Nice and evil stuff!

 

How are you planning to model them and run them? Any ideas yet?

I was wondering what to do with my Traitor Enforcer that I will be getting from the Masters of the Maelstrom- I didn't think the Xenos Enforcer model was big/cool enough to be her Ogryn bodyguard. After looking around/getting opinions from some of my Crusade buddies, I decided to go with a unit of AoS Gorgers. They are based on 50mms natively, so taking one and making it the 40mm Ogryn won't be too much of a problem in terms of sizing (might be just a bit big but won't look horrible), and the other four will turn into two units of Chaos Spawn, who are on 50mms.

Funny enough, the Traitor Ogryn and Chaos Spawn have fairly similar stats, with the Ogryn giving their Enforcer a FNP instead of getting one themselves like Spawn, and the Spawn have a random number of attacks that are weaker. The Ogryn is also slightly Tougher, but has a worse Save. So this works out fairly well in my view as the Red Maw elite are naturally tougher/stronger than their brethren, given weapons to make them more deadly, but are trained to take blows for their masters so have slightly worse survivability. 

Right now I'm alternating between painting my Votann Beserkers and Traitor Guard, while also putting together the Alpha Legion squads/Masters of the Maelstrom. I should have the painting done by Sat and most of the building by Sunday- after that I have a couple of small projects to paint (evil snowman and Argel Tal vs Ultra Praeor mini-diorama), before December. Once those are done I'll start working hard on my Night Lord squads while mixing in the Alpha Legion as well (also probably picking up the Gorgers and another AoS model that I'm wanting, Ushoran)- I'm aiming to have a decent amount painted before March's Colorado Cup, so I can take my CSM there instead of my standard Necrons/Knights.

hope this helps get over the block!

Very nice start - the colours compliment each other well with the dark grey, purple and then flashes of warmth.

in terms of basing I’d maybe think about a very light grey, light blueish-grey, or possibly snow over dark slate as I think something that gives a contrast to your deep charcoal whilst also allowing your colour flashes it stand out would compliment your scheme nicely.

The scheme will look great collectively as well.

Good stuff!
