Its a bit out of my price range at the moment so we shall see what happens, I have so many projects I want to do its just a case of prioritising which one gets funded next.

Currently undercoating more Sisters but I should be picking up my base model for a Lone Wolf tomorrow or the day after...I've lost track of what day it is as I've been working 6 day weeks all month

Should have another objective painted by the end of the weekend at the least.

Cheers Skalk I wasn't sure if it looked any good or not, my scratch building skills are very poor.

Thanks for the feedback on the Sisters, have no fear there are loads of things left for my Chaos armies to do. I've not even contemplated whats in store for my Night Lords army yet but they are going to be very dark, thinking along the lines of painting them in a night time setting with all their visors lit up etc, lots of OSL.

Edit: Also I'll be doing Iron Warriors and loads more on the Emperor's Children and the other armies I've already started on.

A WIP shot of my Lone Wolf today

I will have another objective marker to show tomorrow the water effects take a while to dry.

Two updates in two days not bad considering how slow its been over the last few weeks.

I painted up the Lone Wolf today. I think I managed to convert him enough so he's not instantly recognisable as Arjac the base model.











And here's the second objective marker, number three has been started so if you are really lucky you might see it finished during the week.

Liking the conversions the conversions were what drew me to your World Eaters thread as well a sign of a well thought out army.

Skalk I think they would put him down

Todays update isn't that exciting I'm afraid its objective marker number three There is a fourth in fact its a lot bigger than these three but its not needed for the tournament so has gone to the back of the painting list for now.





Mostly been working on my Seraphim in my Imperium blog all weekend, but have no fear my chaos codex should arrive in the post tomorrow then I can plan out the next lot of chaos goodness for you all to see. I have won a few of the Dark Vengeance Chosen models off ebay so they will be arriving at the end of the week ready to be converted.

Thanks Git's

My Chaos codex arrived yesterday and to be honest I do love what the've done with it but also hate it at the same time as its made most of my collection invalid without purchasing new models

Well I have a tournament with the Chaos army of what I can pull together at the start of November, I cant take the Dark Wolves as they have certain friendly rules like you can only have so many of a certain unit and having every squad as Wolf Guard would be a big no no.

So I've been bashing my head to make a chaos list up and I cant buy any new models as I dont have any spare cash or time to paint them so for those with knowledge of the new codex how does this look.

Abaddon
275

Chaos Lord
Mark of Nurgle
Blight Grenades
Palanquin of Nurgle
Sigil of Corruption
Combi Melta
Veterans of the long war
Power Weapon
Melta Bombs
160

khorne Berzerker Squad
3 extra guys
power fist
boon of mutation
197

Plague Marines
Melta Gun x2
Power Fist
Rhino

Twin-linked Lascannon
215

Defiler
Twin-linked Lascannon
215

Obliterators 2 man squad
Veterans of the long war
Mark of Tzeentch
140

Total 1799

Abaddon runs with the Zerkers, the lord goes in a rhino with the melta plagues and the defilers use the rhinos as mobile cover.

The codex has given me lots of ideas for the future so have no fear on the chaos front and for those of you in love with Typhus here are some excellent Plague Zombie models that I will be looking at picking up at some point. http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/mantic-games/warpath/the-corporation/z-corps/prod_18570.html

I'll give you a break down of what you can expect to see in the future at a later point as my brain is still processing ideas.

Also I'm quite interested in building some scenery for my own table so I can practice against myself as I have no friends lol, I blame Skalk's and Neil101's blogs for that though

A WIP pic of one of my chosen that I worked on over the weekend.



I picked up three of the same pose from ebay and plan to get the chosen set as well, its going to be four of this pose with Plasma Guns plus another for the champion. I'm going to try and swap out the heads on the other three but what was just a simple weapon swap turned out to take me ages due to how the weapon is attached.

At first I couldn't tell that was a weapon swap, and I was wondering why you posted a pic of an unconverted, unpainted model. That's how good the swap was.
