Teclis

 

To lead the Caledor army I'm planning on a pair of dragons, but in case that the player wants to go magic heavy I've painted Teclis, who back in 6th edition was the most powerful wizard of the entire game. He also clocks at 630 points for a single infantry model, so great way to bring the army up to 2.000 in no time!

Summersong guard

 

Nestled deep in the volcanic valleys of Caledor, the beautiful city of Summerguard is the current capital of Caledor, it's regiments dress in bold reds and march to battle beneath the banners of the gods, amongst whom Asuryan is most revered as creator god and protector of Ulthuan.

Another spearmen unit from Caledor, this time with a magnificent standard bearer taken from the prince and noble set released back in 8th edition. While maintaining a similar scheme as the previous unit, for the Asuryan theme of this regiment I went with red lining and blue gems to differentiate them a bit.

Tor Sethai militia

With my eye set on a future fantasy campaign next year I've started to paint the high elves of a friend. They will be my dad's army, replacing the skaven that performed so badly in Lustria. The theme will be the mountainous realm of Caledor, with plenty of dragons/dragon princes around, but even such haughty nobles need some peasants to bulk up their ranks in battle, so have here the city militia of Tor Sethai, the most populous city of the kingdom. 

The models were basecoated in white, so I left clothes, spears and shields in that colour  to speed up the painting process 

For the steel I went with something different from that what I usually do, laying up first a basecoat of a dark gunmetal grey and over it a drybrush of a more silvery colour

Both champion and standard bearer were prepainted by the owner

 

The sump docks

After the nerve-wracking spider hunt our gangs return to Sump City, and a battle erupts between the redemptionists and a newcomer guilder team in the docks of the town

Both gangs deploy hugging the cover

The guilders seize the first turn and advance tentatively

A redemptionist deacon takes aim with his machinegun, and it jams at the first shot!

His companion however has better aim, and drops a guilder merc from the gantry

Led by Klovis the sump crusade advances by the left eviscerators at the ready

And soon the first flamer templates start to fall on the miserly foe

Unwilling to get her expensive gown singed, the guilder retreats behind some pipes with two pit fighters

Klovis and his templars close distances and take out the first line of mercenaries

Defeating the foe after a failed rout test
