Ahoy, mateys! :victory:
A handfull of days ago, I recieved a highly anticipated package from Games Workshop, containing what will eventually become the core of my new Chaos army, the Flesh Storm. With it, I hope to bring some innovation onto the field, and create a Khorne army that sets itself apart, if so just a little. I am currently working on some fics describing their backstory, but to sum it up, it is this:
A group of lost Space Wolves have dwellt in the Warp for ages, and have been driven insane and bestial from the horrors they've encountered. Khorne likes this a lot, and assings them with the task of summoning forth his Millenial Daemon, which is the price they have to pay for their liberation. On the way (I haven't figured out exactly how), they meet a tribe of Khornate Orks who joins them in their casue to seek glory for the Blood God.
Here's what the package contained:
- One Space Wolf runepriest
- One Ork Warboss, minus head and one arm
- a box of Chaos Marines
- A box of Ork boyz
- Space Wolves sprue
- Khorne Berzerker sprue
- Chaos marrauder sprue
- Chaos Lord backpack
- Grimgor Irhonhide's head
These parts will be assembled into:
- One Ork Warboss with power klaw - counts as a Chaos lord with power fist
- One Chaos lord with power weapon and plasma pistol
- A squad of 10 Chaos marines (these will play the "grey hunters" role in the Space Wolf organization model)
- A squad of 6 Chaos marines (will have the role of grey slayers)
- 8 Ork boyz - counts as Khrone berzerkers.
As of now, I have assembled and painted a handfull of them, and I reckon that this will keep mu busy for quite a while. Anywyas, here are the first four of them:
As you can see, the paint scheme is mased upon that of the Space Wolves, but with a little darker armour, and Khornate red and brass on the shoulder pads, backpack and trim. The two Marines to the left don't look that good, porbably because I experimented with inking the armour, which turned out quite messy looking.
The models themselves are made up by a random but balanced mix of parts from the above mentioned sprues, to give it a distinct Space Wolves look, but with a proper Chaos and Khornate feel to it. Roughly half of all the models will be helmless, and many of them will have some long hair sculpted on them, as the original short hair looks neighter wolfy nor chaosy.
More pics and info will keep coming as I progress. I'm eagerly awaiting your responses. :grin:
