Title: Chronomancer Warband... Treasure Hunter, Crossbowman+Archer added 04 OCT 2015
Post by: Pappa Midnight on 06 September 2015, 02:16:51 PM
Having completed (almost) my Necromancer warband I thought I'd post some pics of my Chronomancer group.

First up is my Chronomancer and Apprentice. I thought I'd have the Chronomancer using a younger version of himself (from a different timeline) as his apprentice!

The Chronomancer is virtually a straight GW Mage build and the Apprentice is a heavily modified Perry archer with lots of GW bits.

Next my Thugs

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/FG_Chrono2_zpsabo9na4k.jpg)

A Thief, Treasure Hunter and Infantryman (Barbarian????)

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/FG_Chrono4_zpshyimz2ew.jpg)

A Man-at-arms, Crossbowman and Archer

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/FG_Chrono3_zpsddqnimpq.jpg)
The crossbowman uses a Perry archer body and the Archer uses arms and head from GB Heavy Arab Cavalry.

And finally my Templar (who has seen better days!!!)
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/FG_Chrono5_zpsqfoqm0xx.jpg)
Cobbled together from FG mini, Fireforge and GB arab.

I was contemplating having younger and older versions of the various type of soldier to fit with the Chronomancer theme.

Hope you like them so far.

These look great.lovely kitbashing.I like the idea of the younger and older versions of the same wizard, especially like the thought of him learning from his older self. Thanks for sharing

Just completed my Chronomancer, Apprentice and Templar.
 
The Chronomancer and Apprentice are the same Wizard from different points in time.........

The Templar is only 23 years old but has been ravaged by the temporal distortions caused by his master.

Love the colors of the robes of the wizard and apprentice.
Well done.

I love kitbashing, includig yours!
The wizards however make for an even better thing - a great idea! Even if taken from the fiction delivered with the nickstarter.

I also like the 23 years old (!) templar, whose clothes seem to have taken as much time damage as his beard :)

Keep on showing your stuff

Thank you for the comments.

Strangely enough the edges of the cloaks are purple but for some reason my digital camera seems to make it come out blue.....

Even if taken from the fiction delivered with the nickstarter.
I haven't actually read any of the fiction from the nickstarter. I'm assuming you are talking about the idea of an older and younger version of the same wizard? You know what they say...... great minds.......   lol

They are great.
Looks like the Chronomancer and apprentice leave the dirty work to the Templar.
They are so immaculate compare to him ... magic cloaks I guess.

I really like your selection of figures.  Cool backstory for your chronomancer; When I saw the build pic I was wondering why you chose the same head.  The arab; GB=Gripping Beast?  I'd like to get some of those to march with a northstar summoner.  My favorite though has to be the poor templar.  He brings to mind arthurian Pellinore or Don Quixote :) .

Excellent painting and great conversions/constructions too.

Brown and blue always work really well together i think.  I used it as the scheme for a Necromunda gang.  http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Necromunda (http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Necromunda)

I really like the 'veteran' look you've achieved for your figures too.  They look like a band who've been living out in the elements for many weeks.   :D
