What are you doing today hobbywise?

Ah, New Year, New Army... kind of.

So, with the advent of 11th edition on the horizon, and the political atmosphere locally, I have decided that trying to make the dogboy police force I was considering is... not... um... it's a bad idea from a social standpoint. Plus we don't know if Agents will even get an 11th edition codex anyway. So, to dip into the waters, I bought a single War Dog for Chaos Knights off of ebay. Wanted to see how they built (slowly - lots of parts there) and if I wanted to make a whole army of them (still not sure).

But... one War Dog Stalker does not an army make, so for the time being I need to ally it into another army. My Daemons could use it, I suppose, but they need shooting more than melee, and I'm not sure I need to ally it into the daemons. They have plenty of big thugs of their own. So instead, I'm returning to some of my 40K roots and getting back into Chaos Marines.

Kind of.

Introducing the Cult of the Wolf. The core idea here is that Fabulous Bill (Fabius Bile for those who don't know the meme) got some Space Wolf geneseed and is making werewolves (because why not). The further along in the change the cultist is, the bigger and nastier (and perhaps less intelligent, not sure yet) they become. Planning to use Blood Bowl werewolves and khorngors as my Chaos Ogryn/Cultist Torments, and normal Cultist/Traitor Guard/whatever will be made using a variety of different conversion bits. Some from older, out of use sculpts, others 3d printed, and so forth. So to start, we have a Cultist Firebrand:



Made from a Sisters Priest with ... vindicator weapon I guess? It works as a Firebrand with some icon swaps to chaos ones and a canine (jackal) head, and then we have a couple of cultists:



Going to use Orlock Gangers for most of my Cultists, and paint up the various hounds from different games to be wolves/cyberwolves to use as Accursed Cultists (pets). This also allows me to make use of some Oldhammer Predator and Vindicator tanks I have lying around already. Just need to figure out how to sculpt tails, and then track down some Blood Bowl figures without having to buy an entire team I only need a few parts from...
