Temple city

Several lizardmen inspired buildings to make a small temple complex set in Lustria

First a big pyramid built up from stacked terraces of polystyrene. The structure was basecoated black and then I drybrushed it with two tones of grey. Some green was added using flock, miniature palm trees and aquarium plants. I carved some glyphs on the staircase using a sharpened pencil, which were then painted using gehenna gold and seraphim sepia wash.

Next came a small temple dedicated to Sotek and painted following the same process

When adding the flock I followed the clefts and separations of the stone blocks, since those would be the best place for moss to grow

A sacrificial altar was also a must, inspired on mayan tzompantlis with plastic gems for the skull glyph's eyes

And last but not least two statues dedicated to Sotek

 

Lustrian trees (and fauna)

 

I've been busy this week painting some jungle secenery and the minitaure of the month as a buildup for a lustrian campaign next month

Marauder heroes

 

A couple of chaos barbarians inspired on Conan amd Red Sonja

Lustrian jungle

 

Made some jungle bases using aquarium plants and a wood board

Lord of Khorne on juggernaut

 

This fierce paladin of the god of war and slaughter will lead the khronate contingnet of my chaos warriors army in an upcoming lustrian campaign. Armed with a sword of power and protected by the gaze of the gods he saves at 2+, 4++ while dishing out 5 S6 attacks at the head of a regiment of chaos knights.

Siege of Helm's Deep

Recently we got a re-relase of the two towers movie and so I decided to replay the iconic final assault in Helm's Deep

The massed ranks of uruks and orcs assault the ramparts with their siege ladders

In the raised causeway the uruks have placed a blasting charge in front of the gate, but it's explosion isn't enough to blow open the doors

Next to it a mix of uruks and orcs attack the postern gate

Fierce fighting in the deeping wall between orcs, uruks and the men of Rohan led by Legolas

While on the Hornburg the second blasting charge has opened the way into the fortress

Gimli and Aragorn hold the attackers coming from the postern while Théoden and Éomer defend the other side

The stubborn dwarf however is the forst of the good heroes to fall

Followed by a Théoden injuried from the first explosion

As we run put of time we look at the objectives and the game ends in a tie with two for each sied!
