Everything has an end : Slaaneshchild's wrap up post !

 So everything has an end apparently, even the OWAC !

As I am planning to go on holidays soon, I do my last post as soon as I can. But first of all, the wrap-up picture, behold your dear grim reaper with his minions ! 

As you can see on the picture, my power is so strong that I can bend reality to my will ! Even the background is disturbed. Mouahah.

This year was pretty exciting, this minotaur warband was pretty fun to paint, I think I never felt too bored about it. They are not on the picture but I already have 9 minotaurs, so, as I painted 15 minotaurs this year, I can now make 4 units of 6 minotaurs each. Impressive, isn't ?

I also painted beastmen in a previous challenge, so I have now 2 units of "gors" and one unit of "bestigors" (remember the vicious snakemen ?), plus hounds, ungors, harpies, and other stuff. It's a big horde !

Here are so details, but you already know all of them : 

I also finished those standards I started 3 years ago. They are clearly oversized for the dark elves, but, why not ? They are led by Slaanesh and their kinky mind.

And, last but not least, I played today with my army of minotaurs, it was a pretty interesting game, versus Orcs and Goblins. The minions of Slaanesh have won !

Some pictures of the battle : 

the deploiement

here come the minions of the Dark Prince

the approach...

Chaaaaaaarge !!!! The clash of the armies

MOuahah they are weak !!

Gasp !! The dragon is flanking my beastmen !! 

Kill them all !!! 

Et voilà ! 

Next year I will be painting undead I think... OR an army of dark elves full of creatures and dragons, to illustrate the artworks of my childhood.

This Ocho was so great !! Can't wait for the next one ! See you on the battlefield !

Slaaneshchild.

Slaaneshchild's last month !

Hello everyone, for June I wanted something special. 

I already painted so many minotaurs, so I decided to paint a special unit to my army. A unit linked to my hero with the Crown of Sorcery... A unit of skeletons warriors !

The Crown of Sorcery allows you to become a necromancer level 3, but which necro would be serious without skeletons to summon ?

As I have the project of building an undead army, I collect some old Ral Partha/Grenadier/Metal Magic/ Citadel miniatures. Those miniatures are so characterful ! It is a pleasure to watch all the details.

The rule I imposed myself for building this undead army is to reject plastic miniatures. All my minions will be made of lead/metal.

So here comes the first unit. I think I have been inspired by Tom's unead for the color scheme. Red/Black.

As I had some extra-time, I also completed my last unit of minotaurs with 3 modern slaangors and 2 furies. As I had a unit of nine minotaurs (before the challenge) , now I can split them in two units of 6 ! which leads me to a total of 4 units of 6 minoaturs in this army !! 

So now this army is complete ! Next year I am struggling between painting undead or dark eves full of winged creatures...

Will see ! 

This month : 

2 furies : 30 pts

3 minotaurs with 2 hand weapons : 129 pts

25 skeletons with light armors and shields, standard and musician : 297 pts

Grand Total : 3157 pts

Slaaneshchild's leader month : the month of the beast !!

Hello everyone ! 

Every army needs a leader, so this is the leader month ! I decided to paint all my characters on the same month.

First of all, no minotaur army of Slaanesh would be complete without a mighty Keeper of Secret. I imagine them worshipping him like a god, seeing themselves as aspects of Slaanesh, they are the sacred cows after all ! 

So no more talk, here comes Pierr Pale Made, the Depraved. Of course, as a genuine greater daemon of Slaanesh, he has tons of worshippers, dancing for him, feeding him the best drugs, giving him massages, singing, and much more other things.

I loved the idea of a minotaur shaman. Of course it doesn't exist in the rules, but who cares ? I had this miniature of cloud giant casting a spell and I thought it would make a perfect start. I gave him horns, a flaming sword and... a crown of sorcery !!! This is why he can cast spells !! 

The crown of sorcery is an artefact making your hero a level 3 necromancer. So I wanted to keep using pale colors to underline its necromantic nature. All hail Kaltazar the Pale.

I am kind of proud of the result. He looks 100% stupid, brutal, and weird. I was thinking of making a retinue of skeletal minotaurs for him. I already have one or two. As I don't have money and time for the moment, I will keep this idea for later.

Then, finally, the warboss, I am not really happy with this miniature. Maybe it is because I was bored of painting this miniature, I think he has nothing special compared to the two others. 

He is Guturax the Favorite

 So who is YOUR favorite in this herd ? 

Next month, I'll try to make an altar of Slaanesh or a mini-diorama. Maybe... maybe Kaltazar could have risen some skeletal legion with is crown of sorcery... hummm an interesting setup ! Will see !

Points : 

Keeper of Secrets : 750 pts

Minotaur Lord : 380 pts

Minotaur Hero : 240 pts

Total for the month : 1350 pts

Grand total : 2860 pts

See you next month !

Slaaneshchild's beasty boys, rank and file month 4, April

Hello everyone ! We have seen last month some old Ral Partha miniatures and some Metal Magic beauties, let's continue this way for this month. Trying to mix as many range of miniatures in the same regiment as possible !

I started with my beastmen. I had some very old citadel miniatures, but also some others from other ranges like Cthulhu's Metal Magic (Dunwich Horror), Knighmare miniatures, and Grenadier Miniatures.

Once all fixed on the right base and all put side by side, they are all good to me :)

 

I also mixed miniatures that are technically not beastmen, like orcs, goblourd, and even 2 barbarians but I think they look cute all together, don't they ? 

Master !!! We are coming !!! 

Behold ! the first, the original chaos spawn (4th miniature starting by the left)

Did you noticed the horse had 6 legs ? The sacred number !!! 

Then I had more time so I painted some furies. You will recognize easily the GW's ones, but also some Metal Magic's Dunwich Horrors and finaly 2 harlequin squig like creatures... I recruit them all !!  

Basically now I am done with troops !! So next month will be about characters and maybe my baggage train. Will see ! 

Points value : 

20 beastmen, shields and hand weapons, light armours. Musicians and standard bearer :  264 pts

7 furies ;                                                                                                                                105 pts

Total for April : 369 pts

See you next month ! It gonna be nasty !
