Thanks wyomingfox! Yeah I have like 3-4 different swamp grasses or swamp flowers to add to them. I’m not doing that until a mini is totally finished though - all of these guys are only painted to base tabletop, they all need more detail work before I’m 100% done with them.

The step after this is a real doozie - I have 23 miniatures to paint to get from 1250 pts to 1750… but then that also takes me to 2000 with the same minis just on different configurations so
Anyhow, the proper unit shot of the Praetors, sorry for missing them earlier!

And on the table!
Round 3 was a 1250 battle against Slaves to Darkness (so much chaos...). I won this one 25-15, as the Knight Judicator just threw out so many wounds. My Chosen-hunter! Otherwise I was just able to play the objectives and retreat where I was overwhelmed to avoid losing models that didn't need to be lost.
After round 3, I was 7/24.
Round 4 was a 1250 battle against Maggotkin. Those guys are so tough and those mortal wounds from disease really hurt! We tied 17-17, tied again on grand strategy (he made the mistake of fighting in the big fight in his last turn before fighting my Gryphhounds, so my Gryphhounds were able to retreat and make sure they ended the game without disease points), but he got 1 more battle tactic than me so he won on the second tie-breaker.
Time to add more to the army!

I think only the Ogroids were Tzeentch, most of that army was Nurgle or Khorne iirc.

Thanks Olthannon! We got it printed and painted up special for this league.
Time to start building up to 1750k. First, a Knight-Relictor! This time with a fancy base!

And a quick 1500 pt game trying out a combo against Slaves to Darkness. Lost, - the mission denied me my subfaction ability - but close still, and the combo was cool!

Thanks Not Online! No, it's from a GW set of scenic bases.
One archer-hero with a massive bow isn't enough, especially cuz he only hits on 3+. So clearly he needs some archer friends who also coincidentally give him +1 to hit!

Thanks all! That deals with light infantry and heavy infantry, so now I just need something for monsters!
Ooooh, I know...
I did this entire model in approximately 2.5 hours from a zenithal prime.
Also, I actually took the glowing eyes to the full extent here - the others I only have put down the blue glow and not the white at the heart of the eyes that will really complete the glow. Eventually they'll all look like this!

Thanks everyone!
Sooooo... I painted up another 10 Vindictors. Buuuuuut I then immediately got them all mixed in with the first 10 in a game and I have no idea which are which anymore.
So.
Army shot?
This is just over 2000 pts of Stormcast, and both my 1750 and 2000 pt lists in the escalation league are made out of these models. The only Stormcast I have left not here are 2 dragon boys, and a unit of Vanquishers, but I have some other plans for those Vanquishers...

I love such army shots. i know that feeling, of intermingling. If it is any consolation, they look all awesome.
I had to learn the hard way, that unit markings are a necessity

Thanks all!
I took some breaks while painting all of the above to build a couple Space Marine characters... who immediately got screwed by 10th edition lol.
Before 10th was announced, I decided I would build a Terminator Captain for use as a Death Company Captain. Well, not only is that not a thing anymore, but with the new-scaled Terminators I'm gonna have to take him apart, cut him up, and rebuild him!
Bursting through a wall into battle!
Wielding a dangerous chain-glaive (no idea what that is in-game now... guess I can more or less run it as whatever I want?)
I originally had another piece of the wall attached to his shield something like this, which made it clear that he was smashing through the wall, but it fell off and there's no point fixing it until I fix the Terminator's scale.
Tune in soon for the second character I built, in which I correctly predicted some aspects of 10th, but... not others...
