Warriors of Chaos VIII - Army Complete!

Got my last big update here for my Chaos. In short, I finished them. The whole lot, 1600pts worth. All done, and just im time to have a little breather before the Dwarfs arrive! What good timing!

So here we are, the last 7 Chaos Warriors.

 So that rounds off the Chaos Warrior unit. I have also finished the banner for the unit as well. I wanted to do another custom banner like the last one, but I wanted a famous quote from a movie on there, as it just suited this unit! Three guesses as to which movie this came from and by whom!

I’m still thinking of adding some small minor details to fill in some more of the banner, like little symbols and such, but I’ll leave it at the moment. In hindsight I think the eye is a little too small, but otherwise I quite like how it came out.

 So having finished this army, I cracked the rest out of the case and took some army photo’s. Here we go!

So that’s my army. Great to have actually finished one for once. I do plan on adding more to it at some stage, but for now I am content to leave it at that, and await the imminent Dwarf release. My Dwarfs could us some reinforcements in the campaign as they are getting thoroughly smashed!
Anyways, thanks for stopping by and for the feedback and encouragement.


I will post more Dwarf stuff soon.

Cheers!

Break from the Chaos with Dwarf Longbeards

Well, I ran out of Chaos models for my last unit. I'm still awaiting 7 old Chaos Warrior models to arrive in the post, so I thought I'd clear the painting desk of some clatter and paint the Longbeards that have been there.

This 5 brings my total to 15 I think. Halfway! My intention is to finish off my Chaos army (7 models left!), then that gives me a break from the Dwarfs so when they get released next month, I'll be able to focus on them. That's the idea anyway.

Here they are. Great models.

 Tonight, my gaming group are running the start of the next season of Blood in the Badlands campaign. That was another bit of incentive to get these Dwarfs painted. Hopefully I can do better this season! I'll try and remember my camera as well!

Cheers!

Warriors of Chaos VII

Finished another three Warriors of Chaos. These are all old old models, and the rest I need to finish the unit are all from the same era as well. However I am still waiting for them to arrive, but when they do, rest assured I'll post them up quickly!

Enjoy!

Just 7 more to paint before the unit is done!

Also I have the begining of the next seasons games tomorrow night, so I'll be cracking out for Dwarfs for maybe the last time before the new book. Lets hope they do better than last season!

Cheers!

Warriors of Chaos VI Chaos Warriors and a Standard

Well, got round to finishing a few more Chaos Warriors. A couple of those are old models, but I still like them. Be good to get a game with them sometime after all these years.

A newish Chaos Lord of Khorne. Really cool model. Really like the pose.

I love the menace this guy exudes. Really cool!

Next I have finished my Standard, though I haven’t done the banner yet. Hope that’s alright!

I used the new Chaos Lord as a base, hacked off the top of his weapon and used brass rod for the structure and stuck shields on it. The centre shield I wanted to represent a captured daemon, hence the glowing eyes. At the back end of the shield you can see the daemonic corruption that I have done. Originally I was going for tied rope and what not, but my greenstuff skills failed massively, so in the end came upwith this. Hope it looks good!

Anyways, here is where he is at.

Lastly a group shot.

Next, more Warriors! Only 10 more to go.

Cheers!

Warriors of Chaos V Chaos Warriors

Got another update here. Another two Warriors for my final unit. Both Khorne models, and one a very old one. Like I have mentioned before (maybe), my army is multimark, and I wanted my Warrior unit to be all armed different and potentially hae different marks. That way gamewise I can try different combinations and it represents my background and ideal of the amy, being that it is the sole plaything of my Daemon Prince Ommadon and he travels to defeat championd and gets them to join his unholy host. That’s the idea anyway, which is why you may find later on some other different marked models in there.

Anyways, here is some pics.

 Group shot.

And lastly is wip for my standard for this unit. I wanted something different so I used a newer Chaos Lord model as the base, and with some brass rod made a banner pole. I wanted some shields on it cos I thought it would look cool. Banner of course will be paper, but I’ll design that at the end. 

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Cheers!

Warriors of Chaos IV Chaos Warriors

Well, looks like I have one more post for this year, before it is up. Here is another two Chaos Warriors for my unit. As already stated, this unit will be all metal, and include all unique models, as in my mind, Chaos is random, so they will equip themelves with what they want to use, not all the same weaponry. I hope that makes sense!

Anyways, here is the first. An old Nurgle Champion. Great model.

Next is an old Games Day model, the one holding the Wood Elf. I quite deliberately hunt down rare models for my armies, as the increased cost does two things. 1, it makes my army unique, and I love that aspect. 2, the increased cost will make it more likely that I won't give up on the army and continue to see it through till the end.

Lastly, a group shot.

The Games Day model represents my musician for the unit, using the Wood Elf's screams as encouragement for the unit. I rather like that idea.

So, 4 down, 16 to go. Next up hopefully will the be the Standard and another Rank and File. I have something special planned for the banner, namely the best quote from Conan the Barbarian. I must put that on the banner somewhere!


Thanks for looking.

Cheers!

Battleboard number 5

Probably going to be my last post for the year. Thought I'd show the completed Battleboard number 5. Usual method to painting, with mainly shades to add some depth (Agraz and Nuln Oil), and a lot of bleached bone (or Ushabti) for the skulls. Oh and there is a lot of skulls. So many, that I'm glad I don't have to do another section like this!

After this, there is only 1 more board to paint, and then that is all of the boards! Can't wait to take a finished photo of the lot. Finally the dream of owning a completely painted gaming table is close!

Well, back to it.

Cheers!

Warriors of Chaos III Chaos Trolls

Finally finished off my Chaos Troll unit that I started long ago. I now have 8 fully painted. I kept the paint scheme similar to the others, except I added a Nuln Shade at the end to darken the recesses.

Here they are.

Group shot of the unit. I have even found out the way they can all rank up easily.

I have also managed to get a start on my last unit (for now) of Chaos Warriors. Now the colour scheme is he same as my Battle Standard, not because I plan on following Khorne (all the time anyway), but I have always liked the crimson and gold armour for Chaos. So that's how I'm painting mine.

For the unit itself, since I have only 20, I wanted to make it special. I have collected a number of old and new metal models for the unit, to ensure all are unique. I envision that my Warband is very roughshod, considering it is in the command of Ommagon the Daemon Prince. To keep with this rough theme, and my own personal idea that Chaos Warriors would probably just fight with their chosen weapons all the time, most of the models in the unit are armed with a whole selection of things. I think it will look cool, and as long as the opponent knows what they are armed with and with what Mark, I don't think it should be too much of a problem.

Anyways enough waffle, here are the first 2 completed warriors.

This is the Limited Edition model, from the 25th Anniversary of Warhamer, Harry the Hammer. Great model.

This is the old Crom the Conqueror model, that I have had for a very long time.

 2 down, 18 to go!

As I have already mentioned, I painted the armour similar to the BSB.

Black Undercoat
Khorne Red
Blood Red Highlight (old paint)
Red Wash (any red shade will do)
Nuln Oil shade
Blood Red highligh the middle and upraised parts of the armour

I've also got a pic of my growing Chaos Army, Most of it painted in the last 2 weeks. Not bad!

Thanks for stopping by, back to painting.

Cheers!
