I will shill ANYTHING! Just kidding, I had actually intended to do two reviews, one on these models and one on the brushes I used for them--but as my mother always said, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." So I'll just be reviewing these models. A big thanks to the guys at Sandstorm Miniatures for contacting me last week about reviewing some models from their Kickstarter. They sent me some models from the Chosen and the Cult. I decided to break this review into two parts. I can't review models if I haven't painted them and I thought it would be faster to do it this way. As I write this, there are only 5 days left in their Kickstarter so I wanted to make sure something got posted while you could still pledge. I also wanted to be upfront that I am an avowed "warhammer guy," so I am reviewing these models through that lens and not through the eyes of their game (Sorry guys!).

There is a reason I decided these would be cultists and not plague marines themselves, and it goes to what I like most about these models. I'm a sucker from incorrect proportions. It's why I'll fight anyone who doesn't recognize Aly Morrison as the greatest sculptor ever! In other words, the size of their heads indicate that these are not Astartes, but bloated, corpulent humans (at least to me). However, the rest of the model scales pretty well with the current range of Plague Marines. 

I also chose to make a slight conversion on this model as well. I looked at the pose and just felt that he needed a large, rusty blade on his gun. So I added that with a piece of plastic card. This model was both the most simple and the most fun to paint due to his crazy proportions. They both fit the warhammer world and convey the disgustingness of a plague god.
