on all involved accepting the miniatures for what they represent. Funny then that these projects of mine are for AoS and WHQ right? Well you’re not wrong in thinking that but as you can see from my selection, and if you browse deeper in my blog is that the expression is grimdark, Realm of Chaosy, Blanchitsu if you will. It is about making miniatures and painting them free of all of the normal ‘rules’ for doing so. Bigbossredskullsįor me INQ28 or Blanchitsu (and now AoS28) if you will is more about expression freed from the boundaries that rules provide. The scope is wider than the Old World or Mordheim – and if I dare say it the scope is wider than Inq28 – maybe because this is new it just seems that way. People always associate my work with the gothic but it would just leave me with half a palette – you got to inject a huge dash of the baroque as well – it’s not just austere and grim – it can be deliciously decorative, which works so well for vampires, Stormcasts or just about anything else really. I wouldn’t wish people to get to hung up on the grimdark thing either – it’s just a shorthand way of saying not too overdone and gaudy but more realistic and characterful in that grimey medieval way. The downtrodden and pathetic – those malformed and racked with maladies that are cast out from cities and farmsteads – those with plague, scrofula, palsy, and the old hag’s curse – those that live in the shadows, forests and darkwalds living as bandits and cutthroats. Individual character, dark and dangerous – portraying the underbelly of the Nine Realms whilst all the heroic big battles goes on all around – the scope of AOS as opposed to Mordheim is the joy of this – it’s so much more expansive and you can draw influences from a much more wider field than just what’s in the codicii. ![]() And even though sometimes the paintwork is quite abstract, they look realistic to me, like real monsters rather than toys.Īs I said in my article about Blanchitsu there is no one way to paint, no correct style or correct technique, but thinking outside of the box always has interesting results. They are all converted, they all look like they have been personalised – removing bits you don’t like and adding other bits. ![]() But AoS28 is a style and I think that these miniatures show that style: they are all painted in different ways but they are all a bit darker than the models you see on the box. Only a couple of these miniatures were created specifically for AoS28, a lot were created for The Silver Tower. However there are a few hobbyists that have been making dark fantasy miniatures for a while and I asked them to explain their approach to dark fantasy in general and the idea of AoS28 in the future. In the original post I described the three main characteristics (character, conversion and grimdark), but until more warbands are finished it is hard to show, rather than just tell what this looks like. AoS28 – The Dark Age of Sigmar – is going strong, and there have been so many great examples of dark fantasy miniatures submitted to the Facebook group, the TGA forum and on Twitter and Instagram that it is getting hard to keep track of them all.īut because the concept is still very new it is difficult to explain what makes a miniature suitable for AoS28.
