My fantasty armies (update 14/07/2011)

[Braxandur]

After 10+ years I'm finally getting to the point of getting a warhammer army completly painted. I've been playing for years, but with changes in the army lists and my utter lack of disciple in finishing of bases, I have never managed to really complete an army.

Well this time I'm going for gold!

Here are some shots of my last work, a unit of chaos warriors (of Tzeentch) and a warshrine (wip). Busy removing old basing material at the moment and rebasing some other models. More to follow in the next weeks

 Nice unit of Chaos warriors.Like the Tau head in there too.Great idea.

[Christian]

Great idea for the warshrine. I always like seeing what people come up with!

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Really like the warriors, nice use of heads from various plastics. I really like the Kroot and Tau ones.

The warshrine is pretty cool too.

[Damien]

The Chaos wizards are amazing, are they GW? I've never seen them before.

Is it just me, or does the wizard on the right look like Lemy from Motorhead? I also would like to know where they are from...I dont think they are GW. Nice wip on the warshrine, what are you planning on using to pull/push it?

[oldskoolrebel]

I I also would like to know where they are from...

Ditto

I really like the variety in the Chaos Warrior's regiment. I'd never have though of using Tau or Kroot heads. Which just begs the question what other head could you use? Beastmen, Skaven, Lizardman possibly even tyranid.

The wizards are some old citadel minatures. If only I wasn't a yonug lad without money back then....  Otherwise I would have bought a lot more of the models of that era...

Tyranid heads are too large imho. I did look into that. Beastmen and skaven do fit quite well, thought the skaven heads have a tendency to be looking up... I did use Bestigor heads in my Khorne marauder unit.

 I'll take a few more shots of the unit later on. Let's see if anyone van identify all 20 heads. Or rather from which 13 different sets they come.... (Tzeench , the master of time and space was telling me to use a lot of different sets :p)

[Braxandur]

The following pitures sadly show that there are still a few things that I do need to paint. Though, these guys were ready enough to hit the battlefield in this fashion without most people noticing. Still need to do boots, hair, one head and the wrapping on the weapons.

So in there are heads from 12 different sets (I mistakenly counted both Tau heads as being from a different set in the last post...)





The picture quality is a bit less then earlier on todat due to reduced light at the moment.

[Braxandur]

As for the warshrine, I'm planning to let it be pulled by a Chaos Spawn. I might but some bars on the lower half and put prisoners beneath the contraption.

The plan is to have a slot with a rare earth magnet the back, and a set of banners (each of the gods, and one undivided) that can be fitted.

[Braxandur]

A small update. The update on the Dragon Ogres is progressing rather well.




In the meanwhile, I have updated the bases on my warhound and marauder unit, so the army won't look like a lot of loose units



And off course, a shot of the units together, because they wanted a group picture

[commissarmoody]

Most excellent! What are you going to add next? what Pt value we looking at here?

[Braxandur]

I hope to have my warshrine and hellcannon finished in the next week or so. though I'm a bit sidetracked with job interviews and an old west project.

The aim is to have at least about 2200 points, but if possible around 3000, so I can mix and match a bit

[commissarmoody]

Groovy, I am trying my hand agine at WHF myself, with an Empire army. just got the Empire Battlion, Gen and Wizs from the store.

[Dr. The Viking]

oooh tiger stripes! I always love that 

Very nice.
