All is red!

I participated in three tournaments using my latest army list, and I'm very pleased seeing how it performs.

Very important part of my tactics is summoning. It makes the whole army more flexible, and every time I summon a daemon or unit of daemons I have to make a decision based on current situation on the battlefield.

Usually the most popular daemons were Pink Horrors, Daemonettes, Seekers, Screamers and Plague Drones, but now, when Gladius and Lion's Blade armies start to become so popular, I'll need more units of Bloodletters and Bloodcrushers.

I bought a box of Crushers, and dug out a box of Letters I had, and began assembling them, starting with smaller ones:

The work area is prepared to recieve all the bloodthirsty daemons.

All Bloodletter parts are cut from frames, mold lines are removed, and I just begin to glue them together.

Letties primed white. I left heads and sword arms separately, to make painting easier.

Skin is done, with two layers of paint, dark red and orange, applied using airbrush.

Sword arms are masked out with masking tape, so I can paint the blades without spoiling the effect on the arm. I've painted hands and feet with black, creating smooth transition from black to red using airbrush.

That's it for today, I hope I'll finish them tomorrow.

and... MORE DAEMONS!

Guys, really... I got into painting my daemons horde. I felt a bit bad about them, cause they've been waiting to get painted for quite some time, during that months winning me so many games... They deserve to be painted!

You already know this guy:

His base is finally done, so he's finished.

Yesterday I got yet another box of Pink Horrors (you never have enough of those with summoning army), put them together without even leaving the store, and started painting today:

That's of course a WiP picture, main colours are done, I have to paint the details, like eyes, claws, teeth, tounges and jewelery, and finish the bases of course. Hopefully tomorrow they'll be done.

More daemons!

Yesterday I've mentioned that I'll have to paint all my daemons. That's quite a lot of models, ~60, from Horrors to Keeper of Secrets.

Today I started painting one of my favourite units in daemonic army, Great Unclean One. I'm not a huge fan of the GW model, so I used another miniature instead. I do that quite often, and in this case I used baby Cthulhu model from SpellCrow.

Currently it looks like this, model is finished, I just have to finish the base, which I cannot do right now, as the texture paint I've put between the stones needs some time to dry. Tomorrow I'll drybrush the stones, paint the bottom of the water that will be on the base, weather the steel platform, and finally add some water flowing through pipes on the base surface.

Hope you like the model, tomorrow I'm going to paint some other daemons, maybe Keeper of Secrets, maybe some Horrors or Daemonettes, or maybe some more Screamers? Who knows, after all, my chaotic nature may pull me in many directions. Cheers!

Deamons strike back!

Hi there!

The night before the Wasteland I came up with an idea of an army slightly different than my usual one. Of course, it will contan some kind of deathstar, but very strange one.

Main unit is built around three Thunderfire Cannons, with whole Librarius Conclave with Tigurius, and one another Librarian with the Eye artifact from new White Scars. Whole unit is placed on Landing Pad, for 4+ inv. That gives me quite a lot summoning (three spells that go off on 2+ with re-rolls), and in shooting phase - 12 small blasts with S:6, rending and ignore cover.

Then there is Knight Warden, working as a bodyguard for my deathstar, protecting it from bike/wolf combat stars.

That's it for semi-loyalist part of the army. Pure Chaos part is based on two allied detachment, Crimson slaugher with Sorcerer, Cultists and Heldrake, and Daemons one, with Blue Scribes and two units of Horrors.

Whole army spams daemons like crazy, and shoots with quite a lot firepower.

That required me to bring some of my daemons back home, and start painting them (finally!).

First came the screamers, which look like this:

Tomorrow I'm going to test this army against new Tau army, we'll see what it can do :)

Wasteland

Few hours ago I came back from Wateland Challenger in Płock. The tournament's name is pretty acurate, I'm totally wasted (in a good way!).

After four battles I ended up 17'th, which ain't good at all... I'll have to play loads of battle tests (I mean LOADS) before next season.

For today - pics from the tournament :) Enjoy.

Bloodshroud DONE!

And so it is. Bloodshroud, the only landspeeder that covers whole battlefield with the mist made of blood, is finally done. Enjoy :)

And the close-up on the altar:

Of course I'm going to bring that nasty thing to tomorrow's tournament. Wish me luck!

Bloodshroud Update

Bloodshroud is almost ready!

Of course I'd messed some things up, I'm still learning how to use the airbrush. Anyway, the machine looks as it is, all I need to do is to finish the statue that will stand on top. Hopefully I'll finish that today, cause tomorrow I'm going to play on the tournament that will prepare us for next weekend's challenger in Płock.

I'm going to use the same rooster, to gain more experience playing this army.
