Return to the Grimdarkyness: The 17th Traitor Mech- Traitor Guard (Update 15/10)

[Chico]

So I made a complete u-turn after many years away (In various other ''scenes'') and once again started modern 40k gaming with the release of 8th Edition.

For the last couple of months I made do with what I had, a pre-Heresy Emperor's Children force which survived the various selling purges that I often go though and I even painted up and bought extra bits for it.

Anyway I've been taken enough to actually start collecting a new force, one I had a decade ago but sold on.

Yep you read the title so guess it, Traitor Guard.

So here's the first bits done,

Small update and full Blog Post here: http://oldhammeronabudget.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/warhammer-40k-17th-traitor-mech-reborn_7.html

As most people know I'm a Treadhead and love seeing my armoured behemoths grinding down the battlefield crushing all before their armoured might.. Ahem, sorry I had a special moment there...

So here's the first Traitor Tank done continuing with the grubby dirty look:

I also finished off some more Traitor Guard/Cultists, again speed painting them as I have far too many of the gits too do.

Fantastic Khorne ogryn! Traitor Guard are such a great concept and appealing looking force. In 8th edition all those lasguns are gonna carry some clout, too. Really looking forward to seeing how this one progresses >

Thanks bud, I have always loved the idea of Traitor Guard since first reading the first Gaunt's Ghosts books around the early 2000's. As mentioned I sold on my first version on this force so it's nice to redo it again with everything I wanted from the first force just updated

As for shooting I doubt they'll be any good as they removed Militia Training from this addition so most my force hits on 5's or 6's if moving with a Heavy Weapon .

I have to agree, traitor guard in the Ghosts series are a really exciting concept - more so than the actual guard themselves. Astra Militarum be damned - they will always be the Imperial Guard!

Good luck with the project, looks like a goody

So a rather large update, I've been busy painting so rather then do lots of little updates this will be everything wacked together in a Army Shot.

As always full post here: http://oldhammeronabudget.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/warhammer-40k-17th-traitor-mech-reborn_13.html

GAH! Kill it with fire! Burn the heretics!

Seriously though, those look AWESOME!

That seems to be going around...

[Legionnaire Bert]

Stunning, beautiful work 

[Chico]

Thanks lads, these are good fun so far but feck me I'm used to painting skirmish level forces and these are starting make me wish for a smaller forces hehe

Least with resin bases I'm skipping the horror of basing everything...

[Chico]

Wow almost 2 weeks since I last posted! Sadly my Hobby mojo went and fecked off when I once again lost my job and joined the unwashed masses.

Still I have painted a few bits and built some others so it hasn't all been quite at Castle Chico.

As always full Blog post here: http://oldhammeronabudget.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/warhammer-40k-17th-traitor-mech-reborn_23.html

But here's a few pictures to get you all hot and bothered:







As always thanks for looking and comments always welcome.

Not really a update of sorts (That'll be in the next few days or so) but I did order these from The Dice Shop:
