I’ve not jumped on a hobby challenge before, but this one sounds like one I have to do.  Not so much to go gung-ho to win, but more that I am inspired by the spirit of the contest, and the fact that it might enable me to get something off the way-back-burner and get it done!  The only problem now is choice.  My hobby area is choc full of old ideas, unfinished plans, half-started projects, not started projects.  Time to choose….

This will require some thought.  Some of the projects are a bit too big to take on in the timeframe.  For example cracking open Kingdom Death Monster and getting it ready for the table will remain my rainy day project for another (life)time.  This challenge seems to call for a project that is started and unfinished.  The Chaos Renegades spring to mind. I have no idea why I bought three boxes of Cadians but only one Renegade Militia conversion kit!  Pretty much useless for 40k at the present time, but a Kill Team would be perfect.  I’ve been swilling ideas around for a Blanchitsu style war band for some time now, and have enough kits and bits to do it.  Maybe this could be the project to finish…..especially as I’ve got all the new Kill Team stuff waiting to be used…..and Necromunda….and I fancy trying Inq28…seems like a good plan.  I will sleep on it and make a decision!

Thanks for the suggestions and particularly to the chaps on Hobby Hangout. @Lancorz the Turtles are indeed Ninja Turtles (the works edition of the IDW game!

Per @Lancorz advice I am going to finish the Core Space models (lest I exchange one project backlog for another!)

But that is more of a “washing up” than a Spring Clean so I’m going back to something truly started but not finished from a way back.

I’ve really been wanting to put together an Inquisimunda/KillTeam/Blanchitsu warband for ages and I converted up a model I call “The False Preacher” the other year.

These bits and pieces were sidelined pending further inspiration.These bits and pieces were sidelined pending further inspiration.
It’s time for this chap to be brought to life and get the warband started!It’s time for this chap to be brought to life and get the warband started!

As Mel would say - let’s crack on!

I got a bit carried away so the stage pictures stopped there! As I was painting my mind was conjuring up the background and story of this character which I’ll write up after painting is done.

I can remember that the model was kitbashed out of a Skitarii Ranger Alpha, a Gaunt Summoner and a bit of a Tau drone from an old Kill Team starter set. I bought some “watch parts” (recasts) off eBay which I had planned to do something with for the base. I decide to go with a bit of a vortex as the drone tech levitated the preacher off the floor.

The base cogs were painted in a mix of silver, bronze and gold, heavily washed with Agrax Earthshade then smothered with Forge World rust and mud weathering powders.

 

The robes were worked up from Vallejo Burnt Umber through Hull Red and then a Hull Red / Scarlet mix. The rest is pretty standard with plenty of Agrax to grimdark it up.

Do Servitors Dream of Electric Priests?

As I painted, I came up with the idea for the setting and a narrative series - which will hopefully lead to an interesting warband and exciting stories!As I painted, I came up with the idea for the setting and a narrative series - which will hopefully lead to an interesting warband and exciting stories!
