APOCALYPSE "UNEXPECTED DEFENDERS" - Background

(Imperial Guards + Genestealer cults Vs Death Guards / CSM / Chaos Knights)

Cadia was rumored to be under attack.
All the Proxima III Imperial Guard Command knew, was that the Eye was bright as never before, that the raids had intensified, and that reinforcements were not available. The imperial Commander watched the dark horizon, beyond the fortifications of the IV Base of the Imperial Claw West Sector. He could hear the rattle of the approaching enemy war machines. He could also feel the vibrations of the underground… from the underground hangars, the most valuable vehicles of the Guard were transferred to the internal defense line. Resources were limited and it made no sense to disperse them to defend too broad a front.
His company had been ordered to slow down the enemy and protect the entrances to the hangars. He was under no illusions… he peered into the dark and saw some shapes move stealthily… the nameless workers, the servants who worked, suffered and died incessantly in the labyrinth of dungeons to keep the gigantic buried infrastructure operational.
It seemed they were organizing themselves into some kind of militia to participate in the defense. Of course the poor outcasts would have died together with the base, but perhaps in the dark they could have fooled the Chaotics to waste a few hits on them.
By the light of some torches, the Commander could see the workers almost clearly. Some had misshapen faces and 3 arms. Probably sanctioned heavy-duty mutants, like the Ogryns. They were equipping construction vehicles with modified armor and drill rigs. In the darkness they seemed almost threatening.


The commanders of the Legions of Chaos were in a hurry. The rush was due to 2 good reasons. Both the orbital data and the advanced raiders had indicated that the imperial defenses were inadequate ... Outnumbered troops and tanks, no astartes and a handful of militiamen. An easy massacre was one of the greatest joys: even if they wanted to, they couldn't hold back the troops that craved killing. The commanders themselves couldn't wait to have the loyalists reunite with their corpse-god.
The second reason was that they too had orders, and they were very clear. Strike immediately, enter the bunkers shielded from orbital bombing, prevent the fugitives from rejoining the innermost defenses and create problems for subsequent fights. And disregarding these orders would have had only one consequence ...

Mostly Wargaming World gobs, a couple of very old GW gobs and two that came with a female BB ogre from a french company.

Now I don't have an excuse to forget paying for hunter-killer missiles on my box dreadnought.

More or less cannibalizing two separate hunter-killer missile tubes with a little plasticard work to ensure sufficient surface contact between parts, the base of the upgrade is magnetized for ease of transport.
 
In the last four days, I have assembled: 10 gors, 2 gor heroes, 1 chimera; then I based all of that, AND my sloggoth, AND the sentinel-doggy-thing for my space skaven. Priming will come once my spray-paint table in the garage is no longer buried under pots of sedum for the terraces in my yard.
 
So finished doing white undercoat on Fireborn 7, 8 and 9. Started doing 10 as well.

(Since this is the most tedious part of painting these guys, I decided to just soldier on and get all of the undercoating finished. Then it's all downhill.)
 
I received a recently-made order today!
FDBB83EC-C5D7-4382-BB34-FDD534CCAE55.jpeg

A second-hand copy of the 6th Edition Beastman Book that’s in excellent condition despite having been released almost 20 years ago, and two ancient 4th Edition Dwarf Hammerers to add to my unit of Hammerers that all happen to be 4th Edition models!
 
Picking up some different airbrush paint brands to test out once I get my airbrush, hard to find good honest reviews. Picking up a Vallejo Air, got a Army Painter Air and not sure on any other good ones that are easy to order. I did pick up thinner and flow improver to try with the Citadel collection, have to keep thinking that it needs to be milk consistency.
Army Painter is one I'm not certain about, people say it's good but finding that honest review cause I heard things about the main colour line, their metallics are good. So only way I can know is picking up a colour from the air collection and see for myself.

My local GW are doing a campaign soon and part of me wants to take part but can't for a few reasons. Yet part of me screams I can finally play a game without that toxic player I know of (he gave up on the Warhammer hobby ;))
Funnily I worked out I do have 2000 points worth of painted Seraphon, a bit of a mix and match though due to it being the painted Chaq'Kai from the SC and then my AoP Swamp Lizards.
