Frank's Great Work Continued, A Daemonic Legion of Slaanesh - Wrap-up - July

 

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...

'15' Minotaur Champion w/ chaos weapons                                                                        240

Spawn of Slaanesh x5                                                                                                         500 

        Champions and Allies

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...
