Its strange where life takes you. Before I go on I think one of the main reasons I nearly quit 40k was I'd lost track of what my goals were. I'd been lucky enough to have a large playgroup at the local shop, but eventually things got a touch competitive. It began innocently enough, but soon we were really beginning to optimize. I should have just been building wild things and rolling dice. Thankfully I've rekindled that spark with a few good friends and we've decided to get together and play for the of it again. My advice would be to just enjoy life and the company you keep.

My Grey Knights have been set aside. I think I just lost interest in the color scheme, or they were wrapped up in sour memories, not sure. After a long time of debate, trying to figure out if I wanted to start another army, I found that chaos had been whispering in my ears all along and so I did what came naturally. I gave in.

I figured Slaanesh was a cool theme, good potential for conversions and I find pink and purple to be fantastic colors. Sadly cash flow is a slight issue at the moment, but I have managed to maximize the kits I've had lying around. There was a Dark Vengeance box collecting dust as well as a truckload of bits gathered from friends throughout the years. Good thing friends, especially when you have a bunch that hate modeling and painting, you're sure to get a ton of bits!

The following models are in the works.

Yet to be purchased:
x1 Chaos Terminator Lord
x1 Slaanesh Daemon Prince (that is going to be fun)
x2 Hellbrute
x1 Chaos Sorcerer

Needing Assembly and Conversion:
x4 Chaos Terminators
x10 Noise Marines (including 2 blastmasters)
x2 Chaos Rhinos
x5 Havocs
x11 Cultists (for sure now)

Ready for Paint:
x1 Chaos Land Raider


Finished:
x1 Hellbrute

First up for a progress shot is the Dark Vengeance Hellbrute. He's about 1/3 painted at the moment.

I may add to the base, it doesn't speak to me yet. I really like this sculpt, tons of fun details to find!

I decided to give my cultists a unique look and I happen to have a ton of Dark Eldar lying around. At the moment they are on temporary bases for painting.


I need like 20 of these ladies and its going to drive me mad gluing on those horns.

My Blastmaster needs... work, a lot of work. Not really sure what else to do in order to make the weapon look more interesting. Any thoughts are welcome!


And that's what I have at the moment. Its been only a week and already I feel I've done a lot more work then I'm used to. I might have been a bit lazy before, but now that the creativity is flowing I'm finding it hard to stop. Once again any ideas for Noise Marine conversions would be awesome.

One Hellbrute down, two more to go!

Looking good so far, Slaanesh will be pleased.

I really like the cultists, one of them ladies needs a riding crop or a cat-o-nine-tails for a ccw

Nice stuff. Like the vibrant pink you have going on there, works well with the black, brass and bone. Not too busy, yet still evocative of the Slaaneshi sensationalist vibe

Some nice work on the cultists, the horns sell it for me. And the cultist leaping off the brute's fist is a great idea, like that a lot.


For the blastmaster cabling is always going to be a good addition, however it might also be worth thinking about the barrel end. Maybe something with more of a speaker grille effect, or a horn from a fantasy musician, something that sells the idea of a sonic weapon as opposed to solid ammo. Or perhaps the exhaust from a marine backpack could be fitted into the mouth of the current nozzle.

Look forward to following your progress....

Love the pink color its really striking
Keep up the great work!

Yes! The pink is very eye catching! 2 more dv helbrutes?

I like the cultist, defiantly will keep an eye on this project
