Once more, it's been my great pleasure to take part in OWAC alongside so many talented painters. And now, I've painted almost my entire collection of older Chaos miniatures, which I'm quite proud of. My favourites this year were the Land Raider, the Daemon Prince, and the Sorcerer on Disc. It's been a bit of a tricky year for my motivation, and there's definately some models that I wished I'd taken some more time over. Still, seeing them all together, I'm very happy with the effect.

Throughout the year, one thought keeps coming back to me when I've been painting...

I want to paint orks again!

All being well, I will do just that next year.

Congratulations to all of my fellow participants, there's some stunning armies this year.

   

Pokrzyw's Sisters of Battle - Month 1- Rank & File 1 - meltasquad OWAC VIII

"With bolter, flamer and melta is the foe purged. "

Plans for January:

In previous editions I tried to do biggest unit in the very beginning of challenge to avoid situation that my morale will be not enough to finish it. This time I take 7 sister standard squad plus 3 more to fulfill the challenge requirements:

This particular squad was planned for February, but this one was first in the box ;)

Realization:

Sisters of Battle are core of my army, and that unit was the trigger that put me in 40k in '90ies . Unfortunately it looks that old love is dead. It was torture to finish this squad. I spent last years in Fantasy Battle, returning to 40k might be a mistake.. They are finalized, but looking  forward 20+ more is really huge burden

Bright sides - new Warpaints Fanatic paints line is brilliant - these juicy reds painted on black base!

Final Gallery:

I decided to utilize nice weather outside and take old terrains that I was made for 40k. There they are:

Gift:

Yes, there is a gift for one of our supreme supervisors. I found something in inqusitorial recreation facility. Sending it via Poczta Polska was terrible experience (this relic of communism still is alive..). But it was done. I will not post a picture in this month resume - let it be kind of dirty surprise for receiver.

Extraordinary chaotic scanning appears. This time I've prepared Chaos Sorcerer from the depths or Reign of Chaos

SlaaneshChild was obvious choice as this little creature incantate "Slaanesh Slaanesh" every time that i look on him.

Plans for February:

Another squad of sisters plus (optional) two vehicles. Together with already painted squad, it would be great core for my forces.

Skål's wrap up post "Release the Chaos"

 

Another OWAC in the books. This one was pretty awesome. I feel like I painted up quite a few of the units I have really been wanting to paint for a really long time. I will be using these units for games of 2nd as well as 3rd edition 40k. While I feel like I have accomplished quite a bit, I have only put a small dent in the pile of Chaos I want to get done. With that, the shirt is a hint at what I will be working on next OWAC as I feel like I need to do part two of my Chaos Forces.

Yesterday, I had a package arrive, and much to my surprise, it was a lovely painted miniature from Bill. Thank you very much dude, he will be added to my Dwarf army as a "taller" dwarf. 

Of course, I had to do one more red light photo and I really wanted a photo of the big guy amongst his crew.

These Bloodletters will be a big part of next year's Chaos forces. I may have to paint another 10 just in case.

I think you get a true measure of the size of the Nurgle Chaos Lord when he is standing among his followers. He is going to be an awesome sight on the table and a force to be reckoned with.

I was so happy that this tribute to my Maryland gaming crew came out. I had envisioned them. It was awesome that my buddies chose the Renegade that they wanted to represent them on the field of battle. 

These classic Nurgle Marines were so awesome to paint and I think I am going to have to paint a few more units of them to have the Nurgle tide roll over all who oppose them.

To all of the challengers that completed this grand OWAC, congratulations, to those that have fallen I raise my horn to you Skål.

Khârn the Betrayer will rise next OWAC.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Khorne is with me. (From my shirt in the photo).

Chris P's Ork Horde - OWAC VII Wrap-Up

I'm calling this year a success. I ended up painting a slightly different selection of minis from the initial plan (added the freebooters, more grots and a support weapon, but left the buggies and boars for a future project), although I'm really happy with the variety of these guys. I like to think they look reasonably cohesive as well, even if they only thing they all share is brown boots!

The warboss's Goff Nob buddy was my pre-OWAC test model, and the Runtbot was a very kind gift from Ben F, so they don't count on my army list, but I've included them in the photos. Hopefully I've achieved my goal of creating something that might appear in a mid-90's White Dwarf.
