The 333 3rd Ed Challenge- Top-Ups

 


June's been busy, but I did manage to sneak in my points/unit complement top up for June... if you allow the last weekend to count as June!

This is a couple of bullish warriors to take the Countess' unit up to the sacred Slaaneshi number of 6, two acolytes to take their number up to 10 and another 10 beastmen to join the Psychopomp's guard. The banner pole isn't finished of course... banners and basing are my task for July to round everything off.

    1. Well, apart from banners. Which is a step further than I got when I was a kid ad used to run out of energy before shields. :D

  2. Very nice reinforcements for the forces of Slaanesh which, as far as the miniatures sculpted by Citadel as followers of this god are concerned, are not very varied. So the affiliation of other miniatures to the cult of Slaanesh is a perverse spectacle for the eyes, especially beastmen!
    Is the cross (of Christian inspiration) on the top of the staffs of the two acolytes an addition that you have made? After all, it fits well with the phrases of biblical taste on the scrolls they carry in their hands...As far as we know, Citadel after some initial attempts avoided using the cross as a religious symbol for the world of Warhammer, instead leaving it as an imperial insignia.

    1. The cross is part of the original model. These are Warmachine miniatures. You can see the reasoning behind the whole army here: http://fimmmccools.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-333-3rd-ed-painting-challenge-month.html which explains the religious references. That unit (now 10 strong) has a subtly mis-worded version of the 10 commandments on their scrolls, twisting the true message to give it a Slaanesh-leaning interpretation.

    2. Thanks, now we have read the previous posts and recovered the complexity and charm of the whole work: congrats! Would it be too lascivious to confess that it is a seductive project ?!
