LOTS of Pics - 9,000pt Game, Nurgle etc etc

A BIG photo update for the weekend.

First some shots of the 9,000pt game i played with Rob and Ian earlier in the week at the Wargamestore:

The Salamanders arrive via drop pod

The state of play at the half-way point. Lots of speedbumps for tanks, but still everything to play for (check out the old skool landraiders, rhinos and predators)

The endgame - a draw

and now for some Nurgle:

Firstly, here is the big cheese himself, Typhus. I've been reading The Flight of the Eisenstein this week, so I felt suitable inspired to paint him up last night and this morning. I'm really happy with him - especially loving the purple & yellow pus dripping all over him.

More details on the purple and yellow pus. The top of the termi armour looks really great: nice and festering. Speaking of festering, here are my plaguebearers:

I just have 6 more to paint to make 21 in total.

Again, I'm really loving the dried blood on the weapons and on their bodies.

More coming soon...

1.6k of Salamanders are Complete

I've been working on 1.6k of Salamanders for a few months now and thought that they would make a great introductory post as I'm really happy with how they turned out:

HQ: Vulkan He'stan

Elites: 3 Dreadnoughts (Brothers Iccio, Adso & Adelmo)

Troops: 4 Tactical Squads

Transports: 7 Drop Pods

I've enjoyed painting them although I'd forgotten how much i hate painting vehicles (esp. drop pods). Luckily i already had some assembled and I was able to buy a couple more fully assembled, but not painted, from the bay of e for only a couple of quid more than they would have been new (more money but none of the hassle of assembling). I also love the bases, that I got from over at Dark Art Miniatures
