Big long absence, I know. Been actually watching a lot of football and playing games on Sunday. It feels so right to play Bloodbowl while watching Nuffle. But I've actually managed to build some stuff:
My "Huron Blackheart" model:
Base body is Pedro Kantor, with all the Crimson Fists iconography filed off. The head is from the SM sprue (cybernetic body for the 5+ Inv save). The sword is a WFB Chaos Knight sword (power weapon + personal icon). The "Plasma Caster" is the heavy flamer built into the power fist.The henchman with the tank is from the Scibor line, with the flame from the Malifaux line (I think it's actually called the Purifying Flame). The tank fuels both the plasma caster and the model's cybernetic body.
Chaos Sorcerer:
Body is Cypher with a WFB Chaos Knight weapon (his Force Weapon) & some space marine arms. The book is his personal icon. He's a (very) Radical Inquisitor who's responsible for all the bound demons.Accompanying the Inquisitor is the possession squad, so called because it has the Possession Monkey Aspiring Champion (seen here). I decided at the last minute to buy the Dark Angel veterans squad to match the Inqusitor. Also, in theme, they all have spell books. The Icon of Nurgle is the big giant book. Spells of stasis and abjuration providing the +1 Toughness. So they're not nurgley, but just enchanted.
(and yes, I made little lengths of chain for each guy. Gluing chains 3-links long was a bitch.)The Chosen squad will be up next.
Did you rebuild the 4 with the plasmaguns?
ReplyDeletelooks very nice, the leader with the books looks a little awkward, but I like the overall effect on the squad.
ReplyDeleteTrent: I currently have the chosen marines sans arms. Put on bolters before I remembered they get plasma guns.
ReplyDeletePete: which the chaos sorcerer?
Sorcer looks good, the squad leader holding the book open with his other hand holding another tome, I think (flash makes it hard to decipher) Get a couple of books and try to hold them that way, even in power armor you're gonna be in trouble (on the bright side, I'm picturing a cult leader trying to do that in battle, very amusing image)
ReplyDeletePete: heh. So the dude holding giant tomes is unrealistic, but the fact that he's a genetically engineered mutant wearing a nuclear-power suit of exo-armor with plates so big he couldn't reach around to grab one of the 500 clips he should be carrying (but obviously isn't) for the logistical nightmare that is his Boltgun, that gets a pass?
ReplyDelete;-)
Exactly, glad we're on the same page.
