The Amfast Campaign is a joint effort with my boyfriend,
whom I'm still introducing to miniature wargaming. We'll play it to keep our
spirits up while sequestered due to the ongoing pandemic. Amfast is a small
city in ruins, and we'll be liberating it from Chaos scum; it's a totally basic
setup, just something to do together. We'll make battle reports for each game
and keep you all posted on our progress.
As for our choice of rules, we'll give the new Planet 28 system
a try. I backed Nic's Kickstarter for the zine. It won't reach me anytime soon
because of the current situation, but the rulebook was recently released for
free in PDF form: LINK.
Since #28magchallenge is going on at the moment, this was a
good excuse to come up with a custom lesser chaos god. We created Uras, the god
of Pride. We'll talk more about him in future updates.
Army of Soraan the Vainglorious, Champion of Uras
Servants of the Ruinous Powers occupying Amfast. I made the
minis last week, quickly knocked them together from various plastic historicals
and speed painted them. The aesthetic is a bit different from what I'm doing in
Sunhold. This is a nice break and opportunity to do some things that would not
fit there. Since Planet 28 is meant as a futuristic system I put some rifles in
there, and picked ranged Stormcast for our PCs. We'll see how it plays soon. More
enemies will be coming as the campaign progresses, including the big baddie
Soraan himself (my entry for the 28mag challenge).

Chaos Infantrymen and Chaos Infantryman Sargeant

| Chaos Pikemen |

| Chaos Knight |
Stormcast Castigators
I created these two as player characters for us. In life, they were heroes from opposing armies, who happened
to kill each other in battle. Now they have been reforged and serve Sigmar
together as Stormcast Eternals.

I hope you are all safe and doing OK in these interesting
times.
These are sublime!
ReplyDeleteThanks JC!
DeleteYes, stonkingly brilliant. I looked at the first picture and thought that's great and they just got better and better as I scrolled down. Think I like the knight and the pikemen best, but they are all cool. Well done, and stay well.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank you!
DeleteGreat miniatures and a fascinating idea about the Stormcast killing each other in their previous lives.
ReplyDeleteCheers! It was bf's idea. :)
DeleteGreat concept and cool minis !
ReplyDeleteI like your two stormcast.
I like when peoples makes avatar of themself. :)
:)
DeleteVery atmospheric models there. I particularly like the chaos infantrymen, who have a very Ian Miller feel.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The whole chaos faction here has a bit of a Miller flavour.
DeleteChaos pikemen! Instantly evocative. I love that knight and can't believe you threw together a conversion that I would have agonised over.
ReplyDeleteI'm also really keen on the Uras's symbology.
Thank you! :)
DeleteDamn, I get a Heavy Metal magazine feel from these guys.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteBeautiful, Ana. great work.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's simply incredible how you manage to get all of them so personal, so cohesive, given the variety of sources. Fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! A lot of that effect is in the cohesive paintjob and basing, I would say.
DeleteAs always, beautiful painting and intriguing backstory! Looking forward to the adventure you guys will roll out!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHats off to you for finding the time to work on another campaign, alongside of Sunhold, even if the Pandemic has brought a lot of people more free time. I very much like how you have injected a little bit of futurism to the AoS aesthetic, while keeping it in the realm of fantasy. For whatever reason, I am reminded of the animated film Wizards. It was kind of a post-apocalyptic fantasy, but the robot Necron 99 still had his laser gun.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, Wizards is a fascinating film. :)
