Title: The Lost and the Damned
Post by: DonVoss on May 31, 2011, 01:45:18 PM
Two small gangs for "The Lost and the Damned"...

Over the last few weeks I builded two warbands for the glory of the Chaos Gods, as a kind of side-project.
Wanted to do it for ages, because I think its the best book ever printed by GW...
Full of colourfull stories and backgroud.

First my Tzeentch-warband, led by Bjorn the burner (homage to Werner Flamefist), and his retinue of scum...
Still need to add a few members to reach the holy number of Tzeentch.

And master Pestus, the Champion of Nurgle...

Sweet, thanks for posting this. I've been considering breaking out the Slaves to Darkness and rolling up some warbands myself.

There's something very "old school" and slightly disturbing about these miniatures. You've done a great job!

Agree with Christian... there's something oldschool about it, even if it's mostly newschool plastics. Could be the background, maybe.

How about a rundown of models used and conversions made? Great job!

No matter what it is, I like it!

Are you also going to play the warband system?

Post by: DonVoss on May 31, 2011, 05:08:26 PM
Cool that you see somthing old-school in it... ;)

@rules
I intend to run a little "path to glory" at our club, but wiht very limited homegrown rules.
Mainrules Songs of Blades... so with fixed warbands and a little list from wich to buy things for victorypoints. And when you have 15 VP or so you won. Gaining VP for gaming, winning, killing oposed Champ etc.
I think the whole concept of "path to glory" (getting random reenforcements) would not work in our club, because people wouldn't want to paint new miniatures for it...

Buddha conversion... great idea.  I have been eyeing those off at the bargain store for a while for scenery items!

Super warbands! I always wanted to try those rules but it always seemed like a lot of work to set up the gangs. Love to see pictures of the battles when your done.

Love the big guy - heads up for some bad Karma though!  ;)

The skinny Tzeentch fella' pretty cool too - as they all are.  :)

Don't need to see this, have a nice selection of RoC figures, (champions, beast men, demons etc..) all tucked away to use 'some day' tm I can't start them now!

I painted a little Khorne-warband for our clubnight at friday.
Its a test to see, if the "Songs of..."-rules can transport the "Lost and the Damned"-feeling... ;)

And after all: an old-school-figure (the Khorne-Champ in skeleton-armour)... :D

(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/SoBH/ChaosWarbands/Khorne-Gang.jpg)

And of course more "bad karma", but I had to do the Happy God-conversion... ;D

Besides I painted a few reenforcements for my other bands.

(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/SoBH/ChaosWarbands/Verstrkung.jpg)

A skeleton, a Slaneesh-Champion and a plagueflagellant (one of the very cool things one could take back in "Lost and the Damned" in your Nurgle army).

I'm with Donpinpom on this: VERY COOL minis & I LOVE the Giant-headed Statue...it's rather a disreputable Buddha.

Brilliant stuff.  It looks like it was ripped from the pages of White Dwarf in 1990 or so, and in a good way :)

If you get Paths to Glory up and running using any system I would love to see how you did it.  A Realm of Chaos campaign is a gaming itch that I have never got around to scratching...

Nice work! I was originally dragged into GW stuff by all the old chaos figures.

So here is a little update for my Warbands-Project: the Centaure-Gang.
Back in Lost and the Damned you could not only take humans as your Warband-Champion, but Centaures, Gor or even Minotaures could be the Chaos-Champions of your choice.

After building up 3 of the 4 gods I decided to take a break and put a centaure-Warband together...

(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/SoBH/ChaosWarbands/Centys1.jpg)

The shaman and the Gor in the cavern entrance are from Fenryll, the ungors and the Centaure from GW, the cool gor in the imperiums costume is from Metal Magic IIRC. The cavern mountain is from the pet store... ;)

Those are my thoughts precisely. You have done a fantastic job on these. I am in the market for some new skirmish gaming rules and many people have suggested Songs of Blades and Heroes - would others recommend them too? I have been painting up loads of old school stuff recently but there is nothing really coherent in my collection. A small warband game would probably allow me to use them in anger.

SBH is a great game, Skulldred from LAF residen kingofdaveness is also an allegedly good game. I haven't tried it out yet, but from what I've been reading I think it'll replace SBH in the not so distant future.

I hadn't really looked into this thread yet! Awesome work on all the warbands and I love your pictures and settings, great work all-round!  :-*

Very Nice Ghoulish and Chaosy  >:D

I've been tweaking the Lost and Damned Rules that came in a GW internet article a while back (in the dark and glorious days when GW cared about their customers) and thats been a blast (Chaos warriors boltguns and trolls what could possibly go wrong?  ::) )

Never did make any as nice as these though, and I cant seem to find the copy I was working on either (but still have the original rules). The article, one of the best they ever did load, however has been lost to the warp.  :-[

Oh yeah- would love to see a skulldred battle report with these minis!
Got me thinking about more warbands now.

Brilliant stuff- keep it coming!

What's the backdrop by the way?
Title: Re: The Lost and the Damned
Post by: Rabbitz on June 15, 2011, 05:38:31 PM
Awesome stuff.

I recently got the Slaves to Darkness book as a PDF.  I don't suppose anyone knows if the Lost and the Damned book is available as a PDF anywhere?

Thanx for your comments... :D

@background
I googled for chaotic landscape or so. And printed it, but cant remeber where the picture is from. The Landscape on page 1 is mordor with a little photoshop... ;)

@Lost and the Damned pdf
It would be illegal if I tell you to google it... :o

Lovely.  I've got the Path to Glory rules that were in WD somewhere.  A group of us had a crack at it a while ago but a combination of short attention spans and unreliability got in the way.  It's a good excuse to go out and get a few chaotic models.

Interesting mixture of old and new miniatures, excellent painting and photography!  It cannot be denied that Chaos are one of the most, erm, 'photogenic' of the Old World's denizens.

Could I talk you into emailing me a link to that background you used?

I love it, I'd love to try to track down the artist, or have a copy for my own use.

Brilliant- just inspired me to break my chaos armies down into themed warbands for Skulldred Skirmish.

Exellent stuff! I am currently working on a cuple of chaos warbands in 15mm for some skirmish games, also using the songs of blades and glory.
