Slaaneshchild tentaculich wrap-up : 6 month of disease, plague and despair

So hhhhheeeeeere we are. 7 months later, with more than 5000 pts painted. What a great adventure !

I didn't have the time/the courage to paint the flies and the pestigors, I will do it later

This army was a great challenge as I am more used to paint dark elves and slaaneshi models, but it was a real pleasure !

I also think more chaos spawns are missing, I will probably do it in the months to come with the pestigors and flies.

I do love all of them, it was so much fun to paint and to convert ! The flagellants, plaguebearers, plague knights, daemon prince, great unclean one... and of course chariots and altar.

I couldn't make a proper wrap up picture this year, with me behind, I add to rush packing my stuff for vacation... but I am all here ! In each miniature, behind each single nurgling, that's all me !!

the horde in it glorious pride

the master of all, Conjonctivus the glorious !

Next year ?? 

Good question. I have a side project to convert/create all the special characters for Dark Elves 5th ed army book (when I was a child, dark elves were the poorest army in terms of miniatures, so I will take my revenge by creating appropriate special characters. And Dark Elves are all about revenge, aren't they ?? )

But it doesn't make an army. So I am thinking... maybe rebuild my Emperor's Children, but I want to play them now... Will I be able to wait until the next OWAC ? Will see next year ! 

Cheers !! 

The last but not the least.... Chaos Altar, chariot, and other conforts, Slaaneshchild's Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllld month.

 Tadam !!! Summer is coming ! And with it, the end of the OWAC ! To finish with style and beauty, I needed something really cool. I wanted to make a Chaos Altar / Baggage train.

Center pieces, especially in chaos armies, have always been huge opportunities for kitbashing and painting.

I wanted something big, that I could use in gaming in different ways. I started with a 3Dprinted version of the skaven doom bell, I asked to make it smaller than actual version. I added and old RAFM beast from Cthulhu range, two oldhammer bone champions, et voilà !! 

Rejoice in death for Father Nurgle !!!! 

If I can't play it as a Chaos Altar, I will play it as an hero on chariot pulled by a beast of Nurgle !

Speaking of chariot, I wanted to have a sorcerer lord on chariot. I mixed the horses from the actual range (it is a permanent spell from the ghost army in AoS) with the plague cart. I add the throne of Sauron, a sorcerer and the driver from the RoC chaos chariot.

I love the throne of Sauron. I think I used it maybe 3 times in different conversions. This miniature fits perfectly for Slaanesh, (I see a throne made of living fleeeeeeesh), but not too bad for Nurgle too.

And then... no chaos army is complete without a Chaos Lord on Chaos Steed. So I made one with some bitzs I had.

The horse is from Confrontation, the character is an alternative champion of the Palanquin. I also decided to build a Chaos Spawn from nothing, "just like in the old time" ;)

Finally Graeme send me a beast of Nurgle, so I added a plague bearer on it and now I have a unit of 5 plague riders !!! Thank you !! 

Family picture !!!!! Say Beuuuuuuurg :D

Next month... The entire army !

The daemons return (430 points)

Hello everyone,

we're here! End of February.
The daemons are here again. I painted much less than last time but anyway I made good progress on them.

Blood doggoes or flesh hound:

I kept them really simple. They have really funny heads, specially the one on the left.

Little rotten babies or nurglings:

These little buggers are really fun. I mixed lots of base paints. There is even one eating his own poo.
Fun guys, lots of variety.

Big slimy or beast of nurgle:

This one is mainly green sludge. I like the goat like eyes. The dendrites weren't easy to do but globally the result is ok for me. It's a big beast ready to wreak havoc.

So that's it for the points of this month:

5 doggoes - 175 pts

6 bases of nurglings - 180 pts

big beasty - 75 pts

A total of 430 pts.

Then the bonus of the month:

The Nurgle pallanquin!

I really enjoyed painting this guy. I used most of the month to paint him. The nurglings on the base were pretty hard to paint. I wrote two chinese letters on the banner saying "unclean". But we can't really see them on the picture. A real classic from the realms of chaos.

Thank you for watching and take care.

Sybou :)
