Thanks Iron-Encore. The Muties (spawn) have been base coated, but i think a bit of green stuff is in order for the gaps. I'll post pics in the next update.

I was wondering where you got those skull heads for the cultists. They are really amazing

Sure Nevie, those are the FW enforcers. Pretty expensive if your not a practitioner of the dark art of resin casting. I have seen them on ebay from time to time for cheap, you might get lucky.

Here's the FW link

these are cool too

Banner looks SICK! (in a great way of course!)

Thanks Skalk!

I'll update soon with some progress pics of the Muties when I get a chance, i've gotten some paint down on them. Still need to finish the bases on the Apostles and snap pics up of those too.
I'm not sure what project to pick up after the Apostles, so I thought i'd take suggestions on which one to do next, either of these two. I'll include links to the galleries of these projects so far.

The Tainted: A large Death Guard warband that seems to be heavily associated with Daemon Prince Mamon and his plague host. Lots of Infantry and Heavy Armor. Pretty close to done actually, not alot of pictures in the gallery yet. The army is eseentially Death Guard except they have chaos runes all over their armor. Inquisitorial investigation suggests this is to enhance daemon summoning or warp travel, possibly both. http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-35246-11541_The%20Tainted%20WIP.html


The Blood Pact Death Brigade:An elite group of killers that seems to be operating in support of various CSM warband throughout the Eye of Terror region. An allies-sized contingent, this army can be re-inforced by the sizeable traitor guard armory for escalated engagements.

...is excellent and inspiring. A lot. Wow.

Do more of that.

The tainted it is then! If I fatigue, ill jam the blood pact a bit.

With the release of IA13, i'm full steam ahead on the Renegades and rather than start all over again I decided to dust off the old blog and pick back up where I left off. I'll go through and fix the dead links etc to clean this place up a bit. I've also been working on my own Imperial Industrial Sector from Forgeworld and going for a really weathered city that has been abandoned ... or is it? This is my personal gaming table as well a backdrop for my Chaos armies and while i've gotten a lot done, it is still WIP so any and all C&C is more than welcome. The morning light in these shots is a little weird but I kind of like the effect lol, better pics to come. Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a rooftop firefight scene I staged this morning. The buildings are still waiting on rust powders and finer details which i'm going to get started on today. The boards themselves need another round of clear coat but I want to add some Imperial propaganda posters first. Maybe come back through with a brish and touch any thing I may have missed. I've also got a downed aquila lander and a bunch of craters coming soon, as well as three oop FW turrets i'm looking forward to getting some paint on. I'll put some pictures of that stuff later today. I also want to get some more work on the traitor veterans.

great stuff dude lots of ideas for my armies on parade entry next year thinking of doing nurgle for it

Thanks! You should go for it! Nurgle has always been my favorite.

And what the heck, if they are in the gallery, they might as well be in the plog. Here's a few more pics from elsewhere around the table and a few shots of the most recently rusted building I did today. Still needs a clear-coat and some propaganda posters I think.

I think the lighting in some of these earlier shots is washed out because of the time of day but it has kind of a cool effect, so meh, i'll roll with it. I'll figure out a better time to take pics. In the mean time, here are some before shots of the main administratum building that im going to be rusting next. Happy Halloween!

Stumbled upon this thread a few months ago whilst looking for inspiration for the traitor guard army I'm currently (slowly) building. Your renegades and Nurgle marines are great.

It's great to see the thread back up and running again, and with some truly fantastic looking scenery. If you have time when you do your next piece, I'd love a quick step by step on how you paint those buildings/boards. It'd really help my basing (I like little mini dioramas for my heavy weapons teams) and my super long term board project.

But yeah, great work. Can't wait to see the group shot on that terrain.

Thanks alanmckenzie! I'll post stage by stage pics for you as I work on the skysheild for the plaza and the turrets. I'll try to get some more pics up in a little bit, having a hard time with dakka on my phone.

And here's what I've been working on today

Digging the theme

Thanks FeindusMaximus! Here are a few more shots of the Landing Pad area with the defensive turrets in place. The turrets need the old two hatch portals and since I don't have any way of getting that, i'll need to do a quick green stuff mold for the top of two of them before slapping some paint down. I'll do a tutorial as I paint the skysheild and turrets to illustrate how I do my buildings and streets for alan and anyone else who may be interested.

For most games this entire area will most likely count as ruins with the crashed aquilla lander on top of the landing pad. The lander still needs some dirt and weathering love too.

i'm really unhappy with my phone's camera, but it makes for the fastest updates. Here's some renegades almost finished up, just a few more details to come back and hit.

Just a couple quick overhead shots of the board to give an idea of layout. The landing pad is missing from the plaza in these shots. I'll post updates as I complete the stages of painting. Right now, i'm waiting on green stuff to dry for the turrets.

The GS mold for the turrets finished curing last night, so I figured I'd take some pics this morning. Casting begins for the turret hatches tonight and I might even get to putting some paint down on the landing pad, we'll see what happens after work. As always, thanks for looking!

Thought I'd post a few more shots. More in the gallery. The landing pad and turrets are missing from the plaza (b/c i'm working on them) but the board is getting close. Thanks for looking.

Got a bunch of wip pic's of the Plague Marines and a scene/mini-game I had some fun staging this morning.














FYI, Lord Commissar Sterin actually made it to the bastion on his 2nd turn after overwatching the closest Zombie in the head with the Emperors Benediction, resulting in a failed charge (zombies rolled snakes). For the Emprah!!

Finished casting the hatches on these, pretty happy with the result. I'll get an undercoat on these today. What do you all think?

The turrets and the buildings are looking awesome. Good job!

Thanks Ustrello!

Here is the most recently rusted building along a before shot. Still need to rust the floor and add a few other details. Going to make some 40k scale propaganda posters tonight, I seemed to have lost the first batch I made up.



And the finished building featuring Commissar Sterin.

Those turrets are pretty cool. Love your terrain. Looks like a blast to play on!

Thanks squall18. Yeah it is a blast and with all the possible configurations, every time I set it up it plays a bit different.

Here's a teaser of the Aquila crashed into the Chapel configuration of the plaza.

For the benefit of @alanmckenzie and anyone else who is interested in the process here are the buildings i'm currently working on in today's update.



And a shot of the Hellblades bearing down on a Valkrie. "Bogies! Coming in low! 12 o'clock!"

Count me most definitely among those interested Genom.cor! I love what you're doing with the terrain

Thank for the kind words Phutarf! More to come soon.
