Strom Coldsteel Armor

Really starting to get back to work on my armor set. So far I decided to start with the layers underneath.

Doing a brown skirt under a black robe will give me some interesting contrast and I can adjust the length. Since the goal is basically warrior mage - Mister Strom Coldsteel, we definitely need a red cape.

The original and oldest artwork simply had a few armor elements added.

Which I should be able to do with the shoulder armor and harness I have now. Although, I would need to do robe to fit over the top. Maybe something like a tabard.

But the new miniature - converted from a Reaper Alchemist model, has a couple of different elements.

I found this really cool gorget online - which I would prefer to make. I have a friend doing some amazing work with leather. So getting Jameson to help me would let me capture that style of armor. I really like offsetting the black robe with this brown leather in this gorget.

This witchhunter costume looks just about perfect.

I could add in a banded chest piece or since I am making it, just continue my layers down in the front. So it is all rivetted together. Making a belt like this and lots of pouches and accessories should go pretty quick.

Since I decided to go with the wide sleeves on the robe, I definitely want to make some gauntlets. I can bunch up my sleeves so they are tight and tuck them under a two part system of bracers and gauntlets like these.

The main idea with the top layer of armor is to cover the harness that holds my shoulder armor, but also looks cool. I suppose if I am really going to build my own gorget I should probably add some some straps on top. I can relegate the armor I have already built into a cyberpunk costume - I have an awesome sleeveless trenchcoat already to do a more futuristic version. And I could go full on metal armor with -

I am not really sure. I am definitely having fun thinking of ways to put this stuff together.

Most of my shopping and exploring around so far has been on - Link

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll.

Grumlock & Gazbag

Madcap Mushrooms When a Night Goblin Shaman attempts to cast a spell he can eat a Madcap Mushroom. If he does so roll a dice; on a 2 or more add 2 to the casting roll. On a 1 the mushroom was bad and he can do nothing else until your next hero phase as he starts hallucinating. Magic A Night Goblin Shaman is a wizard. He can attempt to cast one spell in each of your own hero phases, and attempt to unbind one spell in ea

The Trade Road

Three days out of the town of Mort, we'd reach the Drachenfell forest. The caravan had at least seven days left to Brandon's Ferry. We traveled slowly. Our group was over twenty men strong, five wagons each with one or two drovers, nine soldiers including us, a priest, and a blackcloak. She seemed to view our scouts as prey, but she was young and more used to having a group of templars to back her up. The morning calm of the fourth day was shattered by the caravan master Argasto. He was shouting about a thief and interrogating the guards on duty the night before. One of the muleskinners, an aging and grizzled veteran named Keller, had vanished in the night. Taking his loyal mastiff with him and padding out of the camp. My skill as a tracker was not challenged by finding his trail. He probably had a six hour lead, but our investigation turned up that he was an ex-bandit, he'd ran with a pretty rough crowd after the war. More importantly, he'd on
