Title: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 08, 2012, 09:48:20 pm Here I'll consolidate my painting pledge. For this Tale, I've pledged overall -
Dhogu Yirnak Captain - 100 Dhogu Soothsayer - 40 4 Dhogu Spears - 60 2 Dhogu Bows - 30 4 Skerrat - 30 2 Trappers - 60 2 Dhogu Captain - 80 - 400 Delgon Malog - 250 2 KalGarkii - 20 - 270 Devanu 6 Kosok - 150 3 Grishak Kopa - 150 - 300 Empire Herder Reyad - 50 5 Herder Light Cavalry - 100 Herder Captain - 40 3 Herders - 45 2 Hunters - 80 4 Graku - 60 Engineer Beru - 30 Commander Brenar - 100 2 Militia Commanders - 200 4 Militia Captains - 200 30 Militia - 300 - 1,205 Misc Empire Belan - 30 Laden Belan - 30 Trader - 10 Fubarnii Mounted Trader - 10 3 Baruk - 30 3 Laden Enuk - 30 3 Enuk - 30 2 Youngsters - 20 Fubarnii Mason - 10 Fubarnii Artist - 10 Noble - 10 Pree pree - 10 - 230 Total - 2,405 points, not including any extra purchases. I'll need to acquire 30 more points of Delgon this month to reach the required 300 points, but that's fairly doable. Thus far, this is what I've managed - 1) 3 Grishak Kopa, 2 Dhogu Captains, 2 Dhogu Trappers and the last 4 Skerrat. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Newkopa.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/newdhogu1.jpg) 2) Pree pree. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Preepree1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Preepree2.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Preepree3.jpg) Also I've managed these new guys - they've been done for a few days, but I had to first get more matt varnish spray to fix the snow, and then had to wait for a sunny enough day to avoid fogging. 3) 2 Dhogu spears and 2 Dhogu bows. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/yetmoredhogu.jpg) Quite pleased with the pose on this one - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/bestpose1.jpg)(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/bestpose2.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 150 points. Dhogu - 230 points. Empire - 10 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 10, 2012, 06:34:34 pm Finished these off today, a Dhogu Soothsayer (will count as a Captan for now) and 2 more Dhogu Spears, another 70 points.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/soothsayergroup.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/soothsayer1-1.jpg)(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/soothsayer2-1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/soothsayertop.jpg) In fluff terms, the Soothsayer is the 'engineer' of the Dhogu. Usually more manipulative and a lot more scheming, these individuals are wholly embraced by the Dhogu. Though their nature occasionally makes them clash with others of the clan, the Dhogu see it as a reasonable trade off to have a Dhogu of such insight amidst them. I've got Commander Brenar, 4 Kosok and 3 Slingers also in the queue currently, so with luck in a few days those'll be done too. Running total: Devanu - 150 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 10 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 13, 2012, 09:12:07 pm Managed to get these done, albeit not all that colourful, 3 Slingers of Clan Orelan for 45 points.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/slingers1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/slingers2.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 150 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 55 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 14, 2012, 05:50:03 pm Commander Brenar is now also finished, a nice hefty 100 points.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Brenar1.jpg)(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Brenar2.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 150 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 155 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on May 14, 2012, 10:24:13 pm Nice touch with the blue on the plume!
I really like what you've done with him :) Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Ben Brownlie on May 15, 2012, 10:14:18 am Nice figs Gecki :D
Nice touch with the blue on the plume! If you mean the pree pree, that's the colour of the skin on mine Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 16, 2012, 01:40:06 pm Cheers, I figured blue would stand out from the mass of red armour. It was tempting to make his armour white, but the hassle....
Finished up these 4 Kosok, for another 100 points. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Kosok1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Kosoktop.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 250 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 155 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: TuffSkull on May 16, 2012, 01:52:38 pm the impressive turn around and good quality continue - most impressive. Almost keeping up with you this week, although alas not with twilight :( Soon my challenge shall start!
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Lost Egg on May 16, 2012, 05:16:52 pm Nice job Geck. I'm sure you deserve a break...even if only for us mere-mortals to try and catch up ;)
HN Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Megatron0 on May 16, 2012, 06:13:45 pm I too recommend a break! You're making the rest of us look bad :P
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 19, 2012, 02:57:45 pm I'm sure you'll all post 2 or 3 completed 300 point forces in the last few days on this month guys. ;)
Finished these a couple of days ago, 50 points for the Delgon - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/newdelgon.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 250 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 155 points. Delgon - 50 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on May 29, 2012, 05:00:22 pm Are you slacking off towards the end of the month? ;)
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 29, 2012, 06:00:30 pm Well I did say I'd be taking it easy. Mounted herder captain, 3 mounted herders and a slinger captain almost finished, 2 Kosok about to be painted and Malog's slowly coming along. With luck I'll get Malog done in time, but it'll be close...
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 31, 2012, 12:58:11 am Here we go, a Herder reyad, 3 Mounted Herders and a Herder Captain.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/empireupdate.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 250 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 305 points - Month 1 complete. Delgon - 50 points. Just 2 Kosok and Malog to finish today - Malog's huge. 80mm base and it looks like the feet may overlap on to the outer curve. I'm still not sure how to do the 'toes', but aside from those and the shoulder pads he's pretty much done. So close... Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on May 31, 2012, 08:55:05 pm 2 Kosok are done, for 50 points.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Kosoktale.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 305 points - Month 1 complete. Delgon - 50 points. Just 1 model to go for this month, nearly there! Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on May 31, 2012, 09:43:31 pm I retract my comment on you slacking off ;)
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 01, 2012, 12:18:00 am Here we go, final model!
Malog, at 250 points - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Malogfin1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Malogfin2.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Malogfin3.jpg) Running total: Devanu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 305 points - Month 1 complete. Delgon - 300 points - Month 1 complete. All 4 complete! Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Lost Egg on June 01, 2012, 06:20:43 am Nice job sir. So are you planning on tackling all the Delgon Enarii?
HN Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 01, 2012, 08:13:17 pm Absolutely no idea. The old Twilight site seems to be down, and aside from the Enarii who joined the ferals I'm not really aware of any other personalities. I certainly wouldn't mind though.
So, group shots and pledge update! Delgon Malog - 250 3 KalGarkii - 30 KalDerak - 20 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Delgonmonth1.jpg) Devanu 6 Kosok - 150 3 Grishak Kopa - 150 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Devanumonth1.jpg) Empire Herder Reyad - 50 3 Herder Light Cavalry - 60 Herder Captain - 40 3 Herders - 45 Commander Brenar - 100 Pree pree - 10 - 305 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Empiremonth1.jpg) Dhogu Dhogu Soothsayer - 40 4 Dhogu Spears - 60 2 Dhogu Bows - 30 4 Skerrat - 30 2 Trappers - 60 2 Dhogu Captain - 80 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Dhogumonth1.jpg) -------------------------------------------- Which leaves (anything in green is what I plan to paint/finish for month 2) - Dhogu 2 Yirnak Captain - 200 1 Dhogu Captain - 40 4 Dhogu Bows - 60 Yirnak Rider - 40 6 Dhogu Spears - 90 2 Skerrat - 15 - 445 300 Delgon Hmm... Devanu Devanu Kopa - 175 Devanu Sempa - 125 Jenta Hunter - 50 Jenta Spear - 50 2 Kosok - 50 2 Grishak - 50 - 500 300 Empire 2 Herder Light Cavalry - 40 2 Hunters - 80 4 Graku - 60 Engineer Beru - 30 Belan - 30 Laden Belan - 30 Trader - 10 Fubarnii Mounted Trader - 10 3 Baruk - 30 3 Laden Enuk - 30 3 Enuk - 30 2 Youngsters - 20 Fubarnii Mason - 10 Fubarnii Artist - 10 Noble - 10 2 Militia Commanders - 200 4 Militia Captains - 200 30 Militia - 300 - 1,130 430 I'm almost sorted for the next 2 months for Devanu and Dhogu, but the Delgon vex me. I have no real idea what to do for 300 points, let alone 600. I suppose since the Dhogu don't yet have a faction badge and are mercs I could always count the next 2 months of Dhogu as Delgon allies? I'm guessing that would work Mike? Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: guppug on June 02, 2012, 01:33:51 pm 8)
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on June 02, 2012, 04:28:34 pm You can count Dhogu as Delgon, or as 'specials'.
Other adventurous options would be another enarii character, or scratch building some belderak wagons... I am loving all the group shots! Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 08, 2012, 12:54:59 am Managed 130 points for the Empire - mounted Trader, 3 laden Enuk, a Hunter and pair of Graku, a laden Baruk and a Mason.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/empireupdatenew.jpg) Running total: Empire - 130 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 14, 2012, 01:59:45 am 270 points for the Dhogu complete - 2 mounted Captains, a Captain and 2 bows.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Dhogumonth2.jpg) Running total: Empire - 130 points. Dhogu - 270 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on June 14, 2012, 10:46:14 am Your paint jobs on the dhogu do make me proud of the sculpts :)
Thanks for sharing! Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 16, 2012, 05:24:48 am Easiest faction this month by far - Devanu Kopa and Sempa, 300 points.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/devanumonth2.jpg) Running total: Empire - 130 points. Dhogu - 270 points. Devanu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on June 16, 2012, 09:23:20 am There I was expecting 6 Jenta ;)
You are definitely on track this month! The orelan parts should be ready in a few weeks ready for next month... Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 18, 2012, 12:46:04 am The weather was good enough to affix snow, so the last 2 Dhogu were finished.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/moredhogu.jpg) Running total: Empire - 130 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Devanu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. I'll probably do some more work on the Empire next, before blitzing the Delgon in the next week or so to break it up a bit. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 29, 2012, 08:30:34 pm Oho, another update close to the wire for this month! Mainly as I only just got round to buying batteries for the camera, but still...
For the Empire, we have 2 Graku, 2 mounted Herders, Engineer Beru and a Belan for 130 points. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Empiremonth2sofar.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/belan1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/belan2.jpg) For Delgon, 3 Belderak (mortar-deraks) for 300 points. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Belderak1.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Belderak3.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Belderak2.jpg) Running total: Empire - 260 points. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Devanu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Delgon - 300 points - Month 2 complete. The Hunter is also nearly done and will be posted tomorrow along with group shots. I haven't managed as much Empire as I wanted to get done this month, with 11 models missed out, but at least I'll hit the required points. Next month I'm likely to paint something like 1,000 points of Empire in addition to everything else, so it'll be a busy month! Thankfully, I have most of July off work, so I'll have time in abundance. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on June 30, 2012, 08:49:49 am Thankfully, I have most of July off work, so I'll have time in abundance. And there I was about to say something nice about all the painting! All I've gig to look forward to in July is 2 weeks of jury duty...(lovely pjs by the way - good work with the custom belderaks!) Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on June 30, 2012, 06:28:01 pm The Empire Hunter, for the last 40 points -
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/hunter2.jpg) Running total: Empire - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Dhogu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Devanu - 300 points - Month 2 complete. Delgon - 300 points - Month 2 complete. All 4 complete! So, more group shots and pledge updates! Delgon 3 Belderak - 300 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Belderak1.jpg) Cumulative shot of months 1 and 2 (with added Yirnak for the Belderak) - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/delgontotal2.jpg) Devanu Devanu Kopa - 175 Devanu Sempa - 125 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/devanumonth2.jpg) Cumulative shot of months 1 and 2 - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/devanutotal2.jpg) Empire Engineer Beru - 30 Belan - 30 2 Herder Light Cavalry - 40 3 Laden Enuk - 30 Laden Baruk - 15 2 Hunters - 80 4 Graku - 60 (Missed 2 from the shots, whoops) Mason - 10 Mounted Trader - 10 - 305 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/empiremonth2fin.jpg) Cumulative shot of months 1 and 2 - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/empiretotal2.jpg) Dhogu 2 Mounted Dhogu Captains - 200 4 Dhogu Bows - 60 1 Dhogu Captain - 40 - 300 (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Dhogumonth2fin.jpg) Cumulative shot of months 1 and 2 - (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/dhogutotal2.jpg) -------------------------------------------- This means I have left - Dhogu Yirnak Rider - 40 6 Dhogu Spears - 90 2 Skerrat - 15 - 145 Delgon Hmm... Devanu Jenta Hunter - 50 Jenta Spear - 50 2 Kosok - 50 2 Grishak - 50 Grishak Kopa - 50 - 250 Empire Laden Belan - 30 Trader - 10 2 Baruk - 20 3 Enuk - 30 2 Youngsters - 20 Fubarnii Artist - 10 Noble - 10 2 Militia Commanders - 200 4 Militia Captains - 200 30 Militia - 300 - 830 Plenty of Empire to do and I'll also, like Mike, be doing a 'counts-as' Danomar using a Grakukan rider, plus several more Grakukan as 'counts-as' Knights of Relan. As such, probably over 1,000 points of Empire next month. To round off the Devanu I'll likely make a cd terrain piece for a clutch, several egg branches amidst the shelter of some rocks. The Delgon will most likely involve some 'soldiers' (crew for the Belderak) as well as that fourth Belderak I put together for the tutorial plus a few bits and pieces. The Dhogu will be needing an order, which may just be an Enarii... Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: serin on July 01, 2012, 07:35:29 am Well, I'm flabbergasted (if that's how you spell it)!
Incredible painting and construction. Your Delgon force will be virtually unstoppable - world domination on the way! :o Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on July 16, 2012, 02:48:31 pm Managed to finish up 2 Skerrat for the Dhogu, and a unit of Dhogu (5 spears and a Captain) for the Delgon so far. I figured to help differentiate between the differing Dhogu units, the ones allied with the Delgon share the same colours.
(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/newskerratsmon3.jpg) (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/Geckilian/Delgonmonth3wip.jpg) Running total: Dhogu - 15 points. Delgon - 115 points. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Geckilian on July 31, 2012, 11:07:43 pm Right, an update before midnight to show they're all done on time!
Painted another unit of Dhogu mercs and a Belderak for the Delgon. Also an Empire Commander and 4 Captains, Grishak Kopa and a pair of Grishak plus 3 various Devanu Jenta. The Dhogu got a Yirnak rider and a Dhogu-aligned Enarii.

Dhogu - 305 points - Month 1 complete. Empire - 305 points - Month 1 complete. Delgon - 330 points - Month 1 complete. Overall group shots for all 3 months combined will go up tomorrow. Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: guppug on July 31, 2012, 11:12:27 pm Great work well done ;D
Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Lost Egg on August 01, 2012, 06:56:41 am Another huge wave of minis. Liking the Enarii.
HN Title: Re: Geckilian's Anyaral Tale. Post by: Carcharoth on August 01, 2012, 07:43:43 am Another impressive set of forces! I need to sort that AiA dhogu sig icon.
Good job with the Dhogu enarii. I was thinking of something along similar lines and might have to flesh out some history at some point... |
