The Kabal of the Burning Misery

Guess who forgot his army case in a train!
Content:
10 painted Wyches
5 painted Warriors
3 painted Venom crew
5 primed Warriors
1 primed Archon
10 assembled Wyches
5 assembled Wracks
3 assembled Scourges
detachable transport stuff (Raider sails etc.)
10 chaos cultist guinea pigs for colour testing.

That's everything i've ever painted, 1 year of work (i'm slow) and about 230 euro for the models alone.
That was 8 days ago and i have looked in various lost and founds etc. without result.
I'm beyond mad now (majorly about myself).
Was thinking about throwing all my remaining stuff in the dumpster but now i'm at a point where i think i'm going to be a good Archon and use the sweet pain of loss as a power source to reforge my Kabal and make them even more splendid, if a bit psychotically angry.

Well bloody heck bro. That really, really sucks. Do you have any models that weren't in your army case?

Yes, 3 Reavers, 2 Scourges, a Raider(now lacking a sail etc.) and the Venom you see above(now lacking a crew) all mostly assembled.
And some stuff in Boxes (Haemy, BM, a raider, a ravager, a Talos and a box of Warriors)
:/

So in total

3 Reavers
2 Scourges
2 Raiders (You have 2 sails considering raiders come with 2)
1 Ravager
1 Talos
10 Warriors
1 Venom
1 Haemy

You my friend need a box of wyches, warriors, and an archon and you'd be back in business. Another box of scourges would help too.

I'll paint what i got, then probably go with a battleforce, didn't really like the Archon model anyway so i'll make one from Kabalites.

Alright. This really sucks though, I'm sorry it happened. And yeah, a battleforce is a good idea. What will the Archon be equipped with? If you give him a huskblade I'd just use the venom blade in the kit and fancify it.

Thats bad.

At the moment me and my army am homeless, living out of a tent and a raider.

Sad to hear.
At about 16 i had to live at my best buddy's place because of eviction.
Things got better for me later, i hope that for you too!

About my Kabal:
Nothing new on the army case, probably gone.
Procrastinating on the venom, assembled 10 new Warriors.

Feel the BUUURRRNNN!!!
My finished Venom:

SIIICK
The first photo I was like "what a mess lol" but seen from the intended angle those crystals look awesome with the trails! Nice start on the comeback!

I thought his hand had a spasm attack on the first photo. The next two look nice though!

Was able to grab some better lighting:

That's a beautiful start to the recreation of your army!

Thank you very much, quite motivated at the moment, assembling 20 warriors, and 5 scourges after that so i can prime them before the winter.
And got tons of ideas for vehicle and hq conversions.

I've got a few conversion ideas at the moment, none that are set in stone yet though.

So i'm back in business:
A troop of Warriors, finished, and my Venom now has a base:
(Comment and critique welcome of course!)

My second Raider, in need of some spikes and stuff

And my Fast Attack Venom (WIP) inspired by Nod Venoms (C&C3) and Terminator's Hunter-Killers.
As FA it's more Aerodynamic, can still carry passengers on chains below the tail which will come later.
It needs a lot of green stuff to fill the gaps and smooth out some edges.
And also guns and a socket for the base.


EDIT: I also need to stabilise the rather flimsy rear fins, was going to try the plastic packaging of a character model unless someone has a better idea?

I might suggest thin plastic/styrene rods sticking out the back to help hold the fins up? They'd stand out, but wouldn't be massively out of place on this kind of design.

I like it! There's a definite hint of shark in the overall shape. Very fitting.

About time i add something again:

Five more Warriors, still lacking base composition:



Also a WIP of my Archon:





I don't really like capes (Incredibles anyone?) so i had to compensate for that somehow



He is equipped with a Djinn Blade, inspired by the art of the previous Codex and by @thesaltedwound 's idea for Haywire Blasters although as it turned out i did't use the punch dagger parts in the end but one of the twin blades from the Warriors box.
Anyway:

Really nice stuff. BTW you should TOTALLY make that Venom-type vehicle a Dark Eldar Hornet. That would be beyond awesome. Also I've always loved your color scheme and paint jobs. Very distinctive and very well done!

Thank you very much @Cavalier.
Although it was originally intended to be a venom that resembles this a bit:

Just with chains below the rear boom to transport infantry, Your idea and a pair of Laser Pulsars convinced me that, as i was going to magnetize it anyway, i will include a twin Pulsar option too!

Nice!

Now then! I thought you were accusing me of inspiring you to use a Djinn blade.
What did inspire you to use a djinn blade?
I love the overly spiked look in contrast to a cape. Can't have one's Archon being sucked into a Valkyrie engine...

@thesaltedwound : The weapon art from the last edition codex inspired me to model one, will probably use it as Huskblade, unless i get bored of winning, because the Djinn Blade is just terribly bad, in so many ways.
