A Realms of Chaos project (and Bloodbowl)
« on: January 19, 2020, 08:09:47 PM »
Made a start on the next mini project, a realms-of-chaos warband. Two somewhat chaotic dwarves join the fray.




The plan is to add a third dwarf, a pair of goblins, a skaven beastmaster, a chaos warrior, a big brute to be the hammer of the warband and secondary centerpiece and the leader Alicia Flickerstave on her bequeathed disc of tzeentch and attendant library.

Cheers! Slightly more colourful members for the next pair, the first goblin and last Chaos Dwarf.




Most of the other shields will have similar oldhammer-esque designs.

That third dwarf with the alien head and massive hand cannon is quite creepy looking! Where is that model from?

Isn't that a metal 2nd ed Hormagaunt head?

Awesome painting all around btw; this will be a truly chaotic warband! 8)

Cheers everyone, the dwarf is a GW Dwarf Irondrake with, indeed, an old metal Hormagaunt head. I love how they look, I used one on an older Bloodcrusher conversion too.

I agree with others here - that Chaos Dwarf with the orange alien head is excellent, but I have to say, the blue shield on the goblin steals it for me! Beautiful!

Cheers! I did enjoy the dwarf - his colours reminded me of my old Bloodbowl dark elf team, Elf Insurance, so I dug them out for a look and remembered I had some of the newer models. As such I quickly painted up a test Blitzer and made a start on a lineswoman, but I'll likely jump back to a warband figure afterwards. May as well add them to this log - they're still fantasy after all.

Here he is compared to an old linesman conversion too.

Lovely job. I paticularly like the Chaos Dwarf conversion and the bloodbowl minis.

Cheers!

Ended up continuing down the Bloodbowl path, finishing up that lineswoman and converting up, then painting, a witch elf.

Thanks Lost Egg!

Blood Bowl has unfortunately taken over a bit, as my regular Titanicus opponent asked me if I could teach him how to play in a week and a half, so I've been continuing to work on the team. Got another linesman converted and painted up, as well as the runner.





Which puts me up to a happy 5.



I've already converted up 3 more blitzers and another 3 linesmen, so all that's left to make is a single witch elf, which will probably require heavier chopping.
