Slaanesh Havoc with Blastmaster






It's been a looong long time since I've participated in Dakka but I haven't really taken a break from the hobby just been lurking out here waiting quietly for 8th ed. So since my last blog thing I've sold off my eldar army, a large portion of my black templars (I wasn't happy with them, but not enough to strip them so I found them a good home as well as my guard army), I've been doing alot of this and that including streaming my painting sessions on Twitch.tv/molotovsoda (shameless self plug, it's my blog damnit!). I'm currently back from school for the summer and I've been mainly painting and hobbying sporadically. Here's some spoiler tags for those that want to get straight to the "eye candy"

OH, also I only take local FLGS commissions, I can't be bothered to do shipping and handling and really I only do it so more people at our gaming club have nicely painted stuff

The Cult of Fury & Lust + traitor guard fluff
Spoiler:
I've always like the idea of chaos marines but really hated how much spikes and random bs is on them so I wanted to do an army themed around being pretty marines, but as chaos gods are concerned it's never exactly what you bargain for and I wanted to have this "beauty corrupted" theme going and the Fury bit, well if you're trying to look your best and the chaos gods laugh and feth you over...wouldn't you be a little pissed?

So the tentative fluff for this war band is that they are originally emperors children but some of the officers decided it was time to splinter off, they had their own ideas of what they wanted from slaanesh and went to build their following. Pillaging and plundering their way through the eye of terror and surrounding systems they were able to convert and grow their numbers before crash landing outside of some imperial hiveworld, these boys are very unlucky, surrounded by planetary defense forces they fought their way into the undercity and hid among the wrenched and forgotten.

After some time they establish their cozy cult den and begin to grow like a tumor under the unsuspecting city above. It didn't seem like much, an private in the planetary defense force would come to their district for a good time, then tell his friends about the untold pleasures in the underhive. In a remarkably short time the cult had grown and infected part of the defense force with their hunt to please slaanesh (without the use of hentai tentacles, the most overplayed slaanesh trope ever.)

fast forward a few short years and riots begin to break out all over the hive, soldiers with pale skin and adorned in trinkets, gold and pink are spotted more and more often (they are pale because they live in an undercity afterall), these riots often require military force to quell and after each instance a tank goes missing from the armory here, munitions there, here and there things are not adding up. The cult begins to smuggle arms to their underhive

Up to this point the cult has not used it's hidden military force and the marines walked through the district like gods among the poor people who had not yet joined them, offering them riches and a chance to strike back at the upper class who has forgotten them so long ago. Needless to say this grew into a major armed conflict of class warfare with the cult arming the denizens of the undercity and pointing their rage towards strategic objectives and guiding them ultimately towards capturing and controlling a major space port of the imperial city.

Currently the Cult has barricaded themselves inside the city controlling a major port allowing them to bring additional supplies from orbit, occasional attempts by different factions of the Inquisition have tried to cut their way into the city but were met with an entire population of a hive city against them, anyone within the walls who had not joined the cult was at this point sacrificed or was overdue for it...

Maybe one day I'll take some more time to build this story out a bit and make some narrative missions or something neat for it, we'll see gotta build and paint the army first and then fit the narrative to fit their basing a bit more...maybe they are summoning a demon or something and it's causing the ground to get ruptured or some gak...


I'm currently not home to take better pics/updated pics so I'll just put these up for now


The Cult









Traitor Guard


Black Templar

Commissions









Anyway, hope you guys like it. I hope that this blog adds a level of self accountability to my painting table and more than anything give something back to you guys instead of just lurking and checking out what other people are up to. If you have any questions about how to do something, feel free to ask! I'll do my best to try to explain how to do it, if I end up hobbying for long stretches of time maybe i'll kick up my twitch stream.

Thanks much guys!

Very nice clean painting style, and that board for your Slaanesh army is great

I've been playing a while, my first model was a lead marine and my first White Dwarf was bound with staples

Thanks man, yeah it's the first time I've ever done lava or a board that big part of me really wants to redo it...but i'll wait till I do the one for my guard and templars and circle back (sadly I have no pics of the guard platoon on hand and it's likely that i'll be stripping and repainting my 3 leman russes to fit the theme a bit more)
