A while ago I painted up the chaos cultists from Blackstone Fortress, and since then I’ve had it in mind to add a few more models so that they can be used as a Necromunda gang, or anywhere else that calls for a mob of delusional lunatics sworn to the ghastly powers of the Warp. Here’s a group shot of them, and you can find close ups of them all here.
Since then the idea has been sitting in the back of my mind, and I even got around to starting a few models, but no real progress was made until recently. Once again it was the Paint What You Got challenge that gave me the push and I decided it was time to dedicate myself to dark powers once again.
A good Chaos cult in my view needs lots of lowlife scum, armed with scavenged weapons, who’s lives can be spent carelessly by their dark masters, so that’s where I began.
However too much contact with the daemonic influence of the Warp can lead to a bad case of mutation, as these unfortunate individuals have discovered to their cost.
And then there are those who just don’t seem to know when to stop mutating, and allow wicked entities possess their flesh.
What’s more these three ladies also count toward Fembruary – the annual challenge to paint more female miniatures for our collections.
And there we have it, another project “completed”. In time I’d really like to come back to this one (I really enjoy painting Chaos cultists) but for now I’m very happy with where this project stands.
