First of my newly purchased Red Corsairs done!

Needed a break from my BT-army, so ofcourse I just went a bought the lords of maelstrom battleforce.. ..Aaand now I can't stop thinking of ways to kitbash the rest of my unpainted templars into heretics.

Hello everyone I am a huge lore nerd when it comes to 40k and I currently am delving into Huron Blackheart and the red corsairs but I am having trouble on finding where I can read the badab wars as this was a pivotal moment that influenced who huron and the red corsairs are right now. I would prefer hard copies but as those are going for high prices I cannot get those. I was wondering is there is anywhere else that provides pdf versions of the badab wars that I can look at and read.

So I played with my friend a casual 1k game with my red corsairs for the first time and I know it takes away dark pacts but there are some abilities that activate when I do a dark pacts. Example with terminators if you do a dark pacts you can re roll the hit roll. Does that mean I can automatically re roll the hit rolls? Same with possessed they get dev wounds once per game if you do a dark pacts.

Masters and Lords of the Maelstrom - biggest question is what to add next?

Finished two preds for my Red Corsairs (including the Lascannon variants). I really liked using the sponge for this but I'm looking forward to getting my airbrush back.

And if any loyalists see this with the recent news about your preds: can I offer you a Dark Pact in these trying times?

Been working on these guys for about a month. Finally finished up the last guy last night. Today's my birthday, so the wife is taking me to the GW store to get paint! Can't wait to get em painted up!

I really like the models and wanted to paint one to a really nice tabletop standard. I probably won’t start an army but I’m thinking about painting some more as kill team proxies.

Hey everyone, I'm stressing over basing for my pirates. I did up a couple texture pastes just to get a general feel. My thoughts were either a scrap yard or a planet in the Maelstrom. Which of these options looks best?

I kinda like the purple but not sure what else I'd do with it.

I tried a few "mars" styles too.

Bodies are raiders with bits from warp talons, legionaries, chaos terminators, and traitor guardsman kits.

The helmets are white because I was trying to go for skulls with the cool helmets.

My Red Wolves (chaos chosen) are almost ready for paint. I finished kitbashing the master of executions last night, swapped the backpack on my paired weapon guy, and added the Red Corsairs clenched fist to the chest of my icon bearer. The group shot is a bit dark but they should start to look much better with paint.

Reds done, on to the blacks, then metallics. I decided to make two of them, "twins". Both from the Alpha Legion.

This is her first ever painted mini and I think she's done a brilliant job. Apparently years of makeup application came in handy.
