Random rabblings.

First off: A verrry late Happy New Year!!

After a short x-mas vacation I decided to post my work on my blog, but I have so much on my desk that I just continued painting instead. Finally, I managed to pull my thumb out from my Eye of Terror to bring you the results:

I've been trying out the Forge World weathering powders, and the results was to my satisfaction. I enjoyed working with the powders, and the result, that I just continued painting Blood Angels tanks.
I also built one of my drop pods. painting the parts separately was easier than painting the finished model, but putting it together when painted was difficult. Be warned!

I'm also preparing for the Apocalypse in 2 weeks! Sorting out rations and support to survive the weekend. I made a list in November/December sometime, and started painting what was unpainted. Then a couple of days ago I decided to re-write my list. Shit happens, but I got stuff painted.

 The Soul Grinder got icons of Khorne here and there, and I replaced its front legs with the big claws from the defiler set. The Warp Talon in front will act as a Chaos Lord leading the raptors.

Using some spare parts from my Forgefiend, I aim to rebuild my second Soul Grinder to resemble a Maulerfiend. My fiancé pointed out the the right hand looks like its supposed to hold something, so it stands between a weapon or a victim...

The bad plastic glue issue is still haunting me. I had complained about some Blood Angels being affected and I'm getting them replaced as well. I'm also finding several Chaos Marines affected, but I'm done complaining, and just try to repair them. It's a lot of work.

And right now I'm in a mood for painting Blood Angels, but I have vowed to finish the Chaos Marines (at least the ones for the Apocalypse) before I pick up the Blood Angels again. I've barely touched the Traitor Guard...

On another note, rumours tell of Daemons getting a new Codex and Armybook in february, meaning my Greater Daemons probably will get replaced by plastic ones (one can hope), and I will have to add whatever new stuff that's being released.

And that's it for this time. I'm occupied with training and work next week, but I hope I will be able to squeeze in a post someday.

Until next time!
Cheers!

From the Forge!

I went by the post office yesterday to pick up my package from Forge World, here's what I got:

Besides three packs of weathering powders, I also got a Death Guard Terminator conversion kit. These will fit in nicely with my other Death Guards.

With Typhus and the one I already got from a bits site, that makes the squad an even 7 (Yes, 7 is suddenly an even number).

And I also got myself a conversion kit for Noise Marines which I will equip with close combat weapons and mount in a Rhino. I will try to take advantage of the high initiative and make good use of the Champion's Doom Siren.

 And for you who remember the Iron Hands captain I converted a while ago, I made some modifications to the figure. I wasn't too happy with his equipment. A chainsword isn't something for a captain, so I gave him a Relic Blade, made out of a Blood Angels thunder hammer and the axe head from an Engineseer.

That's it for today, now I will try to get something painted.

Until next time!
Cheers!

Iron Hand spare captain

Had a lot of bits left after I worked on some Blood Angels, so I decided to make a Iron Hands captain.

Tried to max out the amount of bionics on the figure, and I think it turned out quite well. The legs are Forge World parts, while the torso and his left shoulder pad are from the Iron Hands conversion kit.

Too bad I won't be using this figure... But you never know!

Until next time!
Cheers!

Zarakynal - Daemon Lord of Slaanesh

Finished and photographed! Here are some pictures of Zarakynal, the Daemon Lord of Slaanesh from Forge World. Not too satisfied with the colour scheme, but I am satisfied with the paintjob, so it will have to suffice.

She/He/It is yet to prove itself in a game of Apocalypse, so It will be the first thing I add to the armylist the next time I play.













Until next time!

Cheers!!

Warp Invasion!

I was on my way to Games Workshop Oslo to play a game againts my friend Ludvig, and knowing he would be playing his new Imperial Fist army, I decided to go with Daemons, since I'm kind of tired of Marines VS Marines games.

I just wanted an army that looked cool, I didn't even expect to win, so I went for an all Khorne cohort (try saying that fast several times) with a Soul Grinder for support. This has to be the first time I wiped someone of the table with my Chaos Daemons. The game got me in a good mood, so I decided to dust of my old Daemons.



I got 3 new Bloodcrushers and started to modify my old ones. I will need a squad that's fully upgraded. The Soul Grinder will be replaced by a Blood Slaughterer from Forge World, for good measure ;)

Except for the new addition to my Daemons army, I will start a Defenders of Vraks army from Forge World. Instead of Chaos Renegades and Alpha Legion I will be using converted Cadians and Black Legion. The story behind this army wil be an Imperial Guard Army joining the Black Legion out of fear. That way you really get how evil the Chaos Marines really are!

When this army reaches around 2000 pts, I will add a Baneblade and some more Chaos Marines. Toss in some Daemons and I hope I will be able to field a truly impressive Apocalypse army (Yes, I'm all about Apocalypse...)!

So until next time, Cheers!!!
