130. Boon of Mutation. Tzeetch Disciples part 10.

While doing the shields I also did some work on the Warriros...
Usually I'm not a huge fan of mutations on models, but I felt that some well placed, thematic/ relevant mutations here and there would really sell the Tzeentch and CHaos theme of the Warriors, who are a little too 'clean' usually.

Speaking of, the 5 'clean' Warriors.



Just a little Green Stuff work to fill in the mold lines on the fur.

The next 5 were my 'front rank.'
Back in the old Warhammer Fantasy Days, the front 5 models usually formed the first rank and therefore had to be slightly better looking XD



This was a simple kitbash; I took a bit from the 40K possessed Chaos Space Marines to replace his combat weapon.

The next was also a quick kitbash, taking the head from the Chaos Spawn kit



As for my 'Command,' I have a musician; using the head from the old metal Chaos Space Marine Lord model...



The squad leader/ vertan/ sergant/ champion



And finally my personal favortie, the banner bearer.





For this guy I sculpted my own tentacle arm to hold the banner pole.
This was done by using my usual Green Stuff Mix and using the rolling tool made by Green Stuff World.

And that's the whole unit built.



Left the shield and banner off for painting (like that'll happen)

And with that, my 1000 pts Aos army is fully built.
Since building it, I've changed a few of the spells and items round, but I'm fairly happy with the list.
It is really fun to play with, and I'd like to think it represents the narrative I've set for the army quite well.
Though, I do plan on going back to it at some point and having a tinker around here and there, see if I can't make it a bit more fitting.

But that's all for now.
Remember, if you want to see what I'm currently working on, I'm much more active on Instagram, and I stream painting sessions on my Twitch, so click those links for more stuff!

Catch you soon

129. Mystic Shield. Tzeentch Disciples part 9.

Yeah, more form the 'catching up with stuff I've already finished' set of pictures

I got round to 'Tzeetchifying' all of my Warriors of Chaos.

One of the ways I wanted to do this was by adding some Tzeentch iconography to the models.
The easiest way I could think of was to convert the shields.

I'd seen the awesome Tzeetch Shields from Silver Tower and decided to nab some stuff from that.
I used some blue stuff to make some press molds...



... and then just 'printed' some shield details



A little bit of chain to give it a more traditional warriors of Chaos aesthetic.



And the shields are all done!



On to the actual Warriors!

128. Lore of Fate. Tzeentch Disciples part 8.

So apparently I've had a god chunk of photos uploaded for a while of stuff I'd been working on.

I'm going to work through them in the next few weeks to bring you up to speed!

So you may remember I was working through my Age of Sigmar Tzeentch Army; making custom basses and such.

Well, I've done a considerable amount of work on them over the course of a few months.

Here is a bit of a work in progress shot of one of my Chaos Tzeentch Sorcerers.



I've continued the 'nebula' esq theme I did on the tester model on this guy too...
I kinda want all of the army to this aesthetic in one way or another.





I've also borrowed very heavily from the old school thousand son aesthetic of blue and gold.
I think it blends in wlel with the Silver Tower theme and the nebula scheme.

I have actually finished this guy.
You'll get a 'Hall of Honour' post soon ;)

127. Testing Terryn. Imperial Knight part 4.

As always, let's start this off with...
I KNOW I'VE BEEN AWAY A WHILE

Sorry folks, I've just been not great at stuff.
I'm trying to get back into things, so stay tuned to my various outlets for more info.

On to hobby talk.

So, the new 40k came out...

I'm not totally sold yet.
Mechanically I can deal, however, it currently lacks flavor.
This is something I think the new Codex books will add in, and when they do, I'll be back in it.

But until then, I think I'm mainly gonna play AOS, Bloodbowl and other stuff.
To that end I've mainly been doing some AOS painting.

If you follow me on Instagram you've probably already seen a lot of this, but I'm posting here because I probably should have done that to start with.


So, the first thing back here will be the earliest painted thing I guess


The Imperial Knight .


I finally decided on a scheme ( I think XD )
I'm going for house Terryn, but with a significantly higher contrasting colours; more depth, gradients and richer colours all around.


This is my tester shoulder pad (I for some reason ad one spare)




I'm also not a big fan of the Terryan transfers.
I know there is a third party resin pad available, but it just doesn't quite look right to me, so I decided to have a 'quick' go at free handing the iconography.











I know the eagle isn't quite right, and the Diamonds are also placed slightly weirdly, but then, this is why we do tester models, right?

That's all for now.

40k updates may be less frequent, but I've got a chunk of other stuff to throw up here, so stay tuned Underhivers!
