The Slaaneshi Whore Lord Strikes Again!

I'm happy to announce that the infamous Slaaneshi Whore Lord (for what else could he be with such a graphic nom de plume?) has decided to leave his permanent mark in the blogosphere and in miniature war-gaming history by starting his very own blog, thus giving birth to...

DIRGE AND PURGE

Now, you might say "Whatever, Skarvald. Yet another 40k-themed blog? Why should I even care?!?"

Well, sure. It's a blog, or a bleeerg like I like to call it, but the Slaaneshi Whore Lord has a few things to say about the hobby and he certainly managed to amaze ME with the few articles he wrote for Wolves for the Wolf God. I'll be honest here and say that he actually had a whole score of things to say and share here, but I was the one who dropped the ball in a period of extreme busy-ness, overwhelmed by my very own hobby glory. 

Here's the thing, though: 6th Edition is already upon us and the new Codex: Chaos Space Marine is juuuuust 'round tha corner. A lot of people are waiting for it to hit the stores, anxious to see what a 6th edition codex will look like, excited to start their very own Chaos warband or two or perhaps continue to bask in the GLORY of their long forgotten, dusty Chaos Space Marine minis.

Gone will be the days of "Counts As" Space Wolves armies, using Chaos miniatures.

Soon, Chaos will beckon.

And the Slaaneshi Whore Lord will be its Herald.  

So make sure to visit his fledgling-of-a-blog now before Chaos claims your body and soul.

 Join him now or suffer the consequences later.

You have been warned.

Slaaneshi Whore Lord's Arachnophilia: How to paint eight-legged freaks! Part I

Slaaneshi Whore Lord from the first It came from 4chan article sent me some more stuff from his little workshop in Germany. This time he talks about the trials and tribulations of painting Arachnarok Spiders, Warbosses on spiders and he is asking you to help him decide how to paint his gobbos! So sit back, relax and read SWL's quick and easy guest post guide on painting creepy crawlies using the power of washes! While far from standard, this might be the technique that your army with over 9000 models needs.  

It came from 4chan: Spider thread? Spider thread.

Welcome to the first season premiere of Wolves for the Wolf God's newest series:

In which I, Skarvald the Troll-faced, venture into the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet, nay - into the web's Eye of Terror in search of those with talent bestowed by the Chaos Gods themselves.

Think of it like a spin-off of DFG's It Came From the Forums series, except instead of lurking forums I'm lurking and posting hobby-related stuff from the... deeper parts of the web. Seriously though, I really like the comparison to the Eye of Terror. Everyone knows of 4chan and its infamy. Many avoid it due to its NSFW nature, the trolling, the shocking images..  but then again many visit 4chan for the same reasons. However, if you have been there then you know that amongst the corruption there lies talent and forbidden knowledge worth the Insanity and Corruption points gained while browsing 4chan's image boards.

There are a lot of things worth seeing! For example the /tg/ image board (it stands for "traditional games) is basically 60% Warhammer 40k and when people are not betting on who's going to kill Matt Ward or posting models sloppily covered with layers of thick paint you can find a lot of cool ideas, models and even fluff (ever heard of the Angry Marines? Okay.. maybe not the best example..) With the It Came From 4chan series I hope to show you some of the cool things that appear occasionally on 4chan while at the same time inspiring people to keep doing what they are doing and to stop muckin' about.

So lets start with our first worshipper of Chaos..
