Forkmasters Emperors Children Warband WIP!

[forkmaster]

And here comes the latest update and for the first time ever, me doing an Obliterator. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to not take some pre-pictures before stripping him of paint, because then I had no idea where to put the weapons. Most of them fitted quite well where they ended up, but the chainsword on the side is more like a "I don't give a **** anymore!" Fluffvise, I'm having a hardtime where to fit this bad boy in, if I even should. I think I'm planning to have him as a former Apothecary, turning into a chirurgeon, then a blood-crazed painexpert, only to be infected by this virus:

Ave Dominus Nox

Hail the Lord of the Night! I'm gonna order that book btw as soon as I figure whether I should go by airmail or UPS.

[forkmaster]

So here comes, what I believe, my final Emperor's Children squad. It has no direct fluff that I can be bothered to read up at the moment. After this, I will get myself a Dreadnought, Forge World or perhaps the new rumored coming this summer. Otherwise after that I will finish up my last 2 World Eaters, then begin to work on my Night Lords. I have 5 Raptors, which I did the mistake of buying as metal, then I will get 2 boxes of CSM. I ordered the NL conversion pack. Oh man its a ******** of expensives.

And the final pictures comes here:

Thank you very much.

So now its updating time! First Of I've finally managed to get a hold of Emperors Children pink colour, which means some old time EC action. I've begun with repainting my last batch of possessed, which I was rather satisefied with. I'm thinking about repainting my Chosen as well, but will have to get back on that. Right now I'm trying to get my second Rhino done, then I'm gonna sell my two home-made Obliterators + my Iron Warrios Dread as I simply don't like the plasma cannon.

Sweet models. The possessed need new rules

So here I come again, and this will perhaps be my 1st out of 2 or 3 last updates for this army. So what have I been up to? Yes, I'm done with my Raptors, I know for a certain fact I can't play with them as they are so sensitive and might fall and break, but I will buy some Finecast later. I curse myself every nigth for buying metallic ones.

While making these, I got so started up, that I simply had to start collecting the Night Lords. Its that simple. So right now my heart is torn between buying both a Night Lords and Emperors Children Drednought, or simply only the NL one. I'm also gonna try and get my hands on a Sanguinary Guard Glaive Encarmine swid for Talos. I just have to wait for bitz and kits to get one in store.

So depending on whether or not I will buy the EC Drednought, this might be my last update with actual new models. So its either the Dreadnought, or perhaps some possessed, but I will get back on that subject another time, depending on if I get separate packets for my NL or a huge army box.

I counted my EC-army, it now numbers around 3385. My problem is that I'm not certain what weapons to use on my rhinos as you will see here. My gunner I wated to try in pink and see how that went. Pretty decent in my opinion:

Sweet models. The possessed need new rules

I agree on that point, at least from what I've heard.

So here's another mash up with both Rhino Transports together:




Edit: Also I saw this the other day. Holy s**t that is not a low number anymore on my 3 oldest project logs that I still collect. As this project is coming to an end, just like my Cadian 443rd, it is sad to see them go. This thread was created a little under 1 years ago (1½ months, a few days give i or take), but I started collecting this Chaos-army army back in the spring of 2010, and I can watch back and see how my painting technique has improve somewhat very much over these 2 years. Its cool to see how you develop still. I wanted to thank everyone just.

great looking army! my only recommendation would be to paint your bases. The natural look never ever works, unless your minis are painted to a photorealistic quality. Otherwise, great work

How do you mean exactly with painting my bases?

So today is not just any day but it is my birthday!!! So happy me! To celebrate this I think I will get around to order Fear to Tread, and perhaps look into either getting more Raptors, Terminators or perhaps a Dread for my Night Lords! I don't know just yet.

Also I showed ADB, the author behind the characters my Night Lords project is based upon and he look enthusiastic about as can be seen here. I got no pictures at the moment, still working on my slog of regular Astartes. I got 8 soon to be finished at least and working on them.

[forkmaster]

So here comes my final update. I have decided I will not purchase the Sonic Dreadnought, despite how cool it looks. I feel that this army is more than enough. I will however perhaps aim for the Night Lords in a future. So this project is nos considered complete and finished. No more Emperor's Children at the moment. But before that, here are the final pictures. My Havocs were repainted as I said and here they are:

Sorry for reviving and old thread I considered to be finished, but I actually bought a EC Dreadnought so I'm currently waiting to assembly it and paint it. I got so many other models on the way.

This thread is coming back to alive again within a close future:
Forge World Arrival

By the Dark Gods, I call upon the soul of this thread as I bring back devotion to thee!

Thank you very much and I'm glad to see another fan of them! I can announce that this is the 1st out of the EC Dreads, I got a Sonic Dread waiting after this one is finished.


Here comes the 2nd last stage of this painting:
