Night Lords Tallarn Commander's Chaos (Army Tallies & WiP)

[Tallarn Commander]

Thanks for the kind words and the finecast advice Dr. Ruminahui!

 

My hobbying on "Operation Blood Moon Phase 2" is proceeding apace. Hopefully soon my 30ish Bezerkers/Legionaries will be fully upgraded with Space Wolf and World Eaters bitz.

 

Here are some photos...

 

 

Various Blood Wolves being upgraded

 

 

And an opponent had to cancel a game on Saturday. So I took some army photos before going home from the game store.

And Memory of Fenris with some oil washes

 

 

 

And I added and (mostly) painted up a Blood Wolves Havoc with lascannon, Freya

I still need to paint Freya's lenses, add patina to her gold parts, add weathering powder to her base, and add Dirty Down Rust effects to her metal parts.

 

 

 

And a lounging Finn supervises me while I paint

 

 

 

Enjoy the pics!

The only certain things in life are death, taxes, and @Tallarn Commander painting Chaos! How many armies do you have? I know your Night Lords army and your Blood Wolves, but anything else?

[Tallarn Commander]

Thank you Volgon!

 

I have 6 armies and a very small force of Chaos daemons.

 

 

Here is a list of my armies

Tallarn Commander's Tally of Painted 40K Miniatures

 

1.)  Total number of Doomfevers Deathguard/ Nurgle Chaos Marines models: 51ish

2.)   Total Number of Night Lords Chaos Marines Models: 133ish

3.)  Total Number of Nostroman 9th Renegades & Heretics Chaos Militia Models (aka Traitor Guard): 173ish

4.)  Total Number of Blood Wolves World Eaters/ Khornate Chaos Marines Models: 71

 

5.)  Total number of Warpborn Chaos Marines models: 23

6.) Total Number of Helltide Chaos Daemons Models: 34

 

7.) Total Number of Tallarn 23rd Imperial Guard Models: 365ish

 

8.) Plus 1 random Tau Devilfish

 

Total number of models=847

 

 

I finished upgrading the bases of my first batch of Nostroman 9th Traitor Guard troopers. So now I have 23 down and 125ish to go. This project involves repainting everyone's base from red to desert tan, adding a rusted metal bit to each base, touching up paint nicks on each model, adding random rust spots to each model's metal gear, and adding matte varnish to each model so they are better protected during games.

Rebased Corporal Zeva

 

 

Rebased Red Talon

 

 

Enforcer Annika with new Rusted Bit on Base

 

 

Rebased Renegade Commander Vicious Pete

 

 

Rebased and Upgraded Madame Voodoo

Madame Voodoo used to be a Chieftain in a Marauder Squad. But since the 9th Edition Chaos Renegades and Heretics Militia list is no longer valid she will now be a sergeant in a Traitor Guard Squad. So she lost her plasma pistol and gained a corrupted pistol.

 

 

Freya and Simon

 

 

 

And I finished painting Freya, the first member of The Alliance, a Squad of 5 Blood Wolves Havocs

Spoiler

    Freya was once Freya the Grey, chief huntress of the Ice Ravens clan on Fenris. Then one day she fell, mortally wounded in combat with a Tundra Mammoth. She briefly entered Valhalla and was gloriously chosen to ride the skies as a Valkyrie. But then suddenly she was ripped from Asgard and returned to the mortal realms. A Chooser of the Slain had revived her so that she could join the ranks of the Space Wolves.
     She served dutifully as a Space Wolf for centuries. First as a Blood Claw, then as a Grey Hunter, and finally as a member of a Wolf Lord Retinue serving Svane Vulfbad But she still harbored hostility. She was supposed to be a Valkyrie. Soaring high above the Heavens on her own wings. Not here among mere mortals.
     Then one day Svane Vulfbad approached her with an offer. If she would aid him in his revolt and if she would lend her marksmanship skills to the warband for 888 days, then he would give her wings and allow her to form her own band of Raptors, called the Valkyries. For Freya this was the next best thing to rejoining the halls of Valhalla. She agreed to Svane's offer. She aided the revolt and is now counting the hours until she, once more, flies the skies as a Raptor.

 

I really like the sculpt of the new plastic Chaos Havocs. Way better than the old metal 2002 Havoc sculpt.

 

 

Enjoy the photos!

What a collection! Totally agree regarding the Havocs. I think they are my favorite style of Space Marine armor. I used 4 out of 5 of their sculpts for my kill team and still use a lot of individual parts for other things. Lots of Havoc shoulder pads and shin armor in my army.
