Warning: I copied this post from my dakkadakka forum blog, and amalgamated several posts into one blog post. Each post is in ascending chronological order going down the page.

Not a painting update, but I thought you lot might like this picture from a battle this weekend.

I call it: "Are you sure we need to hold this objective, brother?"

Alternative title: "And they shall know no fear.. 99% of the time."

I really like painting big models! Daemon princes and greater daemons are a lot of fun, and they look so impressive on the battlefield (see pictures above!)

This is Baltanath, Bloodthirster of the Sixth Host.

Here's the full army so far: 

I have painted one of the Chosen marines, and I am looking for feedback on this colour scheme. I am thinking of painting the CSM detachment with slightly more steel than bone to represent the machine cult element, and as a way of distinguishing them from the KDK detachment. They are also going to have red base rims.

How does this look?

The Chosen of the Bloodstorm have arrived!
Led by Aspiring Champion Zvolený, the squad is formed from the mightiest champions of the Bloodstorm and is armed with 4 power weapons, a pair of lightning claws and a flamer.
The squad have received many gifts of Khorne, mutating their armour and bodies into baroque shapes. The squad hit hard and fast, dropping into battle in a Dreadclaw drop pod and charging into elite enemy units.
One of them carries an icon of Khorne that most would struggle to lift, and this serves as a summoning point for daemons of the Blood God.
Forever have they shed blood in the name of Khorne, and long may they continue to do so... 

So... I met up with taemu_touhi at Warhammer World to see how the Bloodstorm would fare against the imperial scum known as the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Much blood was spilled in the name of Khorne, but in the end, the planet and its precious deposits of adamantium were claimed by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Bloodstorm will be back to have their revenge...

Some of the highlights:

1. Warpsmith Prostrednik leads his daemon engines to war.
2. Skitaari rangers set up in a position to get a commanding view of the battlefield.
3. A mighty Imperial Knight of the strides at the head of the Adeptus Mechanicus force.
4. An ectoplasma cannon deals death from a distance.
5. The decimator Katastrofa is no match for a Knight.
6. But a Bloodthirster drops out of the sky and slices the Knight in half with its Great Axe of Khorne.
7. And goes on to wreak havoc in the imperial lines.
8. At the end of the battle, nought but a vindicator and this blessed rapier would be left of the Bloodstorm.
9. A last ditch attempt by the Bloodstorm to capture a chaos shrine would end in failure.
10. The Skitarii will not allow this treachery to come to pass.
11. One lone, mad berzerker attempts to cut his way through the mechanicus ranks, but ultimately falls to the superior weaponry of the techpriest.

It's certainly been a while since I posted some miniatures! I haven't really had the inspiration to paint, but then I've also been out in the sun, trying to enjoy it while it lasts.
So here's a gentle reintroduction to painting finishing off some flesh hounds.
They're not the best paintjobs I've ever done, but I think they look decent enough. 

I have finally painted up the possessed I hinted at in my last post!
Freaky and khornate enough? I tried to make good use of the muscly bodies of the skulltakers kit.

I haven't painted in a while, and my standard has slipped a bit. I think I'll do some more painting practice before tackling any centrepiece models...

EDIT: I haven't varnished them yet. They'll look better when I do...
