Not going to lie, I appreciate your appreciation, gentlemen.

Hot on the heels of the last update (by my standards only), here we go again. This is a bit of a catch up of things I painted but hadn’t photographed yet.
I did paint up some more Nuln troops. A small unit of handgunners and a trusty old Engineer. Nothing to special. Will they feature at Volganof? Who knows, they might, depending on how I want to man those walls.
I quite like the Engineer model. He looks so academic from the front but is actually carrying a big bad gun on his back. Tried to make the barrels have a blueish tint, which sort of worked, but didn’t photograph too well.
On the chaos side, Mortkin continues to hesitatingly muster forces. I keep trying to slip guys in but, he is rather picky. Turned down Mister ThreePotatoeHeads.
AND this friendly Herald of Tzeentch.
At this rate, it is anybody’s guess when the Chaos side is ready for the assault. But, they will come. I just know it.
A while back I finished the last major building for Volganof (as long as one counts the walls and fortifications on a separate tab). A bit of a beast as the print didn't come off the machine cleanly. I dremel-ed around to make the stonework passable. For the second floor windows I glued in a simple mesh, not sure where that is from but I think it looks alright for 'fantasy medieval'. The overall design is a bit odd. What kind of old-growth trees did they have to chop down for those timbers? Better not tell the Wood Elves!
Anyway, it's massive, it'll look good in the back row of houses at the table's edge. D'Waldo, the master architect of Volganof, approved of the dimensions. Stairs and railings are to code.
I did mess around with camera settings in natural light. Photography is still hit-and-miss for me. mostly miss.
So, now there is only walls and gates and gallows and woods and hills to do. Table is practically done… oh, and I need to to the rest of the cobblestones for the city part of the board. About half way through that process. A bit tedious.
Noticed I am going on seven years with this project log but it should not take another seven to see the Volganof part through. Upward and onward!
