Flames of War Bunkers

I am slowly chipping away at a small mountain of Flames of War 15mm resin cast pieces from different manufacturers. I acquired all that stuff in a burst of enthusiasm and now it’s sluggishly getting done. This one is a small single piece bunker. I am still trying to figure out how to do decent aged concret. This technique uses a lot of streaking whereas I have previously just drybrushed (older example of drybrushed bunker below).

Slaneesh Group Shot

The Slaneesh army is noticably smaller than the Khorne, Nurgle and Iron Warrior monstrocities. It also still needs a fair bit of work. The open space in the top left is for a few more inbound Noise Marines to allow me to find a decided Emperor’s Children force. The top right is the corner of shame where all the base coated stuff sits (minus a Questor Scout Titan that is still in the spray booth.

Left column, front to back: Retinue with Rhinos and Daemon Prince, Noise Marines with Rhinos and Havocs with Rhinos

Middle left column, front to back: Fire Support squad, Daemonettes, Mounted Daemonettes

Middle right column, front to back: Keeper of Secrets, Sentinels (the Eldar Wraithlord models), Hell Hound tanks

Right column, front to back: Coven with (missing) Altar, Coven with Chimeras, Knights and Subjugator Scout Titans (an unpictured Questor Scout Titan)

Total of 2235 points for the Lost and the Damned variant and 1850 for the Marines (Black Legion list). The Emperor’s Children fan list gets to use stuff from across the tray so that probably comes in a 3000 points or more.

I also took a quick snap of thier bigger brothers: My Warhammer 40k Emperor’s Children force. Long long out of date with the current edition.

Altar of Slaneesh

The mighty Altar of Slaneesh is ready to lead the hordes of the pleasure seekers. More info on the conversion here.

Khorne Feral Titan WIP

I am slowly converting away on the Khorne Feral Titan. The wheel base is from a very old 40k Khorne Blood Slaughter. The arms are from the same model (power fist) and a Epic Ork Gargant (chain saw). The head is a resin cast of I think an old Juggernaught of Khorne from 40k. Right now everything is just pinned together and crudely green stuffed for the torso “volume”. Adding the rest will be a major challenge for my minimal green stuff sculpting skills.

Nurgle Plague Zombie Test

Next on my painting list are 20 Plague Zombies. The models are from the Exodus Wars range. Any comments on the colour scheme?

Nurgle Group Shot

Another tray close to completion. Larger picture available if you click on the image. There is a bit of room left to add the Plague Tower and Contagion Engines. Unlike the Iron Warrior and Khorne tray this one might even have some spare room left over at the end.

Left column, front to back: Retinue with Rhinos, Plague Marines with Rhinos, Deathwheel and Decimator

Middle column, front to back: Terminator and Great Unclean One, Mortarion, Dreadnoughts and Chaos Hounds (rats), Havocs with Rhinos and Plaguebearer, Spawns and Rough Rider, Armoured Company with Land Raiders and Blight Drones.

Right Column, front to back: Mutant Coven with Altar and Big Mutants, Mutant Coven with Big Mutants, Plague Zombies, Plague Titan

All total this comes to 3952 points for the Deathguard (Black Legion list) and 1570 points for the lesser minions (Lost and the Damned). This counts the Daemons and Titan with the Deathguard, so this is basically a 3000 points list either way. Makes a decent dedicated Deathguard list too.

Khorne Followers Group Shot

People seem to like the group shot so here is another one.

Mighty Khorne’s Minions on a tray. Click on the pic to embiggen (is that a word?). Those empty spots are for a few more inbound Berzerkers (on the left) and a bunch of Land Transporters on the right (still needing to be converted). On the left are the World Eater and on the right their lesser followers from the Lost and the Damned.

The World Eaters come in at 4380 points including the (shared) Daemon pool (Black Legion list) while the minions come in at 3075 points (Lost and the Damned list). Some combination of the two forces can also make a fairly large World Eater force based on their dedicated fan list.

Left column, front to back: Terminators, Berzerker, Retinue with Rhinos and Daemon Prince, Defiler and Armoured Company with Land Raiders.

Middle left column, front to back: Bloodthirster, Dreadnoughts, Chaos Hounds, Juggernaughts, Flesh Hounds, Bloodletter, Greater Brass Scorpions and Lord of Battle, various Daemon Engines and Cannons of Khorne.

Middle right column 2, front to back: Bikers, Objective, Blood Slaughterer and more Daemon Engines

Right Column, front to back: Mutan Coven with Altar and Big Mutants, Mutant Coven with Big Mutants and Hell Hounds, Mutant Coven with Big Mutants, and even more Daemon Engines

Khorne has also provided a larger scale force, so here is a quick shot of my Warhammer 40k World Eater army of many years ago (early 2000’s). I am still planning to paint that Land Raider and the last two Biker (who am I kidding…).

Iron Warrior Group Shot

Click on the image to get a bigger version. This is a quick snap (with flash) into the miniature cabinet where the Iron Warrior and Iron Cult tray is full the to the rim. The only missing models are two Hell Talon bombers and two objectives. And there is barely enough room for those…

On the left we have the Iron Warriors with

Left column, front to back: Bike Squadron, Obliterators, Havocs with Rhinos, Retinue and Armoured Company of Predators.

Middle column, front to back: Two Forelorn Hope squads with Rhinos, Decimator, Havocs with Rhinos, Retinue with Rhinos, Defilers, Deathwheel, Hell Talons and Hell Blades.

In between the columns are  three Dreadnoughts and another Decimators. The empty hole is for the Iron Warrior Objective (finished but still in the varnishing booth)

On the right is the rusty Iron Cult with

Left column, front to back: Coven with Altar, Armoured Company with Leman Russ, Objective, two Hydras and two Artillery Squadrons of Basilisks

Right column, front to back: Two more Covens, each with Fire Support element and some Demolishers.

The Iron Warriors come in a 4415 points (Black Legion list), the Iron Cult at 2160 points (Lost and the Damned list).
