Ninety Nine Horrors (But GW Ain't One)

Welcome back to SB40k all.  You might recall that over the last month or so I've been hard at work trying to get my brain horror squads ready for the table top.  I figure now is a good time to show what I have accomplished and mention just how much I have to do yet before I am ready with everything I have planned for the army.

First up, a unit of 9 Horrors, 1 Iridescent Horror, and a Herald of Tzeentch.



As you can see, the unit is looking pretty slick.  I still have some things I'd like to do, such as create depth using a clear 2 part resin with red mixed in and adding some sort of vegetation to the mix.  The Iridescent Horror turned out much better than I hoped, mixing colors all over the place to create a shifting feel to the models.  One final thing I had considered doing was mixing some glitter with a glaze and adding it to the Iridescent Horrors for a sparkle effect.  Still not sure on that, though!

And finally, an image of everything which is done thus far.


Model in the back is my Lord of Change/Fateweaver, a UFO piloted by a brain.  There are (supposedly) 99 Brains on there, and I would have separated them into units but it would have just taken way too long to sort them out!

Hopefully next week the Screamers will be finished and ready to be shared, as well as the Brain Horror on a disc (riding a screamer).  Till next time, happy gaming!

  3. Love where did you get the models from make them yourself if not how much? Inquiring minds need to know...

    You need to do a battle report against someone using a nurgle zombie horde list CSM or daemons doesn't matter just has to happen.

    1. Hm, I may have to find a Chaos player just so I can get that battle report! Sadly, being just north of Milwaukee doesn't give me a whole lot of options for opponents as far as 40k goes!

      After looking through the blog, I can't find where I started making these! It is indeed my own design and I decided long ago I wanted some Horrors to fit a theme I had created and could easily replicate (an army I created from scratch, as it were).

      Hopefully I can continue on my journey and create the rest of the Chaos army before it gets updated and my models become outdated!

    1. Nice stuff, Dan! I don't know a whole lot about 15mm, but I assume there is a couple game systems they can be used for? Love the rust effects on the sides of the tanks and will definitely come back to check out future projects.

    1. Thanks Brent! Hopefully I can find some time to finish the army up sometime in the next few months, but time is starting to look pretty thin!
