Howdy,
Where to begin?! I am currently working on 2 armies related to the games workshop universe (I say GW because I also own a Cryx army). I figured I needed a place to organize everything and to sort of get it all down on paper (relatively speaking of course).
So a bit of an intro - I am currently working on 2 armies all followers of the Blood God. These include a Traitor Imperial Guard force as well as a Space Wolves army (I'll explain later). They are all part of the same legion but fulfill separate roles within Khornes grand scheme.
IG: The meat of Khorne's legion lead by the fearless Heritor Zaarminiaa. Essentially a mechanized I.G force which happens to be so successful that ritual sacrifices must be made after a campaign in order to sate Khorne's thirst.
Space Wolves: After a particularly brutal campaign on the hive world Na'am, these once stalwart protectors of the corpse emperor began to realize that only by serving Khorne could they truly be one with the wolf. Seeing the bloodshed while attempting to put down a particularly deep rooted cult located within the upper echelons of the spire, these pups finally understood that as long as the blood flows, Khorne would be the one true god. Now they are the shock troops of Khornes legion. Deployed wherever the Astartes are encountered, these marines are now truly more beast than man. Designers note: I wanted a power armour army but the chaos codex is just too bland for my taste. The wolves have a great codex and I'm really looking forward to converting bloodcrushers with magnets to swap between bloodletters and thunderwolf cavalry.
As it stands, this is what I currently need to paint or build or both:
IG:
45 Guardsmen
9 Battle Psykers
1 Leman Russ
2 Hydras
2 Vendettas
1 Hellhound
5 Chimeras
Space Wolves:
5 Marines to ride the interchangeable bloodcrushers (TWC)
2 Marines to ride the interchangeable Herald's bloodcrushers
2 Rune Priests
40 Grey Hunters
4 Drop pods
1 Lone wolf
Completed Thus Far:
IG:
Command Squad including Heritor and their Chimera
Special Weapons team (3 meltas)
Manticore
Space Wolves:
Pictures
(I must apologize for my piss-poor photography skills. I really need to build a photobooth. These really look much better in person).
(Imperial Guard:
I.G command Squad - Heritor is the Marauder model from the Avatars of War game. The heads are all from Pig Iron studios and the Khorne iconography is etched brass from FW. The visored helmets will appear on all IG carrying energy based weaponry or heavy weaponry like autocannons. Otherwise the commanders/sergeants have the command gas mask heads while the grunts have the standard gas mask helmet.
Overall I really like the scheme. It is really effective looking when it's all fielded together but is detailed enough to look great in small point games. I find there is just enough detail that I can get about 5 models done in a night.
OTHER WORK:
Eldar
Chaos Space Marines
Tyranids
Orks
Space Wolves
Daemons of Chaos
