Typhus - Back Where I Belong

This is the first model I've painted in some time, and the first
model for my Death Guard in even longer.  I feel like I've been gone too
long.

I've been notable by my virtual absence. Sorry.

Whattup fellow followers of the dark gods?

Once again, I've been a bit absent, as real life has been getting in the way again.

Still, I suppose it's only approximately 38,000 years 'til shit starts poppin' off big time for real. I can't wait.

Rather than doing fun stuff, I've been mending plaster in the spare room and... being a bit lazy. I'm not going to lie to you, there have been evenings where I could've got out the paints or the glue, but just watched TV instead.  What can I say? Boardwalk Empire series 4 and Sons of Anarchy series 6 have been some pretty gripping stuff!

If anyone is actually interested, I had a 1000 point game on saturday against my mate Chris' Orks. And this evening I have made up my first bit of terrain ever, but alas there is as yet no table to put it on. And also this evening I got part way through converting up a Chaos Lord. So I'm probably not totally dead inside yet.

The Battle for Avignon Primaris (part #237)

T'other day, I met up with Chris for a pre-Xmas game of 40k. Fairly small scale. 1250 points of my Death Guard & Word Bearers chaos marines vs his Snakebite orks. It was a great bit of fun.

Here's some pictures of what went down on the mean streets of Avignon Primaris...

Two boar trukkz careen down the streets of Avignon
Primaris

I love these trukk conversions - great fun!

A squad of Death Guard marines discover "nothing of note" for 3 Victory
points in the shell of a bombed out building.

In what is now a traditional face off in our games, my
Possessed brace themselves to face off against a trukk-
load of Ork Nobz and accompanyin Pain Boy.

Another squad of Death Guard marines shelter by an abandoned
Bane Blade.

The Pig Mek's Cyboar Riderz roar through the wreckage of a downed
Valkyrie. Unfortunately, several of their number fail dangerous terrain
tests while attempting "jumpy trickz".

Captured by servo-skull, here we see a Death Guard squad guarding a Grav
Generator for 3 Victory points.

Euphraxes, Word Bearers exalted Lord of Chaos advances, supported by
a squad of Word Bearers marines and two chaos spawn.

The Possessed champion has been forced into
throwing out a challenge to Ork Nob, 'Ard Barry.
Alas, neither his power armour or invulnerable
save were up to the task of surviving a blow from
'Ard Barry's Power Claw.

The Fly Blown, Daemon Prince of Nurgle (until I think up a better name) and
the possessed mix it up with some Orks and a Pain Boy. Check out his witch-
doctor mask and 'urty needle.

Euphraxes challenges the leader of the Cyboar unit to single combat. Unfortunately this "puny beaky"
swiftly ended matters in a rather decisive manner, earning multiple Boons from the Chaos Boons table.

Euphraxes, Lord of Chaos

I've spent a bit of time over the last few evenings working on the Chaos Lord model from the Dark Vengeance box.

I've decided to paint him up to go with the Word Bearers  marines (the Tony version) I've been working on, which are the Chosen from the Dark Vengeance box.

I've named this guy Euphraxes, and I've painted his rather large sword to represent a Daemon Weapon. As to the True Name of the foul denizen of the warp that is imprisoned within the blade, of that I cannot speak, lest the beast be unleashed.

Chaos Lord of Nurgle - birthday present

So, it was my birthday the other day, and my bestest oldest friend made this for me as a present.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this up - I think it's ace.

Mad props to Tom Nicholson - "you the man", as they say in that American street poetry that's so popular these days.
