Hello,
I am very happy about the new Dragon Rampant rules. I have always been a really big fan of the Old Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing game and in a fit of nostalgia I have rebased a few models originally painted by Erik Thygesen and added another few models to a Chaotic Raiding force I will use with the Dragon Rampant Rules.
I detest the direction of the later versions of the Warhammer world and although these figures are mono-pose ugly plastics they still have more soul than the new stuff GW pours out in my humble pie opium.
Although I do exactly the same every time I take a photo they seem to come off differently each time... these appear to be very lit!

Brutish Chaos armoured warriors. These will of course be elite infantry @6 pts.

The goatmen of the woods! I will field them as Bellicose foot.
I will paint this force in full over the next few weeks.
FOr starters they will raid the coasts of Norsca, where my Saxons and Normans will act the part of Norscans.
Later I intend to add my proper project for Horisont VIII to this thread. That is Undead vs. Halflings. ;D

Nice!

Those are great, taking me way back with those figures ! lol
-
Blimey they bring back memories! Remember me and my dad buying them (mostly my dad) way back when! Paint job is definitely a blast from the past!
In fairness I can't say I like the figures, wouldn't even say they have much soul, evidence enough that GW have been producing big guys with over sized weapons for awhile now!
-
Great use for the miniatures, mono-pose they may be but they'll look great on the tabletop.
-
Great stuff! I love the bright and lively colours.
A neat little eyetrick on the second picture: How many halberds can you count? lol
Looking forward to more.

Red Period II! Nicely done. :)
-
I find the metal on those axes a bit too shiny.
Did you ever consider weathering them down a bit? Maybe introducing some other tonality?
;)
lol
I hate this kind of stuff, but your painting is good as ever :)

The Evil Knights & Beasty Boys are BEAUTIFUL...FANTASTIC brushwork & palette! VERY WELL DONE!
It is just moi I'm sure, but it seems funny having a "Chaos" crew all in precisely the same pose like a precision drill team.

Those take me all the way back to my very first army - very nice and nostalgic 8) 8) 8)
If chaos couldn't also be uniform if it chose to it wouldn't be chaotic :D

A quick addition in the form of some lesser warbeasts. I tried to model the unit like the old chaos unit with some handlers and some war dogs.

I think the unit looks nice.

But then it wouldn't look like dated mid-nineties stuff. ;-) lol

More mad brilliance!
:-* :-*
You have certainly nailed that totally bonkers 'period' look.
Nice work on converting those warriors.
