Next is the six line units. First shot is without character and second is with, just to show how they fit in. The trolls are also fillers, as I have 4 rare choices, and I expect that they'll also be the last cab off the rank, so I might as well get some use out of them!

Horde of Goblins Preview

Well, after seeing it sit in the cupboard for over a year, I decided a month ago to paint that stupid Goblin army and get it done finally. The washes were key to this plan, after seeing proximity's lovely daemons done in much the same way. They are simply fantastic, and I have been able to paint batches of 20 in single afternoons.

Now, one month and 4 pots of Leviathan purple later, I've entered the final stages of the army, with only 20 command models and 5 characters left to go. Needless to say I'll post pics later in the week when it's done, but for now I'll leave you with a taste of what's to come

World Eaters List

This is the list that I'm working towards for the Berzerkers. 

1750 Pts - Chaos Marines Roster - Unnamed 

1 Daemon Prince @ 140 Pts 
Wings; Mark of Khorne 

1 Summoned Greater Daemon @ 100 Pts 

7 Khorne Berzerkers @ 238 Pts 
Personal Icon; 
1 Skull Champion @ [51] Pts 
Power Weapon; 
1 Rhino @ [35] Pts 

7 Khorne Berzerkers @ 248 Pts 
Personal Icon; 
1 Skull Champion @ [61] Pts 
Power Fist; 
1 Rhino @ [35] Pts 

9 Khorne Berzerkers @ 255 Pts 
Personal Icon; 
1 Skull Champion @ [61] Pts 
Power Fist; 

1 Land Raider @ 220 Pts 

3 Obliterators @ 225 Pts 

5 Summoned Lesser Daemon @ 65 Pts 

9 Chaos Space Marines @ 250 Pts 
Meltagun (x2); Icon of Khorne; 
1 Aspiring Champion @ [30] Pts 
1 Rhino @ [35] Pts 

Total 1741pts 


 I see it working well due to the mobility, and the hitting power of the Zerkers.  The MCs provide anti MEQ and walker ability, while the Oblits give much needed antitank to the army, as do the khorne marines.  The daemons are quite obviously there to be a cheap scoring unit for objective missions

Any comments welcome


World Eaters Test

Here is the first test model for my new World Eaters army.  This is just a Khornate Marine, not a Berzerker

The red transitions are a lot less prominent IRL, and the yellow is less patchy.

Thoughts?
