One step closer, Chaos Knights finished.

I decided to add a unit of five Chaos Knights to my fledgling Warriors of Chaos army for two reasons. Reason number one is because I think I could use some fast moving hard hitting calvary. Reason number two is because they came in the army box. ;)


I painted each knight a different color along the same lines as I did my Chaos Warriors. I think that even though they are all different colors they work well together. To help them flow I made the trim on the armor bronze in color and made the horses all black with red eyes. I also gave them full command with a banner showing thier allegiance to Khorne. Over all they are built straight up with just a couple of small conversions along the way.

Now some pictures. (Click on the pics for a bigger view.)

First up is some group shots.

Sides.

Now for some close up shots.

Well thats it for now. As always I appreciate all feedback. Thanks for looking, hopefully the next post will come pretty soon since next on the list is a pair of sorcerers, hopefully they won't take to long to finish up. 





My Marauders are finished.

After almost two months I finally have another unit for my Warriors of Chaos army finished. I introduce my unit of 20 Marauders with full command. My goal is to have the whole army finished by October so my painting style for this army is a "quick and dirty" style, but I still think it looks pretty good.

They are mostly all box stock with the exception a few small weapon conversions and head swaps. The sprues came with too many helmeted heads for my tastes so I used some empire knight heads I had laying around. For my fluff the warriors of my tribe are marked by the gods from birth with fiery orange/red hair so all hair and beards in the army is painted as such. (and no I do not have red/orange hair myself ;) ). Also I posed the models on the sides of the unit so they look like they are watching the flanks, even though it means nothing in game terms I like the look it gives the unit.

Now on to some pictures (click on a pic for a bigger view). First up is some whole unit shots.
(please ignore the banner pole, it has since been fixed. I tried to make it look old but it turned out weird and I forgot to fix it before taking the pictures.)

And here is the start of the next unit, 5 Chaos Knights.

Hopefully this will not take as long to get finished. Please stay tuned for updates and all feedback is appreciated. Thank you for looking,

First squad of warriors completed.

Today marks the completion of my first unit of Warriors  for my Chaos army. Eventually I plan on running three units of these fellows. This first unit is 14 strong with a lord thrown in. The Lord is just a regular warrior with the fancy helm option. In bigger games he will probably be just the unit champ then and the regular champ will become a regular fellow. Each guy is painted differently to give the unit some color and break up the monotony of a unit of same colored warriors. Plus I have always liked the way a unit of Bretonions look in their different colored armor and tabards and figure, "Why not, these guys are kinda like knights anyways. Granted they are evil knights bent on world domination, but still knights". Also I made a quick cheap movement tray for them to make my life a little easier.

Well enough rambling now on to the pics. (as always click the pics to see a bigger version)

Thanks for looking. As always feedback and comments are welcomed.

Warhammer Fantasy Battles time!!!!!

As my last post stated the time has come to give Warhammer Fantasy a honest go. It seems that WFB is getting a lot of attention at the local game shops (The Riflemen and Lost Legion) with a bunch of new people starting armies for the first time. Also my close friends are starting as well with Savage Orks, Vampire Counts, and Demons. As an added bonus my wife is starting a Dwarf army, and me? I am starting a Warriors of Chaos Army!!

To get started I picked up a Battalion the last time I was at Lost Legion Games (it comes with one unit of Warriors, one unit of Marauders, five Knights, and some hounds. Bill hooked me up with the army book, some extra hounds, three warriors, and Wulfrik. And as a trade with Rob and Lisa I have two more units or Warriors and a Sorcerer.

And a pic, just because what is a miniature post with out pics? ;)

To start off I painted up a test mini. The boots and such will all be the same color across the unit, but the armor, shield, and cloak of each warrior will vary, kind of like the knights in  a Bretonnia army vary from one to the next. I am not going crazy with these guys since they are rank and file I am just going for a quick decent paint job that looks good on the table.

And as an added bonus here is the start of my wifes Dwarf army. (She still has a box of Thunders to pick up from LLGC.)

Well, thats it for now. More to come soon as the army progresses. So please stay tuned for updates. :D



Why I have not been finishing up the Battle Wagon.

Because I have gotten side tracked. ;) The Battle Wagon is a free time project for when I have nothing else to work on but I recently had to add this monster to my nid army, a Trygon Prime. Eventually I plan to repaint my whole nid army in this color scheme, but that will be another spare time project lol.

The color scheme is bone colored flesh with green armour plates and black claws/teeth. I used a variety of parts from the Marloc/Trygon/Trygon Prime options to make this beast a bit different from the norm. Enjoy the pics and as always feedback is appreciated. My next update will showcase the start of Warriors of Chaos Warhammer army.

Bring out the big gun.

Sorry for the delay in updates, life has gotten in the way of my painting time.
But I have an update today!! I have finished the main body of the Boom Gun turret. It is really nothing fancy but I do have a bunch of little details to paint and attach to it. Also like all the rest of the yellow it still needs it's final high light (I am waiting till it is all together before doing the finial highlights). I forgot to finish the "lightning bolt" symbol on the side of the turret but I will touch it up after while.
Now onto the pics, these are not my best pics, I just got a new lens and I am still getting the feel of it. :)

Thanks for looking, the next update will be the front armor plate/ram. Till then, thanks for looking and all feedback is appreciated.

Roof over our heads.

The rear passenger compartment roof is finished. Nothing really fancy, just the basic roof with a few patch panels and some bright yellow paint!! It counts as an "Ard Case upgrade and makes the wagon no longer count as open top. Means that the orks can no longer assault from it if it moves, but it is meant to be more of a fire base anyways. And now....PIC TIME!!! (The pics turned out a bit washed out and way too bright, but I figured since it was not an exciting update that they would do.)

The left side.

The right side.

Next up will be the big turret.
