So, now i am having some decision problems.

I am going to soon (hopefully) get 60 WW1 germans from Wargames atlantic.

As above, i am planning the next project.
On one hand i really like the new CSM and experience would be dictating that with the next step in getting my painting game up would serve me well.

However, i also want another type of army, i did toy around with GSC as cultists (some good fits, ) and with the removal off R&H as an actual faction it would be the closest to adapt and count as. Bonus points for getting 60 neophytes with stahlhelm on the cheap , when they then arrive.

HOWEVER, the painting scheme is non negotiable, as in i will attempt my hand at white + brass + purple. (and of course Chaos symbols instead of GSC... )
Further , it allows me to tie in daemon units, considering i'd make a summoner cults i could use the Skulltaker as an "abominant".
Bloodletters as hybrids?.
Neophytes i 'd use the germans, the assasins i can build out of the other models i get, certainly getting some bikers.

So as you can see, the last bits get going, blackphase once again, and allready working on the Plasma for the count as Forgefiend with ectoplasma.

Also, the stuff i ordered is allready sent, hopefully it doesn't drown in the snow, then i guess will jump into the GSC conversion project.

Well radiation is done, next is copper mixing, some more details and then Paint some nice words AND then finally, washing.

Those are some great looking chaos armigers, I might have to steal that idea! Those maulerfiend heads go perfectly with those bodies.

by all means, you get also nice weapons AND a imo better looking Mauler / forge fiend stand in.

Nothing against the dino bot , but i prefer them bypedal

Great use of the fiend parts, I think GW should make the chaos knights look more like this. Are the hoods of the chaos troops going to be yellow?

I wanted to give them Danger strypes ala IW. focus on wanted

Ahh well, i will still try to achieve that but ...if need be, yes they will remain yellow.

As for the chaos knights, i do think it's mostly the amirigers and other non Chaos knight bits that suffer from this since they are in essence just knights with spikes beyond the few specific chaos options.

I allways wanted a plasma fiend, not because they are good, but because having what is in essence a 3 headed hydra spitting plasma at your enemies is an interseting concept.

Things to do on him: Words and runes?

Also, soon, Not online will start painting white, and purple, soon. ...



I got some rudimentary plans, but first i finish the last batch for Phyraxes warband and the 31.st.

I nearly got rid of my pile of shame , nearly

Oh man, that is an exciting pile of bits! Lots to look forward to.

Mr Pinchy turned out great too - nice green glow effect!

Not Online!!!

Good work.

Cheers,

Ha, yes, the yellow asbestos hoods for chosen does indeed look nice aswell... however, yellow = layers... good yellow = many many layers...





Well, the first batch.

the other one needs a bit more touching up. One should not be breaking ice and then afterwards painting

10 Chosen done and dusted. As always in the simple scheme for Phyrax. Also yellow asbestos security clothing to protect faces from their own weapons

And some of the final parts for the 31.
Need washing but first let the dirt dry a bit , also i missed some details i need to fix :















Quite happy with the dirtwater mix...
Also i will miss the simple grey red scheme when i start painting white,

Oh, you have been productive these last days, the artillery pieces are looking nice !

These tanks are looking good and the troopers keep getting better.

Thanks yeah

Well, gotta polish the last bit of phyraxes warband and the 31.








wierd camera performance today...

I like those model tanks. It can be difficult to find vehicles with a scale that meshes nicely with 40k models. A good find.

black trimings and some heads and fabrics-

I like those mobile guns Not Online!!!.

Cheers,

CB

Those look super cool!

Hey mate, some great stuff going on in here.

Artillery fit right into the 40k world - that is often hard to get from scale kits, so nice find there!

Yellow hoods are a nice touch on the Chosen, and I am looking forward to seeing No-heads-only-guns come to life!

Thank you, 1: 35 tamaya, meassured pre buy thanks to some nice chap in the historical kits for 40k use thread in News and rumor i believe?!?
Also, tamaya means slightly over detailed for 40 k use so taking a fastlane and skipping some bit is adivsed for the gun, other than that i can get 2 of these for 1 basilisk...

The german 21cm mortar ? personally the best find i had in a long time, same with the wasp. I did decide though that i will add them as a "brood brothers" unit to my Daemoncult i am building

The chosen i like quite a bit, first time i painted yellow aswell for other then flames, multiple thin coats as the god of painting states.

As for the horrorclass, yeah that is the next bit of my project, after that i will need to redo my group shot for Phyraxes warband.

Then i will finally maybee finish up the valkyries and make a groupshot of the 31.

and then i will go forth and conquer the white for my Daemonworshiping cult.

Started on the Horror- Class defieler.



And did work a bit on the Honor guard for Phyrax.

Honor guard for phyrax:







ready to play whack-a-maul with some loyalists

And the Horrorclass:







Not bad, for my medicore skills in painting..

next up, the Havocs and valkyries...

After that, Phyrax's warband is done, as is the 31.st which means one last group shop before wnadering in a box...

Then it means friendship ended with london grey, white is my new best friend.... (which i doubt but he )

Well the project's finally done.










After this, it's time to rename the Blog

Quite the majestic sight ! But don't you need more tanks ?

well, it was planned at one stage, before GW decided to pull a "no rules for thee but for every marine colour ever!" .

I wanted 2 full griffon mortar strike batteries (6 griffons) and have a full company of infantry which would've meant another 3 chimeras full of models aswell as finishing off a 3rd leman russ vanquisher... So yeah overall 8 tanks and another 24 infantry men are missing in essence.

As it stands though i just fail to see why i should further expand it, i can't legally run this formation due to the snipers and stubbers as an IG army, and even though i could easily turn it into a guard army that would be legal, it would also do not a good job representing it or the baseline vision i had when i started the army as it stands.

That leads to the legends ruleset...
The legend ruleset is frankly put an insult for everyone that ever collected some vraksian models or wanted to build up a R&H army.( not even from a competitive standpoint, it's just fething nonsensical and shows off how much GW cares about internal balance.)

The GSC ruleset does lend itself well, but the whole daemoncults / mutant cult you can represent even better with it , both aspects i always wanted to toy arround with , however nothing that has to do with the 31.

So yeah, i think i finished it. Not out of my own will but at the end i am still a player AND collector/ hobbyist. And the first part does play a significant role for the other parts for me atleast, especially if i feel i can't put a vision down and enjoy it on the field anymore.
