Back near the end of September, I showed off my alternate color scheme for Bradigus Thorle the Runecarver. It received such an overwhelming positive response that I couldn’t just stop with one model. Instead, I was going to need to paint an entire army!
I had a few options to choose from with Bradigus. I could go outside the theme force for a wider selection of troops such as Tharn Bloodtrackers and Megalith. The theme force, however, would allow me the use of three units of Shifting Stones. So, I came up with two lists I could paint relatively quickly and still get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of playing.
The two lists I came up with:
| Non-Theme | Theme: Wold War – Tier 4 |
|---|---|
| Bradigus Thorle the Runecarver +6 | Bradigus Thorle the Runecarver +6 |
| Megalith-11 | Wold Guardian -9 |
| Woldwatcher-5 | Woldwarden -9 |
| Woldwatcher-5 | Woldwarden -9 |
| Woldwatcher-5 | Woldwatcher-5 |
| Woldwatcher-5 | Woldwatcher-5 |
| Woldwatcher-5 | Woldwatcher-5 |
| Blackclad Wayfarer-2 | Woldwatcher-5 |
| Shifting Stones -2 | Woldwatcher-0 (theme force benefit) |
| Shifting Stones -2 | Shifting Stones -2 |
| Tharn Bloodtrackers -8 | Shifting Stones -2 |
| Nuala the Huntress -2 | Shifting Stones -2 |
| Sentry Stone & Mannikins -3 |
Although I really liked the list with Tharn Bloodtrackers and Megalith, I really wanted to play with a third set of Shifting Stones. I also knew that I wanted to paint the theme force; my goal for this list would be to play it at WARMACHINE Weekend!
When I sat down to paint this army, WARMACHINE Weekend was already only a few weeks away and plenty of other models filled my paint desk—I really needed to get cranking. And although I rushed through a bit of the detail work, I was very satisfied with the final result.
Be sure to check back later to see what I’m working on next—that paint desk of mine is always crowded!
