Forté's creations: Started Crimson Fists (pg 67)

[Forté]

Finally...the wind and rain has calmed enough for me to get my primer on!

Bit of an anti-climax but with Jan 15th looming I better get a wiggle on and get this one in Midnight Clad.

Fingers crossed for some painting time and I think I know how to do the very dark blue that I'm after.

Cheers for popping by and I hope Santa delivered his full sack to you

[Slave to Darkness]

i delivered mine regularly... got it painted  yet??? coulda undercoated by hand lol... It looks good just primed.... finished it yet??? how about now??? :D

[Forté]

Priming by hand is a no go with the resin bits. And it's a pain to do too.

[Slave to Darkness]

But I bet priming by hand brings back memories of being young again... Memories Id rather forget lol

[Flint13]

I would not wish hand priming on anyone. 

 

I'll second the notion this guy needs gorgeous paint! ... I'm totally not just waiting to steal more tips and techniques to spruce up my own 8th... totally

[Forté]

Well, it's between the old GW Midnight Blue and VGC Night Blue for the base (whichever is darker). Badab Black wash. And back to the base colour. Lightning will be causing most of the highlights so fingers crossed it'll work. Pouches will also be the colour of the armour.

 

Metal rims will be more of a dark bolitgun with brownish shadows.

 

Other than that it's bone and terror markings.

[Forté]

And red eyes. Got to have red eyes.

I'm attempting to figure out what to build next and it's looking like the start of a fluffy 40k Emperors Children force. Thing is, I'm not sure on kitting out my low points Lord (in other words, not on a bike till more points and cash). So here's what I'm looking at for 822 points:

 

Lord

MoS

 

6x Noise Marines

Champ has PW, Combi-bolter, melta bombs

Blastmaster

 

6x Noise Marines

Champ has PW, combi-bolter, melta bombs

Blastmaster

 

6x Raptors

Champ has LC, Combi-melta, MB

2x Meltagun

 

Herald of Slaanesh

1x greater, 1x lesser

 

12x Daemonettes

Alluress has 1x greater

 

So I'm left with 178 points for Lord upgrades and another unit out of Chaos Space Marines, Vindicators or Possessed which I have. Or, spawn or oblits which I would need to figure out what to use to model as I'm not a fan of either kit.

 

Cheers for your time as always and I better get painting.

[Slave to Darkness]

Spawn, you know you wanna go for some messed up lookin spawn

If you want fluffy stuff try possessed, would be interesting to see what you create

 

If you want a biker lord, I got doomrider sat here (minus backpack and the holding handlebar arm)

Oh, hell no. I never liked that Doomrider pile of +++][ deleted by order of the Inquisiton ][+++

 

I built the Possessed about four years ago so that would mostly be painting now.

[Chickenleg]

The NL needs some paint on asap!I like how you break him down and then paint the parts.I used to do it this way a long time ago so it brings me memories,i think painting the model while already glued is faster tho?The chaos list looks good,flavored!

Come on,deep down everyone loves the Doomrider....!

[Brother Ambroz]

I would just give your lord a power sword at these lower points levels, that or the burning brand. List looks pretty good, only thing you'd really struggle with is 2+ saves but even then you still have two meltas.

[Forté]

I've settled on this after some input from others. Should be fun to build. That's if I manage it without diversion that is.

 

 

Lord (160)

MoS, LC, PF, SoC, JP.

 

6x Noise Marines (142)

Blastmaster

 

6x Noise Marines (142)

Blastmaster

 

6x Raptors (169)

MoS, 2x MG.

Champ LC, CM.

 

Chaos Spawn (33)

MoS

 

5x Havoks (115)

4x Autocannon

 

Herald of Slaanesh (105)

Exhaulted gift, Locus of Beguilement

 

12x Daemonettes (133)

Alluress Greater Gift

 

Total= 999 (if I'm right)

 

 

@Chickenleg. He's fully magnetized so there's no need to paint him in one part. I also like to be able to get to every part these days. I never really enjoyed unit painting so much for some reason so the list above will be a real challenge for me.

 

@Tanith Ghosts. I'm not too worried about 2+ at 1k points. Could just throw the Daemonettes at it anyway. Rending and high attacks would do some damage or tie them up for a bit.

[Slave to Darkness]

glad to see you settled on the spawn :D

 

cant wait to see what 'wrongness' you create

[Brother Ambroz]

True, forgot that you had the nettes in there. I would change the exalted gift to the greater aetherblade on your herald though, the greater aetherblade is just so good.

[Forté]

One word...Portalglyph.

[The Nephilim]

Happy New Years, Forte.

 

I can't wait to see the spawn.

[Forté]

And happy new year to you too Nephlim. And to everyone.

 

The spawn will have to wait due to lack of bits (and new nid kits coming which could have some interesting stuff). First up would be pretty much every other unit as I have those models ;)

[Slave to Darkness]

But but... i gotsta wait to see spawn?? :'(

Yup. Got ideas forming but need to find bits and get some GS practice.

[Slave to Darkness]

apart from nid bits what ya after? Ill have a look through my bits, and my mate up in liverpool has got a garage full of stuff that I can raid when I go up in a few weeks

[Forté]

Bare bodys and limbs really. Beastmen have descent body sculpts. Thinking Tourtured Souls for inspiration. The usual spawn are odd looking enough but do seem to lack the disturbing, that really shouldn't bend like that, sort of thing.

 

Need to do this Night Lord first and I'm getting distracted ;)

[batu]

Your first thousand points will look fantastic on the table.

 

Happy New Year forte !

Happy New Year forte !

Many thanks batu. May take me a while and have a few detours along the way with Night Lords, Malifaux resurrectionists, Blood Bowl goblins and other stuff wanting attention.

 

Happy New Year to you too batu. And to everyone who visits my ramblings. May your paints go on smooth and your brushes stay pointy.

[Slave to Darkness]

got 5 beastman bodies goin spare
