This is the first of my planned RoC warbands using as many of the original figs as I can manage.

Champion Hannibal Blackhorn:

A bit annoyed as I spent ages on these and was really pleased with the way they came out, but my camera appears to be dying a bit and the pictres don't do them justice. (No, honestly, its the camera...)
Anyway, over to you. All C&C welcome as ever.
Cheers,
JB
-
Great old minis and lovely paint jobs - love the names!
SicBalls! lol
-
YES!
:-*
Man what you showed us brings me back to the golden days!
Please keep this thread updated with more of that splendid stuff, I cannot wait to see the other warbands!
Thanks for sharing.
-
Old Warhammer stuff (I mean, really old, from the days when you were 7 and flipped through the pages of your older cousins White Dwarf-old) always make my heart go boom-boom :)
Especially when its executed in a inspiring way.
Just a silly question, whats RoC?
-
Love that stuff. Brings back memories of my early years of Warhammer...
-
Just a silly question, whats RoC?
Realms of Chaos
-
...whats RoC?
Back in these days, EE brought out two lavishly illustrated rulebooks for Warhammer and 40K detailing two chaotic deities in each one. They were called Realms of Chaos.
Edit: Damn! Too slow again...
-
Are the Path to Glory rules still available? Great fun GW mini game for Chaos Warbands, really cool stuff!
Love yr minis! Had all of them except the champ and the doggy. Those thugs are :-* :-*
-
Bloody nice, JB! My favourites would be Steelhoof and Bloodbear.
-
Wow awesome!
Good use of the original models, gotta love the chaos dwarfs! :)
-
Wow! This stuff is great. I really like the model 'Godhorn'- great work on the shields.
-
Realms of Chaos
I'm an idiot, of course it is! Sleep deprevation or something.
Cheers :)
-
Thanks very much, fellas! :)
I honestly think these old models are my favourite ever, and have spent far too much money recently on buying them up.
I'll post more as I get the other Warbands done, but it might be a while since I'm not the fastest painter and get distracted easily.
great work on the shields.
Cheers. And yes, I was actually sad enough to write all the beastmen's names on their shields. In Dark Tongue.
I have no life... :(
-
That is very cool!
-
Truly fantastic and inspiring work, JollyBob. I fancy they look even more stunning (and formidable) on the tabletop.
Buying venerable GW gubbins on Ebay - and, yes, if you set your heart on something it certainly can get pricey - has been my forte too of late. I've pretty much finished an Undead force and am now working on an Empire band. Naturally I've not started painting yet (okay, I've undercoated some; a step in the right direction, at least!), but will post pictures when things are eventually finished.
Are you planning bands for each Power? If so, I can't wait to see what your Nurgle fellas will look like! I picked up this (http://www.nightsoil.co.uk/zhu/miniatures/warhammer/nurgle-champion1-standing.jpg)* rancid fella not long back, but, rather sacrilegiously, he's ended up as a Zombie Lord in my aforementioned Undead force...
*Not my pic, incidentally.
-
Cheers, and yes, there should be one warband for each of the four powers. I have all the figures I need except a Tzeentch champion, as they are going for very silly money at the moment. Guess I'll be doing that one last.
-
A long as you put up more pictures that's fine with me. Very inspiring.
-
That is a spot-on little warband. Paths To Glory suddenly comes to mind, can't think why!
-
Seriously old school. I remember having the old WHFB catalog (the green one, from 4th ed.) and drooling over many of those figs, especially the beastmen. Well done!
-
Oogle! :-*
-
Thanks very much, fellas! :)

As said elsewhere, really nice indeed.
If you wanted a display base I know that Geronimo's done a few themed ones in the past were you can plug your minis in.... a nice khornate bllod god symbol would be great. If you don't do it I will for mine! ;)
The Commander
-
Okay, so after quite a while, I finally finished a new Champion for the warband. It was pointed out elsewhere that the current one looked a little weedy so one quick order to Miniature Heroes and six months sitting on the corner of the desk gets us...
Hamma Doghead, Champion of Khorne
(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/Chaos/HammaDoghead.jpg)
The now demoted Blackhorn will lead the Thugs in battle (no doubt plotting his revenge in a suitably bloody way).
Hopefully there will be another update for this warband soon too, as I realised they had no ranged attacks and would probably suffer as a result, so had to go and buy myself an old Chaos Dwarf bazooka...
-
Now if this is a true RoC warband you can't possibly know what to buy before rolling on the appropriate table ;).
Great looking force, whish I could adhear to quality of paint job over quantity of PJs done a little more often.
-
Thanks. :)

Don't. If I start thinking like that, I'll end up buying one of everything just in case. And then my wife would leave me.
-
Such old school goodness, I'm in heaven. Paint jobs are almost as good as the names; awesome work.
Damien
-
lovely! the old citade/marauder minis have a special place in my heart.
-
I feel the taint of chaos upon me - inspirational stuff!
-
Wonderful stuff!
-
Ooh more old school madness. It looks like there is some revival going on..... and I like it!
Really like how the metal came out.

Buy you still want it, don't you ;)
-
Buy you still want it, don't you ;)
... Yes... :'(
Thanks all for your comments. :)
-
Top notch addition, JB!
-
Well, another six months goes by, and I finally get the warband finished! At this rate I may get all four done by the time I hit fifty... ;D
(http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb155/GrunterPulpit/Chaos/CDbazookaComp.jpg)
The lovely old Chaos Dwarf bazooka set, added because I reckon that even though Khorne abhors magic, and probably thinks bows are a bit girly, the warband needed something with a bit of range to it. I figure unstable explosives and mad bearded midgets will please the Blood God mightily.
Interested to hear what you all think. :)
Now I need to decide whose turn it is next...!
-
Lovely warband mate. Love the old school goodness. Those beastmen wipe the floor with the current ones in quality. I got a few myself waiting to be painted. Couple of minotaurs too.
:D
-
All those Chaos Dwarf war machines were brilliant minis - top job on the pj too! 8)
Any chance of a big group shot?
-
Any chance of a big group shot?
Seconded.
-
Thirded
;D
-
As above. Plus any news on your next warband yet? Looking forward to seeing that.
:D
-
Love them great job! I love the old minis :-* :-* :-* :-* :o :o :o ;D
-
Really wonderful! :-* I've been sidetracked by D&D for a time but one day I'm going to get to all the awesome RoC stuff I have stashed away. This warband is a real inspiration!
-
Thanks guys! :)
Any chance of a big group shot?
I'll try and get something done over the weekend, camera was on it's last legs last night needing charged, but don't get too excited - I'm crap at group shots!
As for the next warband, I really can't decide at the moment. Tempted by the Slaaneshi one, but equally put off by all the pastel shades I'd need to do. Tzeentch is looking strong for me too. Nurgle will probably be my last one cos it was always my least favourite of the Powers.
Edited for monkey-spelling.
-
Another original and witty project, bravo, Bob!
Nurgle actually would be my first choice :) But anyway, I really looking forward to see the coming gangs, whatever god they do pray to.
-
Thanks Prof! :D
Of course, having read through the two RoC books again at the weekend, I now realise I may have to complete a Beastman warband as well... Have you any idea what proper 3rd ed Dragon Ogres and Centaurs go for on eBay these days?
I'm a fool to myself. :'(

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-Warhammer-Citadel-DS2-Dragon-Ogre-/110728118430?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item19c7e9009e
not cheap..
-
:o Ouch!
Might give that a miss...
-
CONGRATULATIONS on a job WELL DONE! I've always found that no matter how much I've enjoyed the process, finally finishing a work has such a tremendous sense of release...free at last!
If your looking for some old Centaurs check ot what I'm trying to turn into $s here:

Lovely again BOB, good to see you back in the saddle
What is a 3rd ed Centaur, any idea of yeas, I might have one if that's any good (though could be second ed...)?
-
ps, if I ca find it, it is probably from this set

-
Hi Adam, thanks for the comments, its nice to be back. :)
Thanks to you and DeafNala for the offers too. I have one Centaur on the way from eBay, but I will have a think about where I want to end up with this stuff and be in touch if I decide I need any more.
-
:-* :-*Lovely stuff!!! :-* :-*
I absolutely adore any thread featuring old school minis, especially one of this quality.
I have several warbands for Mordheim consisting exclusively of old school brilliance, it is just a matter of finding the time to get round to it all. It has come to the point where I am having to pay someone else to paint them if I ever want to use them!
Some of the minis you have here are amongst my all-time favourites. Some of those Beastmen I have and have a few more in the pipeline, but the real greats in there, IMO, are the Chaos Dwarves.
Those editions of them were simply the best!
Regarding the four Powers; Nurgle was always my favourite. It was the concept of Tzeentch that I could never get my head around............
You are a bad man, JollyBob!
Now I am feeling the NEED to get my hands on even more Chaos goodness.
Two Chaos warbands for Mordheim is obviously not enough!
Keep up the great work.
Cant wait to see more!
-
Thanks again for all the encouragement. :)
Managed to take a group shot this morning, hope you can see everything alright.

Goooooooooooooooo pods (opps I me Khorne!)
Do you have opponents?
-
Do you have opponents?
Nope. :) Its all just for the fun of painting.
Anyway, playing with them means learning rules, and who can be bothered with that?
-
Yes, now that's a fine gang, well done, Bob!

This is what I'm always telling my mates, too.

I just randon roll d10s!

They look great together, JollyBob.
Themed without losing their individuality.
Cant wait to see your next warband.
Great stuff!

The prerequisite Group Photo is TERRIFIC! Funny thing about the final photo is I find myself picking out individuals in the gang & then going back to find their solo photos...this raises the senility question again.
Sadly or not, I find myself in the not-actually-a-gamer group also. The thing I remember most about my gaming experiences is driving away from the game with a headache, that weary, battle fatigue feeling, & asking myself "why do I do this?". Now, aside from the occasional solo game, I just enjoy the creating part plus sharing photos with my Fellow addicts. The minis & terrain tend to get sold off or given away...the selling part normally facilitates making/painting yet more pieces. Sorry for going off on a tangent...kind of.
-
That's certainly a fine looking warband - so Tzeentch next then? :D

I used to do this, so I bought myself the Song of Blades and Heroes rules, slap together some basic stats, and actually play a game from time to time! With those and Skuldred, I have all the complexity I feel I can handle while still having a fun game. My only opponent is 7, so we keep it easy! (Though he regularly kicks my a$$! ::))
Great warband! Khorne was my choice when I played Path to Glory 10 years ago...
-
Lovely little project, excellent old school minis and wonderful execution! 8) :-*
