Works well in groups...

Here are the promised group images.  Sooo different from the initial layers of colors. :-)

I remember the initial color for the army was going to be much lighter, so that I could show more dirt aound the feet... paint chips and blood splatters.

That would have been fun as well, but this scheme has really fed into the story line, which continues to expand and develop each day...

Depending on the storms tomorrow, I will be posting bikes and raider images.  Stay tuned!

Leader of the pack

Here we have the leader of the Kabal Warriors.  As with most of the group, this was a combination of old and new kits.  It turned out to be super fun!

I also have another version of this figure with an agonizer.  In fact, I am really looking forward to the post tournament army which will include many more of the Kabal warriors.  They will have a very cool ride in the Tantalus!

I have a few shots of the whole squad that I will post next.

Miniaturized version of the mosaic tiles...

This base is for one of my objective markers.  Most of you are familiar with the Razorwing base that has a much bigger version of this particular mosaic.  This is a 40mm base.

I am enjoying the mosaics!  I will try to get some of these on the army board as well.

The beginning of a duel...

The original plan for this jetbike (as it was for a few others) was to have a space marine either being hacked apart by the bladevanes, or standing on the ground firing up at the jetbike... like the Razorwing.

This is why it was built up on the taller base.  However, I quickly realized that it would be impossible to use in a game as originally conceived, so I pared it down to the shooting marine, which could in turn be removable, just like the Cyberwolf marine can be removed from the Razorwing base.

Hopefully I will get the time to make that space marine figure for this particular base. :-)

In the meantime, here are a few more views of the jetbike by itself.

And here it is with the original color test jetbike...

Much more to come!

More of your friendly neighborhood Kabal...

All right folks, more Kabal Warriors.  It was really hard to choose which of these to use for Adepticon, since I think I had assembled at least 20 of them, possibly more.  Only 10 could fit into the list.

I also had a bunch metal Fantasy Dark Elves which were going to be used as Hecatrix Blood Brides.  I converted them with left over splinter pistols and other Wyche weapons.

In the meantime, more painting on these Kabal Warriors!

What's old can definitely be new :-)

Hey folks!  More of the Kabal Warriors.  I have been very surprised at how much I enjoyed painting these.  I remember having a lot of fun combining the old and new kits so long ago when I first built them, but I figured that they would not be as interesting to paint as the Jetbikes, for instance.

That has really not been the case.  I have had all kinds of fun with these.  Ironically, the old style armor and clothes made it easier to put the crackling lava freehand on them.  The shoulder armor definitely made a nice big open surface.

I was glad that I had put all the extra spikey bits on them, since that allowed me to do more blood platter, keeping them a bit more in line with all the vehicles.  Having a variety of old and new splinter rifles was also fun, and kept me from going insane painting endless numbers of the same gun! :-)

The Kabal of the Blood Star

Some images of completed Kabal Warriors.  I think I did a Work in Progress post or two, but now I am shooting pictures of the painted figs!

More to come!
