Be'lakor - Demon Prince

Be'lakor - bought god knows how many years ago. 15? More? I've no idea. Basically whenever the model got releassed, I bought it, then undercoated it and it sat there being unused ever since. Partly as I was undecided on whether to go for red skin or something else, as I was in my KHORNE ONLY phase at that time.

Whilst digging around as in a chaos mood to paint, thought "ah, this'll do" and a nice quick paint job which really came out well. One of those where the paint was loving it. Probably a 40 mins job from prime to complete.

Iron Warrior Terminators

More Iron Warriors, Terminators this time. Went for HH era ones and they look BADASS.

Whether they prove to be so on the tabletop........lets see.

Khorne Warlord

Obrist Weil, former Imperial general. Known as a masterful strategist and taking immense pride in his campaigns and their military execution. During the Great War Against Chaos, tasked with a large force during the march North, but fell to Khorne and turned on his allies during the Coachorses campaigns.  Was forced into a fighting retreat when the Chaotic forces were deleted and disappeared into the wastes.  

The reappearance of this man in the Far Northern Imperial borders is an ill omen.

My old Khorne general, from back in the days when my chaotic forces rampaged around the club (Clapham Wargamers) and Khorne was mighty pleased with our tally. Quick (20 mins) repaint after sporting his old paint job for many many years.

Cam out pretty damned tasty, although I don't have a chaos army any more. Couldn't let my boy go though.

Heres a pic alongside Edmvnd Khelle:

Thousand Sons Sorcerer

Edmund Khelle, Thousand Sons Exile. 

Last Sighting: No Records. 

Known Associates: No Records. 

Threat Level: No Records.

Decided to make a Thousand Sons warband to use in this game thats coming up. 

Well...........was coming up before Father Nurgle turned his attentions to this particular corner of town.

So, had a rough plan for this conversion about a year ago, maybe 18 months, but never really acted on it other than thinking a basic sketch outline of how the conversion would go together. 

Got the parts, acted on it, undercoated. That evening, hammered some paint on and there we go, one new Sorcerer. He's a big boy too, thats a 40mm base.

I honestly thought I'd cocked up the painting at the beginning of this one, but I'm rather happy with how it came out, all things considered.

Adeptus Titanicus Imperial Knights

AT Imperial/Rebel Knights. Not bad little minis. Dead easy to paint, but a shame these pics came out so dark. No bother. Not sure I'd want to paint a 40K scale one, but these chaps are rather nice and easy.

That puts me at two Warlords, 6 Knights = the contents of the Grand Master Box fully painted. Scenery is done too, but can't be arsed photographing that.

Iron Warriors

The Iron Warriors. "Ungrateful bastards, that Imperium, ungrateful bastards!" *digging a trench* Thats the IW background in a sentence, isn't it? Always been one of my favourite chaos legions, from reading the yellow book back in the day and the descriptions of them in there.

SO, 25 years later, 26 years after my first proper 40K army (my Wolves, a whole post in themselves, that army, and why I'm out of love with them/an example of how literalism ruins things) and my first proper 40K activity (those Death Guard last year were more a painting exercise that had been kicking around since the mid 90s and taken a long time to get out) in 7-8 years and we've got some new Iron Warriors on the scene :)

These are all in the MKIV armour, a nostalgia throwback in itself, and painted pretty quickly. The characters are FW resin ones, as I was feeling flush with the CASH. Rough plan is to expand this warband slightly, but probably not a full army, but lets see how that goes. At least they've all been painted.
