Description
A group picture, for those watchers that prefer a single picture versions.Different angles/seperate models here
So here is my very first 40k unit, a band of Chaos Cultists. I did my best to make them look Khorney.
These were awesome models to paint, but as I read there rules, I do think they will go into the disrupting cannon fodder folder, but haven't played the game yet and still a lot to paint before I will, so I will just have to wait and see

Nicely done, Minisnatcher! Although, I always think they look different in the game. Probably because they were bald XD Kinda weird seeing the guy's crazy hairstyle. They don't really look like chaos though, they look like a group of gang that's gonna mug you, I mean look at the guy staring at me with his blond hair! With that shotgun, I'd run like hell and hide if I can. Liking the base too! Did you mould it or something then randomly drew separated rocks?

Well they are Khorne worshippers. Crazy berserkers always going after more blood and skulls for their god. I went for blond on the guy to get a Rutger Hauer in bladerunner kind of feeling
The bases are resincasts from microartstudio, link is in the description

Wow. just checked the site. Interesting. I did not know that they sell bases out there but I shouldn't be surprise right? If there's a market, there's supply. But it's gotta hurt your wallet though? Checked, their location is in Gydnia. That's Poland
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well Poland is EU, so I do not have to pay import costs.. Also, i am using them on cheap models (these GW models are super cheap in comparison to my Bushido stuff that are about 10-20 euros/model) so now I have 28 models for 40 euros, so I decided to spend some extra for bases, I wanted to test these bases out for a while now... And yes it is expensive, but whatever, I only live once

haha, That's a nice way of living. Don't live too freely though xD Well, pardon me for saying but I assumed you're Asian. So you're in Europe? Don't have to go to specific country (I mean the internet is a dangerous place after all) Seriously? GW costs us a frigging Hiroshima bomb! You gotta either be really in love with it or living the high life. I'm not living the high life so yeaaaaa.... but I really love painting haha. I don't know but I find sculptures to be crazily expensive. I thought it would be pretty expensive for Europe too, I mean.. they are quite the monopoly, GW and wow, Bushido is more expensive than that? dang! I mean, don't take offense to what I say, just a little surprised
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Bushido is expensive as you pay a lot per model, but it is cheap to play as you only need 5-8 models. Always hard to define expensive on a painter vs gamer point of view...
Warhammer is expensive if you buy an entire army, also I bought the starterset with a mate, so costs where divided into two parts. It cost me less then 2 euros/model. If I would be expanding with other stuff afterwards, we are talking another kind of money and it would be really expensive, some characters are actually 20 euros a piece which is in comparison to the stuff i bough 10 times as expensive...
Also second hand market really makes you do deals as you can easily clean of old paint with nail polish removal and cosmetic pads

Yeah, I keep forgetting about secondhand! Definitely going to explore that option when my bro takes me to see how tabletops are played (after I paint his army). Hopefully to also ask the community there. But you're right about price on painter vs gamer. But bro still say there's nothing will ever justify those prices. lol! He did say that it's not one shot, you buy the whole army. It's slowly collecting it and taking your time. When he puts it that way, I understand. It's much like my paint and photography hobby. But still expensive hobbies ><
I saw GW's Smaug. I'm a LOTR fan. I'm honestly more into fantasy nature than scifi (but I still find it really cool) But Smaug cost crazy expensive like 300 pounds! My wallet was like, "you aint gonna touch me!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm more into the fantasy stuff too
lol, almost everyone I know that plays wargames complains about the price, says it is unjustifiable , and then goes on and buys a lot of it
That Smaug is a super cool model idd, just saw that it weighs 2,4 kg. So that is a huge model. Never painted something so big myself. But idd too expensive to go for. Maybe one day if I can pick one up second hand, but it'll probably become even more expensive because they are gonna stop the lotr series @ GW and then it becomes a collectors item... and it is way over my budget already...

haha, its true but you can't really complain, can you? Dont suppose an international strike can occur by avoiding to buy GW products haha. so unfortunate 
Lol, well.. lets not see too far in the future in such an unfortunate way. There can be many variations. Maybe they'll change their minds and build a little smaller and cheaper for us ordinary people who have jobs and trying to earn a decent living with basic needs and a little space for a hobby... But, corporations don't think too gracious, do they? XD But speaking of variations in the future. For example, nat geo is saying they're looking for ways to feed 9billion ppl in the next generation but i'd like to think that the trend is that modern people don't appeal to big families or perhaps none at all. Much like US and Japan so I heard.. that there are quite a number of senior citizens compared to younger population. Hopefully, we dont have to feed 9bil people then and we won't overpopulate this wonderful but limited place called Earth XP

Well the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar, will be a fantasy with (still expensive) less cost to start as you are going to need less models to play.
nat geo... That is ideological propaganda, I would not listen to much to them if I were you... (no offence intended)
Here is an article on the Global Depopulation....
Here is another article/vid that might be interesting if you like seeing how today's world is structured... (it will take some of you time though)
link
In my oppinion the future will be about adapting society to innovations. It is in the change that conflict will arise and the conflict is that what forms the future.
Like the robots that are coming(see this link , nobody is making an effort to think what kind of effect that will have on our economy based society. Most people I know can only find an economic purpose in life, or make that their main purpose (not me, but almost everyone I know)
Sorry for the philosophic rant... I get that with these subjects
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, it's ok. Everybody is entitled to their opinions. Well, I like to think even though nat geo may be propaganda in your eyes but I like to think that they are searching for ways to feed the whole world. To me, it's a paradox that we have enough to feed the whole world yet some parts are starving way more than others. Landfills consists of an average of 33%-38% of food! And in Dubai, it increases to 55 % during Ramadhan! I mean... it's scary to know that much food is wasted. Nature never meant anything to be wasted..
Dayum! That video is 3 hours long. haha, I'll try to find time to watch. (Is it one of those.... conspiracy stuff? 
I honestly find it scary how they are building robots with AI. I wouldn't want that at all quite frankly. I like things without AI haha. The only time I welcome AI is if it's in a game like Alien Isolation where the alien will find you using different means. Now, that keeps games interesting but in real life.. It may increase efficiency and productivity but I want a job and live a life I want, thank you very much and I also want that for other people, to feed themselves and their families. Movies have already depict a dark image about the future that I wish humans will fail at advancing, like I Robot, Terminator, The Island etc... I'm the type of person who like things pretty much the way it is, maybe advancement in green technology, that's about it xD

Well the problem with the food is basically that you do not consume what you buy in stores, you consume what you imagine that will be available in stores. It comes down to the fact that stores have to have a supply that gives the customer the idea of choice. Whether he consumes it or not the suplly is in the store and what you do not consume is tossed out and reflects in the price of the other products
Also, if we throw away food, insects, birds and rats feast on it,is turned into energy/compost so it is only in human perspective that we throw it away.. Really throwing away, is burning it. If I can't have noone can attitude (which i find a really ugly side of people)...
Also that what is produced must go to the market where it can possibly bring up the most money... So richer countries will attract more food to the markets... Stuff like ramadam is a moment where people save up to be able to buy more food so the markets will react accordingly...
It is the ridiculous principle of capitalistic liberal market economy that is causing these problems... Production would be the same without the ridiculous moneygame.. We could arange division more logically based on the needs of a triving humanity, instead of on the greed of the rich. But that would mean the elite giving up their power and that is not about to happen any day soon...
AI can be exciting but it can be AS ( artificial stupidity)too. Depending on how it is programmed. The robots are a fact, it is our society that will have to adapt, no choice there. You should consider that if all the work is done, food produced etc, your life would not be what it is today, principles of economy would be completely different... I think adaptation to this new society will be one of the greatest challenges humanity has to face in the coming years, Stephen Hawkings and Slavoj Zizek both said this in one of their last books, and I have to agree with them.. No politician worldwide is worrying about what is too come,that is really problematic, because they are only elected for a couple of years and think of it as not there problem... And if society stays like it is today, adding AI will probably result in a social massacre, and have terrible consequences for the weak in our society.
As for AS: Will we create an intelligence that works and follows our ideological system and play god to create in our image or will we create an intelligence that is subject to its own findings after connecting to all data and can calculate its own opinion and is able to change its own programming as it wishes, choose its own goals, that a human could not possibly comprehend, truly free. The first will be AS, as it will probably doom us all, and make the masses redundant , the second could help us solve almost all world problems, as it would be far superior to us.
The first law of robotics was to program a robot that cannot harm a human, well the first robots they made (drones) have harming humans as there basic function... So we will see in the coming years what we are in for, but society will change dramatically, the question is, will we be ready, and how will it affect us all..
The 3 hour video, if you have the time watch it with an open mind, it invites you to do your own research and thinking and to question things that you were thought when you were little (questioning things is the basis of science and knowledge, the basis of philosophy)... If you call thinking that rich people just want to make more money and get more power and have meetings, and make decisions to what is in there best interest (making more money and gaining more power) then yes it is a conspiracy video. It is a documentary that explains world politics and history by how the money flows, not how the propaganda flows.. Who paid for what when...

Interesting points you give, Minisnatcher. I have watched a few of Michael Moore's videos.. so I assume it's something like that. I'll give it a try when I have more time

Well I believe it is not the power that corrupts it is your surrounding.. Peoples behaviour is really very dependent on the people and stuff around them... To get in power is going to a very nasty surrounding and you won't get there without getting your hands dirty. It is not power that corrupts, it is the desire to get it and the desire to get it from those around you that f*cks things up

Tu t'en est vachement bien sorti pour une première unité 40k !
Les figs à la base ont pas mal de personnalité, mais ta peinture leur donne une apparence "creepy" du plus bel effet !
Le membre du mecanicus est mon favori.

Merci mon ami. Oui le mechanicus est une figurine très cool.
J'ai commencé avec les 'chosen' du DV et j'ai déjà appris que ce ne sont pas des figurines faciles a peintre...

Elles sont très très détaillées.
Si comme moi t'as le soucis de faire chaque détail d'une couleur différente de celle du voisin, bon courage ! ^^

oui ca vas pas allez si vites que les 'cultists' en tout cas.. Je les fais un pars un.

En tout cas le résultat risque d'être sympa. Je trouve ton style de peinture très organique, ça risque de plutôt bien rendre sur ces armures.
