The Damned As They Stand

I've mentioned before that the arrival of The Damned reinvigorated me back into some building and painting following a long work-enforced break from indulging.

What we see in the following photos is the current end state for now as I look into re-indulging in 40K Imperial Guard and maybe some Space Marines.

I do have some built but unpainted models but, for now, they have been pushed down the priority order a bit.

First up, The Boss /Anarch,/ Great Warmongerr// Le Grand Fromage/ The Highest Poobah/ Devastating Endbringer* (delete as appropriate) I have to give some thought as to what form his Command Squad or bodyguard will take but for now, he's nails enough to look out for himself.

Then again, maybe I could add another couple of sorcerors to give him a psyker back up.

I've already covered the rest of these units in progress posts so there isn't much else to add. Wargames Atlantic have smashed this project out of the park and, purely my opinion, I could have enjoyed the variety just as much if I'd gone for a smaller Kickstarter buy in. Basically you have a rules agnostic set of models that can likely supplement or proxy for all manner of games systems ranging form a 40K Siege of Vraks style heretics army to some spicy models for Stargrave.

Apologies for the spartan desk, that's all I have available in my workplace accommodation. I also have quite a spicy house move coming up so more detailed photography could be delayed for a while.



 

More Generically Heretical Infantry

Must give them a name. 'Generically Heretical' is a bit vague.

That's now twenty of these in total with some heavy weapons to follow. After that, time to build some Command for them. I have Brutes available but I'm still leaning towards keeping them for The Damned.

They should be able to have beast handler re-enforcements though.

Back to the painting table before I build more though.










 

More of The Damned Hit The Front Line

Another twenty complete. Once I'm back home again and have time, I'll muster up everything that has been painted for a nice group photo.

 

Ventrillian Noble Reinforcements

As the Armageddon Battalion box included Cadian infantry, I've added another squad to my Ventrillian Nobles. This should keep me away from a Vostroyan MTO. If I could resist those models twenty years ago, I can resist them now.

Pistolier heads give me enough craziness for my Imperial Guard for now. Plus, there is a new Victoria Lamb dress uniform Kickstarter coming up.

 

More of The Damned

As I continue to make my way through the massive amount of plastic I received via the Kickstarter, one 20 strong squad of The Damned and ten more generic heretic troopers have been built and are on the paint schedule.

Once I'm back home, I can start looking at a army muster for what I have so far. There are at least 40 of The Damned along with Command and some of the heavy weapon troopers to be lined up.

As for transport, the Mauler receives a release window from 29 May. I'll likely be holding off for a while due to the need to put the Armageddon Battalion box together.
 

More Commissar Goodness

It's not just The Damned you know.

I bought the Commissar Graves box as part of the Armageddon launch.

The Vehicle has been built along with the crew but they are yet to be painted.

First up, the on foot Graves. very imposing with the Bolt Pistol and Powerfist. She even comes with a tactical ruin hero base.

Ever seen the meme 'Drive me closer so I can hit them with my Power Sword'? See it given plastic life as Graves does some vehicle riding. Why it's not the Bolt Pistol for attacking from a vehicle I don't know but it is suitable inspiring.

I've also found time to catch up with a Warhammer+ model. The Inquisitor is still tucked away somewhere so that could be a building project for next week.

Next? More of The Damned.
 

Yarrick Returns

As my Imperial Guard starts receiving a bit of a revamp courtesy of the latest releases, first off the presses is the new version of Commissar Yarrick.

And I like it. 

Commissar Graves and her transport have been built and the painting process for her and her escorts has begun with more to follow. 

Also in early stages are my yet to be undercoated new squad of Ventrillian Nobles plus the rest of the new Astra Militarum battalion including the two armoured cars.

Oh, and more of The Damned.
