 Simple deployment, everybody ready for the slaughter. Culexus infiltrated.

Tyranids Turn 1:
 Everybody moved up and ran in the shooting phase.

Khorne Daemonkin Turn 1:
 Almost all the models moved closer to the center of the board except the Nurglings and the Culexus. Marines killed some Hormagaunts that were surrounding the Hive Tyrant. Flesh Hounds and Bloodcrushers almost took out an entire bloob of Hormagauns leaving only 2 models.

Tyranids Turn 2:
 Tyraninds took control of the center of the board. Carnifex and Hive Tyrant did a couple of wounds to the Daemon Prince. Hormagaunts failed the charge on the Daemon Prince. The Swarmlord and Tyrant Guard assaulted the Bloodcrushers killing 2 of them and loosing one of the guards.

Khorne Daemonkin Turn 2:
 "Forward into battle!" Chaos Space Marines shot the Hormagaunts. Skarbrand roared to the Tyranid Warriors and killed a couple of gaunts. Bloodletters failed the assault on the Hive Guard. Flesh Hound assaulted the Swarmlord and managed to get a couple of wounds on him but lost 3 dogs. Skarbrand failed his charge on the warriors. Daemon Prince assaulted the Tyranid Warriors instant killing them with +1 S from Goredrinker and furious charge. Possessed assaulted the remaining Hormagaunts and finished them off.

Tyranids Turn 3:
  Carnifex and Hive Tyrant shot to death the Daemon Prince. Swarm Lord and the Hive Guard danced in the corpses of the Flesh Hounds.

Khorne Daemonkin Turn 3:
 Skarbrand decapitated the Carnifex and the Bloodletters slayed the Hive Tyrant. The other squad of Bloodletters assaulted the Swarm Lord but they died like flies. Marines joined the fight with the Swarm Lord.

Tyranids Turn 4:
 Swarm Lord and his crew manage to kill a couple of marines.

Khorne Daemonkin Turn 4:
Skarbrand joins the fight and kills every last Tyranid on the board.

It was a nice game, a lot of carnage.

Wrecked vehicle terrain

I created and painted another piece of terrain. I found a buggy cage that I glued on top of some polystyrene that I modeled as the car. I covered most of the buggy with PVA glue and sprinkled it with sand and small rocks.

I spayed everything with primer and painted it black. The pieces of the buggy that were still visible I painted them with Ferrari red. I made a mixture of gold and bronze and washed some parts of the black. To the mixture mentioned above I added brown and layered on the lover parts of the buggy in order to obtain a rust effect. I washed almost the whole model with agrax earthshade. After that I dry brushed the model with silver.

Converted Bloodthirster

As a Christmas present I received a Balrog that I converted into a Bloodthirster.
I changed the original whip, I replaced the left hand, I added shoulder pads from a Daemon Prince, a body armor from a Bloodthirster and the leg pieces are from a Maulerfiends magma cutters.

I bought a grey primer and I sprayed the whole model with it.

I started to paint the body with mat black then another coat of glossy black.

Next I applied 2 coats of Ferrari red.

I covered all the cracks in the body and bases of the flames around the model with glowing red.

I added yellow and white to the flames and I started to add gold to the armor.

At this point I also started to fix the black of the skin.

The only thing left were the weapons on which I used metallic and bronze paint.

Warhammer 40K scenery - Waste tower and crater

I got 2 more pieces of terrain done. I made  a crater and a water tower from polystyrene. I got the idea of a water tower from a photo I saw and I got some ideas from The Terrain Tutor ( TheTerrainTutor ).

For the crater I picked in the middle with a screwdriver and cut the polystyrene around the hole. I used PVA glue to stick some sand and the pieces of Landraider I cut into the one I have (Tower of Skulls project coming soon).
For the water tower I used a Christmas globe that I bought. I made some holes so that the straws can hold the polystyrene orb in place. With some toothpicks and universal glue I fixed the platforms around the sphere.
Then I primed everything with black and white.

I dry brushed the crater and I covered the whole orb with grey. I used metal color to make the water tower a little shiny. After that I used the crazy orange from Revel  to cover the cracks in the polystyrene.

Tyranid Eggs Terrain

I got another piece of terrain done. I found in the flea market a Mega Bloks Dragons egg and transformed it into a Tyranid egg.

I removed the matte foil and cut the shield in the front with a hot cutter. I glued the egg to a cardboard along with some air-soft balls. I bought some paper balls from the hobby store and the larger eggs are ping-pong balls.
I poured PVA glue over everything then super glue to get the nice irregular shapes.
After all the glue dried I sprayed the base with black paint.

 I did a heavy dry brush of  a mixture of brown and yellow, then dry brush with pink and another dry brush with white. Some of the eggs I washed with blue.

Khorne Rhino

I finally painted one of the Rhinos I own. I got it very cheap of ebay.

It was initially a Nurgle Rhino but I removed all the green stuff off of it and I closed the missing hatch. For the hatch I used a collar from a Bloodcrusher and I had 2 hatch doors from the Landraider. Since the model had a lot of paint coats on it I cleaned it with break fluid. Then I spayed the whole model with red. I did a really big mess with this because some of the break fluid got stuck inside the tank and kept removing the new paint. I cleaned the model a few times with warm water until I got rid of all the break fluid. I sprayed the model again and got a nice glossy red. I saw on miniwargaming a Rhino that had the Mark of Khorne painted on the top of it, I liked it, so I did the same to mine. That wasn't enough for me so I did something on every side of the Rhino.

I did the black again with a more glossy paint and I finished the rest of the details. I painted the tracks grey then I used a metallic gray. I did some edge highlighting but it's not visible in the photos. For the Space Marine helmet I chose the Imperial Fists chapter since that is the first Space Marine I fought against so... I hate them (but the player is really nice guy).
