Onyx Contact Force Reinforcements: Umbra Legate and Umbra Samaritan

Hey all,

get ready for the arrival of the reinforcements for the Combined Army: The Umbra! One of the most dangerous, murderous races in the entire universal warriorhood. Mysterious martial artists from an unidentified planet, the Umbra have been the scourge of the cosmos for ages. Subjugated, dominated or seduced by the EI, they have become its field assistants, a conduit through which the Evolved Intelligence makes its wishes known. They serve as the EI’s heralds, enforcers, mediators, lieutenants, judges, executioners and right-hand men. Brought forth by the darkness, these cruel entities hold a fearsome power that the EI harnesses to inflict the worst punishments and lead mass destruction operations as their wrath seethes unmeasurably.



Regarding the painting scheme, I tried to fit the Umbra to the rest of my Infinity Combined Army forces but still stand out with a unique color conception. Therefore I went for a lot of reds which harmonize well with the army color scheme of greens and black. Also, I really like the Umbra studio paintjob by Angel Giradez, as the pale skin perfectly fit the vampiric abilities of the Umbra. So I did the same.














“Pray. Pray hard. Pray that your god will help you. If you don’t have a god, make one up now. No one else is coming to save you, now that the Umbra are on their way. And they’ve already chosen you as their prey, so they’re coming at you with everything they’ve got. You have no way to stop what’s going to happen.”

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove – A Growing Force The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove are marching to war! Recently, I completed three towering tree spirits —a Treeman Ancient, an ordinary Treeman, and the Spirit of Durthu —bringing my army close to completion. This army has deep roots, dating back to the Old Days of Warhammer , when it was primarily made up of Wood Elves . (Check out my [2014 blog post] for the original army!) Over the years, I have expanded and refined the Cherry Blossom Grove, adding numerous new miniatures while staying true to its original theme. And the journey is far from over! In the coming months and years, I plan to continue expanding the Cherry Blossom Grove , with some exciting additions on the horizon. Alarielle, the Everqueen , will take her rightful place at the heart of the force, and more Kurnoth Hunters will reinforce the ranks. I’m also considering a Living City detachment from the Cities of Sigmar Battletome , blending Sylvane...

My Top 10 of the most epic dragon tabletop miniature models!

The Ultimate Top 10 Fantasy Dragon Miniatures for Wargamers and Collectors If you're a fantasy wargamer or miniature enthusiast, chances are you love dragons. These massive, powerful creatures have fascinated me ever since I first delved into fantasy lore and started playing tabletop wargames like Warhammer. Dragons have always been at the pinnacle of epic miniatures, symbolizing power and majesty on the battlefield. However, with so many dragon models available from various manufacturers—and some going out of production—it can be tough to keep track of the best sculpts. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of painting two stunning dragon miniatures: a Forest Dragon by Forgeworld in 2014 and a Zombie Dragon by Games Workshop. As I continue my journey into painting and collecting these mythical beasts, I compiled a list of the top 10 fantasy dragon miniatures that I find truly breathtaking. Before diving into the list, it’s essential to note the distinction between dragons and wyv...
