He can definitely be an unaligned daemon, could almost be a stand in for Belakor as he too is not associated with any of the chaos gods. Looks pretty imposing to boot!

He indeed does.

Now i just need more flaming possesed , maybee even i will scratch build them.

yes yes, slow progress yadda yadda, but you can't expect another 50 models challange so soon again


Also touching up some of my gems:

Not doing 50 at once, slacker! J/K really like that color scheme, is the banner bearer scratch built?

I figure, maybe 5-10 at tops per paint session. Avoid burnout and insanity.

No, the bearer is a Old fw resin one.

You have seen the flag on my profile yeah?
I am allready per Definition insane atleast they told me so

But nah, for me it's more getting started then it is basically done.

Firstly: Touched Up R&H command for the AF auxillia.




Then Progress sofar, to the right, Regulares or former regulars to the left the irregular Cultists.


So , now to the meat: I find personnally that irregular units like Cultists, f.e. often look too uniform, whilest making them looking to scattered can get wierd effects also, so i kinda developped a formula for it: 60% / 30%/ 10% CA.




Split up your unit, the majority get's the regular armies paint scheme in my case Grey red.
The second group, get's a "close" Paint and some red parts, yet to be done in this case.
The third group is a contrasting colour.

You can see it allready in my former 50 model challange for the cultist blob.

Progress and a new Camera.

Also atm, running my R&H feels more like the "enemy at the gates scene" then an actual competition against marine armies


Progress, the Cultists will be done up.

Then on the ones infront, drying, then mud and dirt, on the lower parts (shoes and skirts?) then afterwards washing.
Then next squad skin etc.

Man that’s a lot o’cultists! Much braver man than me having that many WIP, keep ‘em comin’!

Today i played KT, I won due to mass charge.
You need man for the eternal war.


Also since the Nu marines show up, i feel like the only way for me to win is to dedicate myself fully to mass assault.

Which makes the game into basically this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8fWp-i-BGA All the time.


Also, brave is only my infantry. But i let you in on a little secret, there are 2 ways to paint so many models:
A: you are insane, like me and just bulk paint them in a short time.
B: you paint them split up and stretched out like my strategy for this.
Further with this batch i will add a casual 42 fodder models to my AF force which allready nujmbers more then 100 models. i am maybee slightly insane.

Further, the first 7 are done.





Which also hit the table today.

Wow! Great looking cultists Online, those contrast paints look so good on those.

Have you played any games with all those cultists yet ?

Yes, over 70 , infact.
And the new bunch got thrown into kt before even finished.


Also I don't use contrast paints.

Sorry NotOnline I have used the contrast paints and thought the reds looked familiar. I still love how they turned out.

Why sorry,

t's just Evil sun scarlet, washed with a thin brown at the lower level and not equally, to show dirt and then just a general wash of nuln oil that was allowed to form small dirty puddles.

Considering these are the lowest dregs of my army habitating a Spacehulk they are right filthy that way

Also i don't really run them as cultists since i am R&H.

Edit: Also how do you like the last 3 pictures, they are done with a new camera?

The new pics are much better than the old ones, not that they were terrible. Colors are more vibrant.

Next 7 finished



Also good to know Yorkright !

First, some progress:

Yes, that is a traitor commander i used sometimes. Also the cultists aren't finished yet.

And now the meat: So some mates of mine decided to run a Narrative campaign, and they needed a BBEG and his forces. So they asked me, if i'd would use my excessively large ammount of R&H and chaos for a campaign. Good sofar, now, some of the folks also rememebered 7th and my IA 13 lists and after seeing the "new " 8th ed rules perform agreed that that wouldn't do.
So they came to me and asked me to bring the old IA13 book instead adapted.
Further, because i meanwhile sold quite some models / got rid of them due to either not fitting my standard anymore or just because i got desilusioned with my R&H army i now have to repurpose alot of my unpainted stuff.
Therefore welcome to the the BBEG minions of said campaign and what i have to do

Since if i am to use IA13 again i am stuck with the platoon system again so i introduce you to the sofar 171 numbering AF auxillia force list. (and yes the bsf bunch will also go in there as another Platoon) (which would lead to another 42 infantery and 6 mortars added.)

Also funny thing is, this list get's cheaper with the 7th ed rules, now here's the question, would people consider "Master of the horde" (recycle militia squads on 5+ if destroyed or fled) or "Dark Mechanicum" (6+FNP lobotomisation) Or "mutant overlord" (mutation table) more interesting as the generic minions?

Also please share your thoughts and suggestions for the campaign?

Also over 30000 views?!?!

First,, the last cultist squad finished.

this time for a darker more simple look.

Next probably my fav models beyond the stubber teams.

I have especially focussed on the leader, shame gw just cut the line instead of propperly fleshing them out, but alas.



Did also some work on the banner.



Also no one any idea?

That group shot is awesome, all those cultists going to war!

As for how to play them in a narrative game I think it should be up to the game master in the end. Personally though I think the unending tide of cultists is a good idea. If your opponent has ways of shooting your army off the table in 2 turns it does not make for a very fun game at all. I would make sure that if you use that rule set that if your unit is less than 25% strength you have the option to pick it up and have a fresh unit come in.

My 2 Cents.

We don't really have a GM, we mostly make up short campaigns discuss some scenarios and depending on what happens x or y scenario shows up.

AS for the cultists, well they aren0t really cultists, but Militia (meaning that they start out worse but can bulk buy upgrades, cost 3 pts aswell, and since they specifically asked i'd use IA13 again the case is pretty clear on when i 'd get to recycle, btw, have you ever seen that book?


Also just to clarify, the 5 20 man blobs and the 30 man, in the middle of the pic count as 2 troop choices , in total estimate that i can recycle about 2.3 squads of these.
And yes this is a vanguard detachment, not even a Battalion

Fraid I have not seen that book. Sorry about calling them Cultists, old habits die hard.

So here, is the next HQ for my Cursed warband.
A jumppack sniperlord, for maximum ghostly shenanigans.

Kitbashed ofc.
He will also get a bunch of fellows with jetpacks.

Well, raptors of the bucket list.
Slightly modified.




The New Jumppack sniperlord.

And here the raptors in their full beauty, probably, i am still in love with the scheme for them.
I also really love the capability of the army, due to beeing AL and having massive movement shenanigans and -1 to hit makes for a really ghostly experience.










Thoughts on the fellows?

Ghostly Marines are a great idea! The only suggestion I’d have is to either make their red eyes glow or have definitive boundary like a nuln oil wash then bring the centre back to the original colour

They are like they should be imo
I have a whole army of them, somewhere some pages back. The irregular orrange is there willingly, since well they are not real, well kinda sorta
Probably need to do another group shot with them at some point.

Cool, I’ll have to look back and check them out!

That ghost effect looks great on those raptors.

No worries, today i will unite them with their fellow creepy friends.
Will post a picture of them united.

I really want to make more of them, I'd also expect the warp talons to look amazing that way.
