Title: Realm of Chaos - Tzeentch Warband (added dark elf sorceress)
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on December 19, 2014, 11:28:38 AM
Here the Tzeentch Champion for my Realm of Chaos warband.
I chose the 1994 Aekold Helbrass miniature, and will add three 1994 Dark Elves Black Guards as his initial retinue.

I tried to paint it with an old school paint scheme.

My name is Moserath from the House Uthorin.
I was destined to become a member of the feared and respected black guard at the service of our Witch King Malekith.
But the Lord of Fate, Tzeentch, had planned a different destiny for me.
Now I follow the path that HE showed to me.
Follow a GOD whose gifts are generous is far greater reward than only be the servant of a mortal King.


The Beginning: Moserath was an aspiring Black Guard of the Dark Elves.
During his training, he received the call of Tzeentch come from the realms of chaos over the watchtowers.
Before completing the bloody ritual that would make him a black guard, he betrayed his oath to the Witch King.
Three fellow black guard trainees joined him.

Moserath the Guard of Change, Champion of Tzeentch,
also know from the dark elves as "the Black Guard Renegade"

Thanks, here the first of the Black Guards, I tried to use the original paint scheme of a citadel Tzeentch Warrior I've seen in a eavy metal page (the second picture):

That's lovely, great old scool paintwork. It seems to me I'm browsing through an older White Dwarf :)

That really is just fantastic.  :-*

I have never been a fan of those figures, they just seem too chunky to me, but your paintjob has totally changed the look and feel of them. Absolutley wonderful.

I concur with the Prof. - total Golden Age 'Eavy Metal there.

That retro basing is excellent, getting flashbacks to high school. What a great idea to use authentic 'Eavy Metal colour schemes in such a way.

Impressive painting on these. Don't care much for the bases, but the rest is awesome. I'm looking forward to see the warband grow.

There are two things I love about these:

1. You have picked a really striking color palette and have made each one unique while at the same time tying them together by way of their bright variations of color rather than a single unifying color.

2. By mixing non-traditionally paired miniatures, you have created your own story. Very Epic Heroes of you!  :D

Great stuff!  :-*

Another picture of the same model but with different side, what picture is better? The old one or the new one?  :?

Nicely done!

I'd say the second photo is clearer and cleaner, even though the pose is a bit more static from that angle.

I like the first picture the best. In any case great work on you painting your guys looks better than the original paintjobs in white dwarf!

Really great project. i'm admiring people who dare using bright colors, and obtain such a great result.

One day, i'll stop being a muted tones and brown paint coward  :D

Here a Cold One Rider join the warband (a Dark Elf Chaos Knight), now the warband is complete (for now). 9 models, the sacred number of Tzeentch ;)

Post by: DeafNala on March 17, 2015, 01:25:57 PM
VERY WELL DONE! That is the first blue Cold One I've seen; it's such a SPLENDID color I'm surprised I haven't seen it done that way before. The rest of the brushwork & color selection is of equal BRILLIANCE.

A Dark Elf Sorceress join the warband.
I'm using a new digital camera (usually I do my photos with an old digital camera from about 10 years ago, but I finished the batteries) with a new background but I'm not fully satisfied.
It's harder to do a photo that really show the real appearance of the miniatures. I yet tried several times.
Probably the better picture, near to the original is the first one, but it too smaller. Maybe I will try again to make a better photo, meanwhile here three photos
