Hello everyone,
Today we are presenting a side project, developed alongside our Apostles of Contagion project. Indeed, we currently possess a true armada of Chaos Cultists, ready to clash on the battlefields.
Our goal was to ensure that these miniatures belong to a “plug-and-play” cult, allowing them to be integrated and played in any of our Chaos armies in Warhammer 40,000.
The Lost and the Damned armies have always particularly appealed to us, ever since the campaign of Abaddon’s 13th Black Crusade. From a lore perspective, it is now entirely possible to build a themed army using the Chaos Space Marines codex. This opportunity is what motivated us to create posts referring to this army, rather than remaining exclusively focused on our Death Guard project.
Here is therefore our first band of 20 cultists. The slightly disappointing aspect, however, concerns the rules: they have lost access to heavy weapons. We thus find ourselves in an in-between situation, where more renegades are available in the codex army list, but without the richness of options once offered by the Siege of Vraks lists from Forge World.
We find it unfortunate that special and heavy weapon options have disappeared. This is probably due to a lack of space on the new generic sprue. A frustrating choice for us, especially since we had invested a fair amount of money at the time to complete our squads with these specific weapons. The older cultist kits did not always result in “clean” unit sizes either, as it was possible to build units in numbers other than multiples of ten.
These are therefore the first 20 of a long series, with many more to come. However, we are also giving Sigur some breathing room, as between the poxwalkers models and the cultists, we are well aware that this is repetitive work.
But the grand finale should, we hope, be a sight to behold… even if we are fully aware that it may disappear very quickly under the guns of a Titan.
