Tom's Stinkfoot's war altar and other creeps (214pts)

Ever since the first time I got my hands on a copy of The Lost and the Damned I've been obsessed with the Plague Chalice. It's a tiny image on one page but it has stuck with me all these years. I pieced this together from bass wood for the wagon, green stuff tentacles, the chalice is a doll house trophy minus the handles. Ole Bessie the two headed cow is from armor cast. This is 110 points. The altar guards come next month

Qrab's Chaos: March Marauders Madness (205 points)

After finishing early last month, and with only five models left to paint for the challenge, I was optimistic that I'd be one of the first to finish the challenge. But here it is the last week of March and I've just now finished painting those five models. Where did the fucking time go?

Also, after last month's disaster, I decided to wait for it warms up before I apply the clear coat. So, for now these guys are attached to their bases with pins (no glue). Looking at the close up photos I see some rough spots I'm not really happy with, so after the challenge is over I might do some touch ups.

Anyway, this month I present the front rank for my unit of Chaos Marauders with two-handed weapons, for a total of 205 points. I kept to the same color scheme used for the models in the rear rank, but it appears I flipped the steel and black armor pieces.

Arjen's Plaagrotter's Marauders: Peace and Love and Plague (234pts)

For December I had the choice of an easy 200+ points or a Mulligan, with my Son's birthday preparations and being away for the holidays and all. Luckily my selection contained a unit of 6 Chaos Marauders, that should be doable in a few stolen hours, right?

It was barely, luckily we decided my mother in-law needed a break from having the whole family over for the time spanning Christmas and New Year so we went home in between, giving me a couple of evenings to paint these bastards:

Marauders!!

Qrab's Chaos: A Handful of Marauders (205pts)

This month I quintupled the number of models painted compared to last month. Taken at face value that seems pretty impressive, but what it really means is that I painted five models. These particular models constitute the back rank of my 10 strong unit of Marauders* with two-handed weapons. With each model costing 41 points, this gives me a grand total of 205 points for December.

Several of the models I painted this month were given names when they were first released 30-odd years ago. And even though my collection of Citadel Journals & Compendiums is packed away in storage, thanks to the fantastic Stuff of Legends website, I was able to find those names.

First up is a group shot. As with the unit I painted two years ago, the armor on these figures was also painted with a black and steel color scheme. This time, however, I reversed the position of the black armor pieces. There's a fair amount of fur on these guys as well, and together with the armor I think they're a little too dark. Looking at the photos, I need to add some colors to the bases to create more contrast and differentiate the earth from the fur boots.
