Hey guys!

Two models down this week, another Fallen and a Chaos Spawn to spice things up!

The Fallen is pretty much more of what you've all been seeing so far. That said, he does have a nice little cleaver strapped to his leg:

This Chaos Spawn reminds me of a dragon for some reason. Probably the "wings", horned head and almost orangey skin-colour... His arm is a warped mixture of flesh and steel, shaping into a sword. The mace-like ends of the tentacles have a similar painting scheme going on too:

I didn't get around to finishing off his base in time for pics to be posted, although it'll be done as soon as the glue dries up fully.

I'm pretty happy with how he turned out in the end! Spawn seem to be easy to paint, and when they give off a specific vibe (Like my good old dragon-buddy here), it just adds to their character and makes me appreciate them that much more.

Lastly, a sneak-peek at what will be next weeks offering! My first Fallen HQ, a Nurgle Sorceror:

You might have seen him before in a previous post, albeit with a power sword instead of the nice little scythe. I know it's more of a Death Guard thing, but I figured that it was far more fitting than a simple sword. That, and the sword bent a little while he was in my suitcase...

The scythe was made from a Warhammer Fantasy Marauder spears lower half and the upper half of a Chaos Warriors melee weapon. I think it suits him far better than the sword, which was really just tacked on to differentiate him from any loyalist Turmiels out there!

Anyway, until next week...

G'luck!

Hey guys!

Two weeks have gone by since the last update, but now I'm back in Ireland and finally have enough time to myself to finally get stuck into project Fallen.

I also got my hands on the Black Legion and Crimson Slaughter supplements, as well as the Chaos Daemons codex while over in America. I haven't really gotten into the Chaos Daemons codex much yet, but it's certainly a good bit different from any normal codex. Between Daemonic instability, random wargear and a table that changes the battlefield every turn, I think it sounds like a fun codex to play with. Between the two supplements, the Crimson Slaughter one has way better fluff. I found it very interesting to read, and it even convinced me to start up a mini Crimson Slaughter army!

I have a few ideas for other projects too, since compartmentalising makes painting such a big backlog of models a lot less daunting.

So we've got:

• Project Fallen (That's the current one)
• Project Chaos (Chaos Space Marines. I'll throw a party when this one is done!)
• Project Fallout (Just the twenty or so Fallout models)
• Project Daemon (I haven't got that many to get through, thank god!)
• Project Crimson Slaughter (Any Chaos stuff from Dark Vengeance, plus a squad of possessed)
• Project Reborn
• Project Raptor
• Project Cultist
• Project ORKZ!
• Project Plague

Fallen, Fallout, Daemon and Crimson Slaughter are self-explanatory and have a note beside them to explain what they are anyway, however... 

• Project reborn is where I use green stuff to 'Nurglify' some mini's that were over-zealously basecoated. I'll be replacing some of the pieces on the miniatures that are too smeared with spray to look in any way good. I figure I'll get around to this sometime later in this backlog.

• Project Raptor will be where I take about ten of my old Assault Marines and "Raptorise" them into Raptors using green stuff! I'll be buying some new modelling tools form my local hobby store to sort these dudes out. I don't have a great deal of experience with green stuff yet, so I'm hoping that this project will get me going in that department!

• Project Cultist is both where I paint all of my cultists, and also convert my Warhammer Fantasy Battle miniatures into cultists. I got the idea from the Grave Guard-style cultists I made before. Depending on how they look though, I might just use this as a project for painting all the cultists.

• Project ORKZ! is just where I paint all of my Orks. They consist of the Assault on Black Reach set, a squad of Boyz and a squad of Grotz. This one will be tackled after everything else, since I'm not too pushed about my Orkz.

• Project Plague will be where I convert some Warhammer Fantasy Warriors of Chaos into plague marines! They'll essentially look something like this guys conversion: linky, but with bolters and generally more chaotic/rusted looking.

Anyway, projects aside, I actually had a Noise Marine almost painted before I left, and had some free time to paint up another Fallen. Enjoy!

Hey guys!

Two weeks without an update! Unfortunately, I've been busy again lately, although I did get a miniature painted last week anyway.

Introducing, the Watcher in the Warp!

And of course, this weeks model, which I enjoyed painting quite a bit. The Fallen squad champion!

Admittedly, he does look a bit Iron Warrior-y in these images. But he does look a lot more like he fits the part in real life.

And everything so far:

See you next week!
