Title: Night Stalkers: LatD Warband - Now a start of a Army
Post by: Chico on March 05, 2014, 01:05:18 PM

I've been on the look out for a small project to keep me busy for a weeks, so I've rolled up a Chaos Warband using the 1991 Book Lost and the Damned. I did fudge my Champion rolls a little and choose a Female Human rather then a random roll on the chart though, who cares though what matters is I'm going to enjoy making every second of this project.

So my rolls:

Zanna: Champion of Malal - Human Female level 15
Heavy Armour, shield, Mark of Malal (Undivided)
Chaos Gift: 64-69 Strength +3
526-535 Irrational Hatred

As already stated I choose my race/gender & level, thats because I already had Kalee from Hasslefree to use. Perfect don't you think?

(http://www.hfminis.co.uk/img_cms/product_images/h017web.jpg)

39-41 Chaos Warrior
4-5 Chaos Marauder
Mark of Malal (Undivided)
846-850 Spits Acid
476-480 Horrible Steench
Chaos Gift: Chaos Armour

Up next turned out to be a Chaos Warrior with the stats of a Marauder. He got Chaos Armour from his Undivided Mark and both a Strange smell and a bad spitting problem.

92-93 Troll
221-215 Breaths Fire
261-270 Cloud of Flies

Ohhh I rolled a Troll! Crap! now I've got to paint one *Grumbles* Hmmm time to use my Reaper Bones Troll I had shitting around for awhile!

(https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR0XGipghiUYlyF3Po-73DSkfMNpxYlhfpzSrEtHvcMU-u132tQsw)

54-60 - 2d4 Brigands (7)
Brigand Hero Level 5

Yay humans, this gave me an excuse to spend some money at Forlorn Hope games and buy a bunch of Barbarians. I was planning on getting some anyway. Not bad 8 (Including the Chaos Warrior) cost me £12 with free shipping.

Should be good painting up a random collection of figures from 3 separate companies and see how the gel.

So the first 2 of my Warband have been cleaned & based and of course some minor converting.

Zanna: Champion of Malal

Zanna was born in the Crow Eaters a tribe famous for their disfigurements and the worship of the God Nurgle. Zanna being born beautiful was therefore a disappointment to the tribal elders who had her outcast to the wastes. Zanna cries of despair was heard by Malal the Renegade God, the true outcast and Father of revenge. Malal gifted her with great strength and fuelled her burning hatred as she  slew in his name.

Sludge: Chaos Troll

Sludge started his life wandering the border of the Troll Country and Kislev, he led a simple life of eating, killing, sleeping and more killing. Until one fateful night he slew a black and white clad knight bearing a glowing obsidian sword, drawn to the sword and hearing whispers of power Sludge took it and has since then been slowly changing. Sludge is now almost albino as the sword slowly takes over his brain his body is reflecting that change by becoming more white the chosen colour of Malal

So that's the first 2 preped and ready for the primer, quite looking forward to painting these.

Finished the Troll, not a bad figure to paint and took the primer (To be fair all my Bones figures have taken primer well)

The complete Warband so far with just 5 more Barbarians and 1 Chaos Warrior left too paint.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DZfpxI1TRn0/Uxs3b_O19OI/AAAAAAAABZk/BcNqaoEqZHM/s1600/DSCF0074.JPG)

The Brigands are a group of Barbarians from the 4 corners of the frozen wastes lead by Dargoth they now follow Zanna in her worship of Malal.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mm0v5MV0Fzc/Uxs3bq4775I/AAAAAAAABZs/Tx_9_0Cmr3g/s1600/DSCF0099.JPG)

Dargoth hails from the southern Chaos Wastes and journeys far for the sake of slaughter and revenge. He leads his band of cut-throats and Berserkers with an iron fist. Not onc has he been challenged for his postion such is his hold over those who follow him.

Gar is a frothing Berserker who has only goal and that is to slay in the name of any deity, for he cares not what God listens only that they do

Looking good. Can't wait to see the whole warband finished. I've got that Hasslefree chick too. Mine's painted up as a champion of Tzeentch. Part of a six figure warband of nekkid (ish) Hasslefree chaos chicks.  :D

Thanks everyone,

Small update:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XMlfgHLuikE/UxxjezQIV5I/AAAAAAAABaQ/agNHapq17Ls/s1600/DSCF0121.JPG)

2 new warband members:

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IfiuLNmZOe8/UxxjezlpBNI/AAAAAAAABaI/Bwg03_X1-kQ/s1600/DSCF0107.JPG)

Marz is far along the road to damnation/Godhood but little is indeed known of the warrior. A able bodied fighter and quick of mind it is of wonder why he doesn't lead his own Warband.  Zanna knowns why for it is her leash in which she controls Marz.

Sever is the son of Gar but has already started the road of the Beserker, his axe has claimed many a head in the name of Malal.

That's a nice looking warband you are creating there. I like the back stories you have given each character.

Thanks, It's good fun working on these but peoples nice comments is always a welcome boon.

That's a nice looking warband you are creating there. I like the back stories you have given each character.

Thanks, Its the added extras which makes making a Lost and the Damned warbands so fun. I'd recommend it to everyone who fancies a laugh and has limited wargaming time/space.

Just a quick post just to let you know I'm still been slowly working on this Warband with 2 more fully painted and 2 others having a minor repaint (Orange hair on the Berserker clashed too much).

Just 2 more left to paint and I can then move on to the army on full.. Yup that's right a fully playable 2k WhFB3 (Oldhammer) Malal Chaos Army, to go with my Undead and Dark Elves.

Highlights include Ral Partha Beastmen, large units of Barbarians (With a mix of ranges including Ral Partha/Grenadier/Hasslefree). A unit of Reaper Bones ''Trolls'' (Well it's a mix of monsters).

Nice warband, Chico.
Those figures blend really well together with your colour scheme.

Excellent choice, using that figure as the leader.

Thanks everyone, It's really fun to have a bash at doing. Plus everything cost me a total of £18 so nice and cheap :)

Started preparing a bunch of other toys too turn it into a playable WhFB 3rd Ed army.

A few packages have been turning up which I have hidden from the Wife, but as most bits are Grenadier and Ral Partha (A few Hasslefree/Reaper/other thrown in) everything should come to under £100.

Awesome end result Chico. I love how bestial the guy on the far right looks. The troll turned out beautifully too. Inspired me to finish a Beastmen warband I've been working on, on/off, for about 4 years So cheers.  :D

Post by: Chico on March 15, 2014, 02:39:29 PM
Thanks again everyone.

So with the actual Warband finished I decided to make it a full WhFB3 2k force. Heres the first few done: Shaman, Standard, 2 Barbarian Thugs.

(https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/1557479_10152292910780149_1624855607_n.jpg)

Ral Partha Reaver & Grenadier Barbarian

Grenadier Barbarian Shaman & Standard

I think I'll start some Female Ral Partha Barbarians next or maybe some Beastmen. So much fun stuff to choose from.
Title: Re: Night Stalkers: LatD Warband - Now a start of a Army
Post by: Chico on March 17, 2014, 02:23:10 PM
Finished a few more bits:

4 Grenadier Evil Foot Knights aka Chaos Warriors.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vl51v4Kx8gw/UycBSHVU2OI/AAAAAAAABcc/kEmSJIoerQY/s1600/DSCF0212.JPG)

The following list is what I have completed:

Zanna
Shaman
10 Barbarian Thugs Inc Champion & Standard Bearer
5 Chaos Warriors
2 Trolls

Left to paint/been ordered:

20 Barbarian Thugs
5 Chaos Warriors
1 Troll (Reaper Ettin)
5 Beastmen

So plenty left to paint and I just need to work out what to buy after getting this bunch painted, Hmmm more Trolls? Chaos Goblins? Thug Cavalry?  More Beastmen are a must as well.

So whatcha think?

Heh thanks, try explaining that too the Wife why i need army no. 22 though heh

I had a friend, Tom Berg by name, whose hobby prior to getting into war gaming was finding small, often illegal drinking establishments & meeting the interesting females that frequented them. Coming home somewhat the worse for wear was placing some strain on his marital relationship. His wife viewed toy soldiers as The Thing that saved their marriage. It beats counselors & divorce lawyers.

Chico, you might be interested to learn that Midlam Minis will add the old Metal Magic barbarians to their catalogue very soon... =) Great minis that mix well with copplestone's grenadier stuff. Some of them are a wee bit on the small side in comparison to the most muscular heroes of Copplestone's but it's no big deal. All in all they mix well. I can get you a few comparison pics if you'd like.

Cool additions to the force, btw. Really like them!
