Got my grubby hands on these hard to find and oop beauties. Can't wait to get some work on them. I think they are big enough to use as Kharybdis and regular dreadclaws and in anycase rare enough that they could easily count as either. Can't wait to get them painted up and use them in games...now to figure out how to mount them to a flying base...and come up with some dreadclaw strategies. If there are any suggestions for either I'm all ears!

Now those, are gorgeous, kind of makes me want to turn renegade

Thanks war kitten, yeah they are my new pride and joy.
Here's another shot but gear down and a close up of the iris hatches. Got them all under coated now but there's not much else to see for now. Need to find time to paint them!

Aloha Dakka! Been a while! I'm firing up the old WIP plog again and would love to hear any and all C&C as always! Without further blathering here is the newest project I'm working on, 2k full army of nothing but Assassins. This project has some minor conversions but mostly I was just trying to rebase and repose these awesome classic models. Thanks for looking!
Ladies first






Vindicares






Culexus's





Everasors



This last everasor was shot at night which exagerates the color profile a bit (irl he matches the others) and the last Culexus can be seen in the front row of the first group shot, I forgot to take a pic

Update on the Assassins here. Work progresses. Decided to go with a more uniform look and a skull motif, we all know the Imperium loves it some skulls.









Thanks for looking!

Crazy army concept, and very menacing models, well done !

Thanks KernelTerror! I'm glad you like them! It is a bit of a nutty army concept, I'm looking forward to playing it though!

Group progress shot. Anyone want to guess what army comes next?

Black Legion lol! When the Genestealer cult gets a release I'll definitely get back to that army but with the release of Traitors Hate my blog is going back to its namesake and the Black Legion is back. On the modeling bench now is the Raptor Talon and I'm going to be going full speed ahead on the Dreadclaws, Fist of the Gods, Abbaddon and the Bringers and oh so much more... just as soon as I get these assassins finished up. The madness! THE WARP! It grips my soul!! RRAAAGGGHHH! DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!

This is great news ! For the Legion !

Wow. Check out all the assassins. Great collection and nice work with the posing and basing.

Looking forward to some Black Legion action!

EDC

@kernelTerror: "We are returned! Death to the false Emperor of man!"

@EDC: Thank you! Still going to try to finish them up completely before the Legion takes over but they are getting close, just final details and weathering.

2 more warp talons assembled with some minor kit bashing. I'm having the talons other than the champion wield dual chainblades because, firstly ... it's badass.. but also keeps with the Long War veterans theme, that these guys are as lethal with their blades as others are with claws. I also want to keep them from looking too ornamented or much different from the rest of the old raptor models in the Talon, the jump pack will be only real difference besides weapon load out. Anyways, thanks for looking as always C&C or just chatting is most welcome!

Double chainsword is definitely badass, it's such a shame that the considering how iconic a chainsword is it doesn't have some kind of rules bonus.

Shred would be pretty neat.

EDC

@EDC: Totally agree with you! I guess we should be thankful they have an Ap value now at least lol.

Talon squad finished and a raptor assembled last night. The champion from earlier pics is going to be this Talons Lord, he deserves the promotion ... and the free jump pack. Also got a start on a Claw, not much to see yet but at least I have an idea of what I want to do with them. Also I'd love some help to figure out what color to use for glowing and osl! I'm leaning towards a red-orange for contrast but blue could be good too ... maybe even green? In anycase it would be the osl for the entire army, so I'm agonizing over it a bit lol. I'm thinking red for the fires of hell/the warp but I'm open to all thoughts on this. As always, thanks for looking and especially for commenting!

Update time! Switched gears a little and made a Justarin squad with lightning claws. Turned out to be a little more effort than I originally planned since the Betrayal at Calth arms are missing the internal shoulder pad but the Justarin arms come with them molded. So, after alot of cutting and a whole extra step more than expected I finished assembly on these guys last night. Still... they are somehow too plain. I think spikes and skulls impaled on spikes are in order. Don't you?





I also made some gs molds to make up Black Legion pads for a few more terminators coming up


On the painting side I made some progress on the Lord of my warband. I give you Ayreas! Chosen of Abbaddon and leader of the Black Brethren!



Speaking of Abbaddon, working on him a bit too


I'll get some better shots posted soon. Thanks for looking!

Looking good. Did you decide on a colour for the glowing /osl? I reckon a reddy orange would work well with all the black/gold.

EDC

Thanks EDC! I'm thinking that too.

Quick update on the Dreadclaw. Still lots to do. These suckers are big!


Detail on a wing



And on the modeling side, I whipped a chosen together right quick.



And now I ask you all a very serious question. Do I make the move to 32mm bases for this army? As always, thanks for looking and c&c always appreciated. Aloha!

Yes! Marines look sooo much better on 32mm bases. Just bite the bullet and do it!

Dreadclaw is looking good. I feel bad whinging about the trim on my skull cannon after seeing all the trim on that beast!

EDC

Daymn that dreadclaw is majestic. And good job moving a DV chosen part to a regular chaos marine, that should work nicely !

@EDC: Yeah I think I'm with you.... now to get 120+ 32mm. Maybe I'll just get the new GW bases.
@kernelTerror: Thanks buddy. Yeah I've done alot of mixing DV parts with older parts. I'll be posting shots of the rest of the chosen in the next update.

Still plugging away on the claw.

A little update action for you Dakkite homies.

Ah, that feels better with spikes. Chains next for this guy and the rest of the squad to follow similarly.



Here's the Daemon Prince that rolls with these guys. Coming in for a landing and scaring the hell out of the sarge here lol. Lots of fun on this conversion. Still needs Green stuff in a few spots and a few chains too I think.

On the painting side of things, work progresses on the Dreadclaw.


As always thanks for stopping by and any comments or 40k chat is always appreciated! Aloha!

Excellent ! I must be missing something obvious here, but where is that demon prince from ? That looks like some ancient metal...Clever use of the head as a shoulder plate btw !

@kernelTerror: Thanks brother! The body of the prince is actually a hordes model, everblight warcaster of somekind I got at some point on the cheap and sat broken in the bits box. I count the skull on his shoulder pad is the Skull of Ker'ngar. Having EW and AW on a prince is worth the points. He is a daemon summoner

Got my pride and joy up for the first time in my new apartment for a game and realized all the work I want to do on it. Therefore, I'll be back to work on the table for a bit before moving forward with other hobby projects.











So first up I need to finish painting and weathering the landing pad and the chapel. Then more finishing up weathering here and there and propaganda posters too. More shots in the gallery and more to come. I love looking around from models pov, so fun!

Here's a few more shots from around the table. Made some progress on the pad and chapel too, picks to come. Thanks for stopping by.

The chapel from down the street


Overhead view of the Chapel with the crashed lander

And the crash from the side

Chapel from the front

Chapel from the back

And random shots from models pov



What do you think?

Gorgeous, the rust and weathering are on top !

Thanks KernelTerror! Getting close to finishing it off. I'll post some progress pics of the terrain soon.

But first! Looking back through the blog you can see the origin of this warband of Renegades of Nurgle and their foul masters, Necrosius and his Apostles of Contagion. As I finish these up and finalize this army, I'll take some pictures as I go. First up is the renegade psyker.




Thanks for looking!

Aloha Dakka! Here's some wip shots of the double eagle chapel/crash site. Still got weathering to do on it but it's coming along.
From the front

From the back


AND to continue on with The Apostles of Contagion in no particular order, here is a priest and some renegades.

















C&C is most appreciated as always! Thanks for having a look!

Sweet looking terrain dude. Nice work on the Nurgle-y dudes too, especially the rogue psyker.
