No Mercy for the Masses

The Lost and the Damned reach critical mass.
Superstorm Sandy took away my electricity, so I passed the daylight hours building models.  The result:



That's about 400 Lost and the Damned models, including tons of plague zombies, four full IG blob squads, fifteen heavy weapon teams, and an aegis defense line. 

I plan to run this modified Saber Defense platform as my quad gun. 



Priming and basecoats:



After priming these models black, I airbrushed purples and greens almost randomly, so that when my colors are built up, there is a bit more variation than just the uniform black primer.  I am in a tricky position, where I need the horde of mutants and heretics to be both varied, yet carry a similar tone. 

Either way, I'm having a blast with this project.  I know it is going to be backbreaking to use such a horde in a game, but it should certainly be epic!

  1. Damn, that's incredible! I don't wanna be in your position, i.e. have to paint these hordes of Chaos.

    Wish you best luck and that you find a decent way to paint them.
