Dark Vengi's Malicious Hordes of Evil

I've been a busy little painter/modeler the past few days. Originally i was going to post each of these with an intricate fluff article like Chris did on his blog, but there are a lot of pictures and i felt like if i added words it might be off putting. Therefore i bring you a glorious photo dump.

there is one more that i have modeled that isn't pictured here, but he's what i'm calling "The Corpse Ogre" so i'll let your imaginations roll about for a bit.

Dark Vengi. The madman of Eat-A-Lee

His name is whispered with terror in the civilized lands of northern Eat-A-Lee,  the mad man inventor who knows not the bounds of human morality. Whole villages are found mysteriously empty at that remains is the acrid of smell of blood and gasoline.   The Sanctum Guard, the so called protectors of these lands and divine warriors of the Church of Blinding Dawn, almost killed him in the Battle of Floor-Rinse, but where his brothers meet their death, he escaped.   He knew that he must escape so close and deadly a pursuit as the Sanctum Guard would provide, so he went south into the haunted lands...

Along the way turning whole towns into horrifying Mutano Automata, an army of mutants and half-deads enhanced with dark science, and magic.  

With his screening cloud of Mutano risen, Dark Vengi had one more plan before leaving the north. A little payback for the death of his friends and family in the Tuscanii Raiders, that were killed during Floor-Rinse.  

The Duchess, a leading member of the church, was passing from her capital to many of the small missions and chapels built in the outlying villages. A perfect target, for Vengi,  a noble out of her city was not common and he was certainly libel to take any advantage he could get.   

The Mutano washed over the convoy, the Sanctum Guard holding fast held off the first several waves of attacks. It was not till Vengi committed his Automata Magnifico, great vehicles of deranged purpose and design, that the day swung in his favor.  The Duchess, was taken, turned into a Mutano Automata herself, sickening in her form and deadly in her armament she was a hideous mockery of her former self.  

She travels with him still, an idle plaything for Vengi to abuse as he sees fit.      

Knowing that the Sanctum Guard would soon come for him with a fury, he headed with all due speed to the South.  his army very much depleted and his vehicles virtually eradicated, he needed a safe place to regroup, and experiment freely.   That place was Roam, the haunted city, rumored to be filled with ghosts, mutants, and worse from the before times,  still irradiated, and ash choked.  It would be a perfect place to lose these northern church goers to pursue his own agenda....

So there is a very rough little background for my Nuclear Renaissance gang leader, i'll be playing against my friend Chris from Sippin' on Paint Water.  Below i have Dark Vengi, who i painted the other night, i'm not so pleased with the conversions, i'll probably do some hand swaps and maybe change the head, but for now i think he turned out rather well. 

I hope to have the rest of the members of his starting crew finished tonight or tomorrow, then i might revisit him. hope you enjoyed it

Art Inspiration #2 & The Armies Army Kickstarter launches

Hey all you guys and gals. Its Wednesday and I've decided that it would be fun to give you a couple pieces of art to inspire you in whatever it is that you might be modelling/painting/or playing.


So today i bring you first off, a oil painting from the Napoleonic Wars.

a neat-o city of ridiculous size made entirely out of wood

 A sentry robot, that i assume hovers about and maintains order

A picture from the "World War Robot" books, which is a great (albeit expensive) graphic novel series and art franchise. 

Also.  Even though i mentioned him last post,  Armies Army has asked his followers to spread the word about his Kickstarter for the Near Future British Commonwealth forces in 15mm.  The initial green that he did is really great, so definitely go and check it out. 

That's all for now everyone, i hope you enjoy the pics and the kickstarter.
