Ninja-star slingin' panzees (Nurgle vs. Eldar!)

[Elbows]

Got in a real slugfest of a game with my buddy John last night - another chapter in our continually evolving narrative campaign.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

And another five standard issue Chaos Space Marines.  Trying to fill out squads properly.

These are nice, the common head design brings them all together. Where did you get that style head?

[Elbows]

They're from one of the Skitarii kits, I'm not sure which - Vanguard or Rangers or something.  They're an option for one of their infantry boxes.  I just keep an eye on eBay and buy them (granted a bit expensive to do it that way, but worth it).  Also, the heads are smaller than a normal space marine helmet, so it actually makes the proportions of the marine look better to me.

Hmm, Eldar helping out Chaos. What have the Farseers forseen? I like how the green river/sludge breaks up the game mat and the new platform cross ways along with the bridges.

Yep, and almost no one used the walkways! 

I'll be doing up the narrative aspect of the campaign sometime and you'll see why Eldar showed up in the same place...

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Thanks, they are the Vanguard ones (knowing what to look for helps ^__^).

I disliked my older Plague Marine squad (white with red x's) so I sold them off on eBay and finally got around to replacing them.  In retrospect I think I dislike the Maxmini heads I've used, because they're way too big and have the opposite effect of the smaller Vanguard heads.  I'll be keeping this squad though as it doesn't bug me too much.  This squad is armed with two Blight Launchers and the Champion is sporting a power fist and a plasma gun.  A lot of firepower for a seven-man squad (note: most squads in my army are seven-men, due to Nurgle worship...)

Malavyn Saal, Dark Apothecary of the Wandering Sons (uses Fabius Bile's rules).



Malavyn Saal is from the same ancient blood caste of Khyrum Saal, but he was the leader of the secretive lodge within the chapter which originally made its pact with Nurgle.  The two never speak directly to each other, both at odds yet in a tenuous alliance.

Zoriskos, Leviathan Dreadnought of the Wandering Sons.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice.

I agree, the colour choice is stunning on a large piece like this. Well done (particularly that diamond!).

[Elbows]

I'll be taking some better pics shortly - it's tough to photograph something white with that background.  I was unsure about the diamond until I did it, and it looks better in person than in the pics.  Obviously with the Death Guard homage colour scheme, Zoriskos is part of the "bad" portion of the chapter, led by Malavyn Saal above.  The non-super-Chaos guys still outnumber the Nurgle cult models in the army, but the white armoured guys are no slouches.

[Elbows]

Some glamour shots...lost interest pretty quick (feeling crappy tonight), but will take some more tomorrow I'd imagine.

[Elbows]

A few additional shots.

The Nurgle stuff looks nice.
But those Eldar are Spectacular!!! They look so good on the terrain. Very not-of-this-world, which is perfect for otherworldly creatures of alien magic and ancient technology.
