So here’s what they look like:
The Khorne Bikers are now really finished for my Daemonkin army. I worked on the handlebar buttons and the console display and got it done. Did the bases, too. I used ‘Ard Coat to varnish them and then Lahmian Medium to take the shine off the varnish.

Well, I was able to get in a game yesterday at the local Games Workshop store. It was a pick-up game at 1,500 points, with my Khorne Daemonkin against Blood Angels. This was the first time I’d faced Blood Angels since they got the new codex. It was a fun game.

The Slaughtercult was made up of a Lord on a Juggernaut, a squad of Berzerkers, a squad of Bloodletters, a squad of Chaos Space Marines with a Rhino, and a squad of Possessed. My opponent ran a couple of assault squads with jump packs, a Death Company squad with jump packs with an attached chaplain, a Sanguinary Guard squad, in which a Sanguinary Priest was attached, a couple full tactical squads in drop pods, and a Furioso Dreadnought in a drop pod.

Highlighting always seems to take the longest for me, just because I end up making more mistakes in that phase than any other phase of painting. That always means corrections, which are time consuming and really don’t advance the ball, so to speak. Anyway, here’s where we are:
