Kill team 20 - Compendium Drukhari



 These are a bit of a cheat, my son did most of the painting on these, I just finished them off. This is a hard hitting Compendium team, there are some nasty weapons available and the Wyches add a depth to melee that gets really nasty with Agile Gladiators.

Painted in fetching combo of black and orange.

Kill team 33 - Warp Coven (WD 469)

Image
 Here I am trying to catch up on the bespoke teams. This is the Warp Coven, came out in the White Dwarf issue 469 and replaced the Compendium Thousands sons list. I'll probably not complete a full 20 man roster for this team, just stick with the basic cool options. I do have loads of tzaangors and a full box of marines, so it might happen one day. The people who know suggest that a good list is three sorcerers, the chain cannon and a bunch of tzaangors, so that's where I'm headed to start. I got given a box of marines for Christmas last year and I've used that to make my sorcerers. The box only comes with one, but with a few simple mods I made the three. I added some green stuff swirly bits, created a staff from a bit of brass rod, green stuff and some icon bits and then added a khopesh made from plasticard.  They are painted in two colours really, I sprayed them gold, added a wash of a mix od sepia and brown and then added the blue bits. Some red on the gems, black on

Complete? Sludge Raiders

Image
Recruited straight out of Wiltshire's dankest village, the Sludge raiders have devoted their foetid existence to the furtherance of chaos across the known and unknown universe. Travelling from kill zone to kill zone via the vagaries of the warp. Becoming more twisted and sodden with every jump. They arrive with the rains, torrential downpours of acid rain turn fields to mire. The stomp of hobnailed boots turns the mire into sludge populated by the maleavolence of the raiders. Your land is our murk, our boots crush your feeble resistance and out knives slice the puckered skin from your failed existence. These figures are based on 3D prints from Knucklebones miniatures. I have mirrored and chopped them up, added bits and bobs and sculpted a bit of anatomy here and there  The Ogryn bits were again 3d prints and I stuck a lump of clay on them to create a greatcoat. I wanted a dirty brown, sludgers look inspired by Mad God and a WWI aesthetic. I'm contemplating adding the 20th opera

Kill team 26 - The Veteran Guard!

Image
Now we're talking. The Vet Guard. I know I say this about all the teams, but I really love the Vet Guards. I've not got around to painting up the Krieg that came in the Octarius box set, but I have made up two full rosters of alternatives.  Both team rosters required some minor conversions to get to a point where the figures looked like the specialists that they should be representing. My first team is from a non-GW manufacturer called Pig Iron. I know Pig Iron from the days when Simon Jackson used to turn up to the same trade shows as me. The company is in new  hands now, as is my old company, the figures are still available and I love the aesthetic. These figures are Kolony. As well as the full roster of Kolony I have a roster of old metal Valhallans. I bought these back in the day when they were first released as I was going to build a small 40K force. Then I watched a few games and decided not to. The advent of Kill team gave me an excuse to dig them out, dust them down and
