Update: Chaos Krieg - Master of the Horde 90 Renegades done!

[Lagrath]

Reposting this from my primary army log, which also includes my Chaos Space Marine and Chaos Daemons: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279118-hexfleet-virules-nurgle-csm-daemons-and-rh/

 

Finally, finally, finally, done with the first half of my Chaos Krieg Platoons for my Renegades & Heretics. Doing 45 of these took as long as doing 200 of any other type of model - I am not joking. Between the small scale, the resin washing, the bad fits and gap-filing, the breaking, the needless amount of tiny parts, etc., these guys were nightmare and a time sink. Doing another 45 is going to suck - but that's what I get for running a Master of the Horde army! Nothing like an objective secured 15-man squad with lasguns, krak grenades, frag grenades, 3 flamers, and a morale icon that gets replaced with an identical unit on a 5+ when it dies!

 

In terms of how I imagine these poor souls, I've already come up with an elaborate short story that explains how they get into the Hexfleet and how the loyal Krieg have fallen so low. It should be posted within the next few weeks. I imagine an army of broken men desperately attempting to hold on to some shred of humanity, forced to go along in a never-ending war against their former fellow Imperialists. Thanks to their Faustian bargain with Virules and their toxic-resistant equipment, most of the soldiers have suffered minimal mutations or degeneration...but there are those individuals who have embraced their new fate more enthusiastically, perhaps mutating from carrying a cursed icon of Chaos. The equipment is haphazard and scavenged, with broken tools and torn coats throughout.

Those really suit Nurgle. Lots of dirt and grime coming I hope.

[Chaeron]

They all look amazing - absolutely worth it.

[K0rtmer]

Oh, cool, that's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see some paint on the lot.

 

What's the great winged, um ... thing in the background? :)

[Lagrath]

That is Virules, namesake and leader of my Chaos armies. His backstory is available at my Hexfleet army log (in my sig, second post from start of thread)

Love the subtle greenstuff details; really adds to the character of the models.

[Chaeron]

Incredibly jealous - look absolutely superb, and the subtle touches of conversion work or corruption make them look even better. Cannot wait to see these painted.
