Dragonlover's Daemonkin - The Harvest - ETL V Kytan WIP

@Brother Mayhem: Thanks dude! I want to get some Marines painted up, I reckon they'll look sweet in this scheme. Probably won't be till next ETL at this rate though.

 

So this is where my Cultists are currently at:

Not the greatest pic, might try and get some outdoor shots with actual sunlight taken at some point. Decided I wanted some variation in skin tones rather than just painting an army of white guys. Used the Paint Splatter for the AoS dude with the giant axe, not sold on the final Cadian Fleshtone highlight but otherwise pretty happy with it so far. Gonna do it on the other four Catachans as well.

So, I've started in on the Flesh Hounds. I've decided that any daemons in this army will reflect the siege-based nature of their creation, so a lot of fire and smoke. I'm also gonna go for a rubble-like texture on the Bloodthirster's skin. Not sure how Juggernauts will work if I have any, that's a problem for another day.

 

With that in mind, I'm doing the hounds so that the fur looks like flames and the skin is going to be greys and blacks for smoke. It was going to be the other way round, but there's less underbelly than I thought there was. These models also mark my first successful large scale attempt at drybrushing. I don't intend to use it all that often still as it stresses me out, but at least I know I can do it.

Also, a friend is working on a cosplay and had some left over Worbla, so my wife made me this:

I might stick a magnet on the back and put it on the fridge.

So, I kinda lost all hobby mojo for a month, but I'm back! I finished the Flesh Hounds. Decided against the grey legs as they didn't work how I wanted them to.

Started in on the Rhinos today:

Not 100% sure what to fill the holes with though.

Cheers man. It was gonna be a little tub of blood and skulls, but I couldn't be bothered in the end. Another time.

 

Here's what I've been working on the rest of the night, the lady in charge of this band of blood soaked ravagers:

I suppose, given I'm painting this army for the ETL, I should dust this plog off. I'd like to introduce my latest acquisition, a Kytan Daemon Engine!

Fairly simple build, although I screwed up one of the legs which is why it's doing the extreme stride as opposed to something a little more conservative.

 

Dragonlover

Excellent. A super cool model. I wish I had finished mine.... bloody thing just never lived long enough, but such a fantastic unit.

 

So were you tempted by the new Renegade Knight? Or are you sticking ruleswise with the Kytan?

@Prot: Yeah I'm tempted, already placed my order. The eventual plan was for a knight of each god plus one for Malal. This just... accelerates things. Also you should totally finish your Kytan.

 

@Dammeron: I like it because it shows a bit of the strategy I associate with Khornate worship.

I, Dragonlover, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

 

1 Chaos Lord on Bike with Power Fist and Axe of Khorne

1 Squad of 5 Possessed

1 Unit of 10 Chaos Space Marines with 1x Melta, 1x Plasma, Power Fist+Lightning Claw on Champ

1 Unit of 10 Chaos Space Marines with 1x Melta, 1x Plasma, Power Fist+Lightning Claw on Champ

1 Unit of 7 Chaos Bikers with 2 Meltas, Power Fist+Lightning Claw on Champ

1 Unit of 7 Chaos Bikers with 2 Meltas, Lightning Claw on Champ

1 Maulerfiend

1 Kytan Daemon Engine of Khorne

 

from Codex: Khorne Daemonkin of total value 1838 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to The Harvest and the Blood God and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Once more into the breach! Vow 1 of this ETL is all the bits left for my Daemonkin that aren't straight up daemons. Just in the process of finishing the basecoats.

Got some work done on the first five today:

I was hoping to have this squad done this week, but life happened.

 

Dragonlover

Got more done on these first five. They're starting to look like actual finished models!

I'm gonna do the lightning claw like I did the ones on the Terminators, but I'm stumped for the powerfist. Any suggestions?

So, I had every intention of doing this properly. Y'know, regular updates, casual banter and all that awesomeness. Then the combination of Photobucket acting up on my phone and travelling back and forth to Nottingham in the wake of Grandpa's death took its toll.

 

Pretty much everything is painted, I just lost the will to post updates. However, I do have a WIP pic of the Kytan, so all is not in vain!

Once he's done I'll do a massive photo dump of everything.

 

Dragonlover

Started on on the trim highlights, got the right arm and shoulder done, along with most of the head.

Dragonlover

Cheers dude! At some point I'm gonna transfer them all to the new Sector Imperialis bases. In theory, anyway. Basing isn't something I really care about, so it might never happen.

 

I've actually finished the vow and made a follow-up. I'll try and get some proper pics up, my completion pics were a bit hurried.

 

Dragonlover

You should totally do that, it'll be awesome.

 

Spent this week on Vow 2 and finished it this morning. Bloodthirster skin was awesome to paint, but man that whip is a pain is the rear.

 

 

Vow 2 is now complete!

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g79/Dragonlover63/Mobile%20Uploads/20160715_172155-1.jpg

I've got a few potential options for Vow 3, but I've got five prerelease events to play in first. It won't be anything too extensive though. Probably.
