Ok, so after the onset of christmas and the increase in expendable income provided to a teenager afterwards, i have decided to start my latest 40k army, having finished my tyranids a few months ago. like most of my armies, i wrote a list before i bought the models, meaning i know exactly what i want and have time to mull over my choices before i build anything.

here i decided to go for the homunculus coven approach, so my army will include: urien, a homunculus, a big unit of grotesques, 3 units of wracks for the troops, 3 units of scourges for fast moving tank and infantry busting, two chronos engines to churn out pain tokens like their lives depend on it (they actually do), and a voidraven bomber to crack those particularly tough nuts.

so today i popped down to the local GW and picked myself up a big box of goodies, well several actually...



and i set to work building the first of my two parasite engines, so i figured, given the nature f this blog, i would show you the result. this one is fairly standard, as i quite like the pose it recommends in the box, but i have some subtle changes planned for the second, as no two creations should be the same in my eyes










sorry for the bad pictures, couldn't find my camera so i had to use my phone

built myself a homunculus and some wracks







looks like he wants a hug

the wracks look a little less friendly though























i'm still waiting to pick up another box of wracks to build the final unit

Great start, your finecast looks quite nice from here. Any problems with them?

pretty much none, a few problems with the whip in the second box of wracks. but as i'm not using it, i consider it a perfect box. i have only one box of finecast left to buy, and i've had no problems so far, so i'll probably get some metal terminators or something in the last box

Ah, the joys of having an expendable income. Seeing this reminds me that I'd better make the most of it.

Also, have you decided on a paint scheme yet? I can't wait to see what you do with them.

the paint scheme is best displayed on my voidraven bomber, it has it's own folder in my gallery

finished the scourges, just working on the last box of wracks now
