Kytan Demon Engine - WIP part 1 - "Skulls or blood?"

Finally back posting on the blogg, and this time with a cool simple conversion for the Kytan Demon Engine of Khorne. Very work in progress still and only about half done, but finally getting there and back on the hobby table.

 

 

 Have had a couple of Kytan engines in a box of shame for ages and came across the idea of combinign them with the AOS Endless Spells weapons. A simple cut witha  jewlers saw and some pinning and bam! new weapon for the arm of each one and a really niced matched scale.

Luckily there is the big axe and scythe so I could convert up one of each, I then replaced the heads with a ghostly skull from the same AOS endless spells kit.

For base coating and metals I used an airbrush to put down a black then a dark tone silver, followed up by a zenith lighter silver. This was all then washed twice with the amazing Army Painter Dark Tone wash thinned down with some flow improver. 

Group shot with the incoming Brass Scorpion as well!

Cerastus Knight Atrapos finally done...... well, mostly done.

For once I have actually finished a project! I got this sexy Atrapos last year and have been tinkering at it for a while now in between armies. I was using it mostly for my 30k forces but as I am winding it down into more 8th edition 40k.

The biggest tip of course is paint your Knights armor plates separate and please for the love of god make a big center piece model like this have a cool pose!!! I see way to many fantastic paint jobs on these big models ruined by the static and utterly boring poses, put some love into it! I themed this guy around a rogue or rebel Mechanicus force, so lots of suspicious runes and techno jargon symbols instead of the usual numbers and imperial symbols, anyway hope you like it!

Horus Heresy 30k Event Report "Face of Oblivion": Myrmidons and the Mad Magos march to war. Warning! Post may contain army pics galore!

Trip report from the EyeofHorusPodcast event "Face of Oblivion"

Once again Brisbane has shown its strong 30k form with another awesome event. Tim and Michael from the Eye of Horus Podcast hosted a 1 day event at the Magic Vault here in sunny Brizvegas and as always it was a hit.

I was lucky enough to grab an invite and as this was a Centurion/Zone Mortalis event I quickly threw together some infantry based lists for my Traitor Dark Mechanicus forces. I am heavily leaning towards running a full Myrmidon cult army in the near future and this was the perfect event to try some more Myrmidon units out, they did not disappoint! I took the Mad Malagra Magos Prime again as my HQ and he personally slew two Alpha Legion Praetors in single combat and wrecked anything else that got close enough including a captured Ork Warboss that a GM dropped into one of my games! The combo of a paragon blade on a Magos combined with rad grenades and a rad furnace ensures instant death AP2 attacks all over the shop and a chainfist for back up with vehicles.

Now have some photos of all the amazing fully painted armies!

Big shout out to the Eye of Horus crew for running such a sweet event with great terrain and tables! not to mention the fluff and flavor they put in with all the campaign and rule sets on the day.
