I've blundered my way into starting another project. This is more of a Tale of x Gamers type affair, in so much that I'm going to try and build the army in monthly stages - for the least amount of money possible.

This is what the army currently stands like at Month 1, it's what I've managed to scavenge together from the Mantic Kickstarters I've backed. So my total spend is currently: £0. A good start.

The current army list:

1 Overmaster on Greater Abyssal
10 Abyssal Berserkers
5 Gargoyles
20 Immortal Guard x 2 (currently invisible)
6 Lesser Obsidian Golems (also invisible)

Abyssal Dwarf Overmaster and Golems

Sometimes you get an idea in your head that just won't go away. I had the idea for an Abyssal Dwarf army that's similar in theme to the terracotta army.

But (mostly due to a lack of a Model Air Terracotta paint) I instead went for more of a clay/marble look (with a whole bunch of weathering powder to make it look ancient). The red skin is mostly so it would stand out, and would make the models more otherworldly than regular dwarfs/abyssal dwarfs.

Overall I'm happy with the models, and they took almost no time at all to paint (most of the time was drying). Whilst I've got too many armies on the go at the moment, these guys might make an appearance again in the future.
