More 40K: Chimera and Cultists

I haven’t been doing as much painting this last week. I did finish up these couple items for 40K.

Chaos Cultists.

I picked these up from Dragon’s Den Games my Friendly Local Game Store a week or so ago for giggles. At $12 for 5 guys they seem a relative bargain compared to most 40K stuff… During the Fantasy Flight Games I picked up the Black Crusade RPG core rule book and I had that in mind when I picked them up (Player Characters!) – they could also be baddies in a Only War or Rogue Trader game…? Well… that’s how I justified them to myself when I picked them up.

An Imperial Guard Chimera IFV that I picked up used off ebay a few years back that I’ve finally gotten around to repainting.

One is kind of useless… I do have a second one. Should I get to the point when I have enough troops that I could mechanize a whole platoon I should start looking for a couple more on ebay.

Troops debussed from their armoured transport and advancing with some more heavy support.

I kind of feel like I should have done some more weathering and included some tactical signs or something… I guess I could add that later. The tactical signs can wait until I actually have a unit of them, I suppose…?

I also have a Leman Russ tank that I recently picked up off ebay that I’ve primed over and kind of feel like painting… but I should probably finish up the last few jungle fighters.

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

More 40K stuff likely. I have the last few Jungle Fighters on the workbench along with the aforementioned Leman Russ. But I also have a few eldar and tau and other odd and assorted bits… who knows?! If the order I placed with  Wargames Foundry shows up there could very well be a bunch of assorted swashbuckler-types showing up here in preparation for the immanent release of En Garde!
