Hi All,
As I've been banging on about the heroes of Blackstone Fortress, I thought it fair to feature some of the denizens who creep its halls and vaults.
This group is what you receive in Blackstone Fortress' core box set. Similar to the protagonists, I kept myself to a fairly rigorous timeline to get them on the table, so the paintwork was fast and furious.
Traitor Guardsmen
I liked how other painters have done the Ur-Guls' claws in spooky contrasting tones, so I gave it a whirl as well. The well-defined musculature on these guys make a great surface for using GW's Contrast paints. Nasty little blighters in the game.
Spindle Drones
I sorta see these as the white blood cells of the Fortress, being as they are indigenous to the station and come out when things need 'attending to'. Sort of like a malicious version of Google Home. As such, I kept them sorta techie and simple.
Beastmen
My first fantasy army was Beastmen so I'm rather fond of these guys.
Baahahaa!
Rogue Psykers
Negavolt Cultists
These guys are a bit of a howl. Sort of a S&M version of your power utility guy. Armed with 'Electro Goads'. Yeeash. Sounds nasty.
Obsideous Mallex & Chaos Space Marines
And to lead all these miscreants is our main villain, the top dog, the head honcho. AND queue the ridiculous villain name: 'Obsideous Mallex'. Really? This guy sounds like he was a wash-out from a Sith Lord training camp. Why can't these guys be called something like 'Norm' or 'Bill'? I think it would be quite menacing to face off against a huge chaos marine named Jeremy.
So there you have it, a nice mob of baddies to mess with our intrepid heroes.
Hmm, speaking of which. Next up: More Heroes for Blackstone Fortress - Weee!
Have a great week everyone!
