Release the hounds!!!!

For this update I present a unit of Chaos Hounds. These guys are straight up out of the box with a quick paint job threw on em. Plan for them is to move quickly up the flank and hopefully maneuver them into position to act as a supporting flank charge for my Chaos Knights.

Here are the pics, for some reason the fur turned out looking flat in the pics. The hide on the hounds varies a bit from hound to hound for variety's sake. (click the pics for a bigger view)

And now a few close ups.


Thats it for now. My next update will be a unit of Dwarf Thunderers. I know what you are thinking, "Dwarfs don't go with Chaos." And you are right, they don't. ;) In addition to my WoC army I have also taken on painting a Dwarf army (for my wife) and a Vampire Counts army (for her best friend). I will paint one unit of Dwarfs, then a unit of VC, followed with a unit for my WoC. Then just keep repeating that cycle till they are all finished. Should also keep me from getting burnt out.
Thanks for looking, all comments and feedback appreciated.

Now with 100% more magic!!!

I know it is hard to believe but here is another update!! This was a quick task since there was only two models to paint. I decided it was time to add a little bit of magical punch to the army so I added these two sorcerers, one with the mark of Tzeentch and one with the mark of Slaanesh. At a later date I plan to also add a sorcerer with the mark of Nurgle as well.

For my two magic users I used the two faced Tzeentch sorcerer that I acquired from a friend as part of a trade. Since, in my opinion, there are no suitable models in the Warriors of Chaos line for a sorcerer of Slaanesh I decided to "borrow" one from the Dark Elves line since they also have what is known as the Cult of Slaanesh in their fluff, I used the new plastic sorceress models that was released for Storm of Magic.

Also I gave each one of them at familiar on it's base. I may not give them a familiar every time, but atleast this way they are always there if needed. For the Tzeentch one I used the familiar provided but for the Slaanesh sorcerers I used the mini demonette familiar I picked up a few years ago.

Now onto some pics! (Click the pics to see bigger versions.)

First a couple of group shots.

Now for individual shots. First up is the Sorceress of Slaanesh. I decided to go with a Drow theme for painting Dark Elves to make it stand out from their Elven cousins.

For my Sorcerer of Tzeentch I painted it in pretty dark and drab colors so it would also make a good double as one with the mark Nurgle. If I had it all to do over again I would have painted the robes green though rather than brown.

Thanks for looking. Comments and feedback is appreciated.

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.

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.
