Wargaming Workshop

My WIP versions of the Firelords and Hellhounds promoted some comments, so here are the final versions. As suggested, I went with red for the Firelord “power cells” (or whatever the things on the wings are). The Hellhound fuel tanks were repositioned as well.

My first challenge for the TacComs “Tale of Epic Gamers” event is coming to an end. It motivated me to paint some a Chaos force coming in at just under 29,000 points and covering five gods as well as all variant lists. That’s 681 models/bases. I am now starting at the last 4 models and most are in semi-completed state. I hope to have everything wrapped up this month.

So the question now is of course what army to do next? I am tempted by various larger scale projects but would still very much like to complete another 6mm force as well. The options for the latter are:

Adeptus Mechanicus/Knights/Titans (~150 models, 14k points)

Eldar (~230 models, 12k points)

Tyranids (~230 models, 13k points)

Squats (~180 models, ~10k points)

All four options are assembled and based. The last option are Necrons which are still in progress of being sourced. Probably not the best choice until I have all the models together. Last time I made the decision by vote, so here we go again.

I am a bit late due to travel, but here is the summary for April. Another month has passed on the finish line is in sight. I completed a total of 2337.5 points. All Undivided (Iron), Khorne and Slaneesh models for the Lost and the Damned are now completed. Nurgle is missing only a single model (a Banelord), while Tzeentch is a mere 4 models away from the finish line (though big ones: Banelord, Feral Titan, Magnus the Red, Lord of Change). There are a few more Chaos Marines shipping across the ocean but those will get done fairly quickly when they arrive.

1 Slaneesh Questor – 275 points

2 Slaneesh Subjugators – 450 points

6 Slaneesh Knights – 412.5 points

6 Slaneesh Chimeras – 150 points

3 Slaneesh Hellhounds – 150 points

2 Tzeentch Firelords – 300 points

6 Tzeentch Doomwings – 300 points

1 Khorne Feral Titan – 300 points

A mighty war engine of the Blood God! The Feral Titan is kit-bashed from an old 40k Blood Slaughterer, a Warhammer Juggernaught and some Ork Gargant and Stompa parts (and Green Stuff). This is the last model for the Lost and the Damned Khorne contingent! Only Nurgle (one Banelord) and Tzeentch (a Lord of Change, Magnus the Red, Banelord and Feral Titan) remains before the whole Lost and the Damned horde is completed.

The final Slaneesh models are completed. This makes Slaneesh the second fully finished Chaos army in my collection (after Iron Warriors). Khorne and Nurgle are only a single model short though (a Feral and Warlord Titan respectively). The Slaneesh models are kit-bashed Chimeras for one of the Covens as well as some Hellhounds for close range support.

And the smaller cousins are done too: 6 Slaneesh Knights.

Completion of the Tzeentchian air force. At least until I figure out a colour scheme for the Firelord engines.

I am mostly done with the Tzeentchian air force but need some input on painting choices. Below are the wip Firelords. I need a colour choice for the central “engine” area on top of the wing (the ripped surface). For the Slaneesh knights I used Scorpion Green followed by Thraka Green washes to create a green “power coil” look. The alternative for Tzeentch might be yellow with a red wash to create an orange power coil (to tie in with the yellow/orange accents of the rest of the Tzeentch force). Any suggestions?

My washes have finally arrived so I am on the final sprint to finish up the last Lost and the Damned models. Easter seems an appropriate time to paint Slaneesh and Tzeentch (well, at least the colours are dazzling). Below are the Slaneesh Scout Titans: two Subjugators and a Questor.
