In December 2020 I got this idea of building a second WHFB army.
Being an extremely lazy painter, I put a ghost deadline for myself that the army should be in adequate condition by the end of 2021.
Meaning, at least fully assembled and pretty much painted to tabletop quality.
My interest in the hobby is more in the gaming side really (although I loathe deploying unpainted minis), so tabletop minimum fits my vanity and capabilities just fine.
In the spirit of encouraging any other lazy painters (also, in shameless self-boasting), I'm posting my results here.
Around 7,5k points (8th ed) worth of daemons of chaos.
My project was not entirely successful, as the fiend proxys (on the top left) are still unfinished, and I have about half a dozen un-assembled random daemons still in my bitzbox.
There are a few other proxy models too, because I disliked the official miniatures:
- Four beasts of Nurgle (middle back in the pic) are Call of Cthulhu and Occult Wars moon beast minis
- Two soul grinders (back left and right) are some harry potter(?) collectible miniature sneks.
- Three skull kannons of Khorne (front middle) are Warmachine's infernal desolators.
- The unit of Khorne hounds (front right) are dread wolves or some other doggies from GW
Still, I surprised myself in getting this done in a year.
So, feel free to surprise yourself with your eternal miniature projects too!
My project for 2022 seems to be something similar for a Necron army. And maybe also to learn to take better photos of minis.
