C0wabunga Challenge IV: Starting point

After finishing my 1000 point Night Lords force in the previous challenge, and actually playing a game with them (woot?), it’s now time to add some more stuff to it! Since I’m not a very fast painter I felt the Gamer’s Challenge would be too much for me, so I opted for the Painter’s Challenge instead. Last time I painted a lot of regular Chaos Space Marines, and I honestly got a bit fed up with that, so this time around I decided to focus on vehicles and daemons. And Terminators. You can’t have enough Terminators!

Having established a foothold on Khardasian Prime, the Heralds of Darkness now seek to consolidate their position and bring in heavy support in the form of vehicles. Sacrifices to the Ruinous Powers have also been made, and the boundaries between the Warp and the physical world weaken…

I painted a backdrop last year, but I would like to try some different techniques and have another go at it.

For this I want to try and build markers to represent destroyed or burning vehicles.

I’m entering a small 1000 point 4th edition Chaos Dwarf army for the CotC painting challenge. It’s not a competitive army at all, but rather based on the models I have available. I’ve been collecting Chaos Dwarfs for a few years, and this challenge was the perfect excuse to finally start painting them.

As this is the final month, I have also taken a photo of the completed 1000 point Night Lords army! I decided to go all in and set up my models with my painted backdrop, an Imperial Firebase and a lot of jungle scenery.

A big thanks to Dr. The Viking for running this lovely challenge, and thanks to all the wonderful participants for a lot of inspiration and motivation!
