In an effort to keep myself on track and motivated, I have decided to start a thread for my Beasts of Chaos warband before it's started rather than after it's finished for a change.

After completing my old school Realm of Chaos Khorne warband, and sourcing all the figures I'll need for the warbands of the other three Powers, I became oddly compelled to add a fifth force to the project, a Chaos Undivided group. I thought that it would be best typified by the raw and unthinking might of the beastlike denizens of the deepest forests and remotest mountain tops.

So this is what I've cobbled together:

A mixture of beastmen, centaurs, minotaurs and harpies, backed up by a Skaven sorceror and with the added might of a dragon ogre (that I managed to snag for peanuts off eBay - yay me!).

I'm hoping to tackle them in sections, and post up the results as they happen. Hopefully you guys can cajole me into getting my skinny white arse in gear and finishing this one in a reasonable amount of time, not the two years it took to complete the last lot...

Oh, that's looking quite promising!

Having just bought a load of Chaos stuff (albeit 40k, and far more modern ones to boot) here on the LAF myself, I'll be watching this with interest. Love the eclecticity of the model mix.

Cheers mate. I got a few of these from fellow LAFers too. Very generous people here.

I love the old Realm of Chaos minis, probably my favourite range ever. Some of the sculpting may be a bit ropey by today's standards, but the individuality and imagination more than makes up for it.

Damn straight! The late 80s chaos models are pure fun! Nice selection JB, that Dragon Ogre in particular is a doozy of a model. Look forward to seeing them with some paint slap...errr, expertly applied!

The khorne warband was a treat!

You have been busy

So get painting (looks like a good start)

Nice mix of figures.
Looking forward to seeing them painted up...

Chop, chop!

So, are the first section done yet?

You are far too organised, I would have to make it all up as I went along but that is probably why I never finish a project.

The dragon ogre is one of my old favourites and is a hulking great lump of lead which surprisingly does not appear to have attained any value amongst collectors. It must be to do with that old EE adage "make the rules and they will pay" (or something like that)

I love the minotaur with the short/cutoff sword.

Having seen your other work with vintage Citadel Chaos minis I can only salivate profusely at the thought of what these brigands might look like when finished. Consider me an official cajoler!

Braxandur · « **Reply #10 on:** December 28, 2011, 10:55:48 AM »

I also would not mind seeing how these end up. I still remember your last warband

So get to work!

I think around 25 quid seems to be the norm for the old Dragon Ogre. It's a lovely model indeed. I'm really looking forward to seing how this develops and I hope it won't take two years!

A VERY NICE selection of minis you've accumulated there...of course they'll look SO MUCH COOLER once they're all painted up.

Well a few of them used to be yours buddy, so I hope I'll do 'em justice!

@ Svennn/Pil - I love the dragon ogre figure too, probably one of the best models GW ever made IMO. Does anyone know who sculpted it? It looks a familliar style somehow. I've seen them go for up to forty quid on "buy it now", and 25 - 30 seems average. So I was really happy to get mine for 15, including postage. It really is a whacking great lump of lead.
