Made some more progress on my traitors
Got a decent haul for trading some dg stuff that had been sitting around unloved for a year. Capri sun not included.
With this lot I got 20 new in sprue old cadians. These will be bashed into vraks styled militia, 3 old cadian heavy weapons teams, which will also be vraksian, a painted leman russ, an on sprue russ and an on sprue chimera.
The chimera was very quickly built and painted along with the remaining les grognards and grognard hwts.
The regiment has received a name, too. They're the Atlantic 114th Blighted Horsemen, and now they have some proper armored cavalry!
I'm really happy with how the dozer blade came out.
I also got the second batch of les grognards painted as well as the second batch of heavy weapons.
I'm so excited to get these guys on the table!

Patriotism and the banality of evil
A child writing a letter of support to her local Black Legion warband with a blood candy bar attached. The letter thanks the brave Space Marines for their service and has a crude drawing of the eight point Eye of Horus.
Sometimes a child attaches a piece of jerky or a shelf-stable curry pouch instead.
A Beastman village baking flatbreads for a traitor guard regiment about to embark on a Black Crusade and be atrociously evil. Each flatbread has the hoofprints of the breadmaker on it.
A school in Black Legion territory having an assembly celebrating "our brave freedom fighters", complete with flag waving.
Schools in the Eye of Terror teach galactic history framing the Black Legion as liberators and freedom fighters, both from the Imperium and other legions.
Chaos cultists descended from populations expelled by the Imperium during the Great Scouring telling their kids how "we suffered", to keep the flame of Vindicta alive.
Adoring fans of the Black Legion swooning as Space Marines hand out flowers during a military parade.
Black Legion-aligned chefs making a gigantic plate of hummus with the Black Legion emblem on it (made of toppings such as herbs and olives). The chefs insist it is noble and heroic as opposed the barbaric hummuses of the enemies of the Black Legion that contain corpse starch or will give you food poisoning.
Two traitor guardsmen take a picture in front of a lucky windchime, pledging on the strength of their love as they head into battle. The photo has a glow and sparkle filter and text overlayed on it with the corniest text effect possible.
The same couple posing on top of a body of corpses of their enemies. It's okay, they were scumbags who hated all that's good.
Chaos cultist growing up idolizing her warband leader, urging him to divorce his Imperial Fist wife after they go on a rampage and killed a bunch of civilians trying to run away from their abusive husband. Somebody's jealous.
Chaos cultists hearing about bad things the Black Legion did and it only makes them more patriotic, to the point they mock the victims.
Chaos cultist children collecting Black Legion GI Joes and trading cards depicting notable commanders and scientists.
Towns putting up gigantic "Welcome Home Space Marines" and "welcome home brave soldiers" billboards when their kids come to visit. There will be a gigantic welcome home party!
Traitor guardsmen visiting children at the hospital. The children hope the guardsmen have a good war and kill lots of people.
Black Legion Wounded Warriors program funded by civilians helping guardsmen with lifechanging injuries. Each year the program gets a flood of donations.

Imagine some Chaos cultists know they're going to die, whether it's because a rival warband is going to blow them up or Imperial forces are closing in on their location or Tyrannids coming to eat them.
And they use their last moments to look at hentai on their communicator devices.

Knew the Hatchcutter would be easy to bend to my dark purpose, but I didn’t really think about just how cool it’d look with the Khornate veteran voidsman helmet
