This brings me to the end of my second Old World Army Challenge. I accomplished quite a bit, but not as much as I had set out to. Despite this, there is now a whole new Undead Auxiliaries contingent added to my Slaaneshi Legion. And while these are mostly the daemonic equivalent of cannon-fodder, a number of chaos spawn and other creatures of chaos joined the horde adding middle of the road cost fighters in what is otherwise a very points heavy army. Last, but not least, several powerful spellcaster characters were drawn to the ranks adding some interesting looking models to the leaders of the Legion. Thanks to the efforts of the organizers to herd all us cats and keep the webpage running and churning out all the great inspiration, and a salute to my fellow challengers who slogged through the OWAC 'fighting season'.
In total, for my OWAC IIX, here are the season's additions...
Cult of the Unflagging Revelers (Undead Auxiliaries)
'20' Liche 345
Undead Minotaur Champion w/ 4 rewards, and daemon weapon 230
Skeleton Warriors w/ chaos weapons x20 200
Skeleton Warriors w/ Seeking bows x12 240
Touched of Slaanesh (Creatures of Chaos)
Harpies x6 90
"The Pale Worms", Minotaurs x5 200
'15' Minotaur Champion w/ chaos weapons 240
Spawn of Slaanesh x5 500
Champions and Allies
"Rippity Rabbity", Independent Daemon Prince 810
"The Golden Pair", Mighty Champion of Slaanesh & Familiar w/ 10 rewards 360
Dragon w/o wings, 3+ chaos attributes 600
Total Models = 55 (63 adjusted for OWAC8 size standards) Total Points = 3,815
Finally, I couldn't resist bringing out the entire legion for a parade. They are starting to look like a proper army, and I dare say there are few of its like out there now. I hope they convey the feel of those fabulous pictures of armies in Slaves to Darkness that (to my then 14 year old eyes) were wild, mad, and seemingly utterly unattainable. My collecting, crafting, and painting of this project spreads over many years now and I think I am finally nearing its end. I just might have enough additions for one more OWAC in me though. We shall see...
You have captured the style and essence of Slaves to Darkness in this project. It’s a very fine army, and I hope to see another season of it in the future!
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely captured the RoC vibe with this rancid rainbow of an army! The Slaanesh themed Undead are such a great idea and you executed it well. Bravo sir!
ReplyDeleteUnrelenting colour! Great effort, and a banging looking army. My absolute favourite is the Golden Pair - wonderful and brave work sir! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of colour, words fail to express just how impressed I am with just how many figures you've managed to paint, well done.
