Tom's Chaos Renegades - May: WILDCARD

MAY

Well, things are setting down a little bit in the New House, which is nice. 

Painting mojo is picking up a little nearing the completion of this post (last quarter of May) so hopefully in June I can round out the units I have already into multiples of five, rather than the respective Sacred Number - for that extra heresy.

Anyhow, last month I started off with the idea of painting the wonderful Adobe scenery available from Fogou Models to generate some motivations...

And here it is painted, using some acrylic paint that I borrowed from my other half... 

I took inspiration from the legend that is Leadplague (blog) (instagram) for the stripes around the buildings. I think that I should have painted them darker too, but never mind - they are done now!

One of the dwellings is not like the others...👇

And then I got carried away with more daemons! I painted another Nurgle Champion for the palanquin, which I really like. I love the simplicity of this model and I think it feels a lot more sinister for it 👇

And then I thought that Khorne would love some representation on the battlefield. 

These are Bloodthirsty Fiends, available from Satyr Studio 👇

The darker scheme is to fit them in with the Khorne Marines, and more specifically the Greater Daemon that I painted before the challenge..

The Flesh Hounds turned up, so I felt obliged to paint at least one! They were a pain to add on to the base. I ended up clipping the slottatab much smaller, and then carving a little space in the cork for it to sit. Then liberal amounts of superglue. The head and the front part of the body were all pinned, thankfully, as I have dropped this model a couple of times already!

I painted it with two eyes (just), but I think it is sculpted as a cyclops...

Here's a quick pic of all the Khorne models including some Hounds and an extra Bloodletter painted before the OWAC start...👇

After these, the only God without some daemon representation was Slaanesh, so naturally I painted up some Daemonettes. 👇 (I have painted quite a few plaguebearers before the start of the OWAC)

And a group shot with their Greater Daemon...👇

Propaganda Bot👇 Spreading some essential info yo! I think this was an unexpected free mini by  Alternative Armies

But yeeaaaah, that just about wraps up this month. Here's the breakdown:

Hopefully next month - THE LAST MONTH! will be rounding off the units, and maybe some extra slaanesh marines...

Full army pics will follow in July. I'll take off the digital blue background and try to photograph everyone again so that they all have the same exposure levels...

I'll just finish off with a quick rollcall, just for my future reference on what I should paint (although that might not materialise into what I actually do paint!)
