Daemon Prince of Khorne WIP

My girl had a rough night at work last night....so.....I built her a Khornate Daemon Prince to lift her spirits. It's the little things like berserk, daemonic entities from the Warp that count. Somebody's gotta lead her army until we get some Thirsters' for her!

I had this guy in my storage for the longest time. I felt he needed help, as the old model just didn't have the "ooomf" he once had. Now that the new Bloodthirster has been released, his size works great for a Daemon Prince. I added on a little bling to him to spruce him up and switched out his weapons for two Axes of Khorne. Over the top, yes...but isn't that the Blood God's way?

My work here is done.

A New Year!

A new year is here. With that, thousands of hobbyists dust off the armies on the shelf and make resolutions about getting it painted, going to tournaments, building new lists, starting a podcast, etc.

So I will too!

So first off, it's model updates. I needed to get warmed up and chose a lonely metal Plaguebearer to paint. Easy enough, and now he can count as a Herald in my Nurgle army.

I got tired of hearing the incessant chanting coming from my Beasts of Nurgle and started on them next. Got one close to being finished. These are harder to paint IMO. I'm not sure if I'll ever run them on the board but at least it's given me a good go with some paint.

So now some resolutions for this year. Most exciting for me is that my girlfriend wants to start an army! We used to play Warhammer Fantasy all the time back in the day as friends so she's got cred. I love that she has chosen the berserk hordes of Khorne as her force (this is SO her). I have a lot of  Khorne models already so getting her an up and running Daemonkin army shouldn't take too long. Just gotta invest in some Bloodthirsters for that cutie.

To get playing more, I gotta have a table. I was waiting for my landlord to clear some space in a loft here but it never happened so my plan is to build another one for my apartment. I'll keep it to 6X4 so it's easier to manage and store. I  will get on building it this week, as I'm have serious withdrawals from lack of playing on a regular basis. It makes me sad.

So, work on Nurgle army, help gf build Daemonkin force, build table (and paint my damn terrain finally), updater blog more, and have fun doing it. Here's to a productive 2016!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween, or Hallowe'en (/ˌhæləˈwiːn, -oʊˈiːn, ˌhɑːl-/; a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day.

Also, boobs.

Plaguebearer progress

It was time to stop buildin', and start paintin', so I grabbed all my Plaguebeaers that had previously been built for my Fantasy army, and got to work over a rainy weekend.


These guys are really easy to paint up, and a lot of fun too; especially once you get into painting the rotten parts like the sores and guts. GW washes really go a long way here.

I added the usual gloss varnish to the sticky parts and will probably add a few more layers once they're dry. The weapons were just some Typhus Corrosion followed by a drybrush of orange to make them look rusted up.

The older metal models will be used as Plagueridden, Icon, or Instrument bearers. Still have some details to paint up on them and to finish the bases, but almost done!

Chaos Cultists Part II

Made the second unit of Nurgle Cultists. More of the same really, but had to really scrounge deep into the bitz to get them made. You might even see some Catachan legs in there!

 'Snack for later...."

I also made some stubber guns for them out of some Cadian and terrain bitz. These guys look like they are using captured Imperial weaponry, and have re-calibured them to shoot what they have, including Bleeder or Expander rounds. Nasty!

Beasts of Nurgle

Nothing too exciting today, just re-based and did a few adjustments to some counts as Beasts of Nurgle.

I don't know how well they'll do on the tabletop, but they look good! Forgeworld just continues to pump out amazing stuff.

Champion of Nurgle

After seeing the great work Adam Wier did on his Death Guard Terminator conversion over at Between the Bolter and Me, I was inspired to work on a Nurgle Champion from the Glottkin kit I still had leftover on the sprue. I figured he'd make a good base for a massive Nurgle dude.

The body translates to 40k fairly well, at least for a follower of Nurgle. The head is from the Chaos Warshrine kit, axe from the Maggoth Lord, and power fist from...I have no idea anymore.

This guy is either pointing up toward something he wants dead, or belting out a song of Nurgly praise, much like Dynamo from Running Man.

Also got some more Nurgling bases done!
