The Dark Powers Call Once Again

I have a small selection of stuff inside the house that's in the painting queue, and having finished the Firestarters and the grots the other day I had to have a think about what I felt like picking up today. In the end I decided to get moving on the Chaos Undivided cultists for my Iron Warriors force. Made up of the quite recent GW Chaos Cultist models (which are, I think, inspired by the late 1990s metal cultists sculpted by Paul Muller which were only for sale for a very short period of time), this group of 20 has a leader, a flamer, and a heavy stubber. It basically has two units within itself - a group of 10 with close quarters weapons, and a group of 10 with longer ranged weapons - enabling it to either sit on an objective or move up and get slaughtered by the opponent so that the actual Iron Warriors can do something more useful.

They may look like not much has been done, but there's four colours on those models at the moment!

Colour wise, tonight I just added the brown for their leather - belts, straps, and boots - and tomorrow if I have time (P and I are going to the cinema) I'll do some work on their various cloth wraps and pick out any other metalwork that's been missed previously. I'm not completely sold on the red and black colours, as it seems a bit Khornate rather than Undivided. I might swap the red for another colour - grey perhaps, or maybe yellow. I should quite quickly be at the point where I can slap a wash over them and move towards completion, but I'm torn between an overall Agrax wash or a mix of Agrax on the fabrics and Nuln Oil on the metalwork. 

Oh, and I also popped a Nuln Oil wash on the Ork Lobba that I have kicking around which can stand in for a Kannon in a pinch, theoretically giving me four Kannons (or two Kannons and two Lobbas, if I use the Kannon without a gunshield as a Lobba...) for the Ork Waagh. Again, that should be dry enough tomorrow for me to finish off with a Leadbelcher drybrush and some black, white, and red detailing. 

I was meant to have a game of Necromunda tonight at the inaugural meeting of the LUNAR* Club, but alas, I didn't feel well enough to go, so a quiet night in was had instead. I still have the Old World game at the weekend and next week I'll definitely be off to LUNAR on Tuesday, if I can find someone to have a game with.
