Yep, with their jaws clipped off

No scales, not as awesome as you. I'm just going with rusted blue/green.

I swear i was litearally just about to buy elysian stuff and a valk to do renegade paratroopers. Now it won't be original.

Those disciples are made of pure win, amazing. Its funny how the FW stuff is all the same scale. It looks like the elysian stuff was made to go with the renegade arms.

Also, when i ordered my FW Model Masterclass it got there in 2 days so

Heh heh heh. I know you were, I've set up cameras to watch you constantly. The bits fit well although Elysian arms are bit weedier than the Vraks ones.

Haemoraging more of my future offspring's trust fund to FW after Chrimbo, then.

I'm sure they'd understand. It will bring you a step towards godliness and you just need to tell them that.

But still loving the progress.I await more as per usual Check out my latest blog its slow as usual but its a blog no less.

heres the link or what I think is the link.

But in other words good stuff sir carry on!

Shameless advertising in mah blog?!?! HERESY! Taking a look now.

UPDATE!!

I was a bit of a tit and thought the Nitty Gritty armour contest ended on the 14th so I thought I had some time. Imagine my annoyance when I came on last night to see it had already ended. Bugger! Anyway, I think this means I'm allowed to post what I was going to enter. I'm still basecoating it.


WiP Salamander

I'm also trying to throw together an extra squad of militia out of old failed guardsmen I've either been given or made a few years ago.


WiP Sergeant


WiP Designated Marksman

I also have another sniper in the making bringing my overall count to 7 (as I have 3 metal cadian ones)


I have started to paint a Disciple of Xaphan to get a test colour scheme going but it's not quite ready for showing. I'm taking my time with them largely because they need to soak before I build them.

If anybody is interested, I do throw up a lot more WiP pictures onto my facebook profile which I don't deem good enough for the DakkaElite. Feel free to add me: http://www.facebook.com/infilTRAITOR

As for that list, Sanchez, just sorting out the heavy support and I'll throw it up.

Ah, I couldnt pick 'your style' from the entries (are they all loyalist? I might have to check). This looks interesting, where did you source the base model for the vehicle?

The Malcador is traitor. There were some good entries. The count-as chimera one impressed me quite a bit but it looks as if everyone is going for the Malcador or Macharius.

My base model is this:



Using 1/35 Panzerspahwagen Sd.Kfz. 231 wheels.

i like your designated marksman

Just sent you a facebook addy..

Anyway, the sniper and designated marksman are looking great. I don't know where the sniper's legs are from though. Care to enlighten me?

Really interested to see what you do with the Belehlpanzer in the end too!

Keep up the good work

First of all, i guess that means you saw me your gf. (jk, lol!)

Secondly, thats guttin, i was looking forward to what you would throw up from your twisted warp-deformed brain! Salamander looks a good conversion, maybe a tad bare imo, but paintjob should amend that.

Also, i love scraping together the last few men your bitz box allows, makes for some really good misfits. Looking forward to more,

Vitruvian

Like the Salamander

Beautiful work mate. It's so impressive to see this blog pile up with such good stuff



One thing, what's this boyo's head? I've wracked my brains and can't think of anything it could be from.

Stay sharp,

Love your work, I myself am starting a Traitor Guard force w/ Daemonhunter allies as CSM, but I guess thats different from what your doing (Apoc vraks, amirite)

Cool stuff, man, keep it up.

Sarge with power axe and bp looks awsome and where did you get the tact head.

Ya know what they remind me of th eiron clad in the emporers mercy book you need to make single man drop pods for you shock troopers that would be awsome

Legs are from an Empire archer team I believe. Fits the cloaked theme well I thought.

Wehrmacht sniper head from West Wind Productions. Some of the best heads I've ever seen in that blister

Yeah, Vraks for me. Did initially use guard dex but didn't offer enough variety.

Empire Flagellents is where from

That's not a bad idea. Something for me to think about over xmas.

I don't have much of an update but I have just kinda completed this for entrance into a competition whose theme is "Fly The Flag". I'm not overly happy with it but it's the best I could do in the time I had left.

You dont need to worry mate - looks gold! Gotta have a better look at your alpha guys.

Cheers!

I thought it was written' United we stand , Divided they fall' ?

Cool entry though

^I think that's the point.

I will take some snaps later in the week. The one above is the only one I've completed thus far.

Tek wrote:^I think that's the point.

Yeah, it's a play on the words since it's Chaos and Chaos is usually divided into numerous factions whereas the Imperium is seen (doesn't mean it's true) as a united force of humanity.

i think its awsome! really great model. could we get a close up on your guy in front? is he the basis for your elaysian traitor crossovers?

I like the diorama, but the phrase does not fit with the chaos undivided flag.....

DC

Dude, where's your mask pic gone!! Awesome diorama though, you really needn't worry about it. I've been wondering for a while though, what uni you at??

deadly chicken wrote:I like the diorama, but the phrase does not fit with the chaos undivided flag.....

what he said.^^ i really dig your rust/dirt/gritty painting, though.
also, "divided we stand, united we fall" is one of the inofficial bon mots of the inquisition according either to eisenhorn or ravenor.

yeah but it says "divided we stand, united THEY fall" not united WE fall...

You've been working a lot harder than me... I'm embarassed! I need to get something done, apparently.

MOAR!

Still going great I see!

Good work mate

Cheers,

Jack.

Amazing traitor army you have going here. Traitors are definitely my favorite part about Chaos, it's just sad they got rid of the LatD codex, which allowed for some really fun stuff. Still, this is definitely an army I'd like to face on the table to give me something to gawk at as my troops get blown away!

ghosty wrote:i think its awsome! really great model. could we get a close up on your guy in front? is he the basis for your elaysian traitor crossovers?

He is my prototype for them, yes. I'm still working on him so I'm hoping to have some decent pictures by next week.

deadly chicken wrote:I like the diorama, but the phrase does not fit with the chaos undivided flag.....

Chaos, by nature, is a divided entity. Their follows are usually made of numerous factions which spend just as much time fighting each other than their common enemies. Chaos Undivided is simply a specific faction's way of worshipping their gods. So, Chaos armed forces are divided. Imperial forces are united to bring down Chaos.

Vitruvian XVII wrote:Dude, where's your mask pic gone!! Awesome diorama though, you really needn't worry about it. I've been wondering for a while though, what uni you at??

Mask pic has gone to make way for the jinglyfest. It will be back come December 26th. I'm at Brighton Uni at the moment. Have to travel there from Portsmouth every day which is sick as I only have to be there for 6hours week but I spend 28hours traveling.

Yeah, LatD rules were good but only really a stop-gap before Vrak's took over and made Traitor's wtfawesome!

Update!

Kinda. Been a bit of a hectic few weeks what with essays coming out of the wazzoo. You try writing a paper on 'how Angus Calder draws upon the experiences of ordinary people during The Blitz' and not come out the other end with at least three new mental problems. On the plus side, managed to sneak to Bovington Tank Museum on Sunday and took advantage of my year pass!!



Saracen just left to die. So sad. But weathering is awesome!



Check out the rusting! And yes, that is an old Sherman!



Check out the Char B1. Half of the paint on it was actually melted away. MELTED!!

Going to be using these photos as inspiration while I paint this over the weekend:


As for my competition entry, I came a humble sixth place. Seeing as though a number of entries were Golden Daemon standard, I was rather chuffed. I've taken some more pictures of it as the original picture was just gak and a lot of people commented on that fact.





As usual, click on the image for a bigger view.

Took this picture as well to show the size of my Alphas:


These aren't "true-scale", I just altered the mini a little while building to make them seem bulkier i.e. putting the arms on a little higher up.

I have also started work on another army but fear not! This Traitor army is my apocalypse army and will always grow!

Hurrah!
Link to your new force please!

Nice Bovi Photos.

Did you go into the shop ?

You're joking about starting a second Traitor army...

I know where the photo is taken! Bovington!

All the same, keep up the good work. Updates are really good to see.
