This is some good heresy, OP. Love the Spiderlisk. For names - The Eye That Walks? Crawling Thunder? Arachnoquake?

I also love the knight helmets on the cultists - they might be a little big, but a Chaos cultist seems like exactly the sort of dude who would find/be gifted something like that and make sure they wear it no matter how fethin' uncomfortable/sore they get because a) their God demands it and b) it looks badass.

Solid progress.

I would literally call it 'The Thing'.

Or maybe Skipper the Eyechild, but that's because I'm a big fan of a British TV show that almost certainly didn't air in Switzerland.

Hmm need to investigate. Altough "the Eyechild" would be interesting.

Actually i made that choice more out of the reason, that only the nutcases would neither use a metalmask / helmet.
Mostly though because of my own expirience.

Not to mention that Mutation on a space hulk population also could be rather big and the cannonfodder part you saw in pg.2 are also worker /"volunteers" that potentially also had some rather unpleasant Jobs to do.

Again a Eye suggestion, i do like arachnoquake, but to long.

Anyways welcome aboard!

Love the armigers, dude. I may need to steal that conversion idea for my army.

You need to improvise on the Arms.
Forgot that to mention, and also make the side part flat since the Arms are fixed by the shoulder pads (?)
Not to mention the cylinders on the Arms need some shortening and you need some stuff to cover the sides since the Forgefiend arm is not in the socket.

Skipper the Eyechild is an episode of and character in a spoof-horror TV show made by Channel 4 called "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace".

I am laughing my ass off, that is hillarious!
Eyechild it is for the little lovebug with the long gun!

And we begin anew with painting:
Think the white masks makes a good contrast:

And, we advance further, also found my old baneblade, which needs some fixing up.







Next up i guess i beginn to paint up my Valkyries.

And the first squad is finished:

Meinel




Some squadmembers:





Yes some got camo helmets, others have 31. written on them, others have a Khornate symbol on their helmet.



now i just need to paint the other groundsquads up as to fix in the painted up Missile Launchers/ AT guns.

I was actually quite fond of your first Idea, S.C.A, Self Crawling Artillery.

It still is S.C.A. It now just also has a name.

SCA the Eyechild.

How do you lose a Baneblade?

Nope:
S.C.A: "The Eyechild"

I am swiss, we "lost" 12 MBT's in a fortress (bunker complex) and about the first thing you learn in the swiss military is what you are allowed to lose and what you are not allowed to lose.

(losing tanks= losing the part of your assult rifle to switch it to full auto = )



Truth be told i never really used my Baneblade, so i put it into a box and stored it away.

And i got some work in on Insidolfus.

I am also sick, i feel like nurgle spit in my soup.

Anyways, happy new year.



And i still can't paint stuff^^

So today, i worked further on my cute little valkyrie, aswell as insidolphus.

and whilest i am content with the vlakyire so far,i am not particulary happy with how insidolphus turned out.

Mainly i tried to do some runic stuff, since he looked to clinically sterile for a dark mechanicus magos.

I swear if i look at my runes i either end up pressing like a elephant or have parkinson and twitch all over the model..




Automatically Appended Next Post:
So brought good old insidolphus also to an acceptable level.
need coffee now.




This are the Runes i so much despise:



Now in true terrible quality:

"Tell me, lord Phyrax, why did you decide to follow us? To be honest, General, because you have a plan, a ship, well if you want to call the Abhorrent that way, but more importantly a cause. A cause worthy of Khornes attention, simply put. By beeing around your little vendetta i grow too in power and i too again have a cause. Just like these brothers that were lost before, i too lost my cause a long time ago, playing shadowy games without impact just to be discarded as cannonfodder as soon as i became uncomfortable, here I am too on a Vendetta and once more filled with fire and just rage." Part of a voice recording sometimes after the succesfull assult on Diametres 1

So Phyrax now got some more astartes bretheren rallied around him.



this is one of the two 5 man squads (the other one got a plasma launcher)

Whilest i also thought that good old Insidolphus could also get a job on the field:



introducing Argnar, and mostly the thing Insidolphus will babysitt as a count as warpsmith.

And these little Skittari will be run as a Cultist squad:


That brings Phyrax's Warband up to a Battalion consisting off:


HQ
Phyrax

Insidolphus

troops:

5x CSM Missile launcher

5x CSM Plasma gun

10x Cultists

Elite:

Phyraxes Imoortals 5x chosen with 5 combibolters and a power maul

5x Khorne berzerkers with Bolt pistols and 4 chainswords 1x powersword

5x Khorne berzerkers with bolt pistols and 4 Chainaxes 1x powerfist

2 x Rhino with combi bolter and havoc launcher each

1x Agnar, Reaper autocannon Hellbrutepowerfist.

Assult:

3x CSM bikers



Now i am thinking about tomorrow, i either get a Hellturkey, since i like the mdel to no end, another chimera, 10 raptors or something else that takes my fancy beyond some colours and a black spray.

Edit: How did i end up with 2400 views?!?
Something ain't right.

A small teaser.





Those who guess the unit, get to suggest a name for it.

So this here, is the "ogryn Berzerker Champion"


Yes he has a magmacutter that count's as a power drill.


Of course they need to be kept in line!

Wip Minotaur berzerkers. Funny story i always wanted a big guys only Beastmen army, however wasn't a fan of Aos /WHFB so never started, now i went to the shop, looked at the ogryns, turned left and saw these.






For some mutants picked out of a spacehulk and modified by Insidolphus i am quite content. The skin could use some washes and some of the parts are not painted at all but am quite happy how they work out so far.

So. finished Ogryns, well Minotaurs, either way, i think they turned out okay:

So, i kinda think the S:C:A piece has become my favorite out of my little pet project.
The eyechild simply put is adorable:







Still heavly WIP, need to mostly correct minor faults and some other things, but overall, AIN'T IT A ADORABLE LITTLE BASILIK WANNABEE?

Holy of Holys, this has moved on since I was last here.

Loving the Minogryns. In fact, I love it all.

FWIW, I don't see an issue with your painting. I think you're judging yourself too harshly.

Is the Baneblade going to be joining the other enlightened members of your 'Renegades', then?

too generous, fun fact, i used some ogre or now OGORS (whoever came up with that name needs to be beaten) weapons someone traded in for voxes.

As for the baneblade, probably, altough it needs a look at.

Ah, the smell of finished models that actually look finished!
Maybee it is just coffee though, Anyways, Enjoy:
First of, The Eyechild that little lovebug, with washes and fixes aswell as some better fleshy bits:



Then ofcourse finished Meinel:



And his personal Squad:





Especially proud of the Missile Launcher /Howitzer:



And Insidolphus:



Minor faults and washing ofcourse for him aswell.

Done are now:
General Meinel
Insidolphus

Minogryns
The Eyechild

First squad of Panzerfüsiliere.

I present you Graff.

With mark and some of his Fallschirmgrenadiere, WIP of course but what do you think?

You have 2400 views 'cause your stuff is awesome.

Yes it is, should have seen the face when I asked the clerc for it

Nobody expects the London Grey!

But let us look at the Brightside!


I also asked for scions, to bad he atm didn't have any.

Wanted to create some propper elite marauders for babysitting reasons.

Btw, i once again tired of painting.....

So i dug through my bitz box and look what i've found!
IT is possitively ancient! and perfectly fits into Phyraxes A-Team



Will run it as a jumppacklord with combibolter!

now i either have the posibility for a tackle via shoulder or a sweeping sideways advance with the bolter forward:

Decisions decisions.





The finished endproduct.

Today in "Not Online!!! once more shows his terrible Painting"

Well, Phyraxes A- Team comes toghether, here the fellow that helped him leg it after nearly beeing assasinated via mission.









Yes i tried myself at flames. I am somewhat happy.

And i gave Phyrax the wash treatment:

I still think you're being too hard on yourself.

I will say though that a finished base adds to the aesthetic appeal of minis considerably.

I prefer neutral black bases, ofcourse that means not that I wont put stuff on em.
Generally i have a bit of tradition that units of mine that perform outstanding in a match gain trophies which then will be added on the base or the model itself. F.e.the khorne berzerker champion of mine with a Pf got his trophy rack after challanging and killing a c'tan in melee.

Yes i am wierd, but i am not going to stop that little tradition of mine now

Edit: that is probably a leftover of my first army, yes i once was an orky player, yes troophies grant a flat reroll for a git dead, yes that is fair.

The one behind.
Reminds me i need to propperly finish them soon.

I would argue that everyone in the hobby is at least a little bit weird, if 'weird' means 'unusual'. Most people don't spend money on plastic crack, don't spend hours painting figurines and don't write stories about them, so all of those thing are 'unusual' or 'weird'.

At the end of the day, they're your minis and if you prefer a plain black base then who gives a [Expletive Deleted] what I think about bases, right?

In other news, I was talking to an old friend last night who reminded me that on one of our trips to Chamonix Mont-Blanc, we accidentally invaded Switzerland by snowboarding down the wrong side of Le Tour.

Sorry about that.

I guess so, but i i consider it just a hobby, it is either this or in my case gaming. Frankly since PC games tend nowadays to be gak, or gambling dens in disguise i say, why bother wasting money there when I can get some paint, glue and miniatures.

How dare thou!

Also were you freeriding kid, because if so, we will find you and then we will let you disapear in one of our bunkers, like we do with anything really come to think of it.

Jokes aside don't be stupid if you freeride, can be terrible for your health and I don't want a repeat of a certain incident...
