Nicolas' Chaos Army of Tzeentch - Leader Month (125pts)

Sacking of the Temple

"...as soon as the hydra breached the inner wall of the temple, Saheel the Faceless entered surrounded by a swarm of cackling flamers. As parchment scrolls, books and the screaming librarians themselves were incinerated, Saheel collected the fumes of remaining knowledge into his tome of fire. The demons were already feasting on the fiery hashes like starving voltures. 

The sorcerer remained calm in the center of this absolute chaos, his inner sight guided by the magic winds fully saturated by the raw power in front of him. There it laid, in the center of the now charred librairy, the Stone of Reach, a compass rose under the charm of thousands of monks chronicles of travel. Allowing whoever stepped on it to see the lands visited by the previous chroniclers, like a common memory.

"Why leave it here?" Proclamed Saheel as he stepped on it, his absent eyes being overflowed with images of far lands he never thought possible. Raising his arms, the round stone lifted in the air, propelled by an unatural blueish fire. It was now time to reach back his troop and reaffirm his dominance over the Blazing Wind clan."


So I present you my leader for this project, Saheel the Faceless;

General - Hero on disk, leader of the Thrall Warband - 125pts

With his little companion, a walking fish.



The actual disk was built from a flaming chariot bits and the top of an Oronoco rum bottle, which I kept in my bit box for over a decade in the wait of a proper use 😅. 


Saheel stands as an equal to Velok the Tzeentch Recruiter, a previous hero on disk I also mounted on 50mm base to integrate a thrall warband.



And here is Saheel with some of his riding companions.


And finaly, the hydra and the flamers in context with the intro story!


Pokrzyw's Empire Army - Month 5 - storm of lead (200pts) - Rank and File 4 - OWAC IX

 "Master Engineer Volker von Meinkopt found inspiration watching students reloading at the Imperial Gunnery School. He had a revelation: more barrels equals more shots equals more lethality. He soon produced the first repeating handgun, Von Meinkopt’s Whirling Cavalcade of Death, and pistol, Von Meinkopt's Micro-mainspring of Multitudinous Precipitation of Pernicious Lead. Not content to rest on those laurels, he then created the enormous nine-barrelled cannon, the Helblaster Volley Gun, which is utterly lethal to enemies and, all too often, its crew." - Warhammer Armies: Empire 4ed



Plans for May:

I try to paint halflings. But it is the swarm. There were too many distraction in this month. I took something that I could finish. I see no Empire Army without artillery. Hellblasters are unique piece, especially in classic blue-red uniform.

Realization:

I started in second week in May, unfortunately I have business trip and after that two weeks of sickness that i couldn't focus my eyes on anything longer than few minutes.. Finally my dog try to catch stick and lost a half of fang.. In affect vet-surgery I lost last weekend, so in 2nd of June I was able take photos and prepare article.

Gallery:

hard calculations where to shot

The safest place for crew is the rear of machinery

Or from the bird-view

Enjoy the bright colours


Points:

  • hellblaster volley gun (100)
  • hellblaster volley gun (100)

Plans for June:
Volkmar and cavalry!

At last, the horde is done. For this year. 

In May I painted 5 more Goblin Wolf Riders and 3 wolves without riders because I couldn't care to find more. I also added some muscles with 2 trolls from the 2nd edition Blood Bowl range. The Wolf Riders comes from different Citadel models and my favourite is the Fanatic Wolf Rider !

Sybou's Chaos dwarfs - OWAC 9, May Post [Leader - 152 points]

 Hello everybody,

a really quick month for me: the Leader month!!!


Here he is, the Lord of Madness himself

This guy coming from the classic chaos dwarf boxset inspires leadership and bossy attitude.

The one I bought was kind of in a bad shape, the minime on his helmet is a bit broken.

I gave him a red armor and a brown beard.

The shield is a classic big hat iconography a burning skull:


Here we are for this month, a cool leader for the mean stunties.

Next month, I should finish my chaos dwarf regiment with banner and musician.

Take care.

Cheers                                                                                                                                Sybou


Ben D's Skelibobs - May-be Haunted

Weather - dark and stormy

Music - darkest of the hillside thickets

Mood - harried

+++

Hello all! Tonight we're sneaking our post in right under Satan's nose, in the eleventh hour and with great haste. Since there's no time for dawdling, here are the fiends, fresh off the paint tray.


10 Wights on Skeleton Steeds with heavy armor, shield, and full command. That's what these are, uh huh. Not a bunch of noodly skeletons riding behemoth pill bugs.


Okay, they're both, but I have a very good reason for it: I already had three pill bugs. All I had to do was sculpt a pair of variants, blue stuff cast them, and then I had a horde of heavily armored bugs that were in dire need of riders. The decision was made for me, by destiny some might say. Really tiny destiny.


Their lances were probably the hardest part, since by that point all of my patience had been used up. I actually find the result of my slipshod solution here really charming, where all of my lances are curled and flaccid because I couldn't be assed to sculpt them the right way. This accidental choice lends greater comedy and wickedness to the force, as it reflects the necromancers impotence, and yet he's still a moderately sized issue with all those death head bugs and pointy sticks.


The legs were also a bit of a chore, but with the same sort of result. None of these Skelibobs know how to ride pill bugs, and thus their legs are all over the place.


+528 pts

+++++

To round things off for May, I've also finished my gift model (also under the wire,) a skeleton musician that is the right size for a lucky recipient to use it in a normal sized skeleton unit (that is also, presumably, normal sized )



Spooky tin for atmosphere and freshened breath. Onward and upwards! See you at the finish line!



ChrisP's Orks - May - Rank and File 4

Mekaniak with meltagun and power sword - 30pts

Gretchin Assistant - 3pts

Drillboss with power fist - 30pts

7 Stormboyz with jump packs - 112pts

Total - 175 points


 

I'll be honest, this month has been a bit of a struggle. It's hard to paint during an unseasonal heatwave, and I wasn't sure if I'd get them finished. Still, these are such characterful old minis, I was determined to get them across the finish line. This was one time when I was particularly happy that I'm using 32mm bases instead of the old 25's, as it makes such top-heavy models much more stable.

As the stormboyz only number eight minis,  I also painted my Evil Sunz mekboy and his grot dogsbody. He was looking a bit squat and unremarkable, so I added a bannerpole from a biker, with a nice big glyph plate from a newer kit to advertise his services.


 

JohnR's Month 5 - Rank and File (633 points)


Just 10 minis done this month. They were originally going to form part of my Boss's retinue but since I didn't get him finished I guess they can be an elite pirate squad instead :)


 

They're a pretty mixed bunch: mostly GW and Iron Claw with a few Stargrave thrown in.

I must confess I haven't put a lot of personality into my entries so far - between traveling and work it's all I could do to stay on the painting. So I decided to go ham and give everyone names this month 😁 

 

 

Fobba Bett the ex-bounty hunter and Margo the Space Amazon
 

 

Siddartheous the rogue astropath and 'Zeno' the Pirate Hero

 

 

Docia 'Doc' B'fra and Hans the goon

 

 

 

Zhu Khung inscrutable alien psyker and 'Cybergirl'

 

 

 

Altun the Alien Giant and Glaxo, Space Pirate of Ventolin

 

 

Got to admit making up the names was great fun. You can probably guess where most of them came from, I'm not the most original I'm afraid.😅


They're very much a team of individuals - think Guardians of the Galaxy / Dirty Dozen / Ice Pirates etc.

 

Everyone gets frag and crack grenades (30points) plus the following:

Fobba Bett - Human Minor Hero, Carapace Armour, Plasma Gun, Laspistol = 43.5points

Margo - Human Champion, Refractor Field, Lasgun, Laspistol, 2 Plasma Grenades = 12.5points 

Siddartheous - Human Champion, Level 1 psyker, Refractor Field, Laspistol = 44points

 'Zeno' - Human Major Hero, Flak Armour, Refractor Field, Melta Gun, Laspistol = 93.5points

'Doc' - Human Minor Hero, Conversion Field, Laspistol, Med Kit = 43points

Hans - Human Champion, Flak Armour, Autogun = 9points

Zhu Khung - Elder Major Hero, Level 3 psyker, Carapace Armour, Displacer Field = 247.5points

'Cybergirl' - Human Champion, Flak Armour, Heavy Stubber, Bionic Targeter Eye = 57.5

 Altun - Human Minor Hero, Mesh Armour Neuro-Disruptor = 42

Glaxo - Human Champion, Carapace Armour Lasgun and Laspistol = 10.5

Total Points = 633 

 

Well, that's as much as I got done this month - hope everyone else was more productive and see you in 4 weeks time for the finale I guess!
