WIP Daemon Proxy for 40K Chaos Daemon army [2 of 2]

I have done more work on the miniature. Darkening the red and getting it more defined throughout the skin tones.

Here are some updated photos.

I have to work on the base, and touch up some minor stuff. I also will either put a gloss or satin varnish on the metal parts. I think I'll do satin.

This is a work in progress, please ignore the red as it is just the base color.  I started work on the hard plates, and figured I would make it look stone like. I like how the look and I may add a tad more detail depending on if it will tie into the rest of the miniature.

My goal is to work on the red tomorrow, darkening it then slowly blend up to a lighter red. The shoulder armor plates will become something I am not sure as of yet. Thinking something like Steel to black mix, like some medieval armor looks like.  Finally I will work on the base with painting and flocking.

Wish me luck, I have a lunch bet on the line!

WIP Daemon Proxy for 40K Chaos Daemon army [2 of 2]

Warhammer 40k game in over 15 years! 27Apr14

My unpainted daemon Army of sub 800 pts. It was a first game in many many years last I played 40k. It was very fun, though it took us awhile to get use to the game so it was many hours of figuring things out.

Richard's deployment

 He had left a few units in Reserve.

My deployment

 My plan was to rush him as fast as I could and hope my Flamers would show up about the time I made contact and do some damage.

My leader, yes he is a Daemon

Trying to avoid fire

I took three wounds from Heavy Bolters, damm those things were kicking my ass early on.

Epic drop of Flamers!

This drop alone destroyed much of Richard's army on my left to center.

I made the mistake of trying to go over rough ground with these guys, they kinda got stuck moving real slowly due to poor dice rolls. Though my Leader made short work of the unit he charged, he later gets down to one Hit Point due to them blasted Heavy Bolters. The Las Cannons just couldn't hit me.

Pushed to the edge of the board, we just couldn't seem to kill one another in hand to hand.

The end, it was so much fun. I like the game but dread playing powergamers who I feel I will not have fun playing with. Thank goodness Richard has the same mindset as mine in terms of gaming.  I do hope he brings a few vehicles so we can try them out in the rules. Well perhaps just one will do.

My goal is to learn more and start painting up my little army.
