So if Tzeentch had a MTG deck,

I'd think it'd be pure blue or at a push include a little red.

Aside the 40k cards made for MTG what would any of yous think?

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

Maybe I should create a guild

"The guild of the woke wizards"

Transmutation Specialists

Working to bring diversity across the realms 😃

All sponsored by your local chaos gods 😉😇

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

I keep coming across a ton of stuff on YouTube about d&d going woke,

So in true Tzeentchian spirit, I think I should use the polymorph spells to change characters genders and skin colours etc. 😃

I might even make a special set of charts so I can roll up a new ultra woke character for them 😁

True Polymorph really does sound like a spell I could have fun with 😇

I wonder if the god Hastur, the king in yellow, and the city of Carcosa upon the shores of lake Hali, are the inspiration for Nurgle?

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

Ok I found some undead books, I might make an undead Tumblr too (different from the Tzeentch one)

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

More Flamers.

I'm going to make some champions for them too.

I'd wanted more of these 3rd generation flamers, as I think they're the nicest sculpts, and preferably finecast as the metal ones have heavy bodies.

Also, all now on 32mm base

Getting there ☺️

(sculpted from green stuff, now getting painted)

I thought it would be fun to make a fimo terminator 😂

"If you've ever left the cinema or turned from the TV screen, wishing that you could invent your own death-stars, storm-troopers, whirling ornithopters and wild-eyed heroes then this is for you. Warhammer 40,000 is the game that lets you create all kinds of exciting, futuristic adventures on the tabletop. You will need a few models, a little scenery, and the odd accessory such as dice and a ruler - but most importantly you will need a smattering of creative genius. The fact you are reading this is a sure indication you are eminently qualified on that score."

Rogue Trader 1987

(1st edition 40k)

Personal creativity use to be the centre of this hobby.

Once a long time ago, special characters represented examples of how someone could use the army lists and magic items to create their own hero, with some fun background writing - now they are 'super' characters that dominate the battlefield and background alike, crushing any semblance of personal creativity out the hobby, almost punishing players for not using the studios named characters in their armies.

I miss the old world where no-one has a complete map, nor timeline. Where Athel Loren and the realm of chaos were specifically un-mappable. Where we were given short poetic pieces that set a tone and created an atmosphere without limiting the possibilities.

Replacing them with filled out time lines and maps, was what players were meant to do at home, not what studio people should publish. The studio was meant to encourage you, the player, to write and create.

These days it's easy to feel like a passive spectator to someone else's world, playing games with someone elses characters, rather than an active participant in creating your own world and characters.

The undead horsemen from citadel miniatures from the early 1980s set-C21

These are 1st edition undead, I've subtly put them on 40mm round bases (there sunk into a hole in the middle of the base and sealed with green stuff so as not to damage the originals)

May they be heralds of some of my next posts - classic undead.

Aside Tzeentch and the chaos gods, my greatest long lasting love in Warhammer was the classic undead, pre-aos nagash, and Arkhan the Black- the last surviving true lich in all Warhammer after nagash, the other, became a god- leading their old world, gothic armies of skeletons ARCHERS (...) and a mix of zombies, skeletons, ghosts and ghouls.

I guess this ad is out of date now 😂

This post is just a sculpting reference for myself as Tumblr is easier to look up than books or old posts.

It'd be nice to make a little Daemon prince which looked like this.

This will take some time 😵‍💫

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

Ok, so still some way to go, but getting there...

He's still half painted, & still a few alterations I might make to bits of him.

He's getting a new shoulder pad now.

My painting still needs improving.

Enough for one day though

Fyi I sculpted him by hand using green stuff, he is 100% just a lump of floppy green stuff.

I guess technically he's a 'proxy' 😂. This lump of green stuff represents this mini... 😃

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

In an earlier post I said, 'wouldn't this artwork of a flamer of Tzeentch make a good mini'

Well I'm now a little closer to finding out.

It's not finished. Definitely still needs cleaning up and polishing, a few tweaks here & there

So, blender...that was awkward. But I guess it's whatever for my first ever attempt at using the program😳.

One day I'll try find a printer and print one off just to see how it looks and feels next to other minis, and to find out the horrors of how awkward a 3d printer really is to use.

Aside from Tzeentch, my next favourite chaos god is Slaanesh.

Given how Slaanesh is struggling in the Age of Sigmar lore, it's nice to give them this little tribute from the Realm of Chaos book 1988, a little love for the Dark Prince 😘.

Here's what Slaanesh looks like, and how they're described, and a rather lovely version of their mark.

A wonderful artifact of Slaanesh.

Two pieces of poetry and art describing Slaanesh's realm.

And some classic daemons, champions and renegades.

P.s. noise marines are the best marines 😋 and I love this new mini of them. Definitely on my buy list.

My main army will be of Tzeentch, but I plan to get a second force of Slaanesh.

[tzeentchdaemonsart]

To celebrate our era I reckon (with all daemonic facetiousness that one should expect from a chaos daemon...) I should make a special Keeper of Secrets armed with the 'woke-hammer' which only appears for the month of pride.

Every time it hits a character they roll up a new pronoun on the pronoun chart, and the Keeper of Secrets has a unique psychic power which lets them switch a random nearby basic space marine mini for the corresponding sister of battle mini 😁

My Tzeentchian daemons will happily ally with some Slaanesh daemons to make this possible 😝 and have a squad of noise marines to cheerlead them on 🌈

Lastly my chaos spawns now have D6 genders rolled for each time they appear, that way I feel a greater kinship with them. 😋
