The Lost and the Damned

I've been working on some mutants/cultists to add to my lost and the damned list.  Some of them will also serve in the khorne daemonkin army.

Kultists of Khorne - I've got quite a few more of these guys to make/paint.  I need at least 16.  Planning to give a couple of them flamers as well.  These guys are made a mix of parts from blight wheel, puppetswar, kromlech, GW flagellents and catachans.

Some other mutants:  These mutants are made using victoria lamb, maxmini and GW bits.

More renegades. Why you may ask? why not...

Yes, I created another couple of renegade units.  I had the bits and was bored so I threw them together.  Do I need them? No.  Will I use them? possible.  Where they fun to build and will be fun to paint? YES!  One of these days I will need 100+ renegades on the board and when that day comes I will be ready.

Some extra flamer throwers:

Mutants for the Lost and the Damn FW army list

The army list from the Lost and the Damned FW book has lots and lots of options.  Some good, some not so good.  Being the devotee of chaos that I am I had to make some of the new units.  I've wanted to make mutants for a long time and previously used beastmen and ungors.  I wanted to try something different this time around.  Its hard to make good mutants without spending a lot of effort and time.  Neither of which I am able to dedicate to my hobby any longer.  So I re-purposed my Victoria Lamb Penal Guard unit to become mutants.  I didn't really have a good idea so I just took flagellent arms and chopped off their hands.  Then I glued blades, flails, hooks, etc in place of the hands.  Sort of like really crummy archo-flagellents.  I threw in a few tentacles and other oddities as well.  I've got some different heads on the way that should help a bit as well.  My plan is to have 2 units of 30.  I've tried to mix in various different bits to make the unit look as though its been formed out of the remnants.

I've used bits from Victoria Lamb, Blight Wheel, Maxmini, Kromlech, GW catachans, and GW flagellents.  The other heads I have coming are from Puppetswar and Ristul.

Here they are so far:

Here's a couple of stretch goals on the way

The Green Alliance - Maxmini Kickstarter


 The Green Alliance – a full blown sci-fi orcs and goblins army geared up with WW2 US Army inspired equipment.



As many of you may know Maxmini has been creating stunning bits and miniatures for years.  I'm a big fan of their work because of the high quality and great service.  



When I first found out about this project I was very excited.  If anyone can pull off something like this its Maxmini.  They do all the design, mold making and casting in house so they have years of experience.  This also means there is no 3rd party to deal with so there are less moving parts which means turn around time will be much better.  I also know for a fact that a fair amount of the figures are already cast, most, if not all, are already designed as well.  They need some help getting the project finished up and out the door.  Its a very expensive undertaking to do a project of this scale.  Not is it expensive in terms of financial commitment but it also ties up all your design and casting resource for the duration of the project.

Take a look at some of these models.

Orc SpecOps troopers heads

Those are stunning models.  The prices are reasonable as well; great if you consider the quality you get versus some other companies.  The orc and goblin troopers look amazing and I love the half track and, what I assume, is a mini goblin tank.

Maxmini already has all the stretch goals and freebies laid out so backers will know exactly what they are getting as the project progresses.

So what are you waiting for?  Whether you want to start a new and fantastic looking army or just add some great looking models to your existing army this Kickstarter is worth supporting.  Let's help it be a smashing success!

Time for some Flash Gits

I converted these guys several years ago using Maxmini Big PA (post Apoc) guns.

I figured it was time for some paint on the merry gang of gits.

Pulsa Rokket for Apoc Games

I play fairly large games pretty often.  I've got several super heavies for the orks already but I've always loved the Pulsa Rokket.  I've got several of the original ones in fact.  They are quite small compared to this one though.

I bought this from Maxmini.  Its been out for quite a while and I have wanted one for a long time.  I know the current apoc books dont have the rules but the guys I play with are really laid back so we can usually accommodate just about anything.  So I will use the old rules and probably tweak the points a bit to reflect some of the changes to 40k and Apoc.

The casting is superb!  I was expecting it to be a little rough since its one of their earlier releases but its so crisp and clean I will have to muck it up a bit to make it more orky. :)

I love the pad lock on the cockpit so that the hapless grot can't escape.

Chaos Renegade Gunnery Sergeant Harker

I always liked the idea of Gunnery Sergeant Harker so I thought I would make one for my chaos renegades.  I had this heavy machine gun from Maxmini I wanted to use.  I tried to come up with something more unique but I just couldn't find anything I really liked so in the end I just made him look like the rest of the veterans.  I'm not sure how the rest of his squad will be kitted out.  I'm sort of thinking forward sentries, another heavy bolter and sniper rifles.  But I may just go with grenade launchers instead.  what do you think?

Small unit of Chaos Marines

I ordered these heads/shoulder pads from Puppetwars because I thought they look cool.  I really like them, very evil and twisted looking.  These would be great for Iron Warriors, Fabius Bile's augmented CSM or just about any other units but I think those two are great.  I may order another set and flush out the unit.

The melta gun is from Maxmini, I just like the alternate look of the gun.





I want my tzeench termies to have combi plasma guns.  But such a thing doesn't exist.  So using the combi flamer and the plasma bit off the obliterator sprues I made this.  I'm sure if I like it or not.  Looks sort of like a hack job, which it is, but I dont have a ton of time any more.  So I'm wondering if you think it looks good enough to get by with.

Chaos Space Marine Raptors

Before the new CSM Raptors came out I had built my own.  I really didn't care for the older ones and I just wanted CSM with jump packs.  I wanted them to be followers of khorne.  I finally finished putting them together.  The jump packs are from maxmini (yes I love their bits).  Oh yeah, I also used their Nuclear Guns for my melta guns.

I think they turned out pretty good.  The new rules for them with the mark of Khorne and the Icon make them pretty fast and hard hitting.
