Feeling Flash

Lets start with the main villain Gerrit. Hes a suave and I feel like I did pretty good in hitting the above description. Not only is he good looking buts hes a great public speaker and the below speech is quite well written and I even had one of the players say he gives a convincing argument.

Governor Fellatio isn't looking to good.

He has a Fanatical Protector with him and I thought what sort of person is going to risk their life for the Lord of Luxury and I thought a crazy drug lady who's desperate for her next hit and doesn't want the guy that's giving it all out for free gone. Original plan was that she was part of the fleeing crowd and does a surprise stab and on someone unsuspecting, unfortunately someone went straight for the head so she instead jumped in front of a blob of plasma.

For the attendants/soldiers in the crowd and their leader who stands next to Gerrit with the box containing Veneratio's head I used the Blackstone Fortress Cultists. It was good excuse to get them painted and they fit the part well.

And how could it be a Cult of Slaanesh if there wasn't an Orgy in the corner (this was not apart of the original plot but I couldn't let it not happen... Maybe inviting my Boss to play wasn't the best idea). Watching the Orgy gave the players a point of corruption as this isn't something a Agent of the Imperium should do but also because it involved multidimensional pulsating tentacles. This was the real threat in the encounter as pile of rags turned out to be a possessed.

Show me on the doll where it it touched you.

Dad your not looking so good after that last accident.

Ivill Kreet is a character who plays a very small part of the story and while it did not come across at all in the game his backstory is amazing and as DM this was one of the highlights of what went into the Dark Tides setting.

Hes a smuggler, he needed a luxury item.

And he needed a family of scum and my ventures into Catachan renegades when I was a teenager turned out to come in handy (this also where my poorly sculpted tentacle monster came from).

Insert thin your paints screech here

With Governor Fellatio dead what will happen to the Planet Chlamydia and Hive Aids... Stay Tuned

Wrath and Glory - Sir Jonas Alswere

"Tea is more important than ammunition"
-Churchill

Sir Jonas Alswere - Of Noble Upbringing from the stout and rigorous house of Alswere, Sir Jonas is well aware of the games the Noble houses play in the vie for power. Particularly adept at navigating Imperial Bureaucracy Sir Jonas assists where Victoria has little patience. Often donned in ancient armour and wielding a relic plasma gun that can trace its origins back to before the heresy Sir Jonas is capable of handling himself if things get rough.

I really failed with the transfer but it was something I wanted try, never put transfers on before. It basically became a guide for me to paint over, would score myself 2/10 for that application. The black used to fix it really stands out in a bad way but the green of the armour was too many layers and not something I could replicate at this stage, honestly I think I should have either just done some free hand or put the transfer on right at the beginning before any washes. I live and I learn.

And that's the party, ready to serve Inquisitor Victoria Aldrich.

The main villians have been painted already but as one of the players is reading this blog they shall not be revealed until after they have been seen in game.

Wrath and Glory - Confessor Albertius

Admit your wrong doings, confess of your sins and throw your neighbor under the bus while you are at it for Confessor Albertius is here.

Confessor Albertius - Confessors are free-roaming zealots of the Imperial Cult who use their evangelical platform to agitate the crowds of Imperial citizenry that turn up to hear them, citizens will rush forwards to confess their personal heresies, reveal their hideous mutations and betray their comrades as psykers or other untrustworthy deviants. Such a man has a well deserved place in the inquisitors retinue, why seek the heretic when they will be revealed to you.

The player got asked if he wanted a fresh paint job or if he wanted the nostalgic paint job from when I was like 14. I got told I could do better and so he got dunked.

I'm happy with the end result, the paint scheme stays true to my original version but with nicer lines, less thick paint splatters and no chipping.
