Great and varied additions, well done !

Thanks, KT! First to respond, as always!

Today, the Champions of Plufestea gained a vehicle and lost a vehicle: the one they gained is the huge Disilluminator. I constructed this machine, the personal transport of Lord Kellus, out of an old, heavily Chaos-ified Land Raider. I cut the centre section out (and this became this diorama scenery piece) and joined the front and rear back together with much bodging and green-stuffing. I then added the chassis from an old rhino, the head from a Knight Titan, two predator turrets and various other parts to create this mad machine!


The paint isn't very smooth, because the original model had very thick and lumpy paint, and even though I used paint stripper to try and remove it, it was a long, arduous process to remove even one layer of paint, and eventually it looked smooth to the naked eye (which turned out to be an error). I actually started this project a long time ago - way back in 2016, I think - so it is a product of my old self, and I would probably make it very differently nowadays. I did make some recent modifications though, such as adding the pipes made with my green stuff roller.


I spent a long time painting it, and save for a few touch ups, I feel I cannot make it look better, mainly due to the rough surface, but it's good enough. Sometimes you have to accept that a project is done and move onto the next thing (and I certainly have enough 'next things' to keep me going!)

The daemon engine that has been lost is the Forgefiend The Tormentor. If you see the original paint job, you can see why I repainted this model.

Oh dear, it's bad, isn't it! Look at the trim, and the flesh! Dear, O dear. So I decided to repaint it in the colours of the Black Legion and try to do this model some sort of justice! Here it is:

That is a badass battlethrone, loving the look of the shortened land raider chassis. Great job on the BL scheme too.

These have been sitting on my shelf for a while, but they're finally done. I was supposed to painting a Lord of Skulls, but that's a lot of work and so I took a break to finish these Chosen. They came out quite nicely, and I am particularly pleased with the face of Champion Ahrurus. I also thought it would be a nice touch to represent the four Chaos Gods by painting the tabards in appropriate colours.

Additionally, I have improved my photography, so hopefully, these pictures are nicer to look at than previous pictures!

I woke up today with a plan to set myself a challenge in order to get some painting done. That challenge was to paint 40 zombies (for 'The Unknown' warband) in one day. I only made these a day ago, so if they were to be finished today, that would be one of the most quickly produced units I had ever done... and I managed to do it! It's a very quick colour scheme, as I mentioned before, and so I thought it might be possible. What I didn't realise is that I would be finished before dinner and have time to paint something else!

Here are the zombies. They are nice and colourful, I think! I converted a couple of them to have weapons or Cadian helmets.

The second thing I finished today was a Black Legion Predator, the Hail of Death. It has a modern rhino with OOP metal turrent and sponsons. It's nice and weighty with all that metal on it!

Awesome zombies. And really great call using old school turrets on a modern chassis, the tank ends up with a nice vintage look while gaining in size.

Thanks! The Predator came about mostly by necessity - I just had the bitz and no OOP chassis, so I thought I'd give it a bash and see if it looked good! Glad you like it!
