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.)

Next up will be the big turret.

Dakka Dakka!!!! The side gunners are done!

This is a small update, but I have the side gunners completed. I started to paint some yellow on them as well but I was afraid they would blend in to much, I wanted them to "pop" so I did them in "normal" clothing colors. I didn't realize it till I downloaded the pictures but I didn't get any good ones of the guns, I will remedy that in the future at some point.
Now onto the pics.

Right side gunner.

And a view from the back.

The next update will see the addition of the roof to the rear compartment.
Thanks for looking and any feedback is appreciated.
Till the next time,

Coming out on top.

Small update, there is now a roof over the cab. Nothing fancy just a simple lucky blue Ork glyph added to the top. The hardest part of this project has been trying to make it look like it has been painted by Orks but doing so in a way that keeps the Wagon from just looking crappily painted.
Well on to the pics.

Three quarter view.

From the other side.

Well thats it for now, next update will see the side gunners painted.

Thanks for looking.

Getting my "ROLL" on or the wagon now has wheels.

A little more progress has been made, the Battle Wagon now has wheels and tracks. I tried to make them worn but not too beat with just a hint of rust. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. (Click on the pics to see them bigger.)

Some wheel and track close ups.

Next up is the cab roof, so stay tuned. :)

Main body 98% finished.

As the title says, I now have the main body shell mostly finished. So far it is turning out as planned, the yellow does not look perfect so that makes it perfect lol.

If a plate looks like it was part of the original construction I painted it yellow, but if it looks like it was added as a repair at a later date I tried to make it look like it was just cut out and stuck on. I tried to make the bare metal look weathered with rust stain  lines and though it turned out ok I think a little more refinement and I'll love it. Well enough talk, on to the pics.

Now some detail shots,

Well, thats it for now. I just need to finish up a few tidbits and then I will start on the wheels and tracks.
Thanks for looking, any and all advice is welcomed.
