For this week I have 4 models for 4 different games(WH40K, AOS, TOW, Warcry) for 4 different layers of hell(lust,gluttony,Greed, Wrath)
I am not a fan of only panting the same model over and over again so the challenge really appeals to me so i spent this week working thru some layers of hell and will be back to a unit of elves next week as my ultimate goal is to get all of them done by the end of the challenge.
First up we have lust and we have a big one. a 3d printed proxy for a knight tyrant. by Ghamhk . Even though I only started painting this year, I have loved the setting of 40K since i was a kid, follow that up with a love of robots, big guns and excessive violence. all that led to my favorite 40K faction being genestealer cults (lore wise not to play). My second is chaos knights so when i found this model i knew i needed to do a whole list in Khorne colors. I didn't intend to paint up this knight till all my chaos wardogs were done but I pushed it forward for this challenge.
It was an interesting challenge to paint as this is by far the biggest model I have painted. Despite it having relatively simple geometry there was no good spot to hold it, and the shoulder pads took the longest to paint as the spikes got in the way. I have been told it is too clean for chaos but am happy with it, so if there are any suggestions other than more rust and more grim let me know.
Next we have a troll for gluttony . His name is Frank and he is feeling sick today as he ate a few too many fish and elves. I painted this up in a more standard paint scheme for a river troll. This is the first time I have shaded this much flesh (only ever faces and hands) even if it is green. The rest of the unit may be hard to paint as I had to mix all the flesh shades from my 1 dark green and the scales for the same dark green and some blues but may make for some subtle variations. as i only have so many paints
We have greed for this one, and it was fun to paint. This is a free guild cavalry from AOS(cities of Sigmar). I like to treat them as Bretonnian knights and am painting each one in different heraldry. I am taking inspiration from my favorite books and shows for the whole unit. Introducing Sir Dlimount of the throne bearers of Calanfer. a whole order of knights decorated in gold and purple to demonstrate the wealth of the kingdom From the book “The wandering Inn”
And lastly we have a Ogre form warcry as my entry for Wrath. This was my angriest model and painted it up to work on flesh tones. I don't have much to say. I am happy with the paint job but i feel it is missing something. There are 2 skulls on the base.
1x 28mm on horse @ 10pts =10 points
2x 54mm footman @ 10pts = 20 points
2x 28mm vehicle @ 20pts = 40 points (for one knight)
Lust = 20 points (for the Chaos Knight)
Gluttony = 20 points (for the troll)
Greed = 20 points (for the Bretonnian Knight)
Wrath = 20 points (for the Ogre)
Total = 150 points
2 skulls
Sylvain: You offer us a BIG post this week. The Bretonnian knight is colorful and the metal of its armor is perfectly done. The troll shows that you are a master of shading. The ogre is crisp despite a limited palette from ivory to light brown. Finally, the Chaos Knight dwarfs all the other models in size and details. Because of the point system, I have to consider it a 28mm vehicle for 20 points, but because of its humongous size, as demonstrated in the first picture, I will count it as equivalent to 2 vehicles. So, a total of 150 points for you. Well done!
