Holiday Gaming!

         I have received some cigar box battle-mats for Christmas and they are fantastic!
Here are some photos of them.

I set them up with some of my terrain and 6mm Modern Micro Armour minis. The mat is very versatile and I love how to make it geomorphic by just putting cut pieces of Styrofoam insulation under the mat to make hills and valleys.

The Slaughter Cult is incoming!

I picked up the Khorne Deamonkin book recently and decided to do some painting! I have several Chaos space marine squads and berzerker squads from way back that I never really finished. I decided to paint them up based off a scheme I found in the book. I chose the white accents on black and deep red. It seemed a much better scheme to use so as to not be confused with my Blood Angels. I really like the scheme as it gives a bloody, dark,vicious feel to the army!

I picked up a few extra boxes to round out some and before I knew it I had another large army to paint!
1 Converted AOS Khorne warlord
36 ish Khorne berzerkers
40 ish Chaos Space Marines
10 Terminators
10 Bloodletters
2 Chaos lords
1 Converted Abaddon
3 Hellbrutes
1 Predator
7 ish Chosen
1 HUGE Bloodthirster for UltraForge.
60 Cultists
10 Warp Talons
20 Beastmen Gors (thinking use as bloodletters because I really like the models and remember somewhere Khorne has beastmen running around!)

I have about 1/3 to 1/4 painted up so far and am bouncing back and forth with different armies trying to finish them off and get table-top ready.

 Here are a couple pictures of my terminator with autocannon.

Two Squad leaders.

I really like the bone white weapons and helmet.

Chaos Marines have such awesomely detailed models! Yuge fan of the axe

The deamon in his armor plates was fun to paint.

Adeptus Mechcanicus!

I purchased an army worth of Skitarii last spring on the cheap through e-bay. I bought 3 getting started boxes, two Kastelan Robot boxes, two Skitarii Vanguard squad boxes, 4 Ruststalkers/Infiltrators boxes, and finally (but not least) a Renegade box with 2!! Imperial Knights! Included in the getting started boxes were 3 Skitarii Ranger squads, 3 Onager Duncrawlers, and 3 Tech Priest Dominus.

My paint scheme was going to be a cobalt blue and deep blue with white highlights but after painting a squad of Vanguard and a Kastelan I didn't like it. So I switched over to a Ryza style paint scheme using Vallejo game color "orange fire" as my orange. Whew... it really make the model POP!

Here you can see the blue scheme vs the orange one.

Much more eye catching!

A Ruststalker.

Here you can see the vast difference between the color schemes. I REALLY like the orange fire color. I used Army Painter red wash to shade the orange and vallejo cavalry brown as the red accent. I ended up using the cobalt blue as ground color as they are fighting over a rich mineral world searching for STC's!

WIP one of the Imperial Knights. I used different colors so I could use him in other armies.

The Color scheme for the Knight is: Armor Plates- Vallejo US Olive Drab, Vallejo Cav Brown for the reds, Vallejo Buff for the creamy white, Vallejo Bronze highlighted with Old Gold for the guilding and Oily Steel for the regular metal parts. I used Army Painter Strong Wash over the whole model except the Buff parts as it made it too brown.
