Here's a link to it if you want to see my older toys, But the point of this blog is my New Misadventures: Updating my Tau for 6th and Starting a Fluffy Word Bearers army! Woohoo! I kinda... scrapped the Daemon list when 6th came out. >.>

So these are some of the toys I've been working on since.... 2011.

We have a Kitbash Ethereal( Aun'O K'ale Ko'vash)



We have a Cadre Fireblade kitbash (Shasn'el K'ale Kias Mont'yr Iur'Tae'Mont.) This guy was originally just a La'Kais kitbash I did after reading Fire Warrior last November, but I really like the Cadre Fireblade for some reason.










And this is the Word Bearers Dark Apostle Kitbash(using the chosen and Chaos Lord from DV) I've been working on. (Dark Apostle Athanasius)

Here is the cape, last week is the first pic and as of as of last night is the remaining pics.









And here is Athanasius' body.




Whelp, this is what I got so far. I'll be working on the Black Mace that the Dark Apostle will be holding hopefully this weekend, if not I will be hitting up the torso's details. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5866131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5866131.page GMT

I like what I see so far, always a fan of blues and that Tau blue armor looks pretty good. It's a bit out of focus, tho.

And they better get reinforcements, there's some freakin' giant ponies back there ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5869892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5869892.page GMT
Tonight when I start painting on the Mace, I should be able to fix everything and get back to where I was before I last stopped, photo wise.

Thanks for stopping in and commenting!

Here is Ethereal



Here is Dark Apostle



And them "Facing off"




Tomorrow I'll start work on the mace. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5872533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5872533.page GMT




I just don't know what to do. I'm thinking about painting the skulls white, then drybrushing various mixtures of white, gray, and black on the hitty parts of the Power Maul....But it's called the Black Mace.

I don't want to just leave it black... But it's The Black Mace. This has actually been troubling me all day. What do you guys think?

So I started some basic paint on it today.



I got distracted by pistols and Close Combat Cultists.

So for starters, I made a Pulse Pistol for the 2CCW Cultist



I trimmed down the barrel of a Pulse Rifle and snipped off the scope. I may have to trim down the stock to make it look more pistoly


I also trimmed the barrel off of an Auto gun to make an Autopistol.




And a friend gave me a ton of LotR models he bought back in 2003 and never painted. I clipped the hand off of one of the archers and clipped out the bow from that hand. I then clipped a Bayonet off of another cultist's Autogun, glued it to the hand to make it look like it was holding a knife, I then glued the hand to the Cultist who's autogun I turned into a Pistol.




I wanted to make it look like he was holding the blade icepick style and I think it turned out pretty good.

Tomorrow, I'll put more paint to the Black Mace and maybe work on some more Cultists.

I mostly worked on the Black Mace.



My plan here is to paint the edges black, and then drybrush the black towards the center, then paint the skulls white and drybrush the white towards the edges.

If it works exactly the way I'm thinking, it should look pretty sweet.

This is the black mace after attempting to drybrush it. I like it. Gonna hit it up with some Devlin Mud and glue it to the Dark Apostle tomorrow.



This is the Heavy Stubber Cultist. I cut up the Stubber, a Bolter, and a Boltpistol to make his Autopistol. His Weapon is from the VC skelly kit. I'm going to touch his weapons up with Epoxy Putty tomorrow evening after the glue is finished drying.



And here is the Cultist Champion. To make him WYSIWYG, I trimmed his shotgun into a Hand Cannon( Autopistol)

And worked on some more Cultists today.



Tomorrow I'll be working on the left handed cultists and prolly looking at priming them by the weekend

The Chaos Lord / DA looks pretty good! The Black Mace didn't lose any of it's "charm" by having a bit of color

Oh, and your pictures are much better now: much easier to see the details.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5892766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5892766.page GMT
My goal is to make 70 Autopistol/CCW Cultists only using my bits box and the GW Cultists when it's all said and done.

I may have to get creative with my definition of CCW towards the end, but it'll be fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5893270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541120/5893270.page GMT
Here's the one cultist I did.
