Lovely old-school Gumball of Death there, BTW.  Adding a few more modern parts (Chaos Marauder banner, is that?) really spruces it up some.

Gotta love them there rocks, good colour choices.
 

Nice work on that tank too, proper old skool.

Cheers guys! Rich your right it’s from the old marauders sprue!

Weirdly, it's also the new marauder sprue.  They've never updated the sculpts for those, for better or worse.  I suppose the Warcry cultists got their slot in the production schedule or something, they can certainly proxy for them easily enough.

I will never stop thinking of them as Chaos Thugs, though.  The mostly naked chumps were thugs back in the day, marauders were actually dangerous and had some armor.

Yeah it’s about time they updated those marauders! I remember the old metal Citadel marauders, sure I have some mixed in with my chaos warriors

More work on the backdrop rock formation

Looks great so far

GW's metal Chaos line was wonderfully weird and varied, although I have to admit the shift to modular plastics did make kitbashing for even greater variety easier.  The thu...er, marauder plastics are awfully dated and have that same unfortunate physique the poor Catachan jungle fighters have been saddled with for decades, but I have to admit they look okay if you put a bit of extra work into them and don't use the, ah, garish color scheme the catalog photos use.  Be nice to see new ones with better poses and anatomy but not if it resulted in yet another set of monopose models like they've been doing lately.  Even the Warcry stuff left me disappointed in that regard.

I’ve been painting a lot of stuff over the past few months, but needed a decent background to take the pics of my stuff against, I think it’s worked as the pics look nice and bright with an old school feel! Any questions feel free to ask!!

[majorsmith]

And more!
