This Is Not A Test Koyote

Orvis and the mutant brothers are a fine addition to your cult.  The unified colour scheme is paying off.  When you have them all completed I would love to see a group shot.

The Iron Deacon (Mutant Emissary)



The model is a Redeptionist Brethren armed with an autogun and an exterminator.  In Necromunda, the latter is weapon attachment that gives the wielder a one shot flamer attack.  In keeping with this model's origins, as soon as I have the barter script, I am going to equip the Iron Deacon with molotov cocktails with the 'large caliber upgrade' (i.e. strength 6 molotov cocktail).  Since, in TNT, a model can be armed with a two-handed weapon and grenades, the model's armament easily translates into a model armed with an assault rifle and molotov cocktails.

One more model to go (Cardinal Corvus himself), and I will have a fully painted 400 BS warband.

Nice choice!  He'll fit in nicely with the other members of your warband.

Thanks. Once I finish the Cardinal I will take a group shot.

Well, I've just about finished painting Cardinal Corvus.  The model (Imbrian Arts' King of Ghouls), is turning out, more or less, as expected, however, when placed beside his flock, he doesn't 'fit in' as well as I had hoped. Bummer.  Back to the drawing board.

My first candidate for my new Cardinal Corvus, is the Redemptionist Deacon that I converted into a Mondo.  Like Cardinal Corvus, the model is huge and is equipped with a double handed weapon and I have little doubt that this fine fellow fits in the with the rest of my mutant cultists. 

The downside is that this model is cool, but a little boring.  Also, there's nothing about it that ties in with the Corvus (the Latin word for 'raven'), part of the cardinal's name.




Another option that I'm mulling over is to make Cardinal Corvus a truly horrific mutant, whose visage is worthy of a mutant cultist's awe and worship.  One of the models that I'm considering is Wyrd Miniatures' Black Blood Shaman.  The model is wearing robes, of sorts, and it's head is definitely bird-like.  If the model is as tall a I think it is, Cardinal Corvus could keep his Large mutation. And of course, I would also have to add the Wings mutation.




Hmm?

H`mmm indeed, in fact he reminds me of a winged plague doctor, as if the model wasn't cool/creepy enough

I say go for it

This brute is either the new Cardinal Corvus (Omega Mutant) or a Mondo. The jury is still out.  I do have to admit, now that I have paint on this model, I like it much more than I thought I would.

The Children of the Wasteland

Awesome!  That is a fine looking warband.

[von Lucky]

Very nice colour choice and painting. The really look like trouble.

   Fantastic painting and converting!

Another mutant has joined the flock.  He shall be known as Brother Ne, and his shotgun shall be called Death's Herald.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Very good.

The basing is brilliant.

Novitiate Biess (left) is the warband's quartermaster and mess cook.  His specialty is mystery meat pie.  One of the pie’s mysteries is how can it hang from the novitiate's back without its crust breaking open and its contents spilling out?  

Brother Bellator (right), nicknamed 'Bean Pole Bellator,' has a skeletal frame and a voracious appetite.  No matter how much he eats, he cannot gain weight.  

The Biess and Bellator have an arrangement.  Novitiate Biess sneaks Brother Bellator extra rations and when the bullets start flying, Brother Bellator watches the diminutive novitiate’s back.
