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

Eight more cultists I did up real quick yesterday.

Nice

Lovely thread, seeing painted whole armies is so much joy.

[Elbows]

That reminds me...haven't taken army shots in a long time. I'll have to do that!

"Barkeep, who's the fella with the stelar moustache?"

"That'd be Khyrum Saal..."

This is Khyrum Saal, the Chapter Master of my Wandering Sons renegade chapter.  I'll be filling out the fluff and lore when I start chronicling our narrative campaign for 40K soon.  Short version? He's a gruff (and rather large) Chapter Master of the Wandering Sons - a chapter who was originally sent on the Abyssal Crusade, deep into the Eye of Terror.  Stranded on a distant world inside the Eye, the Wandering Sons were saved when the secretive lodge made a pact with Chaos.

Khyrum wasn't such a fan, but saw it as a chance to return to the Imperium and seek answers and not a small amount of vengeance.  He's at odds with the portions of the Wandering Sons who've taken more interest in the tainted Chaos teachings.  He's slain several tainted marines who challenged his position...so there's an uneasy truce between the more twisted types and Khyrum and his less-plagued brothers.

I've got a rules datasheet for him which I'll post when it's finalized - want to test him out a few times.

Excellent.

Oktos, Exalted Champion of Chaos.

Oktos represents the head of the "true believers", putting him squarely at odds with Chapter Master Khyrum Saal.  His plague marines, cultists, and fellow believers paint their armour in homage to the Death Guard, still maintaining Legionary traditions such as the lodge.  It remains a mystery why Oktos and his believers have not used their Chaos allies to overthrow Khyrum Saal and take full control of the Wandering Sons.

I got dreadfully tired of painting Space Marines (burned out) and returned to...more Dire Avengers (I now have thirty of these lads and ladies).

I think you rushed your first batch, but the second batch came out a lot better. Might be the photography, I'm not sure.

[Elbows]

 

Same models, thankfully.

[Elbows]

The last models of 2017 most likely - some scraps of units sitting on the desk.  A few Dark Reaper exarchs (based on the awful 2nd version models), and some more scouts to fill out squads, etc.

[von Lucky]

Lovely painting.

As an aside - I thought the Eldar would be a race into ergonomics and OH&S concerns, those Reaper launchers look unwieldly to aim with and are sure to cause back issues. Unless you're fighting in low-G environments. Anyway, I digress, lovely painting.

[Elbows]

Oh, I agree.  I just needed Exarchs with an alternate weapon - and that's all the bits I had laying around.  I don't much like the models themselves, but I don't use anything on the table unless I have proper models for them.  I fully agree with the poor aesthetics.  Maybe I'll fix them in the future.

Great work!
