Dark Desires

Quite some time ago I assembled and painted several figures that I called Chaos Lords.  There was one for each of the Dark Gods (WH40K): Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Malal.  I never got around to having one for Slaanesh...that is untill now.

I purchased this model on Etsy back in September of 2022.  It is a Tamareth figure from Archvillian Games.  It looked like so many of the images I've seen posted on the Internet of Slaanesh style heralds.  I have renamed it Syntryxa.  She's bad to the bone to say the least.

I kept to the purple, pink, and gold color scheme that is typical of Slaanesh models (see my Daemonettes and Fulgrim-Phoenician figures.)  Painting it was not too difficult.  Assembly was a different matter entirely.  Parts did not fit together properly (a common problem with many resin figures I have found).  I had to putty in some areas. The super glue would not bond the pieces together.  I had to do some trial and error to find a concoction that would work.  Despite the issues, I think the end product turned out well.

Stand back!  It's time for Syntryxa's debut!  Watch out for the blades!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the Grind

DONE.  FINISHED.  After more than a week I have completed my Warhammer Soul Grinder.  I must say that I am more than pleased with it.  Inspired by a picture that I saw online of a customized Soul Grinder done by TalonWarlock I set out to mimic the model.  I made a few changes/additions myself and ended up with what I feel is a pretty cool model.

I have posted some pics.  I am throwing in a pic of my Daemonettes for poops and laughs.

So one down and 155 to go.  I did a count and have realized that I have that many models to paint/finish.  Fifty of those are miniatures from the Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster Game.  I have promised myself not to buy any more until these are completed.  It gets overwhelming knowing that there are that many to finish.  A hobby is supposed to be fun, enjoyable, and relaxing.  It shouldn't be an additional source of stress.

From here on out..one mini at a time.  Hopefully I'll share pics as I complete them.  Next up is a Chaos Hellbrute.   I plan to use the same color scheme as I did with the Soul Grinder.  Hopefully I will have the same amount of success with it.  Wish me luck!

Wrapping It Up

Wow!  Christmas again.  Fantastic day overall!  Santa was great to everyone.  I had an enjoyable time with family.  The only drawback was that it wasn't a White Christmas. Oh well...you can't have everything.  On second thought if you have your health and your family then you do have everything!!!!

On the hobby front:  A few weeks ago I FINALLY finished my WH Daemonettes.  They really turned out great.  I am quite happy with them.  I also finished a custom set of Chaos Cultists from Dark Vengeance.  Not to pat myself on the back or anything but they look awesome.  I also did a one day paint on the set of Axis Heroes from Dust Tactics.  I brought my A-Game on painting those suckers.  My current project is a set of Warzone Bauhaus that I am painting to resemble WH40K Krieg Death Korps.  I have one nearly done and 11 to go.  As you can see I have been quite busy and staying out of trouble!  Hopefully I'll post some pics soon.  No promises.

Nothing new to report on the food and beverage front.  Looking forward to watching Pitt play tomorrow.  I am big time hoping for a win!  GO PANTHERS!!!!  I'm not getting my hopes up too high for a Dallas Cowboys win this week.  Come on Cowpokes prove me wrong!

To all who have taken the time to view my rather meandering little blog over the past year I just want to say thanks and I want to wish you all a great 2014!  God bless and take care!

Pop Goes Wendy

Two big time wins this week! 

Win #1 - the return of Jalapeno Poppers to Arby's.  I never understood why they got rid of them in the first place.  Yee ha!  I tried their new Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich while I was there...way good!

Win #2 - Pretzel Burger at Wendy's.  It is so hard to believe that the bun makes the burger that much better.  I'll be going for the Pretzel Chicken Sandwich next time.  Hopefully it will be win #3!

On the hobby side of things this week, I finally finished my Warzone Imperials from Prince August.  While not 100% satisfied with their overall look, I am still pretty damn happy with the way they turned out.

I'm hoping to now finish my WH Daemonettes that I feel I started over a year ago.  I keep changing the color scheme.  I'm to the point that I just want them done and can move on to something else.  I have several LOTR models waiting in the wings (or is it rings?).

Parting comment:  Thank God for the fall.  Octoberfest...Sam Adam's Octoberfest!!!  Had some with a bunch of buddies at a fire along the upper Allegheny River.  Great time had by all!
