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.
Behold! Varrolath, Bloodthirster of the Eighth Host, carrying a mighty Axe of Khorne and a Lash of Khorne.
 I have had this model for about eighteen years, and it was 
originally painted, not too badly, in a black and white scheme. I have 
updated the colour scheme and added a new lash to fit in with my modern 
bloodthirsters and it now stands proudly alongside them as part of the 
daemonic legions of Khorne.
 
 Also shown are my Chosen, who have been rebased onto 32mm bases. 
They were just a bit too big for 25mm, and the icon bearer kept falling 
over! They do look at home on the larger bases, I think.
 Next, I am painting a Dreadclaw for this squad.
In the middle of painting up my dreadclaw, I decided I wanted to do some
 more building and converting, and while making some cultists, I decided
 to resurrect a long-held ambition, which is to build a renegades and 
heretics army.
 I've been starting to feel that The Bloodstorm is going in too many
 directions at once, and so removing some models and putting them in a 
renegades and heretics detachment makes sense.
 This will leave the actual Bloodstorm force, led by Krev Grazl, 
with a reliance on brute strength, daemons and beasts. Then there is 
Warpsmith Prostřednik's detachment, with its reliance on machinery. 
Finally, the renegades detachment is a group of Imperial Guard and other
 humans who have see Khorne as the God of Strength and, seeing the flesh
 as weak, convert their bodies to machinery in order to be stronger to 
carry out the Blood God's endless slaughter.
 
 Here's a provisional army list based on the models I have available:
 The infantry squads are 10 models minimum, but I don't my opponents
 will mind if I field 8 instead but pay for the cost of 10. We must 
appease the Blood God!
 
 --HQ--
 
 Command Squad - TOTAL: 202 pts =  45 + power weapon (10) + bolt 
pistol (2), covenant of Khorne (10) + Heretek Magus (30) + banner of 
hate (10) + 3 extra disciples (30) + command net vox (5) + chimera 
w/dozer blade (60)
 
 --Troops--
 
 Infantry Platoon
 Infantry squad - TOTAL: 50 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5) + flamer (5)
 Infantry squad - TOTAL: 45 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5)
 Infantry squad - TOTAL: 45 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5)
 
 --Heavy Support--
 
 Hydra - TOTAL: 75pts = 60 + dozer blade (5), militia training (10)
 
 Leman Russ Squadron
 1X PUNISHER (130 + heavy bolters 20) = 150
 1X BATTLE TANK (140) = 140
 1X DEMOLISHER (160 + plasma cannons 30 + lascannon 10) = 200
 
 Grand Total: 897 pts 
Sparks crackle through the hull of the outer corridor of the cruiser. 
Space marines crouch in readiness, bolters aimed. A rectangle cut 
appears as a chainblade bursts through the plasteel. The material 
buckles and bends, and with a roar, a red-armoured figure thrusts its 
massive bulk through the gap. Aspiring champion Válečný deflects bolter 
fire with his shield-cum bolt pistol, the bolts embedding themselves in a
 gold icon of Khorne embossed on his shield. He is followed by seven 
berzerkers, each wielding chain-halberds that hum with anticipation. 
They spill into the corridor with the aim of sowing death among the 
adeptus astartes...
Another daemon engine, quietly gathering a pile of skulls for the Skull Throne...
