Ushoran would probably be great at halloween parties, I mean look at his horrible ghoul overtyrant costume it’s so realistic!

Sumeros Summerking, The Lord of Masks, greets you this fine autumnal holiday. He is a gigantic noble paladin usually, so demonstrating his playful side has this All Hallows Eve decided to dress up as a terrifying massive ghoul, standing atop a shattered fortification, bones scattered around and blood dripping from his maw, like how some believe him to be

Rear view of the Summerking’s fantastic costume showing his bedecked ermine coat that’s decorated with many of the kings favourite visages

here's a favourite project of mine that's mostly red

A small army of Blood angels space marines based on the angels of death series' artstyle (where the characters are monochromatic save for their bright striking reds across their armour)

It includes:
A librarian, a vampire wizard space marine
A Death Company Captain, a heavily decorated warrior who has succumbed to the Black Rage, a death frenzy like state
A Terminator Captain, a space marine leader inside of a walking tank
Lemartes, A named chaplain space marine with a jet pack and a skull helmet
A jump pack chaplain
A Death Company Dreadnaught, a space marine with the black rage entombed in a walking sarcohagus death machine
5 tactical marines, normal space marines armoured in red
5 death company, black armoured veterans who have fallen to the Black Rage
5 Terminators, marines in red suits of armour like walking tanks

decided to finally get this project going too...
this is one of my first minis i painted, the plastic retro noise marine, done up as Danger Days era gerard way

ive never been happy with it so im gonna do something about it specifically with the torso model standing in the back

watch this space :3

a multi coloured noise marine painted in the colour scheme of the lead singer of my chemical romance from their 2010 album Danger Days:The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

in the background a bit blurry by a pot of tamiya glue there stands an unbuilt lord kakophonist from the new emperors children range

found a single decent paintbrush so was able to finish this for a #horusheresy campaign thats gonna start next weekend. really looking forward to it :3

heres my new centurion for my world eaters:

Varrus, The Untitled

#worldeaters

#warhammercommunity

Varrus, a centurion of the heresy world eaters. Their armour is near pristine white, lacking the blood splattered everywhere that usually is found on members of the 12th. The idea is that as the campaign goes along they'll get bloodier and more battlescarred

Rasputina, Abominable. An immensly powerful ice witch dressed in very comfortable clothes. The herald of the tyrant December is seen casting a stream of cold arcing in front of her as her eyes go an icy blue

"Hark! A Courtier of the King Approaches!"
"Ah what noble knight graces our presence?"
"...oh, its the high falconer... bastard.."

High Falconer Felgryn finished!
had a lot of fun painting him and his many falcon? friends.

#warhammercommunity
#minipainting
#aos
#flesheatercourts

two painted warhammer aos minis, High Falconer Felgryn (a cannibal ghoul dressed in his courtly fineries) and his favorite bird Grype ( a horrible bat monster).

Grype, a lard distended bat creature. Not the original Grype as the High Falconer has a bad habit of snacking on his flock of screaming bat monsters. The things these nobles get up to I swear

The High Falconer himself, aping the dress of my Ushoran paint job with his red rags and flayed skin shawl like all the best troublemaking courtiers. The jaunty bat wing in his robin hood cap is his own touch though. In the lore he has developed a rivalry with the fair Grand Justice of The Summerkings realm, where they wants to be as far away from each other as possible. With the Summerking's declaration of the War of Red Errantry (Ushoran's superior version of the dawnbringers crusade) they get to do just that.

Rear view of the model showing the overfilling pouch of feed for Felgryn's many falcons. Felgryn got the job of High Falconer through demonstrating his great proficiency with winged creatures by having them devour the gate guards that wouldn't let him in to see Ushoran. With his new found role, he lives the high life gorging himself on the bounties of Summercourt and annoying the Grand Justice with his larger than life exploits

started work on what i'd need for the new ghoul spearhead that i havent got

kitbashed some crypt flayers; i'm calling them the saints of morbheg, they've taken on more of a bat-like appearance and some little details invoking angels

yes they will have many eyes on the wings

3 crypt flayers of a flesh eater court, reposed so they don't look too goofy with their late fantasy poses and some details to invoke angels with the halos, skulls to invoke tetramorph angels many heads.
