Driller's Grim Armies

[driller]

I'm very much aware that LAF is not particularly 40k-friendly, because of understandable reasons (GW acting like corporate a-holes, etc.), but it IS my favorite wargaming related message board, so what am I supposed to do, should I not post here these pics of my newly painted 40k figures - a game I have yet to play even once!

Of course not. So here we go - everything 40k-related by yours truly (as I have mentioned in other, previous threads, I started painting early 2012, up until that point I didn't even know what wargaming is! Now... I'm a fan, to say the least.)

Two wolfguards - in my WIP space wolf army all the figures will be without helmets, thus giving them even more personality



Two grey hunters



Inquisitor Frankenstein with Demonhost (A Helldorado Figure with a Heresy Miniatures head + a Malifaux Enslaved Nephilim)
The inquisitor's head is not this yellow in "real life", I don't know what I screwed up...

Grim but gorgeous.

You paint very well.

I like your use of other available figures and body-parts in your composition.

Goodness all around.

Dude very nice!! Keep posting!! More please, after all not all 'hate' all GW. Well maybe the top brass for total bonehead moves taking greed to new highs or lows etc. But the minis are NICE.

[driller]

Thanks, guys, your praise means a lot! More coming up soon

Great looking miniatures dude. Love those Wolfguard. Bloody great for someone who's only been painting 2 years.

Also they've released some shockingly bad mini's recently. Space Marine Telly-termies, that huge Khorne childrens toy thing, Space Marine Fisher Price Gunship etc. But some nice ones too, I guess. Really like the newest plastic Plaguebearers for example. Warhammer plastic Nurgle Lord too.

Thanks a bunch! Actually the wolfguard has extensive greenstuff work done on them, which is impossible to see from this genius angle... I want my wolves to look like primal, hulking, almost primitive in their appearance, and thus I gave them and will give future wolf guards heavy pelt cloaks onto their backs.

These look really nice. After only two years of painting you have done an amazing job.
I don't hate GW all the time. They're like an old friend that bags on you behind your back because you don't come around anymore. I still paint my old figures and will occasionally pick up a new model if it looks good. I just don't want to play their game anymore.

A small update featuring the enemy (I'm doing a Space Wolves army, an Inquisitorial retinue and a Plague Marine army simultaneously. The only armies I have 100% finished are the Dark Angels and Crimson Slaughter forces from the DV boxset, which will act as allies to the bigger Space Wolf and Plague Marine armies, respectively.)

I don't normally go in for "goo" on models but it gives these a very John Blanche look I think. 

Well done!

[driller]

That's exactly what I was going for! Thans!

[Commander Vyper]

Yup nice..... your blanche-itsu is strong!

[Diakon]

Excellent. Really nice colours, goo and well based. Those are some excellent Plague Marines. What bits were used? Mainly curious about the bottom left guy's torso.

[Sendak]

Mighty!

Plague-ridden-goodness; an oxymoron?

Admirably, well managed slime and goo.

Overall, just despicable, horrid, and cursed.

Now, Frag 'em all!!!!

I really think you're on a roll with your paints and miniatures presentation, very imaginative.

I *think* it's a CSM possessed torso, but I'm not a 100% on that...
