Title: Classic GW Chaos Warriors
Post by: **GS** on July 20, 2018, 02:52:35 PM
Hi again,
a few years ago an old friend came to my place had me help him carry a whole closet of miniatures into my house.

Included were more than 40 classic GW Chaos Warriors from the 1980s and 1990s.

I've begun painting them. They are extremely easy to paint as they tend to be bold but well done sculpts.
Have a look:

Great figures! There's something about those old Citadel Chaos miniatures that hasn't really been replicated since.

I much prefer the old 80's ones to the current ones, that's probably nostalgia though!

Yeah, that snake tongue one is about £10 on ebay at it's cheapest.

 I must get my chaos army photographed. Been 30 years in the making and its nearly finished.

Post by: beefcake on July 26, 2018, 11:31:17 AM
Yes I love that snake tongue guy too but I was just wondering, is it a tongue or is it actually its head? I always thought tongue too.
Title: Re: Classic GW Chaos Warriors
Post by: jon_1066 on July 26, 2018, 11:57:46 AM
I always pictured it as not a tongue as such but the sucking part of a fly mouth (being a nurgle type).

I love old school GW minis.  It's cool to see these veterans get some love.  It's surprising how many of them ring a bell from my childhood.

The Realm of Chaos releases were like a great crescendo in the symphony of fantasy miniatures production. Thanks for sharing these; viewing them is a real pleasure.  :-*

I painted kaleb not that long ago! Nowhere near as good as yours.
I had to find an alternative horse for him as the original one looks like a shetland pony

Oh look, it's old Slurpy!

One of my mates had one, and we all called it Slurpy. This was as far as wit had developed amongst us at the time.

Love this thread - I think my favorite is the guy in the pink and orange with the twin-bladed axe!
