Dollhouse AA in 1/76

Had this kit in my stash for way too long and finally got it painted up thanks to quarantine! The Dollhouse AA is a rare beast, I think this kit was made by the Japanese garage casters Zionel Westen Bis quite a while ago. Will hopefully do a base for this too, maybe involving some of the other 1/76 Maschinen Kreiger stuff I have...

Emperor's Children Minigeddon Force

I've had this list brewing for a while. Initially it came from talking about the different Chaos factions available in Armageddon, me looking at Noise Marines and thinking that they seemed very good- fearless, FF3+ infantry with Disrupt shooting. Very tasty! After that though it mostly turned into me finding a way to model the incredibly goofy old Slaneesh titans.

Stuff without actual models-Slaanesh Subjugator image - Warhammer ...
That's right, this nonsense...

Inspired by the Soul Grinder, I had the idea of combining one of GZG's 15mm walker drones with a suitably sultry female figure. I ended up going for one of the Gael figures from Brigade Models Celtos range.

The rest of the force are GZG miniatures Dirtside Minitatures, as they're cheap but definitely fit the part!. I feel that the Epic scene does depend a little too much on the more pricey options rather than being a bit more creative with its proxy options.

Anyways, without further ado, the Joyous Dirge warband!

Emperors Children (Epic UK v070414)
==================================================

EMPERORS CHILDREN RETINUE [355]
Chaos Lord, 6 Noise Marines, Daemonic Pact (includes 1 lesser daemon), Icon Bearer, 3 Rhino

EMPERORS CHILDREN RETINUE [325]
Chaos Lord, Daemonic Pact (includes 1 lesser daemon), 4 Noise Marines, 2 Havocs

ARMOURED COMPANY [300]
6 Chaos Predator

SUBJUGATOR TITAN [225]

DAEMON POOL [45]
3 Lesser Daemon



Here's the Noise Marines, which are Kra'vak infantry. These come in two ordinary poses, a rocket launcher and a machine gun type weapon. Whilst there is a pretty high amount of infantry I had to reject, you get loads in a pack and the properly cast models have plenty of detail. The fellows on the pebbles are Lords, whilst the flag (a simple cocktail stick, with some paper soaked in PVA glue) is for the Icon Bearer. The Rhinos are LIPPC APCs



For generic Lesser Demons I used the mini-bugs. Whilst not very Slannesh, they'll do as Beasts.

The Predators are M44 Coonhounds.

The Subjugator! In game it has a pair of Titan Killer close combat weapons- I feel the massive sword captures that well!
