OMG! It's the orky life for me!

Helloooo Orktober!
When you're excited about something you just have to blog about it. Well, I'm excited about what I got this Orktober. Massive trade of AoS minis for Oldhammer minis. With this treasure trove I can now create 17 out of the 20 types of Freebooterz units.

Now I just need 3 runtbot bomb launchers.

More Beastmen for the Crows

A quick update. Back when I was painting more and I had both my Nurgle army and Genestealer Cult in the works I had a hard decision to make. "Do I use my Bob Olley beastmen for my Fantasy Nurgle army or my Nurgle Genestealer Cult?" At the time I went for the Cult since it was big enough to actually start playing and my Nurgle army was far from finished. Well, now that the new Genestealer Cults codex is coming out there probably won't be an entry for "beastmen" in it so I've decided to rebase them for my Nurgle army.

Here is the seven beastmen unit in its movement tray. I'll be creating a filter tile to make the unit look not so small. It will still be a 7 man unit, but it will look better in the tray. Unfortunately I've run out of shield so I'll have to work on making some, or something. I'll be painting them till I figure out what to do about the shields.

More men for the Crows

I was rooting through my Oldhammer minis again looking for something to paint and discovered that I still have a few RoC champions to paint as well as a few beastmen. Originally the beastmen were for my genestealer cult, but now that there are current rules for genestealer cults I'll probably rebase them and use them in my Nurgle warband. So the Brotherhood of the Crow grows larger. I'll post some pictures once I get a few done. Also I'll try to write some more of the Baron's story, if you enjoy story so far.

Apology for my absence

I apologize to those of you who follow me for my absence. My computer broke and I lost everything on it. I'm only able to write this through my phone. I'm not sure when be getting a new computer so posts will be sparce till then. I may post a few pictures of any new models I paint, but they will be taken with phone.

Salamanders Legion part 6

I have finished my conversion of Narik Dreygur, the Iron Warrior delgatus that defected to the Salamanders commander Cassian Dracos on the Forge World of Xana. I painted him as a Blackshield to represent him turning his back on the Iron Warriors for his abandonment and betrayal. I've decided to call his warband the Chain Breakers to represent their goal of destroying as many of the Alpha Legion as they can, the chain being one of the Alpha Legions predominant icons. I will be painting a unit of ten veteran Iron Warriors in the same color scheme and using the shattered chain as their pauldron symbol instead of the Iron Warriors iron skull.

Salamanders Legion part 5

Cassian Dracos the first Commander of the XVIII Legion. Entombed in a dreadnought built by the hands of Vulkan himself to honor the veteran commanders accomplishments.

I decided to paint Dracos different from the other dreadnoughts. I decided black was an appropriate color for a couple of reasons. First is that it helps him stand out in a sea of green. Another reason is that many Legions, including the Salamanders, associate the color black with veteran status. A third reason is that I will be using him as both Cassian Dracos and Cassian Dracos Reborn and I felt that Dracos Reborn was a very dark and sinister character that black was appropriate for.  I will be adding Narik Dreygur to my army as well. Since I've found it difficult getting hold of his model for less than $50 I decided to convert a model to represent him. It wasn't difficult and he is done except for his base. So I'll post my pictures of him next, once he is completely done.

Salamanders Legion part 4

Finally another post. Just finished my behemoth of a Leviathan dreadnought. Such a great model and terrifying in combat. My air compressor has been broken for a while and I just fixed it so, hopefully, my Salamanders will be done soon. I've got all the airbrush work done on them and I just need to do all the detail.
