By that sin fell the angels. How can man then, the image of his maker hope to win by it?

Warhammer Chapel - Scenery

With my recent move away from my previous FLGS I have found a scarcity of places to play 40k in the area. I have also had the chance to teach a few coworkers to play over the last few weeks, and in doing so required a game board.  My idea for the board is to use the Warhammer Fantasy scenery to construct a small religious complex...something fit for a Daemon force to assault.

I also, really love the contrast between the old world style of Fantasy with the sci fi high tech 40k universe.  Naturally, if I get into Fantasy I can use this board for fantasy games as well.  Here is my first (ever) building - I magnetized the torches and the crescent moon because they looked likely to break off during game use.

Daemonettes Update!

Two updates in one day is craziness, but I have to thank the in-laws for cooking all day, listening to Christmas carols and humoring me as I spend the day painting in the corner.

With the test model successfully executed, I decided to start in on the Daemonette unit.  For this unit I am taking a different tactic, mainly I am painting each miniature start to finish rather than assembly line style.  This makes it a bit less tedious for me.  When I do have some time while washes dry, I start the basecoats of another model.

Here are the first three models.


Daemonette Test Model

My painting activities of late have been a bit mixed.  Primarily because I mentally ran out of steam on some of the larger projects (the two Soul Grinders) and because I am concurrently working on a new game board - actually this is the only board I will have!  I will try to provide an update on that later, but for now I want to show off a test model for my Daemonettes.  Since I am at the in-laws this week for the Holidays, I thought it was best to leave the Slaanesh Daemon Princess at home, also I am debating on how to construct her wings right now, but more on that later.
