The Swiftest cut!

OK, you've seen the troops, the big hitter and now here's the short, sharp, shock - a unit of seekers of Slannesh again these are designed by Juan Diaz, there are only four basis models within the group so to have a unit any larger the paint work has to be varied to given hint of variety, hence I've changed chopped and changes the same colours across each figure.

Pictures from various angles

In different positions

Just to give an impression of variety

Particularly like the red bodied Seeker, just breaks uniformity of the unit

The form and line of the models really give an impress of speed and movement in my opinion.

These girls are definitely out for blood!

Games Workshop currently describe these girls as:-  "The Seekers of Slaanesh are the outriders of the daemonic hosts, Daemonettes who ride upon swift and deadly Steeds. Seekers can cover vast distances at unbelievable speeds; they are an excellent flanking force, able to deftly outmanoeuvre almost any foe.
The Steeds are lithe, unsettling creatures with muscular limbs and long, terribly poisonous tongues - it is said a single caress from a Steed's tongue is enough to drive a man into a deathly rapture. The Daemonettes are no less deadly, with lethal claws to slash and slice at their foes." Fits the way I'll be using them pretty well!.

Seductress Dragon

Here's one of the larger models I've painted over the last couple of years - a Ral Partha model from their Dragon of the month series - The Seductress Dragon, designed by Steve Saunders. Here's a picture of the original packaging, the miniature was painted by Jackie Prow.

Original packaging

The model came in four pieces - the tail, torso and a pair of wings, simply pinned everything together using epoxy resin and sprayed it with a satin black undercoat. Originally, wasn't too sure about how to proceed with the paint work, but was sure I would do some kind of scale pattern on the tail. So, set drawing out the diamonds, took a bit of time to get it how I thought it would look and then just began to build up the colours - yellow and brown on the underside and red across her back. Here's a few pictures of how this all progressed.

Early stages

Getting there

A bit more detail added

After all the work to get the tail looking good, I tried to keep the upper torso as simple as possible, so as not to distract - hence the grey. So, here's the final picture.

A Long Term Project - My Deamon Horde

Following the Siege game at BOYL 2014, I began building a chaos host - made up of various models I'd collected over the years Citadel 'C' series( pre-slotta), Grenadier, Games workshop, and Ral-partha and whole lot else in between, but I wasn't sure which faction to follow Khorne, Slannesh, Tzeentch or Nurgle especially as I have models for all. So, I've decided the build any army containing all four  sects and mix my models as I see fit, and let the daubing of paint be the unifying factor, so here are my initial efforts (over the last three years, no body can say I rush things). More to follow in due course.

A Citadel 'C34' series Demon

Daemonettes of Slaanesh by Juan Diaz, really hit the Slannesh vibe for me

I started with a Nurgle theme, so added epoxy resin to the bases weapons and let it run to form drips and pool, which I've painted to give a putrid look.

Original Bloodletters by Alan Perry, I know their simple poses are limiting, but I hope from this picture you can see they can look dramatic.

 

Hopefully you can see here that I've mixed and matched the torsos and bodies to give a quite contorted look the unit - as I consider they'd be constantly fight between themselves, if, they weren't bond to a higher calling.
