Kill team 25 - Compendium Hive fleet

Genestealers and warriors. I have never got around to doing the swarms of Gants and Gaunts as I don't like the models much, but if I see some on ebay or troll trader I'll grab them.



Warriors come out to play! I've no idea what the best load out is for these, I got them off of ebay and I stripped and painted them. I don't use warriors, they are too big. Maybe I should but I love the purity and savage menace of the ten stealer team.

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...

Forbidden Psalm - More buildings

Image
I enjoyed building the houses for FP so I thought I'd make some more, there is an inn that you can visit between sc enarios to recover wounds and do some dodgy trades. It's called the Hogs head, which I discovered is some sort of Harry Potter reference. I wanted to make a nice inn, so I did. The cla ssic pub is on the corner, so that's what I based the building on, a corner pub. I also made a small shop which sells weapons; Forbes and Idden Arms. I made a small school type building and also a couple more generic houses. T hey look pretty neat on my paved area. The eagle eyed will notice I raised the pub sign later on to make it less likely to be walked in to.
