New Army Time!

The release of Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition is coming up fast! I didn’t want to get excited but it happened anyway.
I decided to give my Demons of Chaos and Vampire Counts armies a rest for the moment and start a paint project that’s been rolling around in my head for years. A Slaanesh themed Warriors of Chaos army!

Here’s the root of what I’m thinking about fielding:

Heroes
Throgg
Exalted Hero
Mark of Slaanesh, Battle Standard Bearer, Collar of Khorne, Shield

Core
Marauder Horsemen x10
Mark of Slaanesh, flails, javelins, light armor, standard & musician
Marauder Horsemen x10
Mark of Slaanesh, flails, javelins, light armor, standard & musician
Chaos Hounds x5
Chaos Hounds x5
Chaos Trolls x5 (Throgg’s unit)
Chaos Trolls x6

Specials
Chaos Chariot x2
Dragon Ogres x4
Extra hand weapons

I have about 650 leftover points but I’m not sure what I want to play with. I’ll figure it out I guess.

Mycetic Spore

As of late, GW has had a trend of making rules for models they didn’t intend on releasing for a while. Few armies suffer from this problem more then the Tyranid army book that was released in January.

Since GW had no real plans on providing us with a pod in which we could fall from the heavens and land closer to our food sources, I decided to make my own. I mean who wants to walk that far to eat?

I sculpted it from a wooden goose egg I found at Michaels and some ProCreate epoxy I had kicking around for years. The results were… surprising. I had never sculpted anything in my life and this came out good enough for me to make a mold of it and cast it in resin. The base is made from a Pegasus Hobbies crater.
