A Warriors of Chaos update

A little dark I know, but I snapped these in a hurry. Below you can see the start of my Chaos Warriors unit. The conversions are a simple kit bash. I enjoyed making them and am quite happy with the way they turned out, even if they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Just 14 more to build for my unit of 16 that I plan on including in my army.




Next up we have the start of my first of three Marauder Horsemen units. This first unit will be 10 strong, armed with spears. Again a bit of a kit bash. The Chaos Knight lances are doing double duty in this army, acting as Halberds for the Warriors and Spears for the horsemen.



Again, sorry for it being so dark, but here is a WIP of the paint scheme I have planned for my Horses. I started with an Army Painter brown as a base coat and worked up from there. I am sticking with a very limited color palette, that will match with the rest of the army for a strong cohesive look.


I saved my favorite for last, the "Blood Father" the Warrior Priest Seer in my Marauder Warband for Mordheim. he got his ass kicked steadily last night, but things can only get better from here. especially after I get some paint on him. took quite a bit of time to get the Bloodletter skull helm right and the sculpting work on the hair and beard, but in the end I am pleased with the results.



That's about it for now, time for me to get some paint on some of these models. I will have better pictures to post once I get some completed stuff up.
Thanks for looking and of course any comments or ideas are welcome!

Warhammer Fantasy, finally some progress, and what's going on this weekend...

I know it's been awhile, but between work, family, holidays, Skyrim (damn that game) and so on, things have been quite hectic.

I have however, been hard at work on my new Warriors of Chaos army. My first unit of 20 Marauders is fully assembled and primed, and some even have paint on them!

Below you can see a "WIP" of my first unit


You can see that I only have the first rank with paint, and I have yet to add shields to many of the models, but I think it gives you a good idea of how the unit will look and the feel I am trying to get across for the whole army.



Above we have the first two models I built for this army, truthfully the paint scheme while simple, is quite effective, and I should have no trouble maintaining this level of quality throughout the whole project.

Below is a close up shot of the unit Standard bearer, the Marauder to his left (your right on the screen is not yet finished, I still need to add another highlight to the reds, and the horns of his helmet




He has since been completed. I have recently started work on a unit of 10 Marauder Horsemen, the horses have been assembled and cleaned, and I gave them a coat of "Army Painter" Leather Brown, I have just finished the bases, and they are awaiting a coat of Krylon black as I type. Hopefully I will get an update with some more WIP pictures up this weekend.

Speaking of this Weekend,

Saturday night I will be heading to Jester's Playhouse where Rich is going to be running a Realms of Chaos Campaign.
Entry is FREE as are the models that we get to build, and keep when we roll up our Warbands!
So, if you love Chaos and you like Warhammer Skirmish type games then come to Jesters on Saturday night, I think things are starting around 7:00pm

Then on Sunday I will be at AetherStorm Gaming, working on my Fantasy army and helping some folks with their painting. So, if you are looking for an excuse to paint some models, then stop by for some good conversation over a paint brush and a cup of coffee. I'll be there around noon.
