Nice work on the dread. He looks great.

Really liking the clerical looking leader, great use of bits.

Also the wires into the head of the Eldar dude look great.

@EDC Thanks a lot, Praised be Khorne !

These guys looks absolutely great! Will you be getting more?

Thanks Fifty, yeah that is the Idea, an order is on the way with one dude that will probably join them. I also unfortunately just missed an auction for the third guy with that precise bloodletter face, but I'll get him eventually...

And hurray for ten pages, the dark gods will be pleased !

I just lost this auction this evening - you weren't bidding on the same one, were you?

This one is really nice! I really want GW to release like a collectors range that has the old models, in pewter in lead ofc!

@Fifty : I should have been yes ! But I usually wait till the last moment to place an auction, and left the office ridiculously late for a friday night. But I saw that one a couple of times already...He'll come around eventually. And keep a good look on that seller, he has great stuff. Already bought twice from him : the lastest chainsaw arm Warp Messiah and the package I am expecting now...

@LeCacty : It is indeed very pretty, and it has friends too. An Havoc squad of these guys would be wonderful...

Allright, so here is an update for this weelend's work :

The Silent Reap to sin termie received his weapon : a sword and a fist weapon


Replaced the head of the ogryn zombie, greenstuffed the hell out of it


Completely changed my mind on the Asylum knight, went for a more classic setup, but I think it looks far better


And added skulls on magos bugthing. One always needs skull.

Awesome. I really that that Termie. The greenstuffed skull looks very cool.

He does vaguely remind me of a Pokemon though...

EDC

Thanks man, had to hide some awful loyalist icon ^^ !
Well pokemons are probably just painted up Nurglings, so not far ^^ !

Good evening Dakka, no WIP today, but a pretty nice supply drop in the mail !


First are these two; the one on the left will join the Warp Messiahs. Not sure about the one on the left"s allegiance yet, but I think he looks pretty slaaneshy...



And these two guys look brilliant too, to me, they scream Iron Warrior.

But none on these allegiances are definitive yet, what do you guys think ?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Allright, in the mean time did some minor work on two guys, added chains and spikes to the zombie ogryn's weapon, in order to make it look more appropriate


And added a sensor array to Magos bugthin's back, damn this pic is blurry, sorry about that.


So with this I am switching to paint mode, with a pretty creepy looking paint queue,

Good evening Dakka, I Hope you are having a great weekend. I just finished that dude, for the Vivisector cult. And decided to try a new picture layout.

Magos HellWorm, is a sinister member of the Vivisector Cult, also known as the Repurposer. Banned from the Adeptus Mechanicus for heretical perversions and warp tainting of the machine spirit, he fled to the Eye of Terror with a impressive army of corrupted servants. He soon entered the Vivisector Cult and quickly climbed to its highest ranks. The respect he inspires to his brothers is only equaled by the fear his reputation causes among the Cult's members. This fear, as his name of "The Repurposer" is justified by his constant hunger for new test subjects, as he will accept any undisciplined slave or failed apprentice to experiment the worst of the warp on them. Among his research works, one of the most despicable is his attempt to industrialize demonic possession. In a secret laboratory, known as the Screaming Factory, he combines the forces of the warp with demon hosts, protection rituals acquired from the inquisiton at an incredibly high cost and an almost uninterrupted flow of human sacrifices. The ultimate goal of Magos Hellworm's research is unclear, perhaps even to himself, but the side products of the Screaming Factory have already been of great use to the Cult. Among those, specialized servants such as the Hooded Artillery, with their twisted by repeated demon posession have already proven efficient in the Cult's operations.

Some of these models would give children nightmares!

Really macabre. I like it!
If I had one criticism, it would be that the skin is a bit bright. If you want to darken it and add some grime, a layer of agrax would do the trick!

Thanks man, yeah gotta traumatize them early if you hope to raise a half decent berserk !

LeCacty wrote:Really macabre. I like it!

Thanks man ! I absolutely see what you mean. I usually tend to over-shade my models, because evil bastards wear black, but I wanted to try something a little different. Although if you have a close look at his front left leg it was shaded using Agrax, as an experiment. I preferred the 'made of lava' look, so I left it as is (because chaos !). I'll think it over though, he is not varnished...

Speaking of (voluntary) overshading, here comes the Eldar conversion. Once I finish my fourth dreadnought, I am thinking of going into a cultist frenzy and build some squads for my different warbands. I think one of those will be made of corrupted eldars with this paint scheme, grey and orange wires going into their heads.


The Shades are one of the creations of the never ending struggle between the Slaanesh and Tzeentch aspect of the Sacrifice to Sin cult. A demon more closely aligned to Tzeentch once devised a plan to trap an eldar recon team on a derelict ship. Were their seers blinded by the warp forces, or did they consent to sacrificing some of their own in order to avoid a more terrible alternative. Not long after the Eldars boarded the ship, its warp engines activated and made it reappear in low orbit above the Sacrifice to Sin homeworld. As the vessel crashed in the wastelands, all of the Slaanesh half of the chaos warband focused its attention and troops to the capture and corruption of such an appetizing bait, letting their Tzeentchian brothers free to fulfill whatever twisted objectives they had planned. Lost in ever mutating deserts, many eldars were slayed and some took their own lives. But some were destined to an even more horrible fate, as their souls were sucked out of their bodies by greater Keepers of Secrets. Soon afterwards, the shades appeared. Empty shells of the once proud warrior race, they seem to silently wander the wastelands, only filled by their pain and some drug dispensers the demon world playfully attached to them.
The one known as Bladesmith was once one of the officers of the recon team. He has now become a gear in the twisted corruption mechanism of the Sacrifice to Sin, as he gathers the fallen swords of battles that took place centuries ago, to offer them to the Gods in the demon world's sacrificial pits. His gift seems to be his knowledge of where and when the blades will resurface, and of who is destined to hold them. Without a word, he will walk alone for weeks to gather a blade, corrupt it, and rediscover it centuries later after its digestion by the demon world, in order to finally deliver it to the warrior supposed to have it.

Great stuff on Magos Hellworm. The name is brilliant too!

EDC

Thanks EDC, yeah, sounded a bit more dignified than magos Bugthing (Only his friends call him that) !

Lookin good!

Thanks man !

Good evening all, finished painting this old school termie. Did not want to destroy such an old model, so just plainly ignored the Aquila on his chest. The servants of the corpse dude will not like that...

The Khornate warband of the Silent Reap is ruled through a very strict hierarchy, both religiously and politically. According to their code, the sole leaders under Khorne are the two Blood Pontifes, who command the Cardinal colleges, who in turn oversee the Bishops, each responsible for a specific aspect of the warband. Such monstrous and warped creatures as the Pontifes rarely leave the Eye of Terror or even appear to their troops. To maintain a proper control over the warband, they selected blessed warrior with an unshakable faith, their heralds. Herald Tepes used to be an archivist in a loyalist chapter, when he felt the call of the blood god. As psykers offend the blood god, the pontifes offered to release Tepes of his burden and overflowed his link to the warp with a perpetual stream of demonic energy, making him their eyes and ears. Since then, he visits whatever activity of the Silent Reap the Pontifes require information on, and disciplines the warriors who stray from the path of khornate righteousness. One of his most revered deed is the impalement of a disgraced Bishop, a most pious act he performed perfectly and in silence, dealing several fatal blows to his opponent right from his teleportation from orbit.

You are really capturing the old school Realm of Chaos vibe in this blog, which is a massive compliment compared to the spikes and skulls modern chaos that we see.

Awesome old model! Is the skull on his pauldron original?

Thanks man, means a lot ! Massive compliment indeed !

LeCacty wrote:Awesome old model! Is the skull on his pauldron original?

Thanks ! Yeah everything is original apart from the two wires in his back. Added them in order to fill holes in the original model ( at the spots where termies usually have grids).

@LeCacty : Yeah, it does a bit, and thinking of it wires coming out of the back of a terminator armor could be kind of a design flaw... But no worries, that dude does not turn his back to any enemy.

Now the model of the day is another Rogue Trader Era guy, the fourth recruit of the Warp Messiahs !

The Warp Messiahs like to think of themselves as welcome everywhere in the warp, with a duty of sharing honestly the wonders of chaos with anyone. Even though, their friendliness can take the shape of bullets or blades, they are usually deliver it upfront. But in some circumstances, it can occur that they need to eliminate an individual precisely. In these cases, they employ Screamer. During his travels in the warp, he obtained an oddly shaped helmet, that has probably fused with his face centuries ago. While many assassins use stealth and silence to fulfill their mission, Screamer takes the exact opposite approach. His demonic helmet allow him to emit a diabolically modulated sound, covering any other noise, and seemingly coming from any directions at once. As his demonic frequency reflects on his environment, Screamer is also all knowing about his surrounding and foes, and thus able to efficiently pass through the disoriented enemy lines. Sometimes, knowing death is coming will not save you.

The messiahs are really cool, and the fluff you've written is badass. Like chaos jehovas witnesses!

Roughly how large will each warband be?

Thanks man ! Yeah, Chaos Jehovah witnesses does fit them right, had'nt thought of that !

Regarding the size of the warband, it is not decided no, but I want it to be exclusively made of rogue trader eras models, ant not even all of them look the part. I still have at least two more Bloodletterheaded marines to hunt down on ebay, then, we'll see.

Evening Dakka ! Here is a new old sneaky looking renegade, hope you like it !


Zahaarg, also known as the Graceful Master, has been around the Sacrifice to Sin warband for centuries, and has been elevated to much more than a mere mortal for his strength and unshakable faith in the Sacrifice to Sin's twisted religious precepts. When not hunting in the cult's homeland's wastelands, he infiltrates unstable imperial worlds to create cults and and train renegade militia. Behind enemy lines, the Graceful Master is well aware that he is the hunted, and that eventually his lair will be found and invaded by the Imperial forces. Because of this, he usually awaits the servants of the Emperor inside a maze of deadly traps and barricaded underground strongholds. On many occasion, the inquisition eventually crossed sword with him at the most profane place of his lair, a deadly room filled with sharp spikes and walls covered in blades. In such an unforgiving arena, Zahaarg was always able to slay an impressive amount of attackers by himself, before disappearing for decades and restarting on another world.

Howdy fellas, tonight's model is not Oldhammer, nor converted, but damn, I really like these DV chosen.


All three I painted so far...

Looking good! Makes me want to go out and buy those DV Chosen myself

How do you do the small scripture on his shoulder pad though? It looks really neat

Thanks man, you definitely should, so much cool stuff to do with them.

Regarding the scriptures, no special trick, just a matter of finding the right thinning for the paint and to carefully shape the point of the brush. Also, having curse words in store in case of messing up is a must ^^.
