This is the first time I have seen this army. It has got to be the best IW army I have ever seen. Truly inspiring work.

I give up.

Been stuffing around with ideas and they look stoopid.  Feel free to give me some ideas, I'm at a loss at the moment.

At least there are rivets in this update...lol

How about the twin bolter and the flamer being mounted on the dreads shoulder?

Here's what I've done today, just used the defiler leftovers and made a little Vindicator walker number 2.





It'll do the job and it's not too bad.  I almost converted it to another CC defiler, but I'll keep it as a possessed vindicator.  Roughly the same points cost anyways...

Its great but the cannon looks a bit bare/weedy to me
Maybe add an ammo feed (the shells have to get up there somehow!) or another weapon (twin linked bolter/ combi weapon?) or even just some glowing lights/targeters around the main gun

And a few games shots from the weekend and a time before that. I couldn't be bothered with a blow by blow coz ... well ... I can't remember. All I remember is the Black Widow blowing up first turn in 2 different games...

My 1750 force awaiting battle:



And some fight scenes:




STOP IT YOU ARE MAKING ME FEEL (EVEN MORE!) INFERIOR!!!!!
Seriously though great models




Trying to line up a landraider through the rocks:

wow that is a real nice army
good work!!!

Isn't it about time for the next update Lemming? Go go go!

Great gear btw

Lemming, I was never one for conversions, but after seeing this work I have to say I'm kinda dying to pick up some plasticard and more greenstuff so I can get to work!

Your army looks phenomenal... I hope you post again soon, it's been a month!!

Sweeeeeet im just wandering when the next update will happen?

Blood_pact - I appreciate the comments but hey - 12 months too late dude... sorry. They're already painted and done.

As to everyone else wanting updates? You'll have to sit tight because I haven't got a camera as the old one died. So unless someone would like to donate a decent one to me - I won't be able to provide you with any more photos till I get that sorted out. Sorry guys.

On the painting front I've been painting individual models because to be honest - I'm sick of painting stacks of models at a time. I'm been painting up the Phoenix lords at the moment, focussing on using the CMYK colour wheel and using some colour theory to play with the hues and such. It's working very nicely I might add - I'm quite happy with the results.

CMYK FTW!!!

I'd love to see those... maybe we can set up a paypal site for everyone to donate $1, and in the end you'll have enough for a camera

I would totally put a £1 in ( or $1, whatever)

I'll give a dollar to

Great army by the way

Whoa after seeing this amazing stuff I would love to see your Phoenix Lords. If you do a different thread for it please link it here.

Well I'm not too crazy about chaos but still I love your models!

Is the big guy a daemon prince?

I've signed up to this forum specifically to comment on this thread:

This army is so spectacularly awesome that its inspired me to start collecting warhammer again. Its been... around 7 years now since I stopped collecting (I just stumbled across this site and saw this thread in the top threads section, or whatever its called). I've just started dusting off my old WD mags, and after much rummaging in my attic I've found some of the models I didn't sell on ebay 7 years ago. Things have changed a bit (two new versions of 40k??!!), but my love of wargaming has been rekindled.

So thank you for making this incredible army.

wow get to the chopper your more into this than I O.o

Welcome!

Nice! And I haven't been slack - I've been playing around with a Daemon Prince today - playing around with the model. The one I have was given to me and it's missing one leg, one hand and one backpack skull vent thingy which for me is the mother of invention! I'm sculpting a new leg and looking at ways of making it techy sorta. Now that I think about it - making DP models into oblits is a TERRIFIC idea! Very expensive but cool.

And with me looking at buying a house I've been considering selling off the giants. But that's still an idea in my processes! I can always make more

Sadly still no camera though - maybe in the next 2 weeks we'll see :(

SAD:(

ALSO SAD :( :( :(

This is probably the most epic army I've ever seen. Don't sell your big models!!! They're too good!!!!! THE HOUSE CAN WAIT!!!! lol

Woahhhh! I'm in awe of your creative skill with daemons and iron. . . .

You could always buy them from me and give them a wonderful home!

Awesome work, but the first time i saw the walker i instantly thought of this lol Battlefield 2142

w00t!!! PAC ftw!!! gotta love those russians/asians/middle easterns/indians/not europeans! lol. The PAC always made me laugh.

What?

Just making fun of the PAC in battlefield 2142 and their ridiculous backstory. This is probably the wrong crowd for that, however.

In short: I just fulfilled my weekly need to do something stupid.

umm, how much are they being sold for?

If anyone is hugely interested my initial thoughts are $A5000... Over 3k point value - many many hours painting and conversion as you can all see. But at this stage nothing is set and I haven't made a decision. But if someone just swung me the cash and said "ME! I'LL TAKE IT!" I'd not say no....

Just read this thread from start to finish, what can i say...

Great bloody stuff!!

\What can i asy absolute geniuss, im working on a nurgle army and have got so many ideas from this thread, My friend you are a true god in the eyes of chaos. Great work
