I really like the Blue Marauders...an odd choice for skin tone...but it works very well!

Cheers,

Hi Braxandur , your dragon ogres turned out great. The Maurauder unit is really original, I really like the conversions, the tiger pants and especially the blue skin!

Keep it up

I'm curious - how many models does it take to take you to 3000 pts?

Thats a good question... I still like to add the following:
3 or 4 trolls
one or two a unit of 5 marauder horsemen
the warshrine
a hellcannon
a gaint
3 characters on foot
2 on steeds
1 on monster (manticore, dragon or Griffon)
10 warhounds
1 chariot
2 chaos spawns

I'll probably leave the tzeentch theme at around 1000 points. Some units will be undivided and I would like to have around 1000 points dedicated to each of the gods

Luckily I already have 20 marauders, 10 marauder horseman and 5 knights dedicated to nurgle, as well as a block of 20 khorne marauders. Just need to update all of them in basing style and a few finishing of a few details to bring everything together as one army.
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

OK!

That was significantly less than I anticipated.  lol

Reason I ask is that I've got a tonne of fantasy chaos warriors lying around and I wouldn't mind painting them at some point. In these parts of the world fantasy is one of the most played games... just not by me!

It actually goes quite fast. The army in the last picture is around 750 points, add two characters and I'm already at my 1000 points of Tzeentch. Worse, I'm often suprised at how little units I have on the table...

Even then, the block of chaos warriors (now already 370 points) can be upgraded to chosen warriors (450 points) should I really want to go overboard.

Another update for the army.

The last few years I have used a resin "warped" model from the leviathan range in my army. The paintjob was 10+ years old and the base looked horrible. Last weekend I tore the model from it's old base, rebased it and tried to update the paint job. Painting skin on large models is defenitly different from painting on small models..  still, I tried to use the same style, so the model would fit in nicely with the rest of the army.

No stellar paintjob, but a job well done none the less :) One day, when I'm going to paint the giant from the "avalyne the lifegiver set", or Bakesh Va, I'll put more effort into it. Until then, this guy will do :)






To finish, a size comparison shot, to show that this guy works quite well as a giant.


No update in the following week, due to a trip to Madrid :)

Hi!

Do you mind if I post a picture of the warped barbarian on my leviathan blog?

All the best!

You're welcome to use the picture :)
I must honestly say that I have never seen a lot of painted leviathan models. Which is a particular shame, since ther eare some nice gems in the range... btw. Really like your blog.

For those thinking that I'm only working on my western scenery nowadays... Here is an update, with (sadly) few finished models...

A lot of these units are at the moment work in progress. If I manage to get all my units painted before a tournament in march I visit the units that need more work

anyhow, on to bussiness:

I rebased my old disc rider miniature. During the last few games it became quite evident that the older base was annoying for gaming purposes, the thing kept falling appart and was very static...

I didn't update the paintjob, which is at least 10 years old....






An old Lord of Change is now being used as a deamon prince of Tzeentch:





Painted around 3 years ago, this hellcannon got a new base. Still need to work a bit on that and give some parts of it it a (new) lick of paint






My Warshrine is progressing nicely:

Awesome army.  That is my favorite disk rider.  The maruders are really cool as well.  Chaos armys are fun you can do what ever you want with them and no one bats an eye.

this hellcannon
Jeez, that's a fuckton of spikez and skullz!

Nice additions, apart from the cannon. Always had a soft spot for the lord of change minis... Never owned one, mind. Might have to remedy that! =)
