Tom's Chaos Renegades - rank and file 4: 283points

So ... June. The last month of the OWAC. 

I should be feeling psyched, getting the last of the required models all finished but instead I have fallen in to a painting doldrum. I thought that maybe making more terrain would shake me out of it so I have made some movement trays a bit more Chaosy with the addition of milliput. Full pics of these next month with the full army pics🙂:

And then also experimented with some rocks made from foam - nice and easy. I've now learned not to put a rock onto another rock - it looks in these cases quite unnatural...

Sorry for the sideways pic. Some computer gremlins won't let me correct it :(

Then a huge portion of this month was put into Other Projects (oh the shame!).

I did manage *some* models though! 

Here's a Nurgle marine and his inspired fan sculpt from BeQuest Miniatures 👇

And the corresponding Slaanesh pair 👇

I'm fact I been loving the Tzeentch colour scheme, so I did another pair (again, GW and BeQuest) 👇

I then started on trying to round out the Pink Horror unit, and managed these two, to bring the unit up to Five 👇

Their respective Blue Horrors are currently sat in the base coat awaiting motivations...Hopefully they'll be done for the full army pics...

And then, the groove returned! But only for two miniatures. But daaang, what miniatures!

First up is Festimus from Knightmare Miniatures. I used one of Knightmare's resin Chaos banners to convert him into the Army Standard Bearer. I pointed the resin banner in place and created a tentacle from milliput to help hold it in place. Fingers crossed it never gets dropped! 👇

And now the finale! 

Drums roll, trumpets sound!

Behold, the Emperor in Alternate Chaos Colours👇: 

I initially thought he'd convert to Slaanesh, so should be Pink to fit in with the rest of my Slaanesh. But, Tzeentch played a strong hand and influenced the other colours. I was really wary of ending up with a model with a scheme I was unhappy with (kinda like the undivided sorcerer), but I really like how vibrant he has come out. 

Motivation came from a paint set switch, so he's been painted using the Rogue Hobbies ProAcryl set, and a nod to Louise Sudgen in the prismatic sword blade (although I haven't yet watched the video, but I see it referenced a lot!)

I like the original Eye of Horus on the shoulder pad, and then the GW one on the kneepad to kinda show where the Emperor's allegiance lies...

And that wraps up the final working month of the OWAC! Hopefully before the final army pics are taken I'll be able to muster up the gumption to finish painting the last three BeQuest fan sculpts and their respective originals, and those four Blue Horrors. Unfortunately I have a sinking feeling that that might be too much of an ask, but it's good to have an aim and write it down anyway!

I'll probably mess around with the army composition a bit to make it feel like a whole army to me. Seems just like Chaos for me to go and paint Khorne and Tzeentch factions together...le sigh!

Full army pics, new pics of all the models, and an army composition breadown next month! 

Many thanks for reading and following along. 

This OWAC for me has been the toughest so far. 

Congratulations to all the Challengers who pushed on through and gave it their all!
