Grumpy Old Orc

It is all the wife’s fault. She has switched her allegiance to Cities of Sigmar and so dumped the box full of new Stormcast firmly in my lap.  Nobody styling themselves the, “Grumpy Old Orc” could possibly prioritise the completion of a Stormcast Spearhead over that of the Oruks, or even Gloomspite Gitz. Alas, though, cruel fate decreed it so. I must also point out that the Kruleboyz are only a Beastskewer Killbow away from completion. Here it is then, my first Spearhead:

The Vigilant Brotherhood

I decided to step away from our usual Hammers Of Sigmar look and went for the Hallowed Knights as featured in the box artwork.

I hate to have to admit it, but I did enjoy painting this scheme. There was something very satisfying about all those fiddly details. Getting them Battle Ready was a doddle really. An undercoat of Leadbelcher and I was practically there.

I also got to play a game with this Spearhead. At long last of suffering *ridiculous armour saves* and *over powered to hit and wound rolls* it was my turn to dish out the punishment! Never ever, ever have I rolled so many ones and twos. Eventually I managed to kill ten Clanrats and in return the Skaven wiped me out to a man. It is back to the box  for you guys, now where are my Kruleboyz?
