More Flesh Tearers!

I've been working on putting paint to the 2nd Furioso Dreadnought for my Flesh Tearers army. Had some time again this sunny Sunday and it was go time for Red Gore!

I painted the main areas of the model first. So reds,blacks and metals. Did manage to do some detail work on the lenses as well.

Painted on the Flesh Tearers chapter symbol with a bit of freehand. I don't think GW have the Flesh Tearers transfers yet.

Other side of the Furioso's arm. I'm still deciding on the ranged weapon for his arm. I'm leaning more towards the under slung Meltagun.

I also did a bit of freehand on the Furioso's combat arm. Gave it the standard blood drops and grail cup iconography.

Assault Squads!

Also managed to paint up the basic reds and blacks for the Assault Squads. Some of the models are the older metal ones. Even the jump packs are metal. Brings me back to 3rd Edition haha!

Well the work week approaches on the morrow. Have a super week ahead everyone. Looking forward to the next weekend man haha!

Flesh Tearers WIP: Furioso Dreadnought

I'm continuing with my Flesh Tearers army units. Was abit under the weather on the Saturday and only made it back up on the Sunday. A day gone, but I still had some time to do some painting. Furious painting hehe!

I was going to paint the Furioso Dread's front armor a year or two back, but never got round to it. It was great to finally see it done. I used the Flesh Tearers color scheme of a deep red and black.

I decided to go with the frag cannon for its awesome template damage. I decided to also give a red glow to the tip of the cannon.

I swapped the usual Blood Claw with the chainsaw attachment in true Flesh Tearers style of liking chain weapons.

I've also started work on a the 2nd Furioso Dreadnought, using the model of an Ironclad Dread.

I'll be working more on my Flesh Tearers in the coming days. Hope to have more time to paint up some highlights and shading.

Have a great week ahead all! Good health to everyone!

WIP: Sanguinary Guard Sarge

I've started working on the Sanguinary Guard once again. This one is inspired partly by Flesh Tearers fluff as well as the anime Attack on Titan. The Flesh Tearers are known for the flensing of their enemies. I decided to paint up a Sanguinary Guard "sergeant" uniquely to represent his squad leader status, although the squad itself does not have a sergeant in-game.

I also drew inspiration from the muscle titan from the anime as well as Mephiston and Astorath's organic looking armor. This would not be too far fetched from Flesh Tearers tactics of striking fear into their enemies. Imagine a flayed corpse like giant screaming towards you from the skies :)

Still very much a work in progress. Lots of highlighting and painting left to be done. But the flensed flesh paint on the armor is coming along nicely. I mainly used a basecoat of Red Gore with Abaddon Black (50:50). Then I layered on Red Gore. The muscle bands were done using Red Gore mixed with increasing amounts of Ushabti Bone. Then I gave it a wash of watered down Red Gore.

He will be in my Sanguinary Guard heavy list in my previous post. Can't wait to get it the rest of the guys painted up.

Have a great rest of the week ahead everyone! Take care and keep rolling those dice ;)

Flesh Tearers Lists

My Flesh Tearers will my army focus this month as I assemble and paint up some old and new miniatures for 3 lists that I came up with during my one week break.

Assault is the name of the game as Flesh Tearers are known for their lust of close combat to get up close and personal to the enemy.

My first list will be based on my existing Sanguinary Guard.

Flesh Tearers Sanguinary Assault 1850pts
1 Counts as Dante 2xx
5 Honor Guard 205
(4 Meltaguns, 1 Sang Nov)
5 Sanguinary Guard 250
(5 Plasma pistols)
5 Sanguinary Guard 210
(1 Powerfist)
5 Sanguinary Guard 210
(1 Powerfist)
5 Sanguinary Guard 210
(1 Powerfist)
5 Vanguard Veterans 200
(4 Meltabombs, 1 Thunder hammer)
2 Attack Bikes 100
(2 Multimelta)
1 Stormraven Gunship 225
(1 TL-Lascanon,1 Typhoon missile launcher)

I'm using all my available models to maximize their time on the board. They have been collecting dust too
long instead of collecting battle trophies haha!

The 2nd list is a Death Company one. I wanted to make up at least one Death Company lost given that there are a high number of brothers who fall to the Black Rage especially in the Flesh Tearers chapter.

Flesh Tearers Death Company
1 Counts as Astorath
5 Honor Guard
(Jump packs, 4 Meltaguns)
Upgrade: Chaplain Lemartes
8 Death Company Marines
(1 Powerfist, 1 Power weapon)
8 Death Company Marines
(1 Powerfist, 1 Power weapon)
1 Death Company Dreadnought
1 Land Raider
(Multi-melta)
1 Land Raider
(Multi-melta)
1 Stormraven gunship
(Typhoon missile launcher)

I'll probably convert a counts as Astorath to represent the Flesh Tearer's High Chaplain Carnavorn.
This is another assault list. I was not too keen on the Land Raiders, but they are the only reliable transport for the DC to assault out of and not have to wait a turn after disembarking.

The last list is one inspired by the Flesh Tearers assault on the hives of Stromark where the chapter's Dreadnoughts took out the enemy's high command.

Flesh Tearers Stromark Pattern List 1850pts
1 Reclusiarch 135
(melta bomb)
1 Corbulo 1xx
1 Furioso with Frag Cannon 125
-Magna-grapple 15
(1 Drop Pod) 35
1 Furioso with Frag Cannon 125
-Magna-grapple 15
(1 Drop Pod) 35
1 DC Dreadnought 125
-Magna-grapple 15
8 DC Marines with Bolter 210
(2 Powerfist)
10 Assault Marines 225
(2 Meltaguns, 1 Power weapon)
10 Assault Marines 225
(2 Meltaguns, 1 Power weapon)
5 Vanguard Veterans 200
(4 Meltabombs, 1 Thunder hammer)
1 Stormraven Gunship 225
(TL-Typhoon missile launcher)

It was really fun coming up with the lists and re-reading alot of the fluff.

The Stormraven gunship needed to be included as its an expensive model and I wanted to get as much mileage from my dollar as possible lol! Also its the only reliable anti-air I have. And Blood Angels and their successors are considered master of aerial battle.

I decided to make the list able to Deep Strike most or all of its units. Was also keen to make use of the Descent of Angels rule. This almost guarantees fast and furious battles :)

Well, I heard the new Blood Angels codex is probably just around the corner.
Hope it will be a characterful one.
