I absolutely love the forge world traitor guard figs, especially this Rogue Psyker.
More FW goodness, the commissar's dark counterpart (er... darker counterpart?) - Renegade Enforcers. Simply brilliant castings.
I'm doing one squad of Traitor Guard devoted to each of the four ruinous powers - For the Khornate guardsmen I decided a squad of Blood Pact would be appropriate. The models are mish-mash of parts from the Chaos Marauders and Brettonians in the WHFB range, along with bits from the Catachan sprues. Their masks are made from the shaved-off faces of fantasy goblins.
The Yin to Thargadd's Thumpers Yang, a group of Renegade Ogryns. Right about here is where I ran out of steam on the army, and it's been pushed way back on the shelves (and in the painting queue).
The traitor guard is actually a fairly large army - in addition to the above, there's three more troops squads, a large mob of menials, a number of tanks, some Alpha Legion traitor marines, and a traitor Baneblade... Yes, that's what happened to my first plastic baneblade - I always wanted to do a traitor version, but wasn't quite up to defiling a $300 FW model to make one!
Shaved off goblin faces for pact masks is brilliant! One of those ideas that I'd never thought of but once I see/read it is so obvious.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I basically cut them from the bridge of the nose down to just behind the mouth. It also required shaving the faces of the bretonnian heads a little bit so I had a flat place to glue to 'mask'. Depending on the goblin the masks ended up just a little larger than I wanted, but it's not too over the top. In retrospect I'm thinking that perhaps gnoblars would have been a little closer to the correct size, though they might prove to be too small...
