Tallarn Commander Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 And another project completed... Last week I finished up another batch of 6 Disciples Comms Officer Enok, he keeps the Nostroman 9th's officers in contact with their rank and file Sergeant Zoica, she can be quite brutal with her adze Gaur, and his friend Gibbon the ork head Kurx and Svar, lascannon gunners Pater, he can also be used as a character, Marauder Chieftain, or line trooper More to follow... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 And last week I also finished up a batch of 6 "greatcoat" troopers... They can also be used to fill various roles, Militia, Cultists, Marauders, Disciples, etc Trooper Anok Cthulu, he would also be great as a Renegade Commander, Enforcer, etc Master Sergeant Warptouch Trooper Bullets, he was told to put a Chaos Star on his coat. Something was lost in translation. 🙂 And my last image, Trooper Heldane You will see some, but not all, of these models at the OFCC. You will definitely see the sentinels and a decent number of the R&H infantry. Enjoy the pics! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hello everyone, I'm looking forward to this weekend's OFCC. I'll be bringing a Night Lords battalion and a Renegades and Heretics battalion as part of Team Infil-traitors. To test out my list I recently got in a test game. I lost horribly (my list is rather casual) but I had a blast. I killed 3 Eldar units and my opponent killed 17 Chaos units. 🙂 Here are some pics: The forces of Chaos arrayed before the battle The tricksy elves before the battle The Death Bats Squad move their Reaper Autocannon into position, it would do 1 wound to a Wave Serpent before dying Vox Officer Enok and Trooper October (who is my favorite R&H infantry model) move up with 5th Militia Squad Master Sergeant Warptouch bellows at the rank and file BloodLady is shot to death by the Eldar air force, but explodes doing 11 wounds! 2nd Squad's Champion, Lobo, hangs out with 2 troopers and the WIP Leman Russ, Khorne's Iref Hound of Chaos takes lascannon potshots at Wave Serpents The Nostroman 9th's black market "fixer," Ghoulmoney, advances up the board with 5th Squad Khorne's Ire petulantly stares down the Eldar air force before being blown to bits Hound of Chaos scrums with Scorpions And then is targeted by Fire Dragons Warpsmith Hoth and Master of Possession Bolivar whittle down a Banshee Squad 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 And I recently finished up 5 more R&H infantry and 2 traitor Leman Russes. Here are some pics: All 5 troopers Skara Bale Wirewolf Duqud Oracle 2 Leman Russes, Reaver and Khorne's Ire Now I only have to paint names on the bases of 24 troopers and then I'm ready for OFCC.

Tallarn Commander Posted August 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello everyone, I had a great time at Ordo this year. My chaos army (Night Lords teamed up with Renegades and Heretics) lost 4 games and tied 1. All my opponents were very nice and all my games were very enjoyable. Here are a baker's dozen photos from the event. Shot of the Night Lords with their Nostroman 9th mercenaries Blood Angels fliers target the Chaos line Traitor Leman Russ Khorne's Ire lays down a base of fire Awe-inspiring black and red Death Company liquidates Chaos Militia Trooper Chillgibber and his squad fight impressive blue and purple Genestealer hybrids BloodLady the Blood Slaughterer and 7th Squad assault the Genestealer Cult line 5th Squad charges Wraithblades 888 the Blood Slaughterer kills a breathtaking Wraithseer while 5th Squad mops up some Dire Avengers Deffy the Defiler and BloodLady the Blood Slaughterer face off against AdMech Dragoons 1st Militia Squad in melee with Vanguard 888 slices up a gorgeous Admech underground vehicle thingie Stormtroopers slay Cultists in the trenches. This battle felt like a Gaunt's Ghosts novel. 7th Squad's Mutant Rabble battles some beautiful Mordians As always, OFCC was great fun! Thanks to all my opponents and all my team-mates on Team Infil-Traitors! Night Lords, "The quick and the dead."

Romans832 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Dude, your army is just overwhelming... it was crazy, I don't think I could overshoot enough to keep up with the hordes. Thank you for a great game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted September 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hello everyone, I got in a very fun game against an Ork player at Meeples Games in West Seattle. This was my first time at Meeples and I loved the place. Great players and a great atmosphere. I brought 2000 points of my Night Lords and they got trounced. But the opponent was very nice and his Ork army was gorgeous. Here are some pics: Orks vs Night Lords before the game begins Orks vs Night Lords, bottom of Turn 1 Night Lord from the Prone Predators CSM Squad cowering before his squad is wiped out by a Boyz assault A gorgeous and deadly Ork plasma jet of doooooom (that's probably not the model's official name, but it should be) Rhinos Dragonne and Night Masque along with Daemon Prince Azrath The Bats Out of Hell, a squad of 4 Chaos Bikers with 2 plasmas and a power axe Ork Warboss on a bike with his boyz about to charge the Ork lines The surviving Night Lords: Azrath, remnants of 2 CSM squads, Raptor Lord Duvalier, and 3 Bezerkers after they have wiped out a Boyz Squad on Turn 2 Biker Sorceress Chamorro Raptor Lord Duvalier, I love the Claws of the Black Hunt It's the only good Night Lords thing: when I take their warlord trait I always forget it, morale debuffs rarely hurt anyone, and I never care enough about my infantry to spend 1 CP to give them a better cover save 🙂 In addition, I'm down to about 57 or so unpainted models. I hope to finish painting all my 40K models by the end of the year (knocks on head). Here are some pics of my remaining unpainted models. Enjoy the pics! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hello everyone, I hope your efforts to cope with the Coronavirus are going well. I live in the Kirkland, WA, the Washington state epicenter of the virus. Morale at work (which is a Fred Meyers) is pretty low and worries are high. So to entertain myself I thought I'd update my Ordo Fanaticus Chaos blog. It's been 6 months since my last post so it's high time I update ya'all with my Chaos exploits. Since last August I've finished 3 projects. The first is a batch of 16 Chaos Hounds (for Renegades and Heretics) or Flesh Hounds (for Khorne Daemons) I also finished Valkia the Bloody, a Chaos Sorceress with jump pack and force sword or a Chaos Lord with jump pack and Murder Sword Valkia is the first model in a Chaos warband of my own design, the Warpborn. None of the warband members were ever Adeptes Astartes. Instead, the were all spawned/created in the depths of the Warp using unique Chaos-developed geneseed. It will be a small Possessed-heavy warband, probably not exceeding 1,000 points. And I completed Annika, a Disciples Champion, Enforcer, or Renegade Commander for my Renegades and Heretics army, the Nostroman 9th Here is a photo of Valkia and Annika together And I managed to get in a game back in January. I brought both my Tallarn IG and my Night Lords CSM and played a demo game with a friend, 1,000 points a side. He chose to use the Tallarns and I used the Night Lords. It was a great game. In the end he won and we both had a blast. The board on Turn 1 Tallarn armored sentinel moves up with infantry squad in support Night Lords Chaos Marine squad moves into some ruins Harry the Helbrute says hi to a Tallarn sentinel And then Tallarn plasma gunners and lascannons say hi to Harry Tallarn Lieutenant Rushdies duels the Bezerker Gormenghast. Rushdie wins thanks to his power sword! Ninja Joe kicks an outflanking Tallarn heavy bolter team In a hilarious turn of events, Azrath the Daemon Prince and the Leman Russ Faith & Metal kill each other in melee The Tallarn tank exploded, removing Azrath's last 2 wounds Enjoy the pics everyone and be safe! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hello everyone, I finished up a trio of Chaos Ogryns for my Renegades and Heretics army. I'll either use them as a squad of 3 Ogryn Brutes or as Beast Handlers for my Chaos Mauler Hounds. Here are some photos: I also found some photos of a game I played last September with my Renegades and Heretics. It was actually a close game and, while I lost, I had a great time. The thin blue line of the Nostroman 9th faces off against Imperial Fists with Knight Here is a photo of Terminator Captain Bubba, apparently he was named by my opponent's brother, wading through 2nd Squad 3rd Squad member Pater in melee against Tac Marines My Malefic Lord, WarpRend, handing out smites like a boss. Meanwhile Enforcer Greenklaw is getting annoyed at getting sniped down to 2 wounds Mutant Rabble vs a Knight Summoned Plaguebearers tie up a IF walker And Renegade Commander Buzzsaw cowers behind a rock. If the game had ended on Turn 5, his ability to cower on an objective would have gotten me a draw. Enjoy the photos! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hello all, Since I'm sequestered in my home, I got more painting done. Today I finished up 5 models: Deffy, 2 Chaos Furies, and 2 Renegades and Heretics heavy bolter troopers. I've been working on Deffy since last February and I've been working on the other models since last summer. Here is a shot of all 5, you can see my cat Spike's foot at the bottom left I'm happy to have finally finished Deffy, I'd have to say he's my favorite Chaos Marines model. I've included him in every game since I got him. Those of you who have seen my battle reports and battle summaries know that he usually gets blown away on Turn 1. But at least he soaks up a lot of firepower so that my other units can often reach the enemy. Plus, if I'm lucky he lives long enough to reach melee where he can do some glorious things. His kills include Mortarion and a knight, and he put a bit of pain onto Bobby G. but didn't kill him. I'm thinking of using my Dark Apostle Nightgaunt with the Benediction of Darkness to increase Deffy's longevity. Here are some photos of Deffy. His top part is magnetized so it can turn around. I can also swap his reaper and his battlecannon so 1 is underslung and the other is on his side. He is the 2nd model I've painted up for my Warpborn Chaos Marines. The fluff is that he is Sorceress' Valkia's pet/mascot. His hobbies include getting belly scratches from Valkia and ripping the enemy limb from limb. I now have 6 completed Chaos marine walkers. Here are photos of all of them together. Perhaps I should design a list with all 6. Mary the Maulerfield always looks like she's waving at the camera Here are my 2 Furies, Jago and Volis and my R&H heavy bolter team, Bane and Kevor Sadly whenever I set aside points to summon my Furies I usually forget them. I think I'd better include them in a separate detachment so I'm more likely to remember. Plus, that way they can benefit from Daemonic Loci. Jago Volis R&H Heavy Bolter Team, I'll include them as part of a Disciple or Command Squad Kevor, the heavy bolter exemplifies the disdain for weapons maintenance that is typical among members of the Nostroman 9th Bane, yes, he has a heavy stubber in addition to his heavy bolter. I'm not about to tell him this is an illegal setup. I'll just say the heavy stubber is an autogun I tried to make the Chaos sigil on the concrete barrier look organic and hastily applied, I'm not sure if I pulled it off Now I'm done to 22 remaining unpainted models: 10 Possessed, 4 Chaos Terminators, 2 Greater Possessed, a Slaaneshi lord, a R&H autogun trooper, 1 Pegasus "technobridge," 1 Forgeworld emplacement terrain, 1 GW set of ruins, and 1 Pegasus set of ruins. Hopefully I can finish at some point this summer. Enjoy the pics! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hello everyone, I recently finished up Bruno, an autogun trooper for my Renegades and Heretics army. This means that my Renegades and Heretics army, the Nostroman 9th, is now "completed." Completed means I've finally, for the first time in 4 years, finished painting all my unpainted R&H models. I'm sure I'll be adding the force at some point in the future. For example, next spring I might want to add a box of Raging Heroes Jailbirds minis or some of the Blackstone Fortress traitor guard to the ranks of the 9th, possibly as Disciples. For your entertainment, here are some photos, background fluff, and a list of all my R&H minis. Enjoy. By the way, every model in the army is converted and every infantry model has a name painted on its base. Because I'm a hobby dork. 🙂 Long ago there was a noble family, the house of Nightfall. They lived in an age of peace and stability established by their world's ruler. Their ruler was Konrad Curze, the fair and just lord of the garden planet Nostramo. And then one day, a corrupt and weak emperor sent an assassin to slay the Lord Curze. The vile assassin succeeded. The emperor then destroyed the paradise that was Nostramo. House Nightfall managed to escape. But since that day they have never forgotten. Vengeance upon the emperor will be theirs! ■ COMMANDER DNEGRAH'S NOSTROMAN 9TH MERCENARY COMPANY, A RENEGADES & HERETICS CHAOS MILITIA ARMY [2,430 POINTS] HQ [181] • Dneghra Nightfall, Renegade Commander, powerfist • Buzzsaw, Renegade Commander, power fist, plasma pistol • Vicious Pete, Renegade Commander, power axe • WarpRend, Malefic Lord Dnegrah Nightfall has lead the Nostroman 9th Mercenary Company for decades.

The family feared Curze but respected his ability to establish order. They seek to avenge Curze's death at the hands of the Emperor. Buzzsaw is Dnegrah's lover. He won her affection through his devotion to Chaos and strict personal code of honor. Vicious Pete is the leader of a cruel band of space pirates subcontracted by Dnegrah.

Tallarn Commander Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hello everyone, I recently finished up 5 Chaos Marine models: 1 World Eaters Terminator, 3 Night Lords Terminators, and 1 Greater Possessed painted in the colors of my custom warband, the Warpborn. Here are the pictures: The four Chaos termies, they all have magnetized arms so I can swap out weapons if need be... A closeup of the World Eater Terminator, BloodGrin, with pair of lightning claws Bloodgrin with pair of power swords Sarrin, his head is magnetized so I can run his as a regular Chaos Terminator Or as a Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armor... Kavatar, Chaos Terminator Mirac, Chaos Terminator Here are all 6 Night Lords Chaos Terminators. The plan is to use NightClaws as a Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor with the Claws of the Black Hunt. Here is a photo of all 14 of my Chaos Terminators: 6 Night Lords, 1 World Eater, and 7 Death Guard I also rebased a Death-Guard Chaos Sorcerer, Resk Jadath, Warpborn Greater Possessed Jadath and Spike Since I got into this hobby 20 years ago, I've always wanted to have all my projects completed except for my current project. The logic being that I buy 1 project, complete it, and then I'm free to buy another project. Sadly, this goal has remained a holy grail of sorts as I kept buying miniatures over the years. But for the last 5 or 6 years I've curtailed my miniatures buying, often forcing myself to finish 3 projects before I can buy a new one. Now I'm down to owning only 16 unpainted miniatures which is a bit better than the 200 or so unpainted miniatures I had a decade ago! I hope to have them all completed by the end of this summer. Then I can finally buy a new project: a squad of Night Lords Warp Talons. Here are photos of all 16 remaining unpainted models Thanks for looking at my pics! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Is it just the angle/basing, or do the new Terminators actually loom over the metal ones by that much? Regardless, they look awesome, and getting your unpainted pile down that small is a major accomplishment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi Westrider, Both plastic Chaos Terminators are from the plastic Sorcer/Chaos Lord kit so it's hard to say whether the new plastic termies are bigger. 🙂 Sadly, I don't own any plastic regular Chaos Terminators so I don't know whether they are larger than the old metal sculpts. Here's an eye level view of all my termies though, the lord/sorc ones are definitely taller (although they are also on larger bases) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 OK, yeah, might just be the basing, plus, I think the posing on the Lord kit has it standing taller than a regular Termie anyhow. Thanks for the comparison shot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 My Deathwing army was a mix of Terminators from the Assault on Black Reach and Dark Vengeance starter sets, the 8th Edition Deathwing kit, and one or two pewter termies from way back in Second Edition... There was definitely some scale creep over that span. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hello everyone, After 4 months, I finally managed to finish another 6 models last week. I completed a batch of 5 Possessed Chaos Marines and a character who can be used as a Chaos Lord, Master of Possession, etc. They are all members of my Warpborn Chaos warband. With the completion of these models, I've finished painting all my unpainted Chaos models. And I only have 4 items left to paint until all my models are painted. Yay! Here are some photos: Iart, Baruk, Tal Arthul, Bara, Layak, and Talos (yes, I'm reading Aaron Dempsky-Bowden's excellent Night Lords trilogy) Bara Baruk Talos, her/his (it's Slaaneshi after all) back is magnetized in case I want to add a jumppack and the hand holding the hammer is magnetized It is Talos who liberated the Warpborn from their Dark Mechanicus creators within the warp! All praise Talos! Tal Arthul And since I've finally finshed up all my CSM (I hope to buy and paint up some Warp Talons early next year) I thought I'd set up all my little dudes and dudettes... Talos' Warpborn on the left, then Evita's Deathguard, Azrath's World Eaters (who some of you saw at OFCC in 2018), and Duvalier's Night Lords And my favorite CSM model of all, Ninja Joe Enjoy the pics! Warpborn, "I feel the warp overtaking me!" Death Guard, "Something is rotten in Denmark." World Eaters, "Kill! Maim! Burn!" Night Lords, "The quick and the dead." 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted November 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hello everyone, I've started working on my last five models. They are all terrain pieces that I will paint up in a desert style. Forgeworld Emplacement Pegasus Techbridge Necromunda Tower Ruins made from various and sundry, including GW Ruins Two traitor Leman Russes with Chaos Militia infantry support stand guard on Pharos VII's northern hive. The units in this pict are thought to be members of the Nostroman 9th Renegades and Heretics mercenary company. More ruins made from various and sundry, including Pegasus ruins Two loyalist Leman Russes with Tallarn infantry support, also operating on Pharos VII's northern hive. These tanks were detached from the Cadian 1223rd Armored Company to the Tallarn 23rd Infantry Regiment. As such, they have been painted in customary Tallarn desert schemes. A scheme which blended in well with Pharos VII's northern deserts. To give you all a sense of what the terrain will look like when completed, here are a couple of completed desert-colored terrain pieces I plan to try some new techniques with these 5 pieces though: oil washes, salt and hairspray weathering, lighting using LEDs, and a few small printed propaganda posters. And, for a final image, autumn is in full swing up here in Kirkland, WA. Here is a view from my painting table from a couple of weeks ago. I hope to finish these 5 models by the end of the year. Which will mean all my models are painted! I'm not sure what my next project will be, possibly Warp Talons. I've always wanted a squad. Evil Edward Scissorhands jumppack infantry ripping holes into realspace with their claws seem so Night Lordsy (except for the part about them being part daemon). 🙂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hello all, Now that the Covid quarantine restrictions are mellowing and most folks I know have their vaccine shots, the 40k community is returning to the King County area in Washington. I recently got my 2 first games of 9th edition. I really enjoyed both games. I really like this edition, the mechanics seem quite smooth. I managed to win both games. Which is odd because I only won 6 games last edition and I lost 28 games last edition. I suspect that my melee-heavy and troops-heavy Chaos armies might do better this edition, what with the smaller board sizes and the fact that opponents cannot camp at the back with gunlines as effectively. Here are a half dozen photos from the 2 games. In one game it was my Night Lords against Necrons and in the other game it was my World Eaters against Death Guard. A smaller pic of a really nasty Necron unit bashing in my Night Lords Chaos Lord, Duvalier Nightfall Luckily the Raptors would get away. And thanks to the Night Lords "Hit and Run" stratagem they were able to charge the warriors again after leaping out of combat. Night Lords First Claw Chaos Marine Squad dukes it out with Scarabs on an objective I've always liked taking troops-heavy lists, not that CSM do much, and this edition seems to really reward this approach. World Eaters Bezerker Bear Claw says hi to a Flail of Corruption Dave the Dreadnought, er World Eaters Chaos Helbrute, manages to take out a Lord of Contagion (I was lucky) World Eaters Chaos Marine Ghoulghast gets crumped by a Plague Marine Fun fact kids, don't charge Plague Marines with Chaos Marines. What was I thinking? World Eaters Chaos Lord Constantine is tarpitted by Pox Walkers He was equipped with Angron's old relic the Gorefather. Suffice it to say this was not the most glorious use of Gorefather. Enjoy the pics! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello everyone, I got in a game this weekend using my Renegades and Heretics Chaos Militia force. It was a fun 1,000 point game against a great AdMech opponent. We played at Wizard's Keep Games in Renton, WA. Wizard's Keep is hosting a 1,000 point 40K League. If any of your are interested, the league just started up. While the forces of the Renegades and Heretics lost, the game was awesome! Here are some photos.
