Iron Painter: Daemons

This coming weekend the battle bunker is holding an Iron Painter weekend. Basically the bunker will be open all day and night for 24 hours. Hobbyist are encouraged to take part in a 24 hour paint-a-thon! The range of what you build and paint can range between 500 to 2K points, with a minimum of models for each 500 point range. At the end of this event the best armies will be judged to see who stands above the rest. This won't be my first IP, but I'm hoping this will be my best one yet. I will be taking part in the 1K points range with 37 models, and my army of choice this time....DAEMONS!!!

A recent addition to my chaos forces, I have slowly been building up my daemon forces over the last few months. With a large number of Plague Bearers and Furies now finished I am hoping to possibly build up to a 2K daemon force in the near future and add another force for chaos to my roster.

Here is what I will be bringing along this time.....

HQ 1
Greater Daemon of Nurgle

HQ 2
Masque

Troop 1
10 Bloodletters w/Instrument

Troop 2
10 Daemonettes w/Instrument

FA 1
14 Flesh Hounds

Heavy 1
Daemon Prince

Total Points: 1065
Total Model Count: 37





Wish me luck and see you on the other side......Enjoy! ;)

Cyclops Demo Team Conversion for LotD

One of the first units I learned to respect back when I played in an escalation league with an Elysian Droptroop army was the Cyclops demo tank. This little monster packs a nasty surprise with no scatter. It was an effective anti armor force when I used it in the Elysian’s, and I’ve converted one for the LotD. This one is made using a plastic epic landraider and a few bits of plasticard. Basically a remote controlled RC bomb, the operator is a renegade comm. Trooper with a laspistol, although now they are armed with a lasgun, the model still works for the controller.

Ratlings for the LotD (Part 1)

Thanks to a small find at the last yard sale at the battle bunker I got a blister of Chaos Squats. These guys come with their own cult mutation from each chaos power. So I thought why not work them into my legion army as counts as ratlings. They are short and give them a sniper rifle and they are good to go. So I’ve begun the process of converting these guys into a sniper unit for my LotD forces. With 6 models to work with, I have enough to make a decent size squad of snipers that can make any unit have a bad day. I have begun building some of them and giving them arms, as I finish the painting on some of them, I will give them their weapons and other arms. I think this will make for a neat unit that will add more chaos character to the army!

Nurgle Renegade Sentinel (Part 1)

Sentinels are useful to guard armies for many different roles. This time I am using it to support my Plague Marines when they assault out of the rhinos I plan for the army. Armed with a heavy flamer the sentinel will escort along the rhinos and light up any enemy it runs into. I going to use the 2nd gen sentinel aka “Jeep Sentinels” for this army. Here is the basic model built and ready to be armed, I gave it a bit of a grime look with the dirty washed camo green, and a few rust spots. Now to figure out how to best mount the heavy flamer…..







Enjoy! :)

1st Nurgle Renegade Platoon (Part 1)

This past weekend I began the process of building the new Servants of Decay army. The theme will be a mercenary army working with the Grey Death Legion. A force of renegades to add more decay to my nurgle forces and nurgle is just always so much fun to build up too. Right now I’m just building up my basic line platoons for the army along with the only armor at the moment a lone sentinel. I’m testing a scheme for the army with this first platoon and the sentinel. A dirty and grimy camo green with dirty codex grey pants. Thanks to the new GW washes this is an easy enough job. I’ve been wanting to use my large surplus of old guard and imperial army models for a while now, but never had a worthy idea to use them in. They now have a new home as mercenaries, although I ‘m still working on the name of the army. With the random leadership of the army I think this will make the force a good theme and fun gaming force.

Alpha Platoon: LotD

Alpha Platoon is the first troop choice of my Legion of the Dragon forces. Armed with Autoguns, Flamers and Heavy Bolters the platoon is a regular line platoon. The Command squad is a full melta unit built for anti armor and support. The Platoon is now fully battle ready. When I use the Al’Rahem special character this platoon will inherit the heavy weapon squads from Zeta Platoon , usually 2 lascannon squads that need to be on the battle line and not outflanking.

Anarchy's Heart Motor Pool (Part 3)

Another small update in the Motor Pool today. This time on the Predator conversion. Not a whole lot is going on right now, since I am trying to get the Rhinos done before I tackle this monster. I little bit of Necron Abyss base coat has been applied. Just thought I would share some pics.





Enjoy! :)

Greater Daemon of Nurgle (Part 1)

Along with my recently finished Plague Bearers, I picked up this goodie. A metal Greater Daemon of Nurgle. After finishing my lesser daemons, I began the process of adding this awesome model to the forces of the Grey Death Legion. I've used my Daemon Prince as a Greater Daemon before and its a blast to use and the enemy run for the hills. Now its time to get a proper model for use as a Greater Daemon. While the ForgeWorld one is awesome looking, I wasn't going to pay for one yet, but this guy fills the gap real well. Now that the assembly part is completed, its time to paint!


Big nasty slimy blade!


Behold his slime trail....this is the end....

Enjoy! :)

Anarchy's Heart Motor Pool (Part 2)

A small update on my Alpha Legion transports. It's been a while and they have stat around long enough waiting for some paint work. I have given them a nice coating of necron abyss, and have begun work on the legion scheme. Last weekend I took one of the transports and finished it completely to get a good view of the finished product. I still want to put some transfers on the tank to add more to it then just the scales and blue.


The side of the finished tank, I washed some of the silver parts like the smoke stacks and the wear on the ramp to show rust and burnt metal.


The other two tanks undergoing painting, slowly but surly getting there...

Enjoy! :)

Servants of Decay: 2K Renegade List

So recently I have been giving the Renegade and Heretics forge world army list a look over. When the first list came out in Imperial Armour 5 I was not impressed with it, and that list used the older edition of IG for its parent list. While I liked the idea of a renegade list, I chose to build mine based on the IG Codex, which leads to my current Legion of the Dragon, Alpha Legion themed infantry army. This new look into the R&H list is with the most current version "Servants of Decay" a nurgle themed list. Even though it still has that nasty leadership handicap, I like this list and the options it comes with. It's another cross between the Lost and the Damned and IG armylist with a bit of a twist. This list gives me an excuse to play with another FW armylist and also to theme an infantry force for my current Death Guard army to join forces with. So I drew up a 2K list using the R&H: Servants of Decay list found in IAV8.

The combination of Plague Marines and Infantry should prove to be a fun army to try and master. 30 PMs is no laughing matter, and the heavy weapon heavy infantry should provide me with support to push the marines closer to any enemy for an assault. The theme of the army will be mercenary troops. I still don't have a name for the army. So any thoughts?
