And done:


Next project:
20 Seekers of Slaanesh + 3 Command

Still busy assembling the Seekers, big job doing 23 mounts and 23 riders.. and, ye Slaanesh, all the pinning!

Finished the command, 10 grunts assembled and awaiting gap filling, 10 more still to assemble:

Mostly done now:


Just need to greenstuff a lot of gaps now on the 20 grunts.

Also received another project in the mail:


Another Baneblade variant for my Sister army.

Working on the command trio:

Had less time to paint lately, but this weekend I have plenty!
Finished most of the first 5 + 3 command:


Next 5 ready to go:


I start with dark purple on the backs, then wash it with more purple and then lightly drybrush pink and white over it, to create a mottled effect.

And with skintone applied (Vallejo):


When they dry I'll wash it with Seraphim Sepia, it gives a good contrast with the brighter/pinker skin of the Daemonettes themselves.

Wash and light purple for the edges later:

Not much updates, been busy with work and finishing the Seekers. Currently working on the last 5, still have to base all of them after.

A doubles tournament this weekend, but maybe I'll get some painting done on Sunday.

My brother and I splurged on the Forgeworld Open Day in Amsterdam and each bought one of the new full resin Knights, so after I finish the Seekers and the last Chariot I'll start on that.

Now thats old school.

Finished the Seekers, now just need to base them. Will post a picture once I'm done (probably this weekend).

Next on the list:
1 loose Daemonette (my old old old model squad had only 19 grunts, finally was able to get a single model from Ebay cheaply)
1 Slaanesh Chariot (composed entirely of parts almost older than my brother).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Nearly done with the basing:

Lots of pinning later:


Have to fill 2 large holes in the Chariot's interior where (I presume) the original riders would plug in. Also a ton of gaps to fill.

Been slacking on the hobbying and therefore P&M section so this probably comes a little late but my word that brass scorpion is just gorgeous!

Your daemons are flying along too compared to mine, everyone has a habit of making me feel slow it seems.

Thanks, I've since painted some thinned down shiny varnish onto the armour plates, because with matt varnish all over it looked a bit dull.

I'm slowly approaching the last of my daemons.

After the chariot I have left:
* 9 Fiends of Slaanesh
* 1 Lord of Change
* 1 Keeper of Secrets
* 1 Epidemius to be turned into a generic herald on palanquin

I'm looking forward to posting a pic of the entire army (now likely to be more than 10,000 points). Not bad for 1 1/2 years of work.

Some progress on the chariot:


Taking pictures in the evening with crappy light, sorry!

Finished it, comparison shot with the other chariot:


Now busy painting 3 assassins (Eversor, Callidus, Culexus) that I have had sitting in my box stripped for ages now.

After that, it's time for a Castigator Knight.

Busy with the Knight Castigator:

Getting there:


Need to do the head, arms, weapons and detailing.

Wow those thing's are big, with lots of big flat surfaces to paint as well, but it looks like you of to a great start.
Are you planning on adding any kind weathering or battle damage effects to it?

I'm not that confident with weathering, I'd hate to spoil a nice paintjob with bad weathering. Besides, my sisters are clean freaks!

I'm mostly planning on filling the big flat (well curved) areas with decals and/or some simple freehand Sister symbols.




You might notice I've not attached the ammo feed cable. I magnetized it (as well as the arms and weapon mounts) so I can take it apart. The torso and legs are separate as well.

Well, I think I'm done:



and both knights together:


Next up: 8 Fiends of Slaanesh (I thought I had 9, but could only find 8...)

Great work on the slaanesh guys.
Also like the colour scheme on the Knights
Keep up the good work!

Very nice work it looks great, plus I like what you've done with the base, it instantly gives it a sense of scale when you see it.

Cheers, I'm planning on adding an infantry model of some sort to finish it off, but haven't decided yet what it will be.

In keeping with the Knight theme I'm also working on what's almost the oldest 40k Knight model:

Been a while since the last update. I have been playing a lot of games and my painting time was almost 0.

But it's the holidays now so I got some work in:

Started on my Fiends of Slaanesh:




Was missing one pair of arms, so I grabbed what I could find.

After some time off (I was both busy with work/other hobbies and an aversion to painting skin) I've picked up where I left:



and



Now I have only a Lord of Change, a Herald of Slaanesh on steed and a last Herald of Nurgle on palanquin left.

Not much more and the daemons will be complete! I do have a number of projects lined up after that. Lots of backlog to clear.

Those are some very nice demons. Well done

Thanks!

Now working on my 2nd Lord of Change:

Some progress on the Lord of Change:

Haven't been busy with the daemons much, but I did win a Bloodthirster box somewhere:
