New Army

Well after the tournament I am giving the Dark Angels a short break and painting a small chaos army, 1500points and thats it.

It's a renegade force lead by a fallen dark angel, 19 marines each from one of the first founding legions

Fallen Lord (counts as abbadon)
Dark apostle
3 Terminators with mark of tzeentch
5 chosen with mark of khorne
5 Chosen with mark of nurgle
30 cultists
30 cultists
20 cultists with mark of slaanesh
Obliterator with mark of tzeentch
Obliterator with mark of nurgle

1500 points. Not going to add anymore as Dark Angels still main focus, will do 500 point blocks of allies.

Everything painted so far

Renegade Salamander and Imperial Fist Terminators

Khorne Chosen. Renegade Space Wolf, White Scar, Night Lord, World Eater and Blood Angel

First two members of the Nurgle Chosen. An Ultramarine and an Iron Warrior

Black Legion Obliterator

First of 80 cultists

Khorne squad looking angry

My favourite model from this army so far

I've tried to make the armour look worn and dirty using wire wool and weathering powder. Hopefully rest of marines will be ready soon then its a week or two painting cultists!

Recently I hosted an informal tournament for my friends as an excuse to get together and show off our toys.

We played 6 games each, one of each of the 40k scenarios with the player with the highest Victory points at the end the winner.
