Early work on a converted sorcerer themed around the Warhammer Fantasy city of Mousillon, the corrupted city of Bretonnia, ruled by vampires and worse.

Idea is to go for something of a necromancer knight theme with this guy, while other such characters will lean more towards the arthurian knight or vampire knight aesthetic. If I get around to doing an army on the theme it'll mostly be zombies and daemons I expect. I can't do too many marines because it's a pain to get bretonnian bits these days since their line was discontinued.

Here I'd stolen all of the unhelmeted heads from a KotR box in order to make camo veterans.
If you were within a few thousand meters of me I could have hooked you up.

Looks damn good though. I should get my next piece together.


Edit: Just bought dawn of war 3 for ten bucks.
I mean, I acknowledge the bad press as well as the fact it cost me pocket change... but it's still kind of difficult to enjoy.
Somehow it's too hero-intensive to be a RTS like DoW 1 and too chaotic to be an iso-RPG like DoW 2.
Eh. Maybe I'm just bad at strategy games.

Oops

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Nah, GWS just bad at having people MAKE their strategy games.

[LordBaal]

Total Warhammer and DoW were brilliant, as Armada and for what is seem so far Armada 2.

I keep saying, we need a Total Warhammer 40k with land battles the like of Wargame: red dragon, naval battles of Armada and commando raids that are like DoW 2.

That would be the perfect game.

*sigh* I think eventually they might figure it out... but... idk man... one step forwards and two steps back yknow?

Finished my Mousillon themed sorcerer.

Very happy with how he turned out, now I just need to figure out what models I can use to pull together some more vampire marines.

Been a few days so I figured I'd just doublepost.

My second Mousillon Marine is finished. Not entirely satisfied with the chest being so plain but I don't want to just cram skulls or something on and only putting up with the flag because it's too much effort to keep fixing and refixing a black on yellow fleur de lis. Still, he looks fine from a distance and goes well with his sorcererous brother.

Gave him a plasma pistol to keep him roughly in line with Blightbringer wargear, as that's his intended role in my space vampire Death Guard.

If I ever revisit him I'm probably going to focus on changing his flag up so that it's a ghost face or something so I don't have to feel disgruntled about my lack of freehand skills.

[Loud Whispers]

Ok that is seriously nice

Skaw the Falconer (arguably the Warhammer world's most enthusiastic pigeon fancier - no, not that kind of fancying!) .... £5.00 each

Given that Slaanesh is a thing, I'm not sure I want to know what kind of fancying they're talking about.

[spazyak]

How is the repulsor tank? Been thinking of buying one just based off how it looks but I want to know how it is in game.

[Grim Portent]

Not good last I heard. Never fought one myself and don't have a space marines 'dex, but they never seem to be spoken of in good terms.

[Radio Controlled]

@Grim those figs look pretty good! Normally I'm more of a 'less is more' type, but you're entirely right that the chestpiece needs something in the middle to make the figure come together. Perhaps something as simple as a Chaos 8-pointer star could work?

As for the flag, uh, maybe get some thick paper, draw on the figure you want, then cut it out with a precision knife and use it to paint on the flag? Dunno if that's a workable solution, but it's an idea.

Finally got around to getting a proper chalice for this guy, so here we have a WIP shot of my third Mousillon marine. This chap is basically supposed to a Bretonnian/Astartes version of Isabella von Carstein, so sword, magic cup of blood that heals people and hangs around infantry blobs. Going to count as a Plague Surgeon.
